To this day the false notion exists that men can't be considered manly and heroic and tough if they're homosexual. This has led to great deal of spilled ink and consternation when evidence has indicated that one of England's great warrior kings, Richard the Lionheart, may well have enjoyed the company of other men. Was King Richard the first what we might now identify as queer? And perhaps more importantly, why is this something that people of the past or of today might care about.In this episode historian Hilary Rhodes helps me contextualize the issues surrounding Richard's sexuality during his lifetime and beyond.Rhodes, H.

Today's episode features guest host, Michael Upshall, Community and Outreach Manager at Core, who talks with Thomas Krichel, Founder, Open Library Society. Thomas Krichel is a digital librarian and a pioneer of scholarly repositories. In this conversation, Thomas discusses the development and significance of REPEC, a digital library for economics, which he founded in 1997. He explains the role of working papers in the research process, the importance of open access, and the innovative features of RePEc compared to other platforms. Today, RePEc holds millions of articles, yet has only a handful of people directly involved in its administration. Thomas also addresses the challenges of funding and sustainability, the impact of rankings on participation, and the future of current awareness systems in academia.

There are some parallels between historical witch trials and trials of non-human animals in the same period, with a lot of the same procedures as were used when human beings were charged with a crime.

I'm joined by Richard Hopkins-Lutz and Mike Nichols (with a special guest cameo by Allen Wright) to discuss the six part mini series "The Legend of Robin Hood" from 1975, a series that forced us to have a reckoning with just how we've been reviewing and discussing the Robin Hood media we've encountered up until this point! We'll also get into a surprising amount of Blake's 7 discussion. Or perhaps not so surprising, if you're acquainted with the work of Paul Darrow...Following Wolf's Head, this is our second take on a grittier Robin Hood, but our first that presents us with a King Richard I who isn't unambiguously heroic.If you'd like to watch along, all six episodes can be found on YouTube:The Legend of Robin HoodTo read more about the sexual preferences of King Richard and how they have been interpreted, and politicized through the centuries: Rhodes, H.

