Podcast appearances and mentions of Brewster Kahle

What is the purpose of libraries in the era of the internet and AI? Whether at a school or in a community, libraries used to be key providers of information and enjoyment for many. But now, in a digital age, more books and periodicals are available online than even the biggest library can hold. If terabytes of text can now be stored on a single laptop, do we need to think differently about the way we access and navigate books? Could well-designed AI tools be trusted to make sense of this information abundance in a similar way that a good librarian can?Rajan Datar discusses the past, present and future of libraries with Randa Chidiac, Director of Library Services at the American University in Dubai; Dr. Andrew Hui, Head of Literature Studies at Yale-NUS College in Singapore; and Brewster Kahle, computer engineer and digital librarian, founder of the Internet Archive and Wayback Machine.

Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine, is this month’s guest on Tidings. Not only was he present at what he calls “the trailing edge of the hippies” of the Internet’s birth, but his participation continues deep within the ethos shaping the Creative Commons, Public Domain, open source technology and Wikipedia […] The post Brewster Kahle: The Internet in Transition appeared first on Hazel Kahan.

Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, housed in a former San Francisco church with Greek columns that echo the ancient Library of Alexandria, discusses his three-decade mission to preserve humanity's digital knowledge and culture. Now facing unprecedented challenges, including a major cyberattack and legal battles with publishers over the site's distribution of copyrighted materials, Kahle reflects on the growing threats to digital preservation while reaffirming his commitment to universal access to all knowledge. We begin the year by looking back. 

Send us a textCan copyright laws coexist with digital lending in libraries? Join us as librarians Jay and Justin offer their expert insights into the controversies surrounding the Internet Archive and its bold approach to controlled digital lending. The episode unravels the chilling effects of legal challenges on library innovation and casts a critical eye on the self-presentation of Brewster Kahle, the Internet Archive's founder, as a hero battling publishing giants. We engage with the complexities of copyright in the digital age and the intricate balance between market harm and increased accessibility.The episode further examines the daunting challenges libraries face with eBook licensing and the financial strain of maintaining digital collections. We explore how expensive fees and vendor restrictions limit access to digital content, especially for educational institutions. Our conversation brings to light the broader implications for digital preservation amid technological evolution, and how copyright laws influence these efforts. From the selective nature of digital archiving to the existential threat of data decay, this discussion provides a comprehensive look at the hurdles in safeguarding digital heritage.Authors Corey Doctorow and Chuck Tingle join us to share their perspectives on the impact of copyright on creators and the pressing issues of book bans and digital accessibility. We delve into the financial and administrative challenges libraries encounter, like the loss of internal expertise due to outsourcing. The episode closes with a call for international cooperation to preserve open access and the universality of science, with personal experiences underscoring the precarious nature of digital content ownership. Tune in for an enlightening exploration of the future of libraries and digital content in a complex, ever-evolving landscape.

Could the future of libraries as we've known them be completely different? Our guests this week say so. Megapublishers are suing the Internet Archive, perhaps best known for its Wayback Machine, to redefine e-books as legally different from paper books. A difference in how they are classified would mean sweeping changes for the way libraries operate. Brewster Kahle is a digital librarian at the Internet Archive. Kyle Courtney is a lawyer, librarian, director of copyright and information policy for Harvard Library. He's the co-founder of Library Futures, which aims to empower the digital future for America's libraries. They join to discuss what's animating the lawsuit, information as a public good and the consequences should the publishers ultimately prevail.

Today's guest is Tamiko Thiel – lead product designer of The Connection Machine – a revolutionary massively parallel artificial intelligence supercomputer which was developed in the 1980s. Originally conceived by Danny Hillis from MIT's artificial intelligence lab where he was studying under Marvin Minsky, Danny got an incredibly talented team together including Richard Feynman, Brewster Kale, Tamiko, and others to create what would become the fastest and most effective supercomputer of the time. And it's this part of her career that we focus on today.However, Tamiko went on to become a pioneering digital artist who has worked in the realm of virtual reality for the past thirty years, starting in 1994 when she worked with Steven Spielberg on the Starbright World project where they created an online interactive 3D virtual world for seriously ill children.Tamiko also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Product Design Engineering, from Stanford University in 1979 and received a Masters in Mechanical Engineering from MIT in 1983, with a focus on human-machine design and computer graphics, as well as a diploma from the Academy of fine arts in Munich, Germany. In today's conversation we dig deep into that special time in history when all the so-called experts said what Danny, Tamiko and co. were working on at Thinking Machines couldn't be done and where… they proved them all wrong.Enjoy!--------------Image of Tamiko copyright Tamiko ThielTamiko website / LinkedIn /  InstagramI am not on social media this year but stay in touch via my Newsletter / YouTube--------------Tamiko in London March 2024The Travels of Mariko Horo interactive virtual reality installationBy Tamiko Thiel, 2006/2017, with original music by Ping JinIn "GLoW: ILLUMINATING INNOVATION"Bush House Arcade, King's College, Strand, LondonExhibition: 08 March - 20 April 2024Panel and opening event: 07 March, 6:30pmLocation: Great Hall, King's Building, Strand, King's College LondonThe CM-1 t-shirt and Tamiko's Travels of Mariko Horo mesh top will be shown in the following, with information on how to order them (from my web shops: http://tamikothiel.com/cm/cm-tshirt.html)Curiosity Cabinet, King's College171 Strand/Corner of Surrey St., Londonhttps://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/curiosity-cabinet-showcases-antiquities-and-oddities-on-the-strand

