			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Propecia cost</b>, I have been negligent in not commenting on the Harvard Book Store's marvelous print-on-demand engine, dubbed <a href="http://www.harvard.com/bookmachine/. ">Paige N. Gutenborg</a>. For those of you in the area, the store is right across Massachusetts Avenue from Harvard Yard, <b>Utah UT</b>, and the press is right ¬†on the main floor -- just keep walking straight ahead to the back of the store. In a few minutes, you can have any public domain book printed that is available via Google Books. Some copyrighted works are available too, but the big buzz is over the access to copies of old books, many in foreign languages, of which only a few libraries may have copies, <b>propecia cost</b>.  <b>Propecia australia</b>, What you get is just what you want -- a printed book, on good paper, bound and trimmed, and with a full-color soft cover in the original design. The machine prints, <b>buy cheap propecia</b>, binds, and trims, in only a few minutes.  <b>Propecia online pharmacy</b>, And for only $8 per book.</p>
<p>While I was watching this process a couple of days ago, the book being printed was an old French text -- a professor had ordered copies for his class.  <b>Propecia cost</b>, A nearby shelf has a variety of other samples.</p>
<p>The first book printed on this press was a copy of the first book printed in North America -- the 1640 hymnal, <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trm004.html">The Bay Psalm Book</a>, <b>Wyoming WY Wyo.</b>. In a wonderful loop of history, it had been printed in Cambridge, only steps from where the Harvard Book Store printed the copy 369 years later.  <b>Order propecia online cheap</b>, Paige is fascinating to watch. Even more than its (her?) marvelous automation, it is simply energizing to witness the bits, coming from heaven knows where, becoming atoms in front of your eyes, <b>Tennessee TN Tenn.</b>. The imagination runs wild, <b>propecia cost</b>. Maybe, if I ever move, I'll just throw all my books out and have new copies printed of anything I discover I actually want.  <b>Propecia in aldershot</b>, I can't find half the books I own anyway. If you don't like that fantasy, come up with a better one of your own.</p>
<p>I have to congratulate Jeff Mayersohn, the president of the store, <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>.  <b>Propecia cost</b>, He has seen independent book stores die, one after the next. Even the Harvard Book Store, which offers outstanding service and a knowledgeable staff and is operating in a book-loving community if any such still exists, must have felt threatened.  <b>Ordering propecia overnight delivery</b>, He's decided to make the technology work for him rather than kill him. Good for him and good for the store. I wish them the best.</p>
<p>Bonus for those of you able to drop in: the trimmed edges are there for the taking. They are bound booklets of blank pages, an inch or so tall and six or eight inches wide. Kids can create their own books by writing or drawing on the pages. How neat is that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://diybookscanner.org/BookScanner_1.jpg" alt="" width="465" height="695" /></p><br />
I am just back from <a href="http://www.nyls.edu/centers/harlan_scholar_centers/institute_for_information_law_and_policy/events/d_is_for_digitize">D is for Digitize</a> <b>Cialis alternative</b>, , James Grimmelmann's conference on the Google Books Settlement at the New York Law School, where he teaches. It was an excellent meeting, about which I will report more in a followup post. But there was one clear star in the day-and-a-half of panels, each with four or five speakers. The prize goes to Daniel Reetz of <a href="http://diybookscanner.org/">DIYBookScanner.org</a> -- that is, <b>Cialis en ligne afin</b>, Do It Yourself Book Scanner. Reetz, a book freak and mechanical genius, figured out how to make a book scanner out of stuff you can find in dumpsters, or buy cheaply, including off-the-shelf, cheap digital camers, <b>comprar cialis de descuento</b>. <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-High-Speed-Book-Scanner-from-Trash-and-Cheap-C/">He has put the instructions online</a> so we can all build our own, <b>cialis alternative</b>. It's amazing to see -- Reetz demonstrated it, and then in just a few minutes folded it up and put it into a bag small enough to take on an airplane. It works fast -- and it's really well designed. The slowest part is turning the pages, which you do by hand.  <b>Wisconsin WI Wis.</b>, This is the equivalent for books of the tape recorder for music and the VCR for movies.  <b>Cialis alternative</b>, We can all digitize our own books and throw them away now.</p>
<p>Or make them publicly available. I said "can," not "may" or "should." But the existence of the device has the potential to raise lots of the same kinds of questions those other duplicating technologies raised. It empowers individuals, and enough empowered individuals could produce a Wikipedian digital library, collectively assembled, <b>buy cialis delivery</b>, imperfect and incomplete, but growing and expanding.</p>
<p>While everyone else at the conference was ruminating about whether Google had a library monopoly or whether Amazon or Microsoft might imaginably be able to compete, along comes this dude with his Rube Goldberg contraption and says, hey, <b>Buy cialis online</b>, let's all just start doing it, and we'll catch up eventually.</p>