Ett frö är en förhoppning om det som en dag ska gro, men det rymmer också information om det som har varit. På så vis liknar de idéer från tidigare kulturer, reflekterar Johan Landgren. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vad är ett frö, egentligen? Jag sitter vid köksbordet. Runt omkring mig ligger små påsar och burkar utspridda. Vissa med vackra målningar av grönsaker, andra hemvikta med nästintill oläsliga tecken på. Någonstans mellan femtio och hundra sorter skulle jag gissa att det är. I antal utgör de tusentals fröer. Vart och ett av dem bär inom sig en förhoppning. Att det en dag ska gro. Slå rot. Växa till. Bli något mer. Man kanske kan kalla det ett slags tro?Samtidigt, utanför fönstret, flyger fåglar i skytteltrafik mellan äppelträdets grenar och matstationen. Entita, blåmes, talgoxe, bergfink. För dem är frön något ytterst substantiellt: mat. Överlevnad för dagen. Enligt den brittiska intresseföreningen för fåglar, British Trust for Ornithology, behöver en blåmes energi motsvarande 24 solrosfrön, en femtedel av dess vikt, varje dag. Fröna på bordet framför mig skulle alltså kunna göda en blåmesfamilj en hel vinter! Om blåmesarna kan tänka sig att byta till en mer varierad diet, vill säga. För just de här fröerna har jag dock andra planer.Sedan femton år tillbaka kommer en del av den energi jag stoppar i mig från min egen trädgård. Jag odlar, mestadels sådant som går att äta. Det gör att jag samlat på mig en del fröer genom åren. Dels köpta, dels skördade på plats, dels tillbytta. Under denna period har jag också, den hårda vägen, lärt mig att fröförvaring är en konst. Och att jag definitivt är en amatör.I den byrå i vardagsrummet där jag förvarar mina fröer, i vilken temperaturen över året växlar mellan 15 och 30 grader, förlorar de flesta fröer sin förmåga att gro inom en femårsperiod. Vissa tidigare än andra. Exempelvis kan man undra hur palsternackan har kunnat klara sig i konkurrensen när dess grobarhet sjunker rejält redan efter ett års lagring. Att den därtill, i likhet med de flesta rötter vi odlar här i norr, inte sätter frö förrän andra året gör den inte till den enklaste grönsak att kultivera på egen hand. Mycket lättare är det med andra, som till exempel pumpa och tomat. Vad gäller dessa kan man både äta och ha kakan kvar. Varje fruktkropp innehåller mängder av fröer som enkelt kan torkas och sparas för eget bruk.Några som länge fått äran för att förvara fröer på ett exemplariskt vis är de gamla egyptierna. Enligt historien, som arkeologen Gabriel Moshenka undersöker närmare i en artikel om fröhistoria och myten om mumievetet, lyckades forskare i mitten av 1800-talet odla vete från fröer hittade i Cheopspyramiden. Som Moshenka visar är tyvärr hela historien en myt, och en synnerligen långlivad sådan. Än idag används den i olika sammanhang som en symbol för livskraft och återuppståndelse. En lämplig grogrund för att, som Moshenka uttrycker det, svindla turister, trädgårdsmästare och bönder. Som så mycket annat säljer fröer bättre om de serveras med en riktigt bra historia. Tilläggas bör kanske att egyptiernas tanke med att placera frö i sina gravkammare knappast var att fröerna, tusentals år senare, skulle planteras av ett gäng bleka kolonisatörer hundratals mil norrut. Fröna var tänkta för livet på andra sidan, i vilket grobarheten torde förhålla sig till helt andra parametrar än våra.Ett mer naturvetenskapligt förhållningssätt till frökonservering hittar man hos ”Svalbard Global Seed Vault”, ett internationellt frösamarbete finansierat av norska staten och administrerat av Nordiskt genresurscentrum. Frövalvet, som ligger någon kilometer utanför Longyearbyn, invigdes 2008 och består av ett antal lagerrum som sprängts ut 120 meter in berggrunden. På grund av permafrosten har lokalerna närmast perfekta förhållanden: låg luftfuktighet och en konstant temperatur på –18 grader. Även utan tekniska hjälpmedel kan man där förvara en stor del av världens frösorter på ett sätt som gör att de kan övervintra i hundratals år. Till Frövalvet kan stater vända sig för att säkerställa att lokala frösorter inte förloras för alltid, i händelse av storskaliga naturkatastrofer eller långvariga krig. För några år sedan kunde man läsa i dagstidningarna att ett första sådant uttag av fröer gjorts, av Syrien, några år efter att den egna fröbanken hamnat mitt i stridslinjen.Liksom fröförvaring är en konst är fröodling det. Visst går det att plocka en kärna från ett äpple du just köpt och stoppa ned den i jorden. Den kommer troligen att gro, och om förutsättningarna är någorlunda gynnsamma, växa upp till ett äppelträd. Men med största sannolikhet kommer det inte ge samma sorts frukt som den du just ätit, då äppelblomman som fröet härstammar från pollinerats av pollen från blommor på andra äppelsorter med delvis andra genuppsättningar. Kanske blir det ändå ett gott äpple, och en helt ny sort är född.Jag sitter med mina fröer. Väger dem i handen, mäter dem mellan fingertopparna. Allt som göms i dem. Inte bara gener, utan också information om vad vart och ett av fröna varit med om. Jordmån, vattentillgång, temperatur är registrerad. På så sätt liknar fröna de idéer från tidigare kulturer, nedtecknade på papyrusblad och pergament, som vi ännu idag går tillbaka till. Hoprullade skrifter. Också för de flesta av dem är originalen sedan länge förlorade. Vi vet till exempel inte vad som inspirerade Hesiodos att i ”Verk och dagar”, på sjungande hexameter, nedteckna en lång rad instruktioner och förmaningar om konsten att odla. Eller vilka odlingsexperiment som föregick Columellas lexikon om romerskt jordbruk, ”De Re Rustica”. De manuskript som existerar idag är till största del traderade kopior av tidigare manuskript, vilka nedtecknats och sparats i bibliotek runt om i världen.Och även om det största av biblioteken, det i Alexandria, brann upp, och med det många oersättliga tankar och idéer, är det tack vare de bibliotekarier och skrivare som arbetade där, och på andra platser i det vidsträckta romerska riket, som ändå något finns kvar. Vi kanske inte vet exakt vad som ligger bakom Hesiodos och Columellas tankegods – men vi har det viktigaste kvar – idéerna. På samma sätt är det med äpplen och päron, palsternackor och pumpor. Vi kan inte med säkerhet veta deras ursprung, men vi kan ta ett bett av dem. Känna smaken och konsistensen. Låta dem fylla magsäcken. Sönderdelas och spridas i kroppen.Skicka därför, när du smälter maten, en tanke till alla dåtida, nutida och framtida fröarkivarier och bibliotekarier. Till Svalbard, som sägs vara säkrat även för de värsta klimatscenarierna. Och till biblioteken som i kulvertar runt om i världen, ofta djupt under jord, förvarar vårt tankegods till kommande generationer.Johan Landgren, poet och litteraturvetareLitteratur:Gabriel Moshenska: “Esoteric Egyptology, Seed Science and the Myth of Mummy Wheat”, Open Library of Humanities 3(1), 2017. https://doi.org/10.16995/olh.83Hesiodos: Theogonin samt Verk och dagar.

