Is there a place to get Goljan audio lectures legally? Basically, what is the original source?
Thanks.

not only that but i think those recordings are like from the late 90's...
He is obviously speaking into his microphone so it was made with his knowledge. The distribution was probably not intended, though.
Where were the recordings made? Does he go to schools to give these lecutres or was it at one of those review retreats?

Another possibility is that there were speakers in whatever room or auditorium the lectures were in, and the person just sat next to one of the speakers with a tape recorder. If it were a clean copy done directly through Goljan's personal microphone, you probably wouldn't hear quite as much background noise.

After further review I think the recording comes from a Kaplan course. A google search revealed some of the names of the lecturers he alludes to taught for Kaplan. If he did an audio lecture series like this and sold it, he would make bank. Everyone would buy it I'm quite sure, and he would make more money than whatever the guys at Falcon are paying him. I know I'd buy it, probably pay upwards of 200 for it.
I'm guessing that a large number of people that take the Falcon live course do it solely because Goljan is doing the path lectures. Their website actually has a message that says that they don't normally release names of the lecturers, BUT Goljan will be doing the path lectures. If he released audio now, I think it would significantly eat into Falcon's revenue, so I bet there's something in his contract with them that prevents him from doing it.
just a reminder that the "Goljan Audio" files are copyrighted.
Discussing how to acquire them or requesting them on SDN is a violation of the terms of service.

I don't understand how discussing how to acquire a copyrighted material is against terms of service. If I asked for the link of how to get the book Rapid Review Path on amazon, that would be a violation based on your definition. Unless I specifically state, "How do I get an illegal copy of Goljan audio" it doesn't make sense to censor all discussion of copyrighted material.
If Goljan copyrighted the material, he knows it exists and is probably legally available somehow. Why else would you make and copyright something than to make a profit?
His lecture material is copyrighted. The audio is a bootleg for these lectures he's done for Kaplan. It's essentially the equivalent of me photocopying RR Path and putting it in a 3 ring binder and selling that, then wondering why Goljan would mind.
And before you say "but that would directly encroach on his profits since he offers his own book, whereas he offers no actual legal audio files", keep in mind that people PAY to go to these Kaplan courses.
It's really not a difficult concept.
. Kaplan isnt losing out since they can no longer off Goljan live lectures.
