    Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina Bonjour à vous, courageux public du Framablog ! Avec l’épisode d’aujourd’hui et le prochain, qui concluera cette première partie de saison Librologique, je vous propose d’ébaucher le portrait de deux personnalités importantes du monde Libre, parfois complémentaires, parfois opposées. Contrairement à Linus Torvalds ou Richard Stallman avec qui nous avions ouvert ces chroniques, il ne s’agit pas là de programmeurs ni de techniciens, mais d’auteurs : de ces auteurs qui réfléchissent sur leur propre droit — puisque le droit d’auteur, c’est bien conçu pour… les auteurs, non ?

Librologie 8 : Les petits cœurs de tatie Nina « En 1988, à l’âge tendre de 20 ans, je quittai ma ville natale de Urbana, Illinois, pour Santa Cruz en Californie, afin d’y poursuivre le rêve naïf de devenir hippie, new-age et ésotérique. Au lieu de quoi je suis devenue illustratrice et cynique. » C’est ainsi que Nina Paley raconte son histoire, de la banlieue de Chicago (Urbana, dont son père a été un maire courageux) à la Californie — le choix de Santa Cruz n’est pas innocent : indissociable des bouleversements sociaux des années 1960-1970, cette ville correspond bien à l’arrière-plan idéologique de la « Nouvelle Gauche » de cette époque, effectivement liée au mouvement hippie, mais également à l’avènement d’une conception nouvelle des sciences humaines (sociologie, psychiatrie alternative,…). Avec toutefois une tournure moins optimiste dans le cas de Paley : par exemple, elle revendique son choix de ne pas faire d’enfants comme un choix militant ; membre revendiquée duMouvement pour l’Extinction Volontaire de l’Espèce Humaine, sa principale préoccupation politique (tout au moins dans la période 1995-2005) semble être la surpopulation humaine.

    CULTIVATING OPEN INFORMATION PLATFORMS: A LAND TRUST MODEL MOLLY SHAFFER VAN HOUWELING* INTRODUCTION James Boyle has led a recent call for intellectual property “environmentalism”—a movement to fend off perceived threats to the public interest posed by expansions in the scope and term of intellectual property protection.1 Inspired in part by Boyle’s message, a number of organizations have sprung up that aspire to expand and cultivate the body of intellectual works that are not subject to proprietary control.2 The Internet’s original development as a non-proprietary in- formation platform is another source of inspiration for this incip- ient movement.3 The Internet is built on a suite of protocols— * Assistant Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School.

Contact: [email protected] The Walled Gardens of Ebook Surveillance: A Brief Set of Arguments Against DRM in Libraries There are three claims I will make in this article about including electronic books with DRM restrictions in library collections. These arguments center upon what the presence of restricted ebooks signifies to patrons about libraries. The first argument outlines how providing books with DRM encourages library users to adopt low expectations for how their personal information will be shared and collected. Second, when users encounter DRM within library collections, not only are they frustrated by the ways that these systems restrict their use of a text, but they become more broadly disappointed in their library. Finally, I will show how the current technological landscape that allows third party surveillance via DRM threatens the professional standing of librarians as protectors of patron information. What is DRM? To me, DRM stands for Digital Restrictions Management. But choosing to call it such is a political choice.1 Others refer to DRM as Digital Rights Management. In a nutshell, DRM controls access to digital content and restricts the functionality a devices, such as an ebook reader or computer.

  • Anarchism Triumphant: Free Software and the Death of Copyright
    Anarchism Triumphant: Free Software and the Death of Copyright Eben Moglen£ May 17, 1999 I Software as Property: The Theoretical Paradox SOFTWARE: no other word so thoroughly connotes the practical and social effects of the digital revolution. Originally, the term was purely tech- nical, and denoted the parts of a computer system that, unlike “hardware,” which was unchangeably manufactured in system electronics, could be al- tered freely. The first software amounted to the plug configuration of ca- bles or switches on the outside panels of an electronic device, but as soonas linguistic means of altering computer behavior had been developed, “soft- ware” mostly denoted the expressions in more or less human-readable lan- guage that both described and controlled machine behavior.1 £ Professor of Law & Legal History, Columbia Law School. Prepared for delivery at the Buchmann International Conference on Law, Technology and Information, at Tel Aviv Uni- versity, May 1999; my thanks to the organizers for their kind invitation. I owe much as always to Pamela Karlan for her insight and encouragement. Thanks are due to Jerome Saltzer, Richard Stallman, and numerous others who freely contributed corrections and im- povements to this paper. I especially wish to thank the programmers throughout the world who made free software possible. 1The distinction was only approximate in its original context. By the late 1960s cer- tain portions of the basic operation of hardware were controlled by programs digitally en- coded in the electronics of computer equipment, not subject to change after the units left the factory. Such symbolic but unmodifiable components were known in the trade as “mi- crocode,” but it became conventional to refer to them as “firmware.” Softness, the term “firmware” demonstrated, referred primarily to users’ ability to alter symbols determining machine behavior.

One impressive campaign is December 18th4: at the motto of FREE THE SHMINISTIM“ young conscious objectors (among them also the daughter of a former deputy head of Mossad) stepped forward and refused to serve the omnipresent militarization of Israel, the country where they are born and that still forces them to serve IDF for 2 to 3 years. Since 20 years now (and finally) we had abolition of coercive military service for youth in Europe: this is definitely one of the most important political standpoints for Israel to work on, if it intends to get closer to Europe.
