Walled Culture the book, three years on

Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

"Trust and Integrity: A Research Imperative." A joint statement from the Association of Research Libraries (#ARL), International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers (#STM), Association of College and Research Libraries (#ACRL), Society for Scholarly Publishing (#SSP), and Association of University Presses (#AUPresses).

(Yes, it's rare to see #libraries and #publishers issue joint statements.)

"This year has brought unprecedented challenges to the U.S. research enterprise – sweeping federal funding cuts, capricious reductions in the federal workforce, and destabilizing attacks on universities, laboratories, and federal research agencies…In response to these challenges, we believe in and support: Public investment in basic science and the humanities…The need for broad access to validated, trusted information…Protecting and advancing freedom of speech…and ensuring research and scholarship remain free from political interference."

MIT Press: A note on LibGen and the unauthorized use of our authors’ work. “We want to be clear: The MIT Press has not licensed any of our books or journal articles for LLM training purposes, nor have we granted permission for any such use. However, we are well aware that many MIT Press publications have ended up in pirated training data sets. We share the deep distress of our authors whose […]

The truth about copyright: even successful authors can’t live on the royalties publishers pay them

Copyright is built on a lie that most people seem to accept: artists can make a decent living from the current system of rewards that copyright provides. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) explores, all the data about artist remuneration shows that isn’t true. Alongside such dry statistics, it’s good to hear about the personal experiences of creators, and I […]

Leo Lo (president-elect of #ACRL) sketches a risk to #OpenAccess:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/news-corp-openais-partnership-implications-publishing-leo-lo-hbh8c

"#AI partnerships [with #publishers] could lead to new revenue models where publishers monetize their content through licensing agreements with tech companies…If AI providers see value in having privileged access to certain datasets or publications, they may seek to establish exclusive licensing agreements with publishers."

Update. The statement is now on the #HarvardLibrary website.
https://library.harvard.edu/about/news/2023-03-03/iplc-letter-office-science-technology-policy

Another excerpt: "We want to highlight the dangers of allowing the interests of commercial #publishers to dictate the paths available to [#OpenAccess]…We refer here to the…#APC (article processing charge)…and/or institutional #ReadAndPublish agreements where libraries pay bulk APCs on behalf of their scholars and unlock institutional access to read pay-walled content."

Genau das. 👇🔥👍

"#Google has added to its online #advertising tools for years. Its $3.1 billion purchase in 2007 of #DoubleClick, a maker of #ad tools, amplified the reach of its already powerful digital advertising machine. DoubleClick gave Google a crucial role on the internet, providing a #marketplace for #publishers and letting Google host more #ads on sites across the web."
