For monitoring gang activity, police have a free intelligence-gathering tool at their disposal: social media. This is just one example from Newport Virginia.

“From the perspective of police investigators, this is an intelligence gold mine because this is open source information,” Knox said. “It’s due diligence for any police department to take that stuff seriously.”

But social media alone doesn’t finish the investigation, as police have to corroborate and confirm any information, Spencer said. To use Facebook information in court, police also need to file search warrants.

« Makers » est assurément un plaidoyer pour le modèle open source, libéré des contraintes des excès de propriété privée. Intéressante aussi cette impression que la liberté d’entreprendre et que le libre accès à l’information et à la connaissance sont étroitement liés.

Je crois que ça ne doit pas s’arrêter aux seuls territoires des chercheurs mais cela doit investir des terrains plus larges dont ceux de l’Education toute entière.

Car le « Faire » n’est pas une simple action commandée, il implique la capacité à raisonner et à comprendre. La séparation entre la réflexion et l’action, entre l’intellectuel et le technicien n’existe pas.

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.

Fifth myth: Without copyright, authors would not get paid.

Open access

Frequently referred to as crowdsourcing, and a darling of the Web 2.0 industry, it has recently come of age as the tools and marketplaces for on-demand work capacity on the network have expanded far beyond the early volunteer communities that originally proved out the concepts. These pioneers, which include the world of open source software and online services such as YouTube and Threadless, get most of their value from a large group of people or community through the simple use of an open invitation.

The reasons that a business would use crowdsourcing is varied. They include ability to offload peak demand, access to cheaper business inputs, generating better results, and tackling problems that would have been too difficult to do otherwise.
