Tipp für #ShadowLibrary-Interessierte auf dem #39c3 - Stichwort #CUII
Netzsperren werden in Deutschland von großen Industrieunternehmen direkt ins Werk gesetzt. Es gibt da anscheinend keinen Anspruch an Transparenz oder Anfechtbarkeit. Ich weiß nicht, ob dieser Vortrag darauf eingehen wird, aber eine interessante Prämisse dessen ist ja: wer Forschungsergebnisse oder Kulturgüter am Verwertungssystem vorbei aufbewahrt, darf von Verwertern dabei direkt ausgebremst werden.

39.95€ for a 9 pages long 51 year old computer science paper (Finkel on Quad Trees, 1974).
WHAT A GREAT DEAL.
This is why Alexandra Elbakyan should win a Nobel or a Saviour of Mankind medal or something.

Anna's Archive, a meta-search engine for book piracy sources and shadow libraries, has announced a significant milestone. It has been secretly scraping WorldCat, the world's largest book metadata database, to further its mission of preserving all available books in the world, even if that means being at odds with copyright law. The dataset obtained from WorldCat includes 1.3 billion unique IDs, and Anna's Archive believes this data will help in its goal to map out all the books in the world and create a list of books that still need preservation. This move has not gone unnoticed, and the site has over 12 million monthly visits. However, it also faces legal risks and has stated its mission is worth the potential consequences.

When BigCos™ want to de-legitimize, demonize and outlaw perfectly normal practices, they coin terms like '#Piracy', '#Jaywalking' and '#ShadowLibrary'. Why can't we have similar sinister-sounding words for their abusive practices? Like '#Mugging' for price gouging, '#MassPlunder' for paywalling public-funded research, '#eStalking' for #DRM, '#iLittering' for manufacturing irreparable gadgets, '#Detention' for locking down devices and '#ePickPocketing' for rent-seeking.