Casey Williams is a Lecturer in the Center for Environmental Studies at Rice University. His research examines the social and cultural dimensions of climate change and energy transition, especially the problem of “climate impasse” and the concept and possibility of a “just transition.” His writing on climate, energy and labor has appeared in The New York Times, The LA Review of Books, Radical Philosophy, Jacobin, Dissent, and elsewhere. Rhys Williams is a Lecturer at University of Glasgow who works on the intersection between fantasy, narrative and energy. His work also looks to get a better grasp on the relationship between ecology and infrastructure. He's a member of the Petrocultures Research Group and the After Oil Collective. He also organizes the Energy and Ecology Group in Glasgow. Right now a lot of his focus is on energy, infrastructure, food, and water. You can read some of that work in Open Library of Humanities and South Atlantic Quarterly.  I think one of the most important takeaways for me in this conversation was this idea that we need to leave more space for real deliberation in our politics, and that this actually means that we need to accept the fact of friction. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but what we call, in this conversation, “frictionful engagements” aren't really the norm in political communication. What we tend to get is a situation where frictionlessness is tacitly preferred, and so, in Casey's words, “Capital quietly takes the reins” and we're left with mechanisms that are meant to do all the heavy lifting in political decision-making. Rhys and Casey see ways that these mechanisms, especially financial mechanisms in the climate debate, really function like a narrative technique – it's the mechanism that has the agency, not us, and this is the narrative we've been largely sold: a kind of politics-without-politics. One of the other big things that I'd underline is Casey's challenge to those that engage with the climate crisis and who are worried about communicating the risks: he says that there is actually a real political risk involved in treating specific disasters as “metonymic representatives of the climate crisis as a whole.” When we bundle a highly localized disaster into an accumulation of disasters that tell us a story about the agglomeration of impacts and the climate emergency as a whole, Casey says we risk effacing the specificity of the struggles occurring at the local level: struggles not just against the impacts of a transforming climate, but also struggles for social and economic autonomy against global capitalism. I hadn't thought about it that way before and that sense of being responsible to the specificity of place is something I've definitely taken with me from this conversation. There's a few other things I'd mention: we talk about the “degrowth imaginary” and questions of the scale at which infrastructure ceases to be life-giving. We talk a lot about technology as a thing that gets privileged in science fiction and in popular discourse as a “driver of historical change.” There's quite a bit of discussion here about the social layers that get subsumed under technology as it gets fetishized in this way. Overall, too, there's a concern here with how we have been slowly abstracted from nature as such. How we've sealed ourselves off from it by instrumentalizing all the life around us, or as much of it as we can control and colonize and commodify. So, in the face of the real need to address the crisis of a destabilized climate system, they talk about what we should include in the discussion that too quickly gets displaced.