Pablos: So what happens right now in scientific research is, if you're going to do a research study on something, like "are M&Ms is bad for you?" It's impossible to do that study. You have to be very specific and ask a much more fine grained questions like " how many M&Ms does it take to, Kill a mouse?" or to cause a mouse to vomit. You just have to be very specific cause that's something testable. You could test that, you can get multiple mice, you can feed them enough M&M's that they eventually vomit. The whole research study can be done that way. And so when you read scientific research studies, that's typically what you're looking at is some very narrowly defined thing that they believe is correlated to a much more significant or bigger effect, but you can't test the whole thing. You can't ask questions like, "does this thing cause cancer?" You can ask questions like, " does this amount of exposure to this thing over this much time cause this specific, type of cancer in this type of rat?" Things like that. So that's great and all because it means, we're structuring, tests that we can actually perform, but the downside is that for most people, what they would actually like to know is " do M&Ms cause cancer or how many of them is too much, things like that. Getting those answers is often not straightforward from scientific literature. And so the way that we. usually try to compensate for that is to do what's called a meta analysis. And a meta analysis is where somebody will go and dig up all of the studies on a given topic, combine them and try to say, "across a hundred studies involving M&Ms and cancer, this is kind of what happened" and, to just sort of give you a general sense of whether or not, the effect you're interested in is happening. Good examples of this are like, chiropraction is largely, debunked. A lot of people get pissed off at me talking about it because it can be a deluxe placebo, but in clinical trials, very few clinical trials are performed. It's hard to do them. Different practitioners have, different effectivity levels anyway. And so the problem is it's hard to run those studies, but even if you do, you can't find any indication that chiropraction actually cures anything. So this is a case where we don't have good research and the only way to try and get to the bottom of it is with a meta analysis where you find the studies that have been done and you sort of combine their results and try to say whether or not chiropraction works. People, there's no point arguing with me if you're listening and you think chiropractic is great. Go nuts. I encourage you not to do that, but, whatever, do your own thing. But the point is the only way you could get a reasonable answer is with this kind of meta analysis. Now meta analysis is very time consuming and difficult to perform and often isn't getting done, but what it really involves is just go read a bunch of studies. Well, it turns out that's what an LLM is really fucking good at. So you, so right now we're in a stunted position because one of the big problems with OpenAI and ChatGPT is they've crippled ChatGPT. It doesn't read scientific literature and even if it does, it's not really allowed to comment on it. So they've crippled the thing to keep you from talking to it about anything that might be health related and stuff like that. What you would really want an LLM to do, and one of the things that would be really good at is doing ad hoc meta analysis. So you could just say, "Hey, I feel like I'm getting a cold, should I take zinc?" There's people marketing zinc for that purpose. We've all been told to take zinc, but I don't fucking know if that's an old wives tale, Ash: It's like echinacea, zinc, doesn't matter, it's all those things. Pablos: I don't have time to go read every scientific research study, but I bet you collectively we have that answer, and so if I could just ask an LLM. Ash: Wasn't wasn't IBM's Watson at some point pretty good? Watson Health actually had all this. Pablos: That's probably what they were trying to do. Ash: They were doing it and they were doing pretty well. They weren't they weren't using a full LLM model. That's that was the whole breakthrough. Pablos: They were kind of in the pre LLM days. It was LM. It was just LM. It wasn't LLM. Ash: Just language models. And they were taking huge amounts of data. But what they had is they had their own normalized structures underneath. So that was the difference, right? They didn't let the structure form itself. But what you're saying is true. Pablos: You're right, and we could probably build like a Watson for health in a weekend now using, Stable Diffusion or something. It would be way better. You would just basically load it up with all the research and let it go nuts and then let people ask questions like, " Hey, should I be taking zinc?" Ash: The problem is reliability score. Pablos: Oh no, it'd be terrible, but it's already horrific. Right now, we're just going off superstition. I mean, literally that question of, should I take zinc? You're gonna get as many answers as people you ask because somebody's Chinese grandmother said You should be, taking echinacea instead. Ash: You should listen to my first class. The first part we were talking about is what is known as "triangulation of information truth." What is provenance for data. Then you have to figure out, how do you weigh it? LLMs are fantastic, like you said, because they can take all your source inputs. So if you go back to, to signal analysis, or analytics for like intelligence again. We'll just lean on that for a moment. Truth is great if you're playing with mathematics. You get QED and you call it a day for the most part. But for other things, truth, zinc, for example, like your zinc example. There's some balance between like how much did it really? Was it an emotional support protocol? Did it help you because you were convinced that, your grandmother was right or whatever's happening to, to actual physical actions internally, right? We can be scientific about it, but it comes back to source and information. If you pick a really, really dangerous topic and we won't go there, but let's just pick Gaza for one second. How do you find what's really happening? Well, you hear a lot and someone's like, "well, I read it in the Wall Street Journal." I read it here. I heard it there. I took Al Jazeera. I did Briebert. Whatever you picked. The question was, did you do it in all the languages? Did you listen to a local radio station? Did you find someone's signal data from nearby? What was happening? Did the bomb go off or did this happen? If you look at information, just like you're looking at these scientific papers, the question becomes the weighting factor. We as humans, I think one of the things we know how to maybe do, at least a good analyst should be able to do, is try to give weighting based on time and location and stuff. And I think the large language models have to start to put in context again. I think they have to add one more dimension. Pablos: For sure. And I think that you touched on the other thing, which is that right now, all this information is like floating around without, tracking provenance, and so, interestingly, like in scientific research, you at least have citations. which is a lightweight form of provenance. It's a start, but ultimately, the way these things all need to be built, not only , the LLMs for doing meta analysis, but really every knowledge graph needs to be built off of assertions that are tracked. You keep track of provenance, okay the sky is blue, well, who said the sky is blue? Where did you get that from? And that way, whenever you're ingesting some knowledge, it's coming with a track record. That's how we're going to solve news online, eventually. Ash: Kind of like, the Google Scholar score or whatever. I go back to my partner, to Palle, right? So Palé actually has a patent. It's probably expiring soon, so for those of you who want to do this, we should go do it. He owns webprovenance.com. And he owns the patent on how you check provenance. One of the things that came out of the BlackDuck software stuff was that at BlackDuck, we needed to know who created something. So do you remember the Sun Microsystems, IBM, lawsuit, Java? If you're a compiler theorist, then you know that, just because West Side Story takes place in New York, You could probably say, well, doesn't it sound exactly like, Romeo and Juliet? So maybe you change the variables, but it's the same stuff. And the idea was that when we were looking at, open source, with open source, the interesting thing is you're trying to figure out, where did this little rogue piece of code, this little GPL or LGPL infection come from? You need to find it. So it's one thing to talk about the combinatorials, but the other was to find it. And then Palle was like, well, I can do something cooler., He said, if Brewster Kahle's Way Back Machine, remember the original Alexa project? So If you could go in and take all that data, he's like, I could pretty much tell you like who killed JFK. You can find the provenance of almost any information. He wrote this wild algorithm for it. I'd love to see some of that incorporated into the LLM stuff because that algorithm, and again, we would happily, anyone out there if you're willing, this has been a project we've been looking at for the better part of 15 years. Pablos: Well Stability might pick it up. They love that kind of stuff, that would be a huge coup for them. Ash: Well, we should, we should have this conversation offline, but it's a, it's interesting. It's an incredibly cool algorithm. He was a compiler theorist anyway, an algorithmist, at Thinking Machines. So, he always wondered where the info came from. And I sat there and said, hey, we should find a way. And I remember the stunt I wanted was like, to figure out if they were aliens. And he's like, what do you mean? It's like, well, who started that rumor? Like, where did it happen? Right? So, imagine you could take any rumor, and I can tell you how it started. Pablos: That's so cool. Ash: Wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever? Pablos: So important. Ash: Yeah, and we need that. Pablos: That is super important. I've seen somewhere, a map that somebody made of where are all the UFO sightings reported? And like 98 percent of them are in the United States. I think the rest of the world doesn't even have UFO as like a notion. it's not even a, thing for them. Ash: It's cause we have no healthcare. Look, all I know is, years ago, we just didn't have enough data. Years ago, we couldn't. We were like, looking at the Wayback Machine, and we were like, I was like, well, who can we go to to get all the data? Can we get the entire web? Today, large language models have already stolen all the data. They already have it. So if you have enough of the data, we could definitely help you figure out the algorithm to go backwards and it's complicated. Pablos: That's super exciting. Ash: He actually patented it himself because he was trying to figure out if he didn't need a patent attorney. So that was his project, can I make a patent? And his patents on provenance. So I think it's a big coup if they could pull it off. Can you imagine you could just type in who started, where did this first start? Pablos: Dude, that's crazy cool. Ash: It's super cool. Pablos: I'm kind of always on a rant about this, but we need a variety of models. Like LLM is the beginning, not It's a thing that you need, like the way we're doing it now actually kind of sucks and requires a lot of brute force, but there's so many things that it's not good for. Ash: And it's so susceptible to the thing that, what did I do in my life? Psych warfare is all about information corruption. Dude, you corrupt a large language model, that thing is convinced that the sky is red at that point. Pablos: Exactly, well, I've been thinking about that. Why don't I just.. Ash: Corrupt it?. We're bad hackers. Pablos: I can fire up, 100,000, blogs written by an LLM that all just talk about my, prowess with the ladies. Ash: Exactly. Pablos: And the next thing you know, all the future LLMs will be trained on a massive amount of data that indicates that, Pablos is the man. Why wouldn't we do that? Ash: At the end of the day, the LLMs are basically superstition. There you go. I've just said it. Pablos: Right. They're superstition. There you go. Ash: LLMs are superstition. They're based on some concept of something that it derived because it took a whole lot of information from a lot of grandmothers. Pablos: And that's the thing, Like what's posted on the internet is all that they know. It's driving me crazy. Ash: Worse, it's only the people who have given them permission, so the quality sources are going to start cutting them off. So, all they've got, all you've got are the people who are generating rumors that they've seen UFOs. Pablos: Well, that's all true for the LLMs made in America. Ash: Yeah, so the American LLMs know where the UFOs are. Pablos: Japan decided that copyright doesn't apply to training LLMs. So the most powerful LLMs, for now, are gonna be in Japan. Sign me up. Ash: Even better, that means Japanese information... Pablos: That's probably true, learn Japanese. Ash: Which, think of it, if I wanted to build, my 100,000 LLMs generating your prowess, I'm gonna do it all in Japanese. I'll do kanji, hiragana, and katakana. I'll give it to them in all three formats. You could crush it. I I would love to see any of these. I think that's, that should be our ask for everyone. Pablos: Yeah. Ash: if someone, someone wants to run with it, go build it. Pablos: Yeah, people, build this shit. Ash: Tell us. We can help you commercialize. We will find you.

Starting back in 2003, private health coverage companies like UnitedHealth, Anthem Blue Cross, Humana and others were allowed to offer "Medicare Advantage" plans to senior citizens and the disabled who qualified for Medicare. Since then, those corporations have figured out how to lie, cheat and swindle the US Government for well over $100,000,000,000.00 - we're talking the level of the net worth of people like Warren Buffet and Jeff Bezos - every YEAR, all while providing their members WORSE health outcomes that cost them MORE. We investigate. Then, the Internet Archive has been an online library for years now, but when founder Brewster Kahle decided he'd help people suffering via COVID lockdown by releasing all constraints on the Internet Archive's access to copyrighted works, publishing houses sued, and WON. We look at how this loss could spell the end of libraries as we have known them. All this and more on TMI for Friday, October 06, 2023 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Dismantling our slave chains means being able to discern truth from falsehood. Refusing to be pawns comes from embracing knowledge. Wisdom and reason were once considered an elite skill. Ignorance is a cloak used to cover crimes. Your mind, heart and soul serves as a shadow. It's too often repeated, but the truth will set you free. Our deepest fears are where courage is born. Once considered a weakness, our emotions are really possible strengths. Allowing ourselves to feel. Tips on weathering this storm. From slumber trance to quaking foundations. What does honoring vulnerabilities mean? We can bake the first amendment into our digital library. One bad ass Trojan horse. Brewster Kahle plans how to back up the internet. He who loves knowledge. Digitizing libraries for everyone. Why web archiving meets huge resistance. Copyright law and censorship become true shackles. Liberating ideas with concentrated passion. Universal access allows people to avoid traps. More dangerous than guns. The dedicated Arcadia efforts. We must always see knowledge as a cherished human right, giving fulfillment, harmony and purpose. Without it we perish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week, owing to this week's decision in favor of four book publishers and against The Internet Archive, we're covering that case, Hachette v. Internet Archive, in brief. On your mark, get set, go. First a bit of background …The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library that aims to provide free access to digital content for everyone. It was founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle and is based in San Francisco, California. The organization's mission is to preserve digital content and make it available to future generations. It has a vast collection of websites, books, videos, images, software, and other digital content that can be accessed for free. The Internet Archive has been involved in various projects, including the Wayback Machine, which allows users to see historical versions of websites, and the Open Library, which provides free access to over 2.5 million digitized books. The organization also hosts the annual Decentralized Web Summit, which explores the future of the web and its potential to become more decentralized and user-controlled. The Internet Archive is funded through donations and grants and is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.This week, the Internet Archive lost a lawsuit brought against it by four book publishers, who claimed that the website did not have the right to scan books and lend them out like a library. The Internet Archive had launched its National Emergency Library program during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing people to read from 1.4 million digitized books with no waitlist. However, Judge John G. Koeltl decided that the Internet Archive had done nothing more than create “derivative works” and would have needed authorization from the books' copyright holders before lending them out. The judge dismissed all of the Internet Archive's Fair Use arguments and wrote that any “alleged benefits” from the Internet Archive's library “cannot outweigh the market harm to the publishers”. The Internet Archive says it will appeal. Fair use is a legal doctrine in the United States that allows limited use of copyrighted material without seeking permission from the copyright owner. The doctrine recognizes that certain uses of copyrighted material are necessary for freedom of expression, education, research, and other public interests. It provides a legal defense for using copyrighted works for criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research, and other transformative purposes. Four factors are used to determine whether a particular use of a copyrighted work qualifies as fair use: the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used, and the effect of the use on the potential market for the copyrighted work. Fair use is not a bright-line rule, and courts must evaluate each case on its own merits. In general, a use is more likely to be considered fair if it is non-commercial, transformative, and uses only a small amount of the copyrighted work.Obviously, the wholesale reproduction of a copyrighted book, for instance, uses a large portion of the copyrighted work and is not transformative of the underlying work – that is, we aren't talking about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. A compelling argument can be made that the market harm to the publishers, even in a time like the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, was significant owing to the existence of things like ebooks and the shipment of books from online retailers. The Internet Archive also tried to argue that the lending system may have contributed to book sales, the theory being that individuals that borrow a book might like to have a permanent copy. The judge in the case dismissed those theoretical arguments in favor of the publisher's, let's face it, theoretical arguments that their sales would have been higher had the Internet Archive not been lending out copies. As ever, it is mostly a test of whose speculative story sounds more plausible. The Internet Archive is an important resource for preserving digital information and making it accessible to the public. It provides free access to a vast collection of digitized books, audio recordings, movies, and other materials that are in danger of being lost or forgotten. The website's Wayback Machine allows users to browse over 570 billion web pages saved over time. The Internet Archive also hosts a growing collection of software and video games, as well as a TV News Archive, which provides access to a searchable archive of over one million news broadcasts. In sum, the Internet Archive plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage and providing universal access to knowledge.As of now, none of that work in particular is at risk — but care must be taken on the part of the Internet Archive, and this is not legal advice but merely an observation, that their important collection is not put at risk by leaning on concepts as nebulous as fair use in future endeavors. In other words, please Internet Archive if you're listening, don't get yourself shut down. To our other listeners, enjoy your maximum minimum competence on the Internet Archive case.   Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Since 18th century and pre-Constitution America, libraries have been a public space, a central repository where books could be borrowed, read and returned—a long defended democratic ideal of the public library. The nonprofit Internet Archive, founded in 1996, was built to be both the library of the Internet and the library on the Internet—a grand repository of knowledge. Its mission: universal access to all knowledge through the networked reach of the Internet, which allows the Archive to serve as a loc­­­al library for users with a browser anywhere. During the global COVID pandemic closures of public libraries and schools in 2020, the Internet Archive created the  National Emergency Library  to provide digitized books to students and the public. This changed the one book/one person model of lending. Subsequent lawsuits and responses have led to current federal court cases, led by major publishers, contending that controlled digital lending means “willful mass copyright infringement.” Countersuits filed and championed by the Archive propose that such an argument presents “obstacles to the free flow of information” and the guarantee of pubic library lending access.To explore these issues, join us for a conversation with Brewster Kahle, the founder and digital librarian of the Internet Archive, which now preserves more than 99 unique petabytes of data—the books, web pages, music, television and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than 950 library and university partners to create a digital library accessible to all. Kahle created the Internet's first publishing system, called the Wide Area Information Server, later selling the company to AOL. He also co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the web; he sold it to Amazon.com. The Archive's Wayback machine is one of the most popular Internet websites. MLF ORGANIZER Anne W.

