Mark Twain

 

Congratulations! You just downloaded a banned book!! WooWoo! More free distribution...

You are going "WTF????"


Here is the con/deal: The Mark Twain classic Huckleberry Finn has been banned at some libraries and schools, so I went to Gutenberg.org, the site with a bazillion public domain texts, and downloaded a text version of Huckleberry Finn. Finally I used common steganography to embed the text of the book within the above image. 


Here is the kicker: since anyone reading this has clicked on that image just helped distribute a copy of the book! To test, just use whatever steganography tools there are for your platform (I used steghide on Linux) and the password "1stamendment" and the original book file will be extracted ready to read on any platform.


So there. Fuck you book banners.