Ecco alcuni passi. Giusto per continuare con le novità, c'è un'interessante annuncio della causa che Internet Archive ha in corso negli stati uniti con delle case editrici riguardo al prestito elettronico di libri cartacei. La faccenda mi sta a cuore, ma dopo aver letto non sono nemmeno riuscito a capire se è una buona od una cattiva notizia. Qualcuno può aiutarmi, per favore? https://news.slashdot.org/stor... Publishers, Internet Archive agree to streamline digital book-lending case | Reutershttps://www.reuters.com/legal/... Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection | Reutershttps://www.reuters.com/legal/... Sono completamente d'accordo. Attenzione però che IA non è contestato come prestito di e-book normali. Loro agiscono come biblioteca per via digitale. Comprano un libro in n copie, lo digitalizzando e lo prestano contemporaneamente a massimo n persone, gestendo restituzione, prenotazione e code. Estrapolano un loro diritto protetto dalla legge al digitale. Per questo la questione è così pericolosa. L'invasione di campo la stanno facendo le major. Swaraji: Questo (Controlled Digital Lending) è già stato confermato dalla giurisprudenza. La causa con gli editori è per l'apertura incontrollata che IA ha fatto durante il covid. Valentino Spataro - IusOnDemand.com: Grazie. Ecco la fonte: https://www.theverge.com/2023/... Typically, the Internet Archive's Open Library program operates under a “controlled digital lending” (CDL) system where it can loan out digitized copies of a book on a one-to-one basis, but it removed those waitlists to offer easier access to those books when stay-at-home orders arrived during the pandemic. (CDL systems operate differently than services like OverDrive, which can lend you publisher-licensed ebooks.) Some weren't happy about the Internet Archive's choice, and the group of publishers sued the organization in June 2020. Later that month, the Archive shut down that program.

For 26 years, the Open Library of the San Francisco-based Internet Archive has been preserving millions of books and lending them out freely online. Last month, a federal judge sided with a group of book publishing giants – Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, and Wiley – that sued the nonprofit archive for “mass copyright infringement.” Publishers argued, and the court agreed, that the Open Library provided a way for libraries to avoid paying ebook licensing fees that generate substantial revenue for publishers. Internet Archive, whose mission is to provide “universal access to all knowledge,” said it will appeal the ruling. We'll talk about the dispute and explore how the lawsuit could set the stage for what book lending looks like in an increasingly digital era.

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

In cyberspace, no one can hear you read: Internet Archive offers 1.4 million copyrighted books for free online. Until this week, the Open Library only allowed people to "check out" as many copies as the library owned. Of course, these restrictions are artificial for digital files. Earlier this week, with libraries closing around the world, the Internet Archive announced a major change: it is temporarily getting rid of these waiting lists. They're calling it the National Emergency Library. The Internet Archive says the program will ensure students are able to get access to books they need to continue their studies from home during the coronavirus lockdown. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/03/internet-archive-offers-thousands-of-copyrighted-books-for-free-online/ Coronavirus Article: Coronavirus Will Change the World Permanently.