Our guest for this episode is Brewster Kahle, a digital librarian who has spent his career intent on providing universal access to all knowledge. Kahle created the Internet's first publishing system, Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) and two sites that help catalog the web by collecting data of books, web pages, music, television, and software: Alexa Internet and the Internet Archive. He also implemented the Wayback Machine, a digital archive of the World Wide Web. In this episode, Brewster talks about expanding access to the published works of humankind through creating these systems. He emphasizes the importance of archives and elucidates how his systems work on a technical level. Lastly, Brewster reflects on the evolution of the Internet and his goal to help Internet users gain more control of their privacy and what they have access to online. Click here for this episode's transcript, and here for this episode's show notes.

Twenty-five years ago the world wide web was 2.5 terabytes and you needed to dial-up via your phone line to get onto it, so Brewster Kahle decided to set up a project to archive what was out there already. Now the Internet Archive consists of more than 588 billion web pages, as well as 28 million books and texts, 14 million audio items, and 580,000 software titles, making it one of the world's largest digital libraries. Brewster tells Gareth how they've done this – especially making content that runs on old and absolute technologies accessible today. The Future of Text Why is our tech for text so simple and boring – in effect it's little more than an electronic copy of a paper page? But this changes with new technology bringing books and documents to life with interaction and metadata tags that allow you to search, source and organise text as never before. Father of the internet, Vint Cerf and Frode Hegland, Founder of the Augmented Text Company, are on the show to tell us why we're now able to move on from using the click of a mouse to manage our text. Moonshot – tech used to learn more about neglected diseases is fighting COVID The COVID Moonshot project began as a virtual collaboration during UK 2020 lockdown. Scientists, academics, researchers & students started a twitter-fuelled race against the clock to identify new molecules that could block SARS-CoV-2 and develop treatments that would be globally affordable and easily manufactured for most vulnerable communities. Coordinating this effort is the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative, using the AI tools and computer crowdsourcing tech they've adopted for neglected diseases as well as the use of the Diamond Light Source technology. All of this tech allows the scientists to build up a huge catalogue of the structures of disease-causing parasites and then model potential treatments to see if they might work. Dr. Nathalie Strub-Wourgaft, Director of Neglected Tropical Diseases, DNDi joins us. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Bill Thompson.

Brewster Kahle is founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Next to his mission to provide universal access to all knowledge, he is a passionate advocate for public Internet access, as well as a successful entrepreneur (Thinking Machines, Wide Area Information Server and Alexa Internet) and a member of the Board of Directors of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, preserves petabytes of data - the books, Web pages, music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with hundreds of library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to all. More than 1 million people use the Internet Archive every day. Most of them seek out the Wayback Machine, making 25+ years of web history accessible. He talks about the role of libraries, the Internet battles we've faced and are facing, licensing pains, the National Emergency Library, and how the Internet Archive's efforts to make culture and knowledge accessible through controlled digital lending are threatened by the publishers' lawsuit against the Archive.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZD Tech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Marine Louste et aujourd'hui, je vous fais découvrir la mémoire de l'internet mondial. J'ai nommé Internet Archive. Allons-y ! Que vous soyez plutôt Tardis ou Delorean, je suis sûre que vous rêvez de voyager dans le temps. Et bien, Internet Archive a la solution avec son formidable outil, la "wayback machine". De quoi revivre les meilleurs (et les pire) moments de l'internet mondial depuis... 1996. Donc maintenant, vous vous dites, Internet Archive qu'est-ce que c'est ? Internet Archive, c'est un organisme à but non lucratif. Son objectif ? Comme son nom l'indique, archiver l'internet au fil du temps. Ce projet titanesque dure depuis 25 ans. Son fondateur, Brewster Kahle, se définit à la fois comme informaticien, bibliothécaire et militant de la propriété intellectuelle. Il compare tout simplement ce projet à la bibliothèque d'Alexandrie. Mais en version web, évidemment. On y trouve donc tout ce qui fait internet. Jugez plutôt : le site regroupe 475 milliards de pages web, 28 millions de textes et 14 millions d'enregistrements audio. Et oui, ça pèse. 30 pétaoctets de données, au minimum, pour être précis. La bibliothèque d'Alexandrie des temps modernes, effectivement. Mais, à Alexandrie, on se posait certainement moins qu'aujourd'hui la question du copyright. Et oui, l'an dernier, au plus fort de la pandémie et des confinements, Internet Archive a mis à disposition du public des œuvres protégées par le droit d'auteur. Résultat : quatre grands éditeurs américains ont porté plainte. Le procès est en cours. Vous allez me dire : mais... et le voyage dans le temps dans tout ça ? Et bien, la "wayback machine", ou "machine à revenir en arrière" en français, permet de revenir à un instant T sur un site donné. Cet outil est disponible depuis 2001. Alors, comment ça fonctionne ? Je vous rassure, pas besoin d'attendre une nuit d'orage ou de chercher une police box. Il vous suffit d'aller sur le site archive.org/web. Un site à l'ergonomie, je l'avoue, un peu vintage. Comme ça, vous êtes déjà dans l'ambiance ! Bon, je l'ai testé pour vous. Avec ZDNet.fr, bien sûr. Et bien, sachez qu'il y a un peu plus de 20 ans, en septembre 2001, on attendait Windows XP avec impatience... et oui, le dernier bon Windows pointait le bout de son nez. On est loin de Windows 11 ! Et voilà, normalement on a fait le tour du sujet. Pour en savoir plus, rendez-vous sur zdnet.fr. Et retrouvez tous les jours un nouvel épisode du ZD Tech sur vos plateformes de podcast préférées.

"Can we make journalism that is safe to write and safe to read?

When he founded the Internet Archive 25 years ago, Brewster Kahle ambitiously set out to create a modern-day library that would “create a permanent memory for the Web that can be leveraged to make a new Global Mind.” Housed in a former church on Funston Street in San Francisco, the archive has amassed 70 million gigabytes of data that includes 65 million books, texts, movies, audio files, and images. Its Wayback Machine has saved more than 653 billion web pages and counting. While Kahle's ideals have stayed steady, the internet has radically changed. We'll talk with Kahle and a panel of experts about what the internet is, could be and should be.  

In 1996, the Internet Archive began to create a record of the internet itself, archiving and preserving all the content published on the Internet. Since then, the non-profit organization has been on a mission to make knowledge universally accessible by digitizing and archiving every type of content: newspapers, books, audio recordings, videos, images and even software programs. Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, joins Mike and John in a lively discussion about how it all began and why creating this archive is so important.

There was a lot of industry buzz last month when it was announced that Editor and Publisher Magazine was supplying more than a hundred years of editions digitally for free via a partnership with The Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Founded by Brewster Kale, a passionate advocate for public internet access and a successful entrepreneur, Kahle has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing universal access to all knowledge. Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the internet's first publishing system called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the web, selling it to Amazon in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, now preserves 20 petabytes of data—the books, web pages, music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than 400 library and university partners to create a digital library and making it accessible to all. In 2005, Kale was honored by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2008, he received the  Robert B. Downs Intellectual Freedom Award from the University of Illinois. In 2010, he received his Honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Alberta, and in 2012, Kale was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. In the segment of E&P Reports, publisher Mike Blinder has a lively conversation with Kale who speaks about how he feels about digital privacy, the future of content distribution and compensation, and why the preservation and access to historical content is a matter of paramount importance.   Related links: More about Brewster Kale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle   The Internet Archive: https://archive.org   Editor and Publisher’s 100+ years of Archives: https://www.editorandpublisher.com/archives/  

Have you ever thought it would be cool to see a website from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, even 20 years ago?That is exactly the vision that Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive and The Wayback Machine first started to develop in the late 1990's!In fact, Brewster was developing the Wayback Machine simultaneously to running Alexa Internet, one of the first internet browser plug-ins to track user web activity, which was ultimately sold to Amazon in 1999 for $250M in Amazon stock!Over the last 20 years, the Internet Archive has built the worlds largest archive of internet content - think the LIBRARY of the Internet. The magnitude is incredible:- 516 Billion Web Pages- 70 Petabytes of Storage- 6 Million Movies and Videos- 600,000 Software Programs- 1.5 Million Audio Files- 1.5M Daily UsersBrewster was voted into the Internet Hall of Fame (yes, their is an Internet Hall of Fame), and is one of the most visionary, insightful and visionaries in the Internet ecosystem.Listen to this 30 minute session with Brewster and you will come away with a sense of excitement and possibilities that we have not yet realized in the internet economy!

