We Need Copyright Reform, Not ACTA! | TorrentFreak
february 2012 by frogpond
The internet is a great tool to alert politicians to all the dangers of this treaty, just as the internet was a tool to mobilize people against the SOPA and PIPA bills in the US. For any lobby to be effective, however, it must be fact based. Misinformed criticism helps those supporting ACTA.
The dangers and threats of the ACTA treaty are shared by free-speech advocates and access to medicine groups alike. ACTA is seeking to deal with a number of widely differing issues, and hence does not do a good job at any of them. Additionally, there are serious concerns about the collateral damage that ACTA would cause.

may 2010 by frogpond
Eigentumsfragen sind Machtfragen.

Die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung und iRights.info präsentieren einen Reader zum Thema, mit Texten von Lawrence Lessig, Cory Doctorow, Till Kreutzer, Ilja Braun und anderen.

Inside Google Books: Bringing the power of Creative Commons to Google Books
august 2009 by frogpond
Today, we're launching an initiative to help authors and publishers discover new audiences for books they've made available for free under Creative Commons (CC) licenses. Rightsholders who want to distribute their CC-licensed books more widely can choose to allow readers around the world to download, use, and share their work via Google Books.
Creative Commons licenses make it easier for authors and publishers to tell readers whether and how they can use copyrighted books. You can grant your readers the right to share the work or to modify and remix it. You can decide whether commercial use is okay. There's even an option to dedicate your book to the public domain.
If you're a rightsholder interested in distributing your CC-licensed book on Google Books, you have a few different options. If you're already part of our Partner Program, you can make your book available under CC by updating account settings. If not, you can sign up as a partner. You can select from one of seven Creative

The Problem With Music
april 2009 by frogpond
This oft-referenced article is from the early '90s, and originally appeared in Maximum Rock 'n' Roll magazine. While some of the information and figures listed here are dated, it is still a useful and informative article. And no, we don't know how to reach Steve Albini.

Monopoly des Wissens
september 2008 by frogpond
Spiegel-Online hat einen guten Artikel über die Arbeit und Geschäftsmodelle von wissenschaftlichen Fachmagazinen, sowie die Open Access Alternativen: Monopoly des Wissens.
Sie haben kaum Kosten, wenig Konkurrenz, saftige Abo-Einnahmen - und einen ehrwürdigen Ruf: Der Markt für wissenschaftliche Fachmagazine wie “Science” oder “Nature” ist lukrativ und genau aufgeteilt. Doch in Zeiten des Internets und freier Information regt sich Widerstand gegen das Wissensmonopol.

Grundsätzlich gilt, dass bei vielen Entwicklern wenig Kenntnisse über die Unterschiede der Lizenzen und die Integration in große kommerzielle Projekte herrscht, andererseits kennen viele auf Lizenzfragen spezialisierte Anwälte nicht die technischen Unterschiede zwischen der dynamischen Einbindung einer Bibliothek und der Kommunikation einer Anwendung mit einer anderen über einen Socket

Alternatively, of course, we could try to adapt to the world as it is, rather than dreaming of what it used to be. But hell, where are the headlines in that?