<p>Astonishing idea, <b>cialis alternative</b>. At the conference, it took about thirty seconds for an author to ask Daniel why he should ever write another book, since the first person who bought it could instantly make it available to the entire world. Of course, Daniel replied something like what he has on the Web:<br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I¬†love books, <b>order cialis online without prescription</b>. There is some truly fantastic knowledge and information hidden out there in hard to find, rare, and not commercially viable books. I find that I want my books with me everywhere.  <b>Cialis alternative</b>, But that's where the problems begin. Buying, <b>Buy generic cialis</b>, moving, storing, and preserving books means environmental costs... and when I loan a book to a friend, I no longer have access to it.</p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Digital books change the landscape . After suffering through scanning many of my old, rare, <b>ordering cialis without prescription</b>, and government issue books, I decided to create a book scanner that anybody could make, for around $300. And that's what this instructable is all about.  A greener future with more books rather than fewer books, <b>cialis alternative</b>. More access to information, <b>Ordering cialis online without prescription</b>, rather than less access to information. And maybe, years from now, a reformed publishing/distribution model (but I'm not holding my breath...).</p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"></p><br />
Check it out. And if Daniel comes to a show near you, go see him. He's cool in the way many a game-changing techologist has been cool, <b>is cialis legal in thailand</b>.</p>
<p>Added October 11: I've received two interesting pointers since posting the above. First, <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/library/2009/04/the_granting_of_patent_7508978.html">an account of how Google's scanner works</a>; and second, a pointer to Snapster, <a href="http://snapter.atiz.com/">commercial software for using your digital camera as a cocument scanner</a>. The point is that there are a lot of things that are possible in this space, in mechanical design, image analysis, and coding, and it's going to be interesting to see if Reetz can build a open community around his scanner, contributing both engineering and content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Cost of levitra</b>, Andrew Magliozzi, who graduated from Harvard College in 2006, runs the <a href="http://FinalsClub.org">FinalsClub.org</a> website. It hosts lecture notes and study groups for Harvard courses. At the moment you can get the nickel precis of Harvard librarian and history professor Robert Darnton's course on the history of the book, as written up, lecture by lecture, by a pseudonymous note taker.</p>
<p>The Arlington Advocate has <a href="http://www.wickedlocal.com/arlington/news/x1789526991/Former-Arlington-High-School-student-challenges-Harvard-University?popular=true">a good story</a> about the site, motivated by the fact that Magliozzi is a graduate of the Arlington (MA) high school, <b>where to buy cheap levitra</b>. (He also happens to be the son of Ray Magliozzi of¬†<a href="http://www.cartalk.com/">Car Talk</a> fame.) Magliozzi portrays the site as a nonprofit devoted to open access education.</p>
<p>Problem is, there's an argument that what professors say in class is their intellectual property, <b>cost of levitra</b>. After all, if they just read their own lecture notes, then their words have been "fixed in a tangible medium," to quote the Copyright Act. So the professor automatically holds the copyright, <b>Buy levitra cod</b>, and Magliozzi, or his note-taking helpers, are violating it. By that logic, it's the same thing as listening to a song being sung, transcribing it, and posting the notes and lyrics on your web site. Copyright violation, <b>online levitra</b>.  <b>Cost of levitra</b>, Magliozzi, according to the Arlington Advocate story, seems to be counting on leniency because his site is a non-profit.</p>
<p>Harvard has not been helpful to Mr. Magliozzi. According to<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=526597"> a Crimson story from February</a>, the university's Office of the General Counsel informed him that "under the federal Copyright Act of 1976, a lecture is automatically copyrighted as long as the professor prepared some tangible expression of the content‚Äînotes, an outline, <b>Vermont VT Vt.</b>, a script, a video or audio recording."</p>
<p>This all reminds me a bit of the birth of Facebook. There was discussion within the Harvard administration and information technology office of a project to create an online version of the printed facebooks that Harvard had had for decades. By the time the discussions had advanced very far, some students had just gone ahead and created one, <b>cost of levitra</b>.</p>
<p>It is the sort of wrinkle in the law and technological evolution that will keep lawyers and programmers both busy for several years. Follow the logic a little further and you get where the University of Texas is, <a href="http://www.utsystem.edu/ogc/intellectualproperty/lectures.htm">advising its faculty thus</a>:</p>
<p><!--StartFragment--><br />
<h3 style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #993333;">Licensing Students to Create a Derivative Work</span></h3><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn.</b>, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many students probably create a work that would infringe a faculty member's copyright, that is, they base their notes on and incorporate her particular expression rather than just state facts and ideas she articulates in more detail. Faculty members have always permitted this kind of activity without actually talking about it. They "implicitly" license students to create a "derivative work" from the lecture.  <b>Cost of levitra</b>, The license is implied through academic tradition -- students are expected to take notes.  <b>Levitra pills</b>, Now faculty may wish to make the implied license explicit and add some restrictions. Written and verbal instructions at the beginning of class could look something like this:</span></p></p>