A couple of months ago, we brought in Bob Taylor and Jeff Marple from Liberty Mutual, and Gabe Teninbaum from Suffolk Law School to discuss the Boston Legal Design Challenge being held online in November. Taylor and Marple are back to discuss how things went, and they brought with them one of the members of the championship team, Aubrie Souza. Souza is a 2L from Suffolk and her team triumphed over the other nine law school competitors from across the United States and Canada. While the event was held online, the technology, the structure, and the facilitators and judges made all of the competitors feel as though they were still working side by side. (See Video) Information Inspirations Lillian Michelson created a magnificent library for movie design. Over a fifty-year span, Michelson helped movie producers and directors make scenes realistic through her research and cataloging of information and details. Unfortunately, she no longer had the space to store all of her research and materials. For the past few years, the library sat in boxes looking for a home, or to be digitized. Finally, the Internet Archive and its founder, Brewster Kahle heeded the call and are placing the material on the Internet Archives database for all. A ribbon-cutting event is taking place on January 27, 2021, launching the first phase of this project. The Baltimore Library is raising $25,000.00 for a van to provide legal resources to the surrounding community. This project is exactly how Access to Justice issues need to be addressed. The project is headed up by Baltimore County Librarian Julie Brophy, and Maryland Legal Aid Pro-Bono Director Amy Petkovsek. Hat's off to both for taking this on.

And tonight, it's a great pleasure to have with us the Founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, Brewster Kahle, and Wendy Hanamura, who serves as the Director of Partnerships and the project lead in the 100&Change challenge of the MacArthur Foundation.

More than 98% of the information on the web is lost within 20 years, and huge gaps exist in our digital and cultural history. Zoran Basich and Alex Pruden of a16z talk to Brewster Kahle and Sam Williams, who are using different approaches to attack this problem. Brewster cofounded the Internet Archive, which is well known for creating the Wayback Machine that crawls a billion URLs every day. Sam cofounded Arweave, a company that uses decentralized crypto networks to store information forever. For both of them, this issue has implications that go far beyond just data storage. It touches on issues of censorship, government manipulation of information, and how historical context is necessary for well-functioning societies. They discuss how decentralized models offer the promise of building a next-generation web that works better for users.

Our interview with Ben Buchanan begins with his report on how artificial intelligence may influence national and cybersecurity. Ben's quick takes: better for defense than offense, and probably even better for propaganda. The best part, in my view, is Ben's explanation of how to poison the AI that's trying to hack you—and the scary possibility that China is already poisoning Silicon Valley's AI. By popular request, we've revisited a story we skipped last week to do a pretty deep dive on the decision (for now) that Capital One can't claim attorney-client work product privilege in a Mandiant intrusion response report prepared after its breach. Steptoe litigator Charles Michael and I talk about how IR firms and CISOs should respond to the decision, assuming it stands up on appeal. Maury Shenk notes the latest of about a hundred warnings, this time from Christopher Krebs, the director of DHS's cybersecurity agency and the head of Britain's GCHQ, that China's intelligence service—and every other intelligence service on the planet—seem to be targeting COVID-19 research. Maury takes us through the week in internet copyright fights. Ideological copyright enforcement meets the world's dumbest takedown bots as Twitter removes a Trump campaign video tribute to George Floyd due to a copyright claim. The video is still available on Trump's YouTube channel. We puzzle over Instagram's failure to provide a license to users of its embedding API. The announcement could come as an unwelcome surprise to users who believed that embedding images, rather than hosting them directly, provides insulation against copyright claims. Finally, much as I love Brewster Kahle, I'm afraid that Kahle's latest move marks his transition from internet hippie to “holy fool”—and maybe a broke one. His Internet Archive, the online library best known for maintaining the Internet Wayback Machine makes scanned copies of books available to the public on terms that resemble a library's. The setup was arguably legal—and no one was suing—until Kahle decided to let people download more books than his company had paid for. Now he faces an ugly copyright lawsuit. Speaking of ugly lawsuits, Mark MacCarthy and Paul Rosenzweig comment on the Center for Democracy and Technology's complaint that Trump violated tech companies' right to free speech with his executive order on section 230. (Reuters, NYT) I question whether this lawsuit will get far. This Week in Working the Ref: Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are facing criticism from users, competitors, civil rights organizations for failing to censor the people those groups hate. (Ars Technica, Politico). Meanwhile, Snap scores points by ending promotion of Trump's account after concluding his tweets incited violence. Where is Nate Jones when you need him? He would love this story: A Twitter user sacrificed a Twitter account to show that Trump is treated differently than others by the platform. Of course, the panel notes, that's pretty much what Twitter says it does. In quick hits, I serve notice that no one should be surprised if Justice brings an adtech antitrust suit against Google. The Israeli government announces an attack on its infrastructure so late that the press has already identified and attributed its retaliatory cyberattack on Iran's ports. And somebody pretty good—probably not the Russians, I argue—is targeting industrial firms. Download the 319th Episode (mp3).

互联网档案馆从时代的角度看艺术，这里是磨时艺见。在疫情隔离期间，不少图书馆都开放线上资源，以便读者们在家也能及时获取相关的文献资料。近日，美国非盈利组织“互联网档案馆”就宣布，在疫情期间对公众开放其线上扫描图书资源，这种做法不但受到读者们的广泛赞赏，也受到作家、出版商的批评，称之为“伪装成公共服务的盗版行为”。根据当地相关条款规定，公共图书馆必须付款给出版商，才能获得借阅电子书的许可证。但是“互联网档案馆”并没有进行这个流程，而是依靠捐赠、购买，或者通过与线下图书馆合作获得书籍，然后对书籍进行扫描、借阅。而如今对公众开放扫描图书资源的行为，使得“互联网档案馆”的运作更像一个免费的数字图书网站。美国出版商协会（Association of American publishers）对此，美国出版商协会主席兼首席执行官玛丽亚·帕兰特认为，“互联网档案馆” 的做法没有得到拥有作品版权的作者或出版商的任何许可，属于公然的侵权行为。作家协会成员也认为这种行为是利用公共卫生危机推进一种违反现行联邦法律、伤害大多数作家的版权意识形态。作家贾雷特·J·克罗索茨卡则表示，他和很多作家一样，因为受到疫情的影响，已经无法再从演讲活动中获得收入，如今更多依赖于版权税谋生。而他也是自己的作品代理人联系之后，才意识到自己的许多书籍在“互联网档案馆”上是免费的。贾雷特·J·克罗索茨卡（Jarrett J.Krosoczka）对于出版商和作家的批评，“互联网档案馆”的创始人布鲁斯特·卡勒表示，他们是在听取到因为学校关闭而寻求更多远程教学资源的教师的意见之后，做出开放其资源库的决定。如果作家不希望自己的作品被免费提供，可以选择退出该项目。布鲁斯特·卡勒（Brewster Kahle）你是如何看待互联网档案馆免费开放扫描图书资源的举措呢？欢迎留言分享你的观点。磨时艺见，每晚9点，准时更新。

One of the effects of the Coronavirus shutdown was that hundreds of millions of books were immediately made inaccessible to students, teachers, and the wider community.  The Internet Archive responded with the National Emergency Library, a tweaked version of its Controlled Digital Lending program that brings scanned versions of millions of lawfully acquired books to readers under strict controls. Brewster Kahle (founder of Internet Archive), Chris Freeland (Director of Open Libraries at Internet Archive), and Kyle Courtney (lawyer, librarian and the copyright advisor at Harvard University) join the podcast to talk about the Internet Archive, controlled digital lending, the National Emergency Library, and the copyright implications of recent developments.

In an online world, that story about you lives forever. The tipsy photograph of you at the college football game? It’s up there. That news article about the political rally you were marching at? It’s up there. A DUI? That’s there, too. But what if ... it wasn’t. In Cleveland, Ohio, a group of journalists are trying out an experiment that has the potential to turn things upside down: they are unpublishing content they’ve already published. Photographs, names, entire articles. Every month or so, they get together to decide what content stays, and what content goes. On today’s episode, reporter Molly Webster goes inside the room where the decisions are being made, listening case-by-case as editors decide who, or what, gets to be deleted. It’s a story about time and memory; mistakes and second chances; and society as we know it. This episode was reported by Molly Webster, and produced by Molly Webster and Bethel Habte.  Special thanks to Kathy English, David Erdos, Ed Haber, Brewster Kahle, Imani Leonard, Ruth Samuel, James Bennett II, Alice Wilder, Alex Overington, Jane Kamensky and all the people who helped shape this story.

Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive's Founder & Digital Librarian, has spent his career dedicated to universal access to knowledge. In an age of digital distrust, can we course correct as we pursue an open Internet? Brewster discusses with Lora Kolodny, CNBC Tech Reporter. This is a recording of their conversation at Fast Forward's annual summit, Accelerate Good Global, on April 3rd, 2019.

Playing for Team Human today, founder of the Internet Archive, Brewster Kahle. Kahle is keeping the dream of building a decentralized, open, mind-expanding internet alive. In this Team Human conversation, Brewster and Douglas discuss the faulty dot-com business models and incentives that derailed the net. They look at the mountains of Twentieth Century culture in danger of being lost from the archive. In a historical moment when we feel exploited and distrustful of so much media, Internet Archive presents a refuge for deeper searches, research, and exploration. The Internet Archive’s associated projects including the Wayback Machine, tv.archive.org, the Great 78 Project and openlibrary.org all play a significant role in making sure the internet remains a home for culture and sharing. But don’t take our word for it. Jump in! Dig though the stacks at archive.org. Borrow a book at OpenLibrary. Upload your band’s demo or search your original website on the Wayback Machine. This episode ends with clips from the Prelinger Archive, including video produced for the World’s Fair by Westinghouse and a Civil Defense film teaching students to “duck and cover” in the age of atomic weapons. Douglas opens today’s show with an exploration of Operation Mindfuck. Was Operation Mindfuck too successful? Has consensus reality disappeared all too completely so that we are left with nothing real, no true grounding at all? Check out Douglas’s regular column on Medium, featuring expanded versions of the monologues you hear each week opening the show.

This week on Innovation Hub, we learn about different ways to keep track of the facts -- from cataloging the internet to broadcasting live from the Senate.

This episode features Brewster Kahle, Digital Librarian and founder of the Internet Archive, and Wikimedia Foundation Creative Director Heather Walls in conversation about the Internet and how its systems exhibit impermanence as well as permanence over time.