Robert Kaye is the executive director of the MetaBrainz Foundation, the legal umbrella for MusicBrainz. He got started in the late 80’s and early 90’s hacking on some MP3 projects when most of the world hadn’t heard of MP3. The metadata on MP3s was terrible, so he started creating the database known as MusicBrainz. Robert talks about his business model for MusicBrainz. As time has progressed, more and more people have access to a laptop and cheap recording equipment. This constant churn of data gave them the ability to play gatekeeper. Their goal was to take that data and make it cleaner, better, and provide context. In 2003 they started a service called Live Data Feed, which allows anyone to set up a copy of MusicBrainz. Turning on Live Data Feed gets you updates to your copy of MusicBrainz. The idea was to take the recognition they had around Live Data Feed and created monetary value from a service around timely and convenient packs of data. In 2015, MusicBrainz realized that the actual value they had wasn’t in the data, but in the community of people editing the data took. So, they took a radical step and quit caring about code licenses. Now, it is based off memberships with monthly fee. This has worked spectacularly. They have taken to calling their customers ‘supporters’, because if the database is going to stick around then they need their support.  BookBrainz is a similar project to the MusicBrainz database, but applied to books. The project has grown large enough that Robert had to hire a full time engineer to work on it. They deal with disambiguation, deduplication, and conflicts in the  metadata so that organizations like internet archives and Open Library can build other tools on top. For the past 4 years MetaBrainz has also been working on two other projects. AcousticBrainz is machine learning analysis applied to individual songs to determine what music sounds like. It can determine acoustic characteristics such as male or female vocals, presence of certain instruments, and beats per minute. ListenBrainz tracks your listening history, similar to LastFM. In fact, you can import your LastFM history into ListenBrainz and it will do a metadata report on what you’ve listened to. Robert notes that if you choose to learn ListenBrainz your data will be public. These two projects form the perfect basis for building a collaborative filtering algorithm and give you personalized suggestions of what you may also like. They also have a program to work with AcousticBrainz to track what you listen to and the similarities between the songs. They are currently working on compiling the data, but this open source project will enable anyone to come in and create an open source music recommendation engine. When building a recommendation engine, the idea is if there’s a small/medium music label with one computer geek on staff, they can get access to MusicBrainz and download their recommendation engine and start getting their stuff out there, and have it personalized to the listener. Robert’s inspiration for these databases came from seeing a lot more recommendation engines that are entirely biased and want to push their content. He realized that these recommendation engines were designed to feed money back into the system and keep everyone inside the ‘walled garden’ of music. He got funding for these projects through his good relationships with other companies and because they were giving him the money for MusicBrainz, which is enough money, so the extra money is funneled towards other projects. The MetaBrainz Foundation emphasizes quality of life for their employees, and Robert and the panelists discuss how he reconciles this quality of life versus the desire to get all this stuff out the door. Robert believes that if you trust your team and empower them to do what needs done, they will do their job. He only really gets involved if it’s legal concerns, monetary issues, or the rare high priority assignment. His company has few deadlines, and he talks about how they organize their work. The panel compares their experience working for other open source companies. They discuss some of the drawbacks of remote work, such as difficulty coordinating meetings and never really being disconnected from work. The show concludes with Robert talking about where he wants to take MusicBrainz and MetaBrainz. His dream is to create more tools for an improved music listening experience. His hidden agenda is to get the small bands heard so that musicians can make more money, elevating the artists in the world to be able to earn a normal living. He hopes that by applying the concepts of open source to the music industry, it will be cleaned up and all musicians will get the exposure they deserve.   Panelists Richard Littaur Piya With special guest: Robert Kaye Sponsors My Ruby Story Elixir Mix My Angular Story Links MetaBrainz Foundation Napster BookBrainz AcousticBrainz ListenBrainz LastFM Buffer Open Collective Follow DevChatTV on Facebook and Twitter Picks Richard Littaur: Brighde Chaimbeaul Piya: Snow Crush The Robot Museum Madrid Science and Technology Museum Robert Kaye: Passion by Peter Gabriel Casa de Papel Follow Robert @MayhemBCM and rob@metabrainz.org

