BBC News - The rights and wrongs of digital books - 2 views

  • The latter part of 2010 may mark the point from which future historians date the transition to screen-based reading for literary fiction as well as reference works
  • However, even they are not yet willing to accept that the price of electronic texts is too high, and that readers will not pay the same for a bunch of bits as they will for a bound book, since the market knows that it costs less to send electrons over a network than it does to buy paper, make books out of it and ship the physical objects around the world
  • When you buy an digital copy to read on your e-book reader, phone or laptop all you get is the copyrighted bit, and what you pay for is a licence to have a copy or copies of the text.

  • Amazon recently announced that it will let Kindle owners "lend" books, but only for two weeks and only once per title.
  • The idea of "intellectual property" deliberately conflates the two and allows politicians to pretend that laws about physical property should extend to digital downloads. We need to challenge this unjustifiable elision if we are to think seriously about copyright and business models in the age of electronics.

Publishers Double Down - 0 views

  •  
    Kind of an emerging use of old-technology, but universities and publishers are fighting over the use of electronic scans / copies of book chapters used for classes. I think ti's interesting how content hasn't necessarily changed at the university level like it has for K-12 (like interactive textbooks instead of decades-old material). Maybe due to specialization at universities? Or just that professors at university are less open to adoption of "new" material?

Piracy goes 3D as Physibles eye your 3D printer - SlashGear - 1 views

  •  
    With the global focus on combating digital piracy while protecting people's free speech and rights on the internet (the current controversies over SOPA, for example), here is a thought-provoking idea about what the future of IP, digital piracy, and citizenship will have to deal with: 3D printers- as they become cheaper, better, and more mainstream... will designs for actual physical objects become what is easily pirated online? So now, you can make a physical object (toys, clothing, etc) by downloading the design files on pirate sites, then make the object yourself. Will digital piracy extend into theft (making unauthorized copies) of physical objects?