Getting Technical Again with Stacey Marien and Alayne Mundt In this episode we get to hear Katina Strauch’s weekly Rumors segment. Following Katina we hear three more articles from the series “Lets Get Technical” by ATG Column Editors Stacey Marien (Acquisitions Librarian, American University Library) and Alayne Mundt (Resource Description Librarian, American University Library) focusing on practical problems and solutions in Technical Services departments. Columns covered are: Let’s Get Technical - Moving Technical Services To An Offsite Space Let’s Get Technical - A Technical Services Perspective On Taking On A Shared Retention Project, Part One Let’s Get Technical - Piloting a DDA Program For Specific Subjects This week’s Katina’s Rumors: It was exciting to learn that the innovatively full of ideas, Alison Mudditt is leaving UCPress to take up the role of CEO of PLOS in San Francisco. Alison says this has not been an easy decision for her. She is still passionate about the critical mission and role of University of California Press (UC Press), now more than ever. For the past six years Mudditt served as Director where she ushered in new strategies to lead the company into the digital age, including the innovative journal and monograph Open Access programs Collabra and Luminos. The press has been through an incredible transformation over the past six years. The result is a Press that is smart, creative and entrepreneurial, ready for the continuous cycle of challenge and opportunity that is university press publishing. The transformation hasn’t been easy, and over recent months Alison has decided that it’s time for new and fresh leadership to guide UCPress through the next phase. Obviously, there is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but the UC Press is in a good position, All the hard work of the past years is bearing fruit since the Press is seeing growth in traditional book and journal programs as well as rapid growth in new digital ventures. Over the past six years: not only has revenue grow revenues with consistent surpluses to reinvest but also wide-scale impact, the most important measure for any non-profit. Not only does UC’s award-winning program continue to shine a light on critical issues that move toward better solutions, but we are now recognized as a leader and innovator in scholarly publishing. Alison is looking toward her own new beginning. The opportunity to lead the ground-breaking PLOS which has spearheaded a revolution in scientific communication was too tempting. Alison acknowledges that the OA market has evolved and matured. Her top priority will be charting what comes next for PLOS – how does it remain true to its mission and continue to push boundaries? Alison loves the public advocacy part of her work and is looking forward to expanding that at PLOS. No wonder PLOS is pleased to announce the appointment of Alison Mudditt as its Chief Executive Officer, effective June 19, 2017! Prior to UC Press, Mudditt was Executive Vice President at SAGE Publications, Inc., leading publishing programs across books, journals and digital platforms. Her 25 plus years in the publishing industry include leadership positions at Blackwell Publishers in Oxford, UK, and Taylor & Francis Inc., in Philadelphia, US. Mudditt received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Bath and her Masters in Business Administration from The Open University. Congratulations, Alison! Looking forward to the next phases! The Internet Archive was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 21st annual Webbys, hailed by the New York Times as “one of the Internet’s highest honors.” The Webby Awards lauded the Internet Archive for being “the web’s most knowledgeable historian.” Perhaps the greatest honor of the evening came in the form of a video narrated by Open Knowledge champion, Lawrence Lessig. He said, “Creativity and innovation built on the past. The Internet Archive is the foundation preserving that past, so that perhaps, one can at least hope that our children and their children can shape a future that knows our joys and learns from our many mistakes.” The award was presented by Nancy Lublin, CEO of the Crisis Text Line and DoSomething.org, who pointed out that in this chaotic political year, the Internet Archive has saved “200 terabytes of government data that could have otherwise been lost in the transition from blue light saber to red light saber.” The award reads: Lifetime Achievement: Archive.org for its commitment to making the world’s knowledge available online and preserving the history of the Internet itself. With a vast collection of digitized materials and tools like the Wayback Machine, Archive.org has become a vital resource not only to catalogue an ever-changing medium, but to safeguard a free and open Internet for everyone. And, listen up! Brewster Kahle, the founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive will be our keynote speaker at the 2017 Charleston Conference and the Conference thanks the indefatigable Ann Okerson for arranging this! http://www.webbyawards.com/winners/2017/special-achievement/webby-lifetime-achievement/internet-archive/ http://blog.archive.org/2017/05/16/and-the-webby-award-for-lifetime-achievement-goes-to/ www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/ Got a nice note from the awesome David Worlock via Anthony Watkinson and Becky Lenzini about the publication of the latest volume of Liber Quarterly which marks the retirement of Pat Manson who has made a huge contribution to Library and Information work in Europe! Congratulations! https://www.liberquarterly.eu/586/volume/26/issue/4/ I understand that many of the Fiesole Retreat speakers have papers in the above-referenced issue of Liber Quarterly. I was so sorry to have to miss Fiesole in Lille which I heard from Leah Hinds and others was spectacular for content and tourism! There are several reports on Fiesole Lille in the June print issue of ATG which will be mailed shortly as well as posted on the ATGnewschannel. Leah’s report will be posted online shortly as well. Many of the papers from the Fiesole Retreat are loaded on the Casalini website. http://www.casalini.it/retreat/retreat_2017.html

Internet librarian is a real job. And it’s real important. Plus, in 2016, two of the largest private prison companies made 4 billion dollars in revenue. But are they saving us any money. And finally, Social innovation looks like a lot of things. Among them, a prison in New Zealand that try to keep prisoners out, not in.

Brewster Kahle isn’t just a librarian, he’s the internet’s librarian. And it turns out, that’s a really important job.

This week Dave gushes over Brewster Kahle. The man archiving the web in an old Christian Science Church.

Entrepreneur and archivist Brewster Kahle talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about the 20th anniversary of the Internet Archive and why it's more important than ever to preserve our digital past. Kahle talks about the companies he founded and sold to AOL and Amazon — WAIS and Alexa, respectively — and how the nonprofit Archive has dealt with everything from copyright issues to social networking websites that are walling themselves off from the rest of the web. He also predicts where artificial intelligence goes from here, saying today's corporations and militaries are a sort of "proto-AI." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bienvenidos amigas y amigos a la fábrica de podcast. Un podcast semanal de consejos variados de marketing, productividad, emprendimiento, motivación, pero sobre todo PODCAST. Porque nosotros fabricamos podcasts. Y queremos que sepas lo que puede hacer un podcast por tu empresa. Llamamiento a los oyentes para escuchar sus sugerencias si queréis que incorporemos algún contenido nuevo, podéis comentar bajo el podcast, o enviar un e-mail a info@lafabricadepodcast.com. Bien amigos, hoy es LUNES 23 de mayo de 2016 y nuestro hashtag es #cuentaloconunpodcast. Así que… 3, 2. 1 eeempezamos: Humor. Como siempre un minuto para el humor, de la mano del mundo today en el que leemos los siguientes titulares: - Julio Iglesias reclama la paternidad de todos los españoles nacidos entre 1968 y 2016 - Supernanny ha ordenado sacrificar a un niño. Se ve que la niñera no podía más. - Pablo Alborán anuncia una tregua definitiva. El músico afirma en un comunicado que la banda se retira y entregará por fin los instrumentos. Ahora hablemos de MARKETING. El pasado jueves participé en una interesante jornada sobre marketing online en un Ayuntamiento de Valencia, con Alberto Talegón de SEO SCHOOL y Vicent Roselló. Mi aportación fue una aportación de varias herramientas para monitorizar redes sociales. Y esto de monitorizar redes sociales… ¿qué es? ¿En qué beneficia? ¿Cómo me puede ayudar? Bien, comencemos con un ejemplo: Imaginemos que tu ofreces servicios de alquiler de habitaciones en una playa, un paradero rural o tienes un hotel. Pues bien, puedes darle indicaciones a una herramienta para que te avise, en tiempo real, de cuando se menciona una keyword. Es decir una palabra o combinación de palabras clave. Porque recordemos que la palabra clave puede ser una, o estar compuesta. Volvamos al ejemplo, le decimos a la herramienta que monitorice cuando un usuario escriba: aconsejar hotel, o alojamiento Gandía, o habitación barata… se entiende que un usuario ha escrito alguien me puede aconsejar un hotel o alguien me recomienda un alojamiento en Gandía o conocéis una habitación barata? La cuestión es que puedes monitorizar esas palabras clave, y rápidamente, acudir a quien las ha mencionado y ofrecerle una solución. Esa solución, por otro lado es conveniente que la demos de persona a persona. Aunque también de manera corporativa. La cuestión es que hemos encontrado una persona que tiene una necesidad concreta en un momento concreto, y precisamente tenemos el producto o servicio que necesita. Pues bien, estas herramientas existen, y como os decía, hablé de 5 de ellas en la pasada charla. Hoy os voy a presentar una, por si la queréis implementar o probar en vuestra empresa. Algunas de estas herramientas son gratuitas y otras no. En general, la idea es que te den un periodo de prueba gratuito, y si te gusta, a partir de un periodo de prueba, ya tengas que pagar por ella. Es el caso de Twilert. Twilert es una herramienta que recomiendo encarecidamente si queréis rastrear TWITTER. Y rastrear twitter tiene sentido, porque es un canal que se utiliza mucho para preguntar, y también como atención al cliente. ¿Porqué? Por su inmediatez!! Así de simple. Asi que vamos con Twilert. Twilert nos dará un periodo gratuito de 30 días y después, tendrás que pagar unos 9€ x mes. Muy interesante, ya que se puede amortizar muy bien ese dinero. Como funciona? Simple. Es un interface muy simplón, en inglés y te dice que introduzcas tus TWILERTS. Es decir tus alertas de palabras clave. ¿Cada cuanto las quieres recibir? Lo puedes personalizar en: Cada hora, cada día, cada semana un resumen, o como más te guste. Pero además puedes pedirle que lo segmente por área geográfica. Sólo quiero monitorizar a las personas que preguntan por esto, en un área cercana a mi tienda… o mi negocio. También puedes pedirle que filtre por idioma. Si preguntan en inglés, alemán o francés… así que fijaros las posibilidades que brinda. Nos envía una alerta en el preciso momento que alguien publica la palabra o combinación de palabras clave que necesitamos. Pues bien, ya tenéis una herramienta más que os invito a probar, y me gustaría que dieseis vuestra opinión, en los comentarios del podcast, etc. Ahora hablemos de PRODUCTIVIDAD. En el consejo de hoy sobre productividad, no te voy a hablar de una herramienta en concreto, sino de cómo organizarte, utilices la herramienta que utilices. Porque muchas de las personas que me rodean, veo que padecen, sufren el mismo problema. No tienen tiempo para hacer nada, se ven imposibilitados para aprender o mejorar con un curso, o no saben como empezar a formarse, piensan que es demasiado tarde, demasiadas cosas ya. Ejem… bueno, en la mayoría de los casos, esto se puede solucionar. Vamos a dar por supuesto que ya utilizas una herramienta como Google Calendar. Ah no, qué usas yahoo? Pues cambia inmediatamente. No sabes lo que te pierdes si no aprovechas la suite de aplicaciones de google… pero volvamos al asunto. La mayoría de las personas ya utilizamos el calendario de google mail para hacer un listado de tareas. El famoso TO DO LIST. Lista de cosas para hacer. Como el papelito o libretita de toda la vida donde apuntabas las tareas pendientes de cada día, así ibas tachando. Lo que ocurre es que con un listado de tareas no es suficiente para hacer todas las cosas que nos proponemos. Sólo puedes apuntar las cosas que encajan en un horario o espacio de tiempo pequeño. ¿Y si queremos hacer un master, aprender a manejar un programa o mejorar tu inglés?. Por ejemplo, yo hace 3 años escribí una novela histórica sobre astronomía, porque ambos temas me encantan. Y cómo hice eso? De donde saqué tiempo sin abandonar el trabajo? Como puedes poner en tu TO DO LIST… escribir un libro? Pues de lo que os hablo hoy es de organizarte para ser productivo. ¿Cómo organizarte para tareas que aparentemente son monumentales? Lo primero, escribe en un papel tus objetivos para este año. Sí, ya me has oído. Coge tu tiempo, siéntate y piensa, estamos en mayo, junio, da igual…. qué objetivo me marco para el 2016?? Aprender wordpress, por ejemplo. ¿Qué tiempo diario puedes dedicarle al día? 1 hora?, dos? cuanto más, menos tiempo tardarás claro, pero la cuestión es que, al igual que si vas a escribir un libro, podrás decir, pues cada día, de 11 a 12 de la noche tengo una hora para esto. O cada día de 7 a 8 de la mañana, antes de que se despierte el mundo, voy a hacer o aprender esto. Y entonces ya puedes ir a tu herramienta, por ejemplo, google calendar y bloquear esa hora en la que vas a poner todo tu tiempo y concentración en hacer esa enorme tarea que, cuando menos lo pienses ya habrás acabado. Así pues, la herramienta de productividad es, que incluyas en tu lista de tareas diarias, esa tarea descomunal que parece que nunca ves el momento para empezar, fraccionada en pequeñas dosis. Y google calendar, es una buena opción, ya que se sincroniza a la perfección con la mayoría de aplicaciones, tiene alertas, notificaciones, aviso de tareas compartidas, y un sin fin de posibilidades más que un día comentaremos. Consejo de productividad de hoy… atomiza, divide en pequeños pedacitos esa gran tarea, y acométela. Podrás con ella, créeme. Blog / Web recomendado. ARCHIVE.ORG Una máquina del tiempo. Cuando el usuario introduzca una dirección, le saldrá una tabla con los años y las fechas en que se tomaron copias de la web y el usuario podrá navegar por el sitio tal y como lo hubiera hecho en aquel entonces. Un registro de más de 450.000 millones de páginas webs. Esto es lo que ha logrado la organización sin ánimo de lucro archive.org desde su creación en 1996. Un inmenso archivo en el que tanto profesionales como usuarios curiosos pueden analizar la evolución de los distintos sites desde su creación hasta hoy en día. Para esta finalidad, archive.org cuenta con un buscador que ha denominado Wayback Machine. En él, lo único que hay que hacer es introducir la URL del sitio que se desea curiosear y comenzar a viajar en el tiempo observando la evolución de Internet -en diseño y avances tecnológicos- a través de sus protagonistas. Webs de periódicos, revistas, instituciones, empresas… busca lo que se te ocurra y de cualquier lugar del mundo, que seguramente lo encontrarás. Pero esto es sólo la punta del iceberg de lo que es y ofrece esta web. Archive.org es mucho más. Es una gigantesca biblioteca multimedia con millones de contenidos como películas, música, libros, programas, juegos, fotografías… libres de derechos bien porque son Creative Commons o porque transcurrió el tiempo de vigencia de los derechos tras el fallecimiento del autor. Detrás de archive.org está Brewster Kahle, que se define así mismo en su cuenta de Twitter como “bibliotecario digital”. Un ingeniero informático que ha dedicado dos décadas de su vida a recopilar toda esta ingente cantidad de información de gran valor cultural y a ofrecerla de forma gratuita a todo aquel que lo desee con la ayuda de cientos de millones de personas e instituciones que han facilitado los archivos. El proyecto se financia mediante donaciones y su objetivo es “construir la librería digital del futuro en la que la gente pueda explorar y aprender”. En archive.org trabajan 140 personas entre ingenieros, bibliotecarios y diseñadores. Podcasts como herramienta de comunicación El ejercicio de la comunicación esta cada vez mas micro segmentado. Texto, imágenes, audio, video... todos tienen su espacio y su segmento de población. Nosotros apostamos por el podcast como formato de información a demanda. Information on demand. El oyente buscara esa información en sus momentos más receptivos. Antes de dormir, mientras pasea, haciendo ejercicio, conduciendo para ir al trabajo.... es en ese momento en el que tu empresa puede aportar una información de valor a tus oyentes, a través de un podcast corporativo. Cabe destacar que en Estados Unidos ya se paga más de media por la publicidad en podcasts, que en la radio convencional. En Reino Unido hay cerca de 24 millones de descargas mensuales de los podcasts de la programación de la BBC, donde la variedad es total y también se ofrecen muchos programas breves, de entre 10 y 40 minutos, el formato que mejor funciona en podcast. Una herramienta poderosa, atractiva y diferenciadora. Podcast recomendado. ES SALUD Lucía Prieto nos habla todos los días de salud de una forma cercana. Durante una hora aproximadamente.

