  •  
    Dans un contexte de lutte contre la piraterie en ligne, Dailymotion, qui a conclu des accords avec différentes sociétés de gestion collective françaises pour rémunérer certains ayants droits semble vouloir solidifier son business model, pour éviter la multiplication des actions de « notice and take down » fondées sur la LCEN, et se conformer aux accords Olivennes, accord interprofessionnel base du projet de loi Hadopi, validé par le Sénat et prochainement discuté à l'Assemblée Nationale.

Ning's New Deadline for Pay-Only: Aug. 30 ~ Stephen's Web - 0 views

  •  
    "I'm wondering whether Ning isn't beginning to regret the move to pay-only sites. All the Nings with which I am associated have decided to move to other platforms; not one has opted to pay. That may not be surprising. But now I read that Ning is extending its 'select an option' period before shuttering non-compliant sites. And reading between the lines they seem to be drawing a lot of criticism on the Ning Creators Ning"

    "Kaj Sand-Jensen, un professore danese di ecologia, ha scritto un articolo intitolato "How to write consistently boring scientific literature" dove enuncia un decalogo di regole per scrivere articoli scientifici veramente noiosi. In maniera ironica e divertente mostra come una scrittura spersonalizzata possa servire alla fin fine a mascherare un contenuto modesto. Nella conclusione, osserva che ci sono movimenti di scienziati e anche editori che tendono a recuperare il valore di una scrittura più personale e viva. Sostiene inoltre che, sebbene l'articolo scientifico così come lo conosciamo rimarrà il veicolo principale della comunicazione scientifica, è auspicabile che gli scienziati si impegnino maggiormente in una comunicazione più ampia e speculativa, che possa eventualmente anche contemplare humour e poesia. Una comunicazione in grado di far circolare maggiormente le idee fra campi diversi e di attrarre più facilmente i giovani allo studio delle scienze. È un paradosso, ma è vero che la letteratura scientifica predominante, bulimica, ridondante, assolutamente grigia, selezionata con un processo di peer review sempre più affrettato e sommario, costituisce non l'unica ma una notevole causa di scarsa innovazione dando la preferenza ai maggiori e più consolidati filoni di ricerca. Lascio qui sotto l'opportunità di leggere il paper di Kaj Sand-Jensen, ne vale la pena.

    "00:48'12 Well, the proposal is to replace notice-and-take-down with notice-and-termination. We go from a regime where content is removed from a website, to a regime where customers' DSL connection or cable modem connection is severed."

OneWEB.tv » Five Questions With Dennis Lembrée - Creator of Accessible Twitter - 0 views

  •  
    Twitter has changed from being a tool most people thought is simply yet another way for people on the Internet to waste time to a platform for social change, social networking and dare I say it even business. One of the aspects that Twitter has been lacking is an accessible interface to the service. Thankfully Dennis Lembrée is changing all this. Schalk Neethling sat down with Dennis to learn more about Accessible Twitter, the problems he faces in creating it and what the future will hold.

Digital Copyright Slider - Creative Commons - Jane Park, July 17th, 2008 - 0 views

  •  
    Check out the digital copyright slider. The tool itself is pretty simple. You basically slide the arrow up and down the years starting from "Before 1923″. The boxes on the left (Permission Needed? and Copyright Status/Term) tell you whether a work is still copyrighted or whether it's now in the public domain, free for you to use and repurpose any way you like. Unfortunately, actually figuring out the copyright status of a work isn't so simple as dragging your mouse-most of the years seem to be marked by a fuzzy period of "Maybe".

Amazon uses DMCA to restrict where you can buy e-books - MobileRead Forums - Alexander ... - 0 views

  •  
    As some of you may already know, this week we received a DMCA take-down notice from Amazon requesting the removal of the tool kindlepid.py and instructions associated with it. Although we never hosted this tool (contrary to their claim), nor believe that this tool is used to remove technological measures (contrary to their claim), we decided, due to the vagueness of the DMCA law and our intention to remain in good relation with Amazon, to voluntarily follow their request and remove links and detailed instructions related to it.
