@wackJackle I wo. Die ›Innovation‹ von Jeff Penis und Co sieht so aus:

Polecam zredagowaną wersję prelekcji Cory'ego Doctorowa z DEF CON:

Z Corym Doctorowem pierwszy raz zetknąłem się dzięki jego powieści pt. "Mały brat", którą często rekomendowałem osobom zainteresowanym dystopiami. Doctorowa cenię jednak najbardziej nie za beletrystykę, a za literaturę faktu i aktywizm. Szczególnie polecam książkę, którą napisał z Rebeccą Giblin, czyli "Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back".

@oneiros Vergiss nicht, dass wir in einem Land leben, das sich den (wie ich finde durchaus berechtigten) Kulturluxus der Buchpreisbindung gönnt;

und: Jeff ›Penisrakete‹ Bezos hat in Vulgärkapitalistenmanier die Preisvorstellung der Verbraucher für Bücher nachhaltig verzerrt.

War früher ähnlich ausm Bauch raus empört über eBook-Preise die fast Feststroff-Preisen entsprechen, aber ich hab mich informiert.

»#ChokepointCapitalism« von #RebeccaGiblin und #CoryDoctorow zeigt es schön.

Creatives: Would you like to better understand why writers & authors (+ musicians and artists) are being squeezed? The impact Amazon has had on the publishing industry, the chequered history of DRM, the dirt on copyright? How about 'how news got broken', 'why streaming doesn't pay' & what people in the creative industries can actually do about the current state of affairs? Highly recommend Choke Point Capitalism (by Rebecca Giblin & Cory Doctorow) as a read. Please ask your local library to get it in too so more people can have access.

#AmReading #ChokepointCapitalism by @pluralistic & #RebeccaGiblin.
A riveting look at how black-hole corporations like #Amazon, #Apple, #Google, #Facebook, & #Netflix dominate culture, exploit creators, crush competitors, & keep a stranglehold on audiences. These behemoths suck up money & power with a ruthlessness that makes old-style robber barons look like small-time pilferers.
Relevant wrt the #WGA #SAGAFTRA strike.

Hey, #Berkeley! I'm appearing again today at #BayBookFest with #WendyLiu (Abolish Silicon Valley) at 11AM at Freight and Salvage to discuss "Chokepoint Capitalism," the book #RebeccaGiblin and I wrote about #monopoly and creative #labor markets. It's free!

In this stunning #keynote from #EverythingOpen, Professor #RebeccaGiblin from #UniMelb takes us on a tour of #ChokePointCapitalism - her new book with @doctorow - showing how #BigTech has place chokeholds on the work of #artists and #creators, and how the #OpenSource ethos can help.

In this piece for #WIRED, @stokel outlines how Twitter and Melon Usk intend to charge $USD 42k per month and upwards to access #research #data via the platform's #API - putting it out of reach of most researchers and #universities

An example of #ChokePointCapitalism (per @docotorow and #RebeccaGiblin #rgibli?

Frankly, I'm surprised at this approach to market. I thought Twitter would have approached the journal publishers instead, and got them to paywall Twitter through their existing university subscriptions.

In this episode, I play a song by Doctor Deathray; for once I had time to do the show and no mojo to do one; I always predicted that my golden years would be on fire; talking to people seems harder than it used to; we went to a murder mystery dinner; grampa is making life so much harder than it needs to be; it sure seems like publishers are bad at business including publishing; Nathan Lowell’s podcast is back; Nate only reads indie published books; can we agree that Bean Dad was the most harmless internet flareup?; I don’t care about the McElroys or Maximum Fun; the American left is great at policing the people who aren’t lefting the way they like; Warren Ellis seems to have crafted a second act.

I like having proper attribution for quotes that I use. First, because my professors drilled into me the importance of proper PUBLIC attribution so much that it's second nature to me now, and second, because if someone has said one thing I find interesting/useful, odds are they've said others, so I want to be able to find them.

I was pleased in reading Chokepoint Capitalism (#CoryDoctorow and #RebeccaGiblin) to learn that "A fine is a price" is attributed to Uri Gneezy and Aldo Rustichini.