Twenty years after the World Wide Web was created, can we now make it better? How can we ensure that our most important values — privacy, free speech, and open access to knowledge — are enshrined in the code itself? In a provocative call to action, entrepreneur and Open Internet advocate Brewster Kahle challenges us to build a better, decentralized Web based on new distributed technologies. He lays out a path to creating a new Web that is reliable, private, but still fun — in order to lock the Web open for good. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A passionate advocate for public Internet access and a successful entrepreneur, Brewster Kahle has spent his career intent on a singular focus: providing universal access to all knowledge. He is the founder and digital librarian of the Internet Archive, one of the largest libraries in the world. Soon after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he studied artificial intelligence, Kahle helped found the company Thinking Machines, a supercomputer maker. In 1989, Kahle created the Internet’s first publishing system called Wide Area Information Server (WAIS), later selling the company to AOL. In 1996, Kahle co-founded Alexa Internet, which helps catalog the Web, selling it to Amazon.com in 1999. The Internet Archive, which he founded in 1996, now preserves 25 petabytes of data — the books, Web pages, music, television, and software of our cultural heritage, working with more than 450 library and university partners to create a digital library, accessible to all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . About the Internet Archive The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library founded by Brewster Kahle in 1996 with the mission to provide “Universal Access to All Knowledge.” The organization seeks to preserve the world’s cultural heritage and to provide open access to our shared knowledge in the digital era, supporting the work of historians, scholars, journalists, students, the blind and reading disabled, as well as the general public. The Internet Archive’s digital collections include more than 25 petabytes of data: 460 billion Web captures, moving images (2.2 million films and videos), audio (2.5 million recordings, 140,000 live concerts), texts (8 million texts including 3 million digital books), software (100,000 items) and television (3 million hours). Each day, 2-3 million visitors use or contribute to the archive, making it one of the world’s top 250 sites. It has created new models for digital conservation by forging alliances with more than 450 libraries, universities and national archives around the world. The Internet Archive champions the public benefit of online access to our cultural heritage and the import of adopting open standards for its preservation, discovery and presentation.

SF MusicTech Summit XVI on November 11, 2014 Hotel Kabuki, San Francisco, CA www.sfmusictech.com TITLE: "Internet Archive Presentation" SPEAKER: Brewster Kahle, Founder & Digital Librarian www.archive.org ************************* Recorded by Media One AV www.mediaoneaudio.com