<p><blockquote style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"My lectures are protected by state common law and federal copyright law. They are my own original expression and I record them at the same time that I deliver them in order to secure protection. Whereas you are authorized to take notes in class thereby creating a derivative work from my lecture, the authorization extends only to making one set of notes for your own personal use and no other use. You are not authorized to record my lectures, to provide your notes to anyone else or to make any commercial use of them without express prior permission from me."</span></blockquote><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A limited license to take notes could be very important to protecting the intellectual content of lecture materials that embody the faculty member's unfixed lecture and unpublished research, among other things.</p><br />
<!--EndFragment--></p>
<p>Doesn't sound much like a temple of the free exchange of ideas, <b>cost of levitra</b>.</p>
<p>At least a few of us at Harvard are going to the opposite extreme, <b>Rabatt kaufen levitra</b>. In a project being mounted in honor of the centennial of the Harvard Extension School, several of Harvard's popular courses, including my own Bits course, will be, in large measure, given away free.  <b>Kansas KS Kans.</b>, (The Dean of Continuing Education, Michael Shinagel, announced this at the Centennial Convocation on Friday, September 25. Stay tuned for more details.)</p>
<p>One final note.  <b>Cost of levitra</b>, As the Advocate notes, the FinalsClub site is named after Harvard's old social clubs, which are called Final Clubs, because there once were Waiting Clubs for freshmen and sophomores while they waited to become members of the Final Clubs. "Finals" in Harvard lingo are the 3-hour final examinations in courses, and since more students talk about exams than clubs, over the years "Final Clubs" have come to be known as "Finals Clubs, <b>Minnesota MN Minn.</b>," as though they were clubs for exam preparation. Now we have a FinalsClub site which legitimately could be thought of as an exam-preparation aid. There--I've said it. Perhaps, now fixed in a tangible medium, the etymological history will be remembered.  <b>Billiga levitra apotek</b>, Addendum: Here is an example that explains how odd it seems for professors to be exercising intellectual property rights over students' notes of their lectures. The original note-taker was Plato. Without him, the teachings of Socrates might not have survived, and Western philosophy might have been a very different animal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <!--StartFragment--><span> <b>Xenical tablet</b>, I have blogged several times about the Google Book Settlement (type "settlement" into the search window to bring up the posts). To be brief: Google started scanning books, including copyrighted works; organizations representing authors and publishers of copyrighted books sued Google for copyright infringement; the three parties have worked out their differences behind closed doors, producing a very long settlement agreement, which is now public; the matter now sits on the desk of a federal judge, Denny Chin, who must either approve or disapprove the settlement document (he cannot edit it). Because it is a class action lawsuit, members of the class are invited to tell Judge Chin what they think. The deadline for that is today. A number of objections have been filed; it appears that a group of distinguished authors and academics, including Jacques Barzun, <b>Oregon OR Ore.</b>, Harold Bloom, and Harvard colleagues Steven Ozment, Mary Ann Glendon, and Ruth Wisse is also planning to file (pdf of notice <a href="http://thepublicindex.org/docs/attorney/hall_appearance_2.pdf">here</a>). </span></p>
<p>(There are other legal strategies for opposing the settlement, <b>xenical tablet</b>. <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/08/microsoft-amazon-join-opposition-to-google-books-settlement.ars">Microsoft, Yahoo, and Amazon are all lobbying the Department of Justice</a> to oppose the Settlement, on anti-trust grounds. Amusing as it is to see Microsoft warning about the possibility of another company becoming a monopoly, it is quite correct in that fear.)</p>
<p>I am grateful to Lewis Hyde for permission to reproduce his eloquent objection immediately below.  <b>Indiana IN Ind.</b>, I have filed a brief objection myself, which I include below Lewis's.</p>
<p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The Honorable Denny Chin<br />

<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="right"><em>August 31, 2009</em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Dear Judge Chin:</em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I write to object to some of the terms of the settlement that has been proposed by the litigants in Case No. 05 CV 8136, The Authors Guild, Inc., et al. v, <b>ordering xenical online cheap</b>. Google Inc. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I am a member of the Author Sub-Class in this lawsuit.¬† The University of Michigan library lists eight books of mine that we may assume were digitized by Google in the course of their creation of Google Book Search.¬† These include The Gift (Random House, 1983), This Error is the Sign of Love (Milkweed Editions, 1988), and Trickster Makes this World (Farrar, Straus, 1998), <b>xenical tablet</b>. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>As an author I am also a reader, a user of libraries, and a beneficiary of the public domain.¬† I say this because I believe that the settlement in question amounts to a major intervention in our national cultural policy, one that will affect the U.S. knowledge ecology for generations to come.¬† It therefore should not be adjudicated upon the assumption that we authors (and our publishers) are rights holders only.¬† We are cultural citizens as well; our copyrights matter to us, but so do larger questions of how literature and knowledge circulate among us. