Do we need copyright? - 1 views

  • Yet we are trained to hold copyright as a natural right. People who infringe on copyright are labelled as pirates, thieves. We are told that they literally steal from hard-working creators.
  • Fourth myth: We know that copyright makes us collectively better off. The evidence points in the opposite direction. Germany had weak copyright laws up until the Copyright Act of 1901. Yet, maybe because of these weak laws, it became a literary and scientific power: (…), only 1,000 new works appeared annually in England at that time – 10 times fewer than in Germany – and this was not without consequences. Höffner believes it was the chronically weak book market that caused England, the colonial power, to fritter away its head start within the span of a century, while the underdeveloped agrarian state of Germany caught up rapidly, becoming an equally developed industrial nation by 1900.

  • Similarly, Japan, Korea and Taiwan have maintained weak intellectual property regimes. It is believed that this was a key factor to explain
  • My position: I see no justification for copyright. I am effectively a writer: I write lecture notes, research articles and blog posts. I get paid without relying on copyright. Instead, I have patrons: funding agencies, students, and blog readers. But if we insist on having copyright, it should at least be limited to a short term (say 5 years or less).

Electric Electric - Discipline - 0 views

    "Après le choc qu'avait représenté pour moi la découverte du premier album d'Electric Electric, "Sad Cities Handclappers", en 2009, ces trois années d'attente furent réellement longues. Alors, je prends le temps de bien écouter le petit dernier, "Discipline", que viennent de mettre au monde conjointement les labels Hertzfeld, African Tape, Khytibong et Murailles Music."

Shirky: Ontology is Overrated -- Categories, Links, and Tags - 1 views

  • I want to convince you that many of the ways we're attempting to apply categorization to the electronic world are actually a bad fit, because we've adopted habits of mind that are left over from earlier strategies.

  • Yahoo is saying "We understand better than you how the world is organized, because we are trained professionals. So if you mistakenly think that Books and Literature are entertainment, we'll put a little flag up so we can set you right, but to see those links, you have to 'go' to where they 'are'."
  • You don't have to have just a few links, you could have a whole lot of links.
  • A URL can only appear in three places. That's the Yahoo rule.
  • They missed the end of this progression, which is that, if you've got enough links, you don't need the hierarchy anymore. There is no shelf. There is no file system. The links alone are enough.
  • One reason Google was adopted so quickly when it came along is that Google understood there is no shelf, and that there is no file system. Google can decide what goes with what after hearing from the user, rather than trying to predict in advance what it is you need to know.
    • Caro Mailloux
       
      Laisser les usagers se faire leur langage et le tagger à leur façon puis, en tant que Google, prendre cette info et l'utiliser pour créer une ''taxonomie''.
  • "Well, that's going to be a useful category, we should encode that in advance."
  • They point to the signal loss from the fact that users, although they use these three different labels, are talking about the same thing.
  • You can also turn that list around. You can say "Here are some characteristics where ontological classification doesn't work well": Domain Large corpus No formal categories Unstable entities Unrestricted entities No clear edges Participants Uncoordinated users Amateur users Naive catalogers No Authority
  • The other big problem is that predicting the future turns out to be hard, and yet any classification system meant to be stable over time puts the categorizer in the position of fortune teller.

      ne pas prévoir d'avance
  • Here is del.icio.us, Joshua Shachter's social bookmarking service. It's for people who are keeping track of their URLs for themselves, but who are willing to share globally a view of what they're doing, creating an aggregate view of all users' bookmarks, as well as a personal view for each user.
    • Caro Mailloux
       
      chouette description concrète de l'utilisation de del.icio.us!
  • " If you find a way to make it valuable to individuals to tag their stuff, you'll generate a lot more data about any given object than if you pay a professional to tag it once and only once.
    • Caro Mailloux
       
      utilité du tagging
  • Tags are simply labels for URLs, selected to help the user in later retrieval of those URLs. Tags have the additional effect of grouping related URLs together. There is no fixed set of categories or officially approved choices. You can use words, acronyms, numbers, whatever makes sense to you, without regard for anyone else's needs, interests, or requirements.
    • Caro Mailloux
       
      Chouette description de ''Tags''.
  • The chart shows a great variability in tagging strategies among the various users.
  • But this is what organization looks like when you turn it over to the users -- many different strategies, each of which works in its own context, but which can also be merged.
  • We are moving away from binary categorization -- books either are or are not entertainment
  • But they either had no way of reflecting that debate or they decided not to expose it to the users. What instead happened was it became an all-or-nothing categorization, "This is entertainment, this is not entertainment." We're moving away from that sort of absolute declaration, and towards being able to roll up this kind of value by observing how people handle it in practice.
  • What you do instead is you try to find ways that the individual sense-making can roll up to something which is of value in aggregate, but you do it without an ontological goal.
  • you believe that we make sense of the world, if we are, from a bunch of different points of view, applying some kind of sense to the world
    • Caro Mailloux
       
      ''we make sens of the world together thru what's worth aggregating'' = not ontology 
  • we're going to be able to build alternate organizational systems, systems that, like the Web itself, do a better job of letting individuals create value for one another, often without realizing it.
  • If you think the movies and cinema people were going to have a fight, wait til you get the queer politics and homosexual agenda people in the same room.

  • Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) which would allow the government to shut down web site that is suspected of violating copyright. Using SOPA, a publisher could have a repository of research papers shut down. While at it, the publishers are also promoting a bill, the Research Works Act which would make it illegal for government agencies to require open access from publicly funded researchers.

Google Donates $6.5 Million in Funding to Assist Fact-Checking Organizations in Battlin... - 0 views

  • Google has pledged $6.5 million in funding to support fact-checkers and nonprofit organizations that are combating misinformation around the world, with an immediate focus on coronavirus

      Well done Google!
  • an overabundance of information can make it harder for people to obtain reliable guidance about the coronavirus pandemic

      This is a big issue in every single domain...
  • the mixed and confused messaging around the pandemic has the potential to cause major damage. If even one group of people thinks that they're immune, for example, they could be going out in public, ignoring social distancing rules, and spreading the virus unwittingly, essentially undoing the efforts of those who've correctly self-isolated and sacrificed to play their part.

  • Labeling news organizations as 'fake news' if you don't agree with them is not helpful - we trust news organizations to provide us with research-backed, accurate reportage, in order to keep the world informed, and to help keep us safe. 
  • Maybe, the COVID-19 pandemic will reiterate our need to hold news organizations and digital platforms more accountable for the claims that they make and distribute respectively, which could eventually help to improve the flow of information overall.

    Tous les domaines ont un besoin urgent du fact-checking et surtout de tenir responsable ceux qui publient des fausses informatins