Founder of Archive.org discusses the nonprofit’s plan to archive as much information as possible online, for all the world to share for freeTRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:You're listening to k a LX, Berkeley 90.7 FM and this has method to the madness to show from the public affairs department that celebrates the innovative spirit of the bay area. I'm your host Ali Nisar and today we have Brewster Kale to internet pioneer who is an engineer, entrepreneur, activists advocating for universal access to knowledge for all through his projects. The Internet archive. Stay with us. Speaker 2:We're trying to bring universal access to all knowledge. [00:00:30] Can we build the library of Alexandria version two can you actually take everything ever published? All books, music, video, software, webpages, anything ever meant for public distribution. Make it one, preserve it forever and to make it then available to anybody. Curious enough to want to have access to. So that's the, that's the basic worldview that we're part of a, we're not trying to solve the whole thing, but anything that's missing, we want to try to get to that [00:01:00] goal. That's such an amazing and inspirational vision. I mean, cause it's almost impossible to catalog everything. I would think that's actually quite possible. Yeah, you kind of have that. It's not infinite. It's not, it's not at all. Um, so if you take, um, oh, I don't know, take, take the library Congress for the largest book or print library in the world and by far about 28 million books. Speaker 2:The next ones down are things like, uh, the British library, [00:01:30] the uh, Harvard and New York public library in there and kind of half the size and lead. So the library can exchange gimmick. But if you take a book, it's about a megabyte, about a megabyte, a book. So if you have 28 million megabytes, it goes mega, Giga, Tera, 28 terabytes. And that's 20 terabytes is seven hard drives that you can buy in best buy. And that means in one shopping cart for less than you pay in rent in a month. You get out of all [00:02:00] of the disc storage. I would store all the words in the library of Congress. Speaker 1:Okay, Speaker 2:let's do, and if you do out the math on the other things like movies and music and web pages, it's all completely within our grants. It's just cause the tech, techno, the technical guys have gotten data storage to be so, so dense. And then the access part is this internet. The idea of, of getting it to somebody in Kenya or East Oakland is completely possible. So when did you begin the process? [00:02:30] I this, this really crystallized for me back in 1980 to go and build, uh, try to build the library, but there were a lot of things missing. So I tried to help build some of those, those pieces, uh, leading up to a system that came before the worldwide web, uh, called ways to try to get people to come online in an open way, but the web was better. Um, so I've jumped onto that and then, um, built a couple of companies along the way to try to get the publishers online. Speaker 2:Um, but by 19, 1996, [00:03:00] things were going, uh, well enough. All the Polish was getting online and the basic infrastructure was moving along. And not just because of me, but because of the, everybody was working together towards building that I could say, okay, let's build the library. So we started collecting the World Wide Web and this new organization called the Internet Archive, archive.org and we started archiving the world wide web and we tried to build robot crawlers. Basically the same things that operate the search engines, like Google the disco and visit every [00:03:30] website and download every webpage. And we would basically do every webpage from every website every two months. Then we'd start again and do it again. Do it again, do it again. Do it again. Cause that long it takes to crawl a wet, that's how long we give it. And then because the web is effectively infinite, you know, that was my question that it's, you know, there's these sites that just play chess with you. Speaker 2:So I mean, so you know, there's infinite numbers of, of computer generated web pages. Um, but yeah, it takes us [00:04:00] about two months to go and gather up what it is. It's in a modern search engine. How do you determine which sites are, are um, are we trying to do order the you archive? We tried to do, we tried to do all of them. We biased towards the popular ones. So, uh, we tried to get something from everybody. And then for the, uh, ones that are used a lot, then those are the ones we try to go deeper, but we're talking hundreds of millions of websites. We, we now have 240 billion [00:04:30] pages. Um, and in 19,001 we made a way back machine, so you could go to archive.org and type in a URL. And, um, if we have it, we'll show you all the different versions we have. Speaker 2:You can start clicking around and seeing the web as it was. So the idea of, of preserving this amazing thing that we're building, which is this worldwide web is quite doable even by a nonprofit. So we started working with the library of Congress. We worked with a bunch of different national libraries. [00:05:00] We work with about 200 university libraries, um, and state libraries and archives that they help fund bits and pieces of the Internet archive on the, on the web collection. It's completely exciting and it's working. Uh, we get about a half a million people a day using just the way back machine itself. And so it's a popular resource, uh, out there. But then we thought, okay, well what's this is going along. What else is there to do? So the, another endangered medium was a television and I've had a love [00:05:30] hate relationship with television, uh, burn television anyway. Speaker 2:Said, hey, I watched too much growing up, but it is still a very influential purse, pervasive and persuasive medium. And nobody else seemed to be in the cultural areas, seem to be doing a good archive of it. So in the year 2000, we started, we hit the record button and we started quoting 20 channels, 24 hours a day, DVD quality, so Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Iraqi, Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, ABC, Fox, whatever, [00:06:00] all these. And then just crunched forward. We're now up to around a hundred channels from 35 countries. Um, and we made these available just a few months ago. Um, at least the television news from the United States from the last three years. We wanted everyone to be, uh, uh, John Stewart Research Department before the last election so that people could go and type in words to try to find out what did their, what did politicians say before about particular [00:06:30] things would have pundits say. Speaker 2:So you could basically go and quote and compare and contrast the elements that require, are required for critical thinking. So we wanted this to happen, so we made this available, um, publicly, and you can get 32nd snippets of these, um, news programs and you can watch those. And if you want the whole program, then we print it on a DVD and send it to you. I charge 25 bucks. So the idea is to try to get this, um, uh, ecosystem to work. [00:07:00] So documentaries can come out and it makes it easier for people to look at television news and critique it because otherwise it just flows over and it's just, these guys can say anything they want and get away with it. So how are we going to basically hold them accountable? Um, make it so that this, these materials are referenceable and making it by URL. Speaker 2:So you can go and refer into news over a period of time. So it's really fascinating. I, I, I wonder though, if you could explain to us about, um, by copyrights. Yeah. So, [00:07:30] so, you know, you mentioned a lot of big net television networks, right? Um, that probably, you know, they have ownership over the content in some way, or how does that work? Um, well, everything's copyrighted forever, it seems, or at least, I don't know, I am not a lawyer on this stuff, but we are a library and the libraries have copyrighted materials. So that's what, that's what libraries are full of. And there are certain things libraries can do with them. Um, for instance, lends, I'm out. So let's take books. So we digitize books, [00:08:00] we've digitized a couple million bucks, uh, and we give them away for free. And so they can be downloaded in bulk. Speaker 2:Uh, we think that that's very important. It's kind of a counter to some of the project by Google with their, with those libraries. Uh, and we worked with the University of California and we had a scanning center in Richmond, California and at UCLA, uh, digitizing books. And we digitized about 300,000 books from, um, those collections. And they're available for free on the net, uh, [00:08:30] for any use at all. Cause they were old enough to be out of copyright. But for the newer ones, the ones since 1923, a lot of them's have rights problems. So we digitize these also, um, largely based on book people donating the books to us and then we make them available to the blind and dyslexic and because we can, so the blind and dyslexic, if they are blind for the library of Congress to get a access, they can have access to now 500,000 [00:09:00] modern books all the way through Harry Potter or whatever, uh, to be able to have, um, free, uh, and easy access to these materials. Speaker 2:But then we wanted to go further than that. Um, so for the books from the 20th century that we've scanned for the 21st century, we would try to buy books and then lend them out one at a time. So there's only one person who can have a copy at a time using the same controls. The publishers use to control the distribution of their imprint works. So [00:09:30] we, we buy these books and we lend them out, but the publishers are selling that many books yet. Um, so we've digitized a lot of these books, let's say from the 20th century and then we lend them out. So you can go to open library.work, which is another side of ours. And then you can go and click and download a pdf of this. But it's one of these special weird PDFs from Adobe that melt in your hands after two weeks, self-destruct, say self-destruct in that sort of a mission, impossible kind of way. Speaker 2:Or you can [00:10:00] check it out and read it on the screen and then while you're reading it on the screen, nobody else can check it out. If you check it back in and then somebody else can use it. And if you forget to check it back in, then it automatically is checked back in so you don't get any library fees and it, um, uh, then somebody else can check it out. And we get, Oh, a couple thousands of 3000 people checking out a book a day. Um, uh, I think so on that order. So you can sound like a member of the archive just like, yeah, you get a library card, it's free. So if you've got an open library.org [00:10:30] you can go and borrow books. If you've got an archive.org you can borrow TV programs. Um, and on the website on the way back machine that's just free and open use. Speaker 2:Um, is there a legal entity for a library or is it just the kind of no, you walk out like a duck, quacks like a duck, you're a library. So, uh, but uh, we were actually, um, there is a particular regulation to be able to get some bandwidth subsidy. Um, you have to get the state librarian [00:11:00] to go and say that your library and California State Library and Susan Hildreth time, uh, said that we were a library, which actually turned out to be very helpful because at one point this, the FBI came and wanted, actually demanded information about a patron and what that patron had done on the Internet archive. And well, libraries have a long history of not liking these sorts of requests. Um, and, but it was done with the Patriot Act, these national security letters with a gag [00:11:30] order. So they basically, they said, okay, you're going to have to give us this information and never tell anybody that you've even been asked this question. Speaker 2:And, um, well it turns out that there's no way to say, uh, no. Can we ask a court from this or anything like that? They said, the only way you can say to pushback, uh, we were advised by the electronic frontier foundation and the was you had to sue the United States government. So we sued the United States government with, with their help [00:12:00] and um, uh, and we won. The FBI backed off immediately. They didn't really need that information. Um, and so we are, uh, so they backed off. Um, and one of the things that was to our advantage was that we were a library. Oh. So because of the state library in it. Yes. There that had verified for this particular use that we were library. But, but there are no real laws saying what a library is. Pretty much you can tell [00:12:30] when you see him. Speaker 1:You're listening to k a LX, Berkeley 90.7 FM university and listener supported radio. This is method to the madness and show from the public affairs department that explores the innovative spirit of the bay area. I'm your host. Tallinn is our, thanks for joining me. And today we've been speaking with Brewster Kale, Internet legend and founder of the Internet archive about open access information and his project [00:13:00] to catalog the output of humanity back to our interview. Yeah. So I mean, just the, the scope of the operation in terms of bandwidth and storage. Um, could you ever dreamed when you, when you envision this in 1980 that these types of um, Speaker 2:oh yeah, it's all very predictable. We're, we're pretty much on path. I mean, it was [00:13:30] these discussions, um, back in like 1883 with Richard Feinman, a physicist and, uh, with, with Stephen Wolfram who, who's gone on to make Mathematica and, and things like that. Yeah. We did not the, the, the, the church and sort of when would we be able to have it be cheap enough to put all books online and when would movies and when would all these other things come online? Yeah, we're pretty much on, uh, on the path detection a little slower than we predicted. So actually I would've imagined we'd be here [00:14:00] by now. It's certainly is assumed. I mean, if I, I talked to yet, you know, younger people, they think, isn't it the library of Congress already online? And I was like, ah, you know, it's really not. And uh, Eh, the Internet's still fairly thin in terms of the information that's on it. Speaker 2:If you really know some subject area, you can look around, there's something on everything, but there's not the depth. Um, so that's the key thing that we've got to do now is fill out the rest of, of what [00:14:30] the best we have to offer. How do we make it so that everything that we'd want is online. So we digitize, if you take the total goal and see books of 10 million books, the library, Congress, 28 million, 10 million book libraries and good solid library, that's the University of California system or Princeton or um, uh, Corey Yale. It's sort of a 10 million book collection. Um, we're at about 2.5 million, so we're a quarter [00:15:00] of the way there. How many per day? We're doing about a thousand to 1500 a day. How does it happen? Um, there are scanning centers in 33 libraries around in eight countries around the world that are operated by the Internet archive. Speaker 2:And, uh, these are scanners that were designed and built by some burning man guys, uh, over in Berkeley. Um, and there are two digital cameras that take pictures of each page. We raised them over a glass to flatten the page, to get a good image. [00:15:30] Um, and basically you can digitize a book in about an hour, all told the cataloging and the whole Shebang. Q and a is searchable. And then it's then it's put to a computer and it munches on it for about 12 hours. It makes it then searchable. It does the optical character recognition. It makes it into PDFs and into the talking books for the blind, um, on and on the all these different formats. And it makes it as available as possible and copies it to another, uh, storage computer in a backup computer in two different locations. [00:16:00] So in case things go down or things disappear. Speaker 2:Um, so the idea is to, to try to give a permanent access to this book and it's now in its digital form. The physical book is not damaged, so we don't break the books. Um, we're kind of obsessive about books. We love books. So, uh, and for the books that don't go back on the library shelves, we actually go and store and, um, have done high density storage in Richmond, California. So we have a [00:16:30] warehouse that now has 600,000 books and it's growing at a couple thousand a day of books that are donated from all sorts of places. And we want one copy of every book ever published so that we can digitize it, um, and either put it back on the library shelf or put it back away. So every book ever published, I mean, that's not infinite, but it's a huge number. Like how do you know what the number is? Speaker 2:Well, I very countered is 28 million. It's probably not that much bigger than that. So maybe, you know, what, 50 million, I'm talking [00:17:00] millions western history or everything. Everything. Yeah. Just go back to Sumerian tablets. I mean, it's, it's not, it's just from a computer perspective, it's not that big. And if you take the same movies, um, the, the number of movies that have been made for theatrical releases, their couple, 100,000 of them, and that's kind of it cause they're expensive to make. And, uh, actually about half of them are Indian. So, uh, so the idea of even doing the whole movies is [00:17:30] quite doable. Um, music, well during the disk era, two 78 long playing records and cds, few million. And that's kind of the number of published. There are gigs that people, you know, play in local bars. So a lot of them aren't recorded, but we have 100,000 concert recordings, uh, from about 5,000 bands. Speaker 2:There was a tradition started by the grateful dead of doing tape trading. Um, so as that moved down [00:18:00] to the Internet, people started trading on the online and so we offered to, to play a host to these materials as long as nobody got upset if people wanted it to happen. And we get two or three bands a day, I'm saying yes, we're up for this. And the fans themselves go and put the materials on the Internet archive sites. So for not archive.org we've got everything the grateful dead has ever done, plus about 5,000 other bands that make something about a hundred thousand concert recordings. So that finding [00:18:30] those ways of working with the system such that we're not trying to interrupt a commerce, we're just trying to be aligned. Great. Just a digital one. Yeah, so there's, there's this sounds like there's a crowdsourcing element you got, you're uploading a lot of information. Oh, absolutely. Thousands of things a day get uploaded at the Internet archive and then they're different from what goes up on Youtube. I mean, if you [inaudible] it's sometimes not as easy to find, you know, whatever, but at least they're there for the long term. Speaker 3:[00:19:00] Okay. Speaker 1:You're listening to k a l ex perfectly in 90.7 FM university in listener supported radio and this is method to the madness, the show from the public affairs department that explores the innovative spirit of the day area. I'm your host. Tallinn is Ark. Thanks for joining me. And today we've been speaking with Brewster Kale, Internet legend and founder of the Internet archive back to our interview. So my listeners understand the context too. Yeah, there's [00:19:30] a really tragic story of Aaron Schwartz that just happened right now. And so there is this question of public domain information and what's open. Can you as a leader at the vanguard of this movement, can you just explain it a little bit about his story? [inaudible] Speaker 2:what a tragedy. Aaron Short is, squirts a good friend and he worked here at the Internet Archive, was a, uh, was the guiding light. Um, he sort of entered the field when he was 14 years old and helped form creative Commons. And when we did the Internet [00:20:00] bookmobile making free books for people, he was involved in and playing a role peripheral at that, at that realm. But he was central towards this be creating of the creative comments, which is kind of 14, 15, 16 years old. Um, and he lived a very public life. He would just publish everything. You sort of lived on the net. He was, I learned what an open source life was like by watching him. Um, so he didn't really have [00:20:30] private journals. He kept it public. Um, and he strove to bring public access to the public domain. And you think that this is, of course, you know, if it's public domain, there'd be public access to it. Speaker 2:And I was like, well, there's some people that aren't that interested in it and he ran up against them. So he made a court records available that were being sold by the government to try and make cost recovery. So he would, uh, made a system to try to make it, [00:21:00] um, such the court documents that were public domain went onto the Internet archive. And this was working with some folks at Princeton and Carl Malamud who lives up in Sebastopol, um, the Internet archive all working together on this. But he did it so fast because he was a good, good at writing script that, uh, the library that he was downloading them from, um, got noticed by the database provider, which I happened to be the government [00:21:30] and they called the FBI on them, called the FBI on somebody to go and, because they're reading the public domain too fast, but this is what happened. Speaker 2:And then, uh, the FBI found that they didn't have anything that could, uh, Hassell this, um, guy with. So there wasn't an ongoing investigation. And then Aaron, uh, wanted to bring public access to the Google books that were done, um, that were in copyright, that were digitized from places like Berkeley [00:22:00] and others. And, uh, and so he went and freed those. And actually there's Google to their credit, didn't complain. Um, but the library, some of the libraries complained to us because Aaron went and put those books on the Internet archive again and we pointed back to Google to see where they came from. And, um, but they're public domain and so was basically just liberating the public domain. And when Aaron started downloading a lot of journal literature from a, from a digital library called j store, [00:22:30] um, a nonprofit, uh, j store got all upset and, uh, told MIT, which is where it was going, it was being downloaded. Speaker 2:There's somebody that's downloading too many articles. And I, MIT went chase down, uh, Aaron and, uh, I think made the tragic mistake of calling the cops. And once the cops were involved and they escalated to the federal government and the federal government put into the secret service and [00:23:00] they made a federal case out of some young guy going and downloading too many old journal articles, um, and not even making them publicly available, maybe it would have made me window. But, um, what's the, what's the problem? And this went on for a couple of years and um, according to the family and his girlfriend made him so depressed and really dragged him down that had contributed to deciding to commit suicide last week. And, [00:23:30] uh, absolutely tragedy. So real starve our community and the federal government came down on somebody. I was trying to do something fundamentally good. And actually it's something that happens all day long every day. People are downloading masses of things from the Internet archive and other digital libraries all the time. And for some reason, um, they thought this kid should be stopped. Speaker 1:And it's so counterintuitive and it's public domain information. That's what I think [00:24:00] as, as you know, people who are growing up on the Internet [inaudible] people at some of the show of students, they don't know anything besides having this wonderful tool at their disposal and find all the information I think could possibly ever want. But it seems with this story and where, you know, it highlights the fact that this isn't something we should take for granted. It's something that we actually actively protecting and fighting for. Speaker 2:Yes, we should be actively protecting the Wikipedia is the Erin Schwartz is the, uh, uh, I'd say [00:24:30] the Internet Archive, the um, uh, Carl Malamud's public, um, public resource.org, um, that are people that are trying to build open access models. This, this bunch in the bay area. There's the Public Library of science, which is trying to, uh, get around the monopoly of, of some of these journal publishers that are, um, not allowing, um, new computer research data mining techniques to be applied. So [00:25:00] there's a real problems to what's going on out there. And there's a schism. There's a, there's a conflict and the Aaron Schwartz suicide, I think really highlighted that we're not out of the woods, but there are people that want to lock everything down and want cell phones that you can't go and play with you. You want to make it so that you can't go and install any software you want to on a computer, um, that you can't just read anything. Or if you do read anything that they'll know about it. And, and that this type of thing has got [00:25:30] to stop. It really doesn't lead to a world that we want to live in. Speaker 1:Well, thank you so much for your time today. I really appreciate it. And you know, as someone who's created a organization that is really dedicated to trying to advance, you know, the acquisition of knowledge for the human race, I wanted to ask you, how do you create an organization that endorsed, like obviously when you're trying to do is create something that goes on Speaker 2:forever? Um, yes. Well, archive.org and open library.org. [00:26:00] Well they go on forever. I hope so. But the, what happens to libraries is they're burned historically. That's just what happens. So library, Congress has already burned once. Library of Alexandria of course is famous for not being around anymore. So designed for it. So make copies. Um, so put other copies in other places. So we've already donated, um, early on about 10 years ago, a full copy of, of the web collection to the library of Alexandria in Egypt. [00:26:30] And there's a partial copy of our, uh, our collections in Amsterdam. So when there are five or six of these around the world and I think I can sleep cause the, what happens is they burn and they're burned by governments. Now it's not a political statement, it's just historically what happens. The new guys don't like the old stuff around theirs, sorry about it afterwards and they, you know, 50 or a hundred years from then they tend to want to have it back. Speaker 2:Um, but often it's too late. But if we had other copies and [00:27:00] other places we could make this work and this takes real work, real, um, real money effort, um, could use all the help we could. Uh, any, any volunteers or any effort from the University of California community? Um, we're just over in San Francisco. We'd love to have visits. We'd love to have five ways to work with more people. Great. That's a great segue to my last question and how do I, if our listeners want to get involved in fighting this good fight, how do they get involved? Um, [00:27:30] please visit archive.org and open library.org. Um, take a look. Play around with it. Try uploading some things. Are you downloading some things? If you're, um, if you've got extra books we want, well, we'll preserve one of every different book that we can get Ahold of. We only have 600,000, so we probably don't have the books that you've got. Um, we could use volunteer effort. We could, uh, people do collections, technical people, all sorts of mechanisms of getting [00:28:00] involved in the Internet archive and the open access movement in general. Okay, great. Well, thanks so much for sharing. Thank you very much. Speaker 1:You've been listening to method to the madness on k a l x Berkeley 90.7 FM. Thanks for joining us and thanks to Brewster Kale, as he's mentioned, you can learn more about his organization, archive.org. You'll learn more about us and method to the medis.org.