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>It is my understanding that courts hold fairness hearings in class action law suits in order to determine whether all members of the class find the proposed settlement fair, adequate and reasonable.¬† While I applaud many of the elements of the settlement in question, I am nonetheless troubled by several others.¬† To be specific: </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>*¬† I object to the settlement's proposed capture of income from orphan works.¬† I can think of nothing in the history of copyright law, <b>Buy xenical online legally</b>, or in the law as currently written, that would countenance such a taking.¬† As a 1988 House of Representatives Report stated clearly: </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Under the U.S. Constitution, the primary objective of copyright law is not to reward the author, but rather to secure for the public the benefits derived from the author's labors.¬† By giving authors an incentive to create, the public benefits in two ways:¬† when the original expression is created and...when the limited term...  <b>Xenical tablet</b>, expires and the creation is added to the public domain. [H.R. Rep. No. 100-609 at 17] </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>In no instance are third parties meant to benefit, as the settlement would allow.¬† The primary beneficiary of a copyright grant is the author and, as copyright expert Melville Nimmer once wrote, <b>ordering xenical online</b>, "the ultimate beneficiary is the public domain." [Nimmer on Copyright III at 13]¬† To allow other parties to intervene between the author and the public would be like allowing an executor to drain an estate before distributing it to the rightful heirs. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>The settling parties must therefore find some better way to dispose of the unclaimed funds that accrue from orphan works.¬† My own suggestion would be for the court to appoint a guardian or trustee charged not just with the task of representing absent owners but with a mandate to do so in the light of copyright's traditional double focus:¬† rights holders must be given their due and, where no rights holder can be found, the public domain must be the beneficiary, <b>xenical tablet</b>. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>*¬† I object to the monopoly powers that Google and the Books Rights Registry will acquire, should the court approve the orphan works elements of the settlement.¬† Approving the settlement as it stands will in essence grant the settling parties a compulsory license enabling them to exploit the commercial value of orphan works.¬† Because of the unique nature of class action litigation it will be virtually impossible for any other digital library or search service to receive such an exemption.¬† Google will thus be in a position to monopolize this important part of our emerging knowledge economy. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Again, history makes it clear we should be wary of such broad powers in regard to the circulation of knowledge.¬† Copyright has long been classified as a monopoly privilege and in the context of expression, as Lord Macaulay famously said, "...monopoly is an evil.¬† For the sake of the good we must submit to the evil; but the evil ought not to last a day longer than is necessary for the purpose of securing the good." [Misc. Works (1880) at 233] </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>In our own tradition, as you may know, Thomas Jefferson believed that the Constitution ought to have prohibited monopolies in general and, <b>Xenical c.o.d.</b>, if an exception were to be made for copyright, believed that it should be strictly limited.¬† In a letter to James Madison dated 28 August 1789 Jefferson suggested the following addition to the Bill of Rights:¬† "Monopolies may be allowed to persons for their own productions in literature..., for a term not exceeding ‚Äì‚Äì years, but for no longer term, and no other purpose."¬† (As for the term, Jefferson's usual suggestion was 19 years.) </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>In short, monopoly privileges in the world of public expression have been viewed with extreme skepticism ever since the first appearance of a public sphere in the eighteenth century.¬† It would be dangerous indeed to grant them now to the private parties who propose this settlement. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>*¬† Finally, I object to the fact that no representative of libraries or of the public interest will be a voting member of the board of directors of the Books Rights Registry.¬† The Registry promises to be an important player in the nation's cultural environment; if it is called into existence, its directors must represent the users as well as the owners of proprietary content.  </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> <b>Xenical tablet</b>, In sum, while I support many elements of the settlement as currently drafted, in regard to the items I have here listed I do not consider it to be fair and reasonable.¬† I urge you to take these issues into account as you approach the difficult task of deciding whether or not to approve the settlement. </em><em></em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Yours sincerely,</em><em></em></p><br />

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em> </em></p><br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>While I support many aspects of the proposed settlement, I object to the proposed settlement because it threatens to create an unregulated digital book monopoly.  <b>Xenical tablet</b>, Specifically, it would grant to Google and the Books Rights Registry legal license to profit from orphan works (copyrighted works whose rights holders are unknown, and who therefore cannot set what the proposed settlement refers to as a ‚ÄúSpecified Price‚Äù).