- "Station Manager Ken Interviews Brewster Kahle, Founder of Archive.org" http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/46237

As founder and librarian of the storied Internet Archive (deemed impossible by all when he started it in 1996), Brewster Kahle has practical experience behind his universalist vision of access to every bit of knowledge ever created, for all time, ever improving. He will speak to questions such as these: Can we make a distributed web of books that supports vending and lending? How can our machines learn by reading these materials? Can we reconfigure the information to make interactive question answering machines? Can we learn from past human translations of documents to seed an automatic version? And, can we learn how to do optical character recognition by having billions of correct examples? What compensation systems will best serve creators and networked users? How do we preserve petabytes of changing data?

Brewster Kahle - Open Access Week 2011

Brewster Kahle, who has pioneered efforts to digitize written information, wants to save a hard copy of every book. Larry Greenemeier reports

Drew gives George the week off by making this an all-interview episode (3 of the interviews that Drew conducted while attending RootsTech 2011 in Salt Lake City earlier in the month).  The interviews were with: Louise St Denis, Director of the National Institute for Genealogical Studies (www.genealogicalstudies.com), an educational organization affiliated with the University of Toronto.  NIGS has just acquired the social networking site Genealogy Wise. Brewster Kahle, Chairman of the Internet Archive (www.archive.org) and long-time Internet entrepreneur and activist. Anne Roach, Chair of RootsTech 2011 (rootstech.familysearch.org).

Brewster Kahle, from Internet Archive, discusses the importance of internet archiving and asks the question: how do we manage books in a virtual world? (January 20, 2010)

Vanessa and Alexander are interviewing Brewster Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive, who speaks about his efforts to collect all the published works of mankind.

Bernard Margolis was President of the Boston Public Library (BPL) from 1997-2008. Founded in 1848, the BPL was the first large free municipal library in the United States. Mr. Margolis has served on the Governing Council of the 63,000-member American Library Association (ALA), and has won many awards including “Colorado Librarian of the Year", two John Cotton Dana library public relations awards, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts' “Award of Excellence? for his library-sponsored “Imagination Celebration." He's also a master storyteller as you'll find out. We talk here about libraries as a public good, a culture of words and books designed to help everyone improve their lives, French ventriloquist and originator of the concept of the modern library Alexandre Vattemare (1796-1864), the U.S. as a leader in realizing this concept, immigration and self learning, an informed citizenry as the best defense of liberty, democratic access to information, BPL as the first to have a newspaper room, branch libraries and a separate children's room, the Red Sox and the Yankees, why the ebook hasn't replaced the paperback, Brewster Kahle versus Google and the Internet archive, and the question of whether or not information will be ‘free for all' to improve the world.