In other commercial domains where monopolies have arisen (electric power and telecommunications, for example), some public body has overseen the pricing structure. It would be unfair for the Court to sanction the creation of a private information monopoly, in which Google could, without fear of competition or regulation, fix prices for works to which it does not hold rights.</em><em></em></p><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> That is thee title of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pamela-samuelson/the-audacity-of-the-googl_b_255490.html">a superb column by Pamela Samuelson</a> <b>Pharmacy xenical</b>, explaining some (but only some) of the worries about the proposed settlement of copyright infringement claims against Google for scanning copyrighted works.  <b>Cheap xenical bars</b>, She explains the perverse incentives to both parties to this litigation.

<p>It may not matter, if the Department of Justice decides <a href="http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20090702/doj-officially-opens-antitrust-investigation-into-google-book-settlement/">the settlement has serious anti-trust implications</a>, as it certainly seems to.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Price of meridia</b>, Hard on the heels of Amazon reaching into the homes of Kindle owners and snatching copies of Orwell's 1984 off their devices, we have a stunning reminder that Apple's iPhone is also a tethered device, and nothing goes on it that Mother Apple doesn't want on it. Application developers have to go through a certification process to get their apps approved for the iPhone, and among the standards applied by the certification team are prohibitions on obscene and pornographic material, <b>Michigan MI Mich.</b>. On that basis, <b>Meridia cheap</b>, <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2009/08/ninjawords">Apple refused to certify the Ninjawords dictionary</a> until the developer removed words such as "shit" and "fuck" that appear in every standard dictionary of the English language. John Gruber, the author of the linked-to post, <b>Georgia GA Ga.</b>, points out that some of the banned words appear in the King James bible, <b>Meridia ablets</b>, and some, such as "ass," "cock, <b>cheapest meridia</b>," and "screw, <b>Billige meridia Apotheke</b>, " have inoffensive meanings which are equally unavailable to the iPhone users of the dictionary. Even after the developers scrubbed every word that had a sexual meaning, Apple insisted that the dictionary carry an "age 17 and over" classification, <b>Tennessee TN Tenn.</b>.</p>
<p>No unexpurgated dictionary on the iPhone.  <b>Cheap meridia overnight delivery</b>, No dictionary at all for 16 year olds, lest they find a word with sexual connotations. I've been thinking about getting one, <b>Iowa IA</b>, but this is too much, <b>Meridia pills</b>, no matter how neat they are. We don't want our consumer electronics suppliers to be the arbiters of public morality, because in 21st century America the least common denominator will be down somewhere near the level of Saudi Arabia.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/26/copyfraud/">The Register has a fascinating report</a> <b>Levitra pharmacy</b>, on a new phenomenon, arising from the conjunction of stiff copyright laws and the zero-cost copying those laws were meant to combat, insofar as the works copied were under copyright. People are making copies of works in the public domain and slapping their own copyright notice on them, and then charging money for them.  <b>Arkansas AR Ark.</b>, The article describes the use of this technique for some 19th century Japanese books. But why would anyone pay for them when they are in the public domain. Because it may be safer to do so rather than run the risk that you are wrong about the claimed copyright ownership. This scam hits universities hard, because they have proved to be attractive targets for copyright lawsuits and are likely to err on the side of paying (or, to be specific, having their students pay), <b>levitra pharmacy</b>.</p>
<p>But what could be the business model for the scammers, <b>cheap generic levitra</b>. After all, what if they publish books and no one buys them.  <b>Levitra brand</b>, No problem -- they issue the books as print-on-demand volumes through Booksurge. They have no costs until the first copy gets ordered.  <b>Levitra pharmacy</b>, There is not much incentive for Amazon (which owns Booksurge)_ to crack down.</p>
<p>We blogged awhile back about the Obama administration's misunderstanding of the fact that White House photos are in the public domain (<a href="http://www.bitsbook.com/2009/04/the-white-house-confused-photostream/">The White House Confused PhotoStream</a>). No scam intended there, <b>availability of levitra in pakistan</b>, to be sure, but it's an indicator of how the public domain will continue to get restricted if people don't fight back.  <b>Comprar levitra de descuento</b>, Oddly, Creative Commons (under which Blown to Bits is licensed for free download on this site) is now getting into the act, apparently on the wrong side.As the Register reports,<br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Now Creative Commons seeks expanded authority to administer the Public Domain, <b>levitra en ligne afin</b>, by issuing a "</em><a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/" target="_blank"><em>Creative Commons Public Domain License</em></a><em>," as if it was a sublicense of its own invention.  <b>Viager same levitra</b>, Creative Commons is trying to expand its licensing authority over not just newly created works, but all public domain works.</em></p><br />
Very odd.  I hope someone will correct the Register, if they have the story wrong, or correct Creative Commons, if it's right, <b>levitra pharmacy</b>.</p>
<p>Added June 29: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/15526">Creative Commons says the Register is wrong</a>. CC says, <b>North Dakota ND</b>,<br />
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">C<em>reative Commons does not have any ‚Äúauthority to administer‚Äù the public domain, whatever that means.  <b>Um levitra online</b>, Our </em><a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/"><em>public domain tools</em></a><em> are not licenses ‚Äî there is no ‚ÄúCreative Commons Public Domain License‚Äù. CC0 is a waiver that allows a copyright holder, to the extent possible, to release all restrictions on a copyrighted work worldwide, <b>παραγγείλετε online levitra</b>. The Public Domain Certification facilitates clearly marking works already in the public domain as such. We also don‚Äôt have ‚Äúlicensing authority‚Äù over newly created works.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Discount tramadol</b>, The discussions about how the Google Book settlement proposes to handle orphan works have expanded.  <b>Where to buy tramadol</b>, A small group of which I am a member have <a href="http://www.bitsbook.com/2009/04/in-which-we-seek-to-intervene-in-the-google-books-settlement/">formally sought to intervene</a>. <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/14308286/Internet-Archive-Intervention-Google-Book-Search-">So has the Internet Archive</a>, <b>order tramadol overnight delivery</b>.  <b>Acquistare online tramadol</b>, Today the NYT Bits Blog has <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/opposition-to-google-books-settlement/">a brief explanation</a>, and some good commentary, <b>købe tramadol online</b>.  <b>Order tramadol no rx</b>, There have also been three articles that take up the settlement in a more serious way:</p>
<p>Randy Picker, "<a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1387582">The Google Book Search Settlement: A New Orphan-works Monopoly?</a>" Picker is an anti-trust lawyer, <b>South Carolina SC S.C.</b>.  It's a longish paper (though not by law review standards), but the first few pages provide a good summary, <b>discount tramadol</b>.  <b>Buy tramadol overnight delivery</b>, Pamela Samuelson: "<a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/04/legally-speaking-the-dead-soul.html">Legally Speaking: The Dead Souls of the Google Book Settlement</a>." An excellent, clear, <b>order tramadol online cheap</b>, <b>Nombres para tramadols en frances</b>, short critique of the settlement. Easy to read for the layperson, <b>Washington WA Wash.</b>, highly recommended. This will be Samuelson's column in the July issue of the Communications of the ACM.</p>
<p>James Grimmelmann, "<a href="http://www.acslaw.org/files/Grimmelmann%20Issue%20Brief.pdf">The Google Book Settlement: Ends, Means, and the Future of Books" </a>(pdf, 17 pages). An issues brief, thoughtful and analytical and complete.</p>
<p>I urge anyone interested to read the Samuelson piece in particular.</p>