He got started in the late 80’s and early 90’s hacking on some MP3 projects when most of the world hadn’t heard of MP3. The metadata on MP3s was terrible, so he started creating the database known as MusicBrainz. Robert talks about his business model for MusicBrainz. As time has progressed, more and more people have access to a laptop and cheap recording equipment. This constant churn of data gave them the ability to play gatekeeper. Their goal was to take that data and make it cleaner, better, and provide context. In 2003 they started a service called Live Data Feed, which allows anyone to set up a copy of MusicBrainz. Turning on Live Data Feed gets you updates to your copy of MusicBrainz. The idea was to take the recognition they had around Live Data Feed and created monetary value from a service around timely and convenient packs of data. In 2015, MusicBrainz realized that the actual value they had wasn’t in the data, but in the community of people editing the data took. So, they took a radical step and quit caring about code licenses. Now, it is based off memberships with monthly fee. This has worked spectacularly. They have taken to calling their customers ‘supporters’, because if the database is going to stick around then they need their support.  BookBrainz is a similar project to the MusicBrainz database, but applied to books. The project has grown large enough that Robert had to hire a full time engineer to work on it. They deal with disambiguation, deduplication, and conflicts in the  metadata so that organizations like internet archives and Open Library can build other tools on top. For the past 4 years MetaBrainz has also been working on two other projects. AcousticBrainz is machine learning analysis applied to individual songs to determine what music sounds like. It can determine acoustic characteristics such as male or female vocals, presence of certain instruments, and beats per minute. ListenBrainz tracks your listening history, similar to LastFM. In fact, you can import your LastFM history into ListenBrainz and it will do a metadata report on what you’ve listened to. Robert notes that if you choose to learn ListenBrainz your data will be public. These two projects form the perfect basis for building a collaborative filtering algorithm and give you personalized suggestions of what you may also like. They also have a program to work with AcousticBrainz to track what you listen to and the similarities between the songs. They are currently working on compiling the data, but this open source project will enable anyone to come in and create an open source music recommendation engine. When building a recommendation engine, the idea is if there’s a small/medium music label with one computer geek on staff, they can get access to MusicBrainz and download their recommendation engine and start getting their stuff out there, and have it personalized to the listener. Robert’s inspiration for these databases came from seeing a lot more recommendation engines that are entirely biased and want to push their content. He realized that these recommendation engines were designed to feed money back into the system and keep everyone inside the ‘walled garden’ of music. He got funding for these projects through his good relationships with other companies and because they were giving him the money for MusicBrainz, which is enough money, so the extra money is funneled towards other projects. The MetaBrainz Foundation emphasizes quality of life for their employees, and Robert and the panelists discuss how he reconciles this quality of life versus the desire to get all this stuff out the door. Robert believes that if you trust your team and empower them to do what needs done, they will do their job. He only really gets involved if it’s legal concerns, monetary issues, or the rare high priority assignment. His company has few deadlines, and he talks about how they organize their work. The panel compares their experience working for other open source companies. They discuss some of the drawbacks of remote work, such as difficulty coordinating meetings and never really being disconnected from work. The show concludes with Robert talking about where he wants to take MusicBrainz and MetaBrainz. His dream is to create more tools for an improved music listening experience. His hidden agenda is to get the small bands heard so that musicians can make more money, elevating the artists in the world to be able to earn a normal living. He hopes that by applying the concepts of open source to the music industry, it will be cleaned up and all musicians will get the exposure they deserve.

In an email to users, Smashwords stated, “The security team here at Smashwords has detected multiple attempts by cybercriminals attempting to log in to Smashwords author accounts using stolen email/password combinations…To date, we’re aware of two authors who were victimized. Working with our payments partner PayPal we managed to recover the funds for one author earlier today and will continue pressing them to do the same for the other.” The service assured users that they had not been hacked but they encourage Smashwords users to change their passwords to something secure and strong, right away. So how about you? Does this vulnerability impact you at all? https://goodereader.com/blog/indie-author-news/smashwords-was-not-hacked-but-change-your-passwordSFWA joins Author’s Guild and others to speak out about Open Library. The Internet Archive is back in the news again, as author groups speak out about alleged copyright infringement, thanks in large part to its Open Library initiative. The service was intended to be a sort of virtual library, where readers could check out works by various authors, and check them back in without retaining copies for themselves. Internet Archive holds to a somewhat sketchy position that if one has purchased the rights to a copy of the book, one is legally allowed to lend that book to others. What makes this tricky is, they’re right. Sort of. But the legality surrounding electronically transmitted copyrighted properties is still in a primordial ooze, with a lot of questions still to be answered. Many author groups, including SFWA and the Author’s Guild, see this as infringement, while some see it as functionally no different than services such as OverDrive, which allows libraries to purchase a license to distribute a book, and to distribute it in essentially the exact way Open Library is doing it. The key difference—Open Library is scanning legally purchased print books, as well as purchasing ebooks, to create its offering. So is this infringement? Is it violating copyright? Tell me in the comments. http://www.sfwa.org/2018/01/infringement-alert/Could Mickey Mouse become public domain? Probably not, but Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, is set to enter the public domain in 2024. This comes two decades after Disney and other entertainment industry giants successfully lobbied to have copyright extended by 20 years, even for work that had already been created. This was a blow to intellectual property law, which is essentially meant to encourage new and original works. Oddly, at the moment no one is pushing any legislation to extended these rights further, meaning properties created in 1923 and beyond will start entering public domain soon. And here, a happy time can be had by all, as artists, writers, filmmakers, and other creatives gain access to a wealth of old content they can bend, fold, mutilate, and remix into new content. Does this breathe life into past work, or perpetuate the entertainment industry’s habit of falling back to cultivated ground, rather than pushing ahead into new frontiers? You tell me, in the comments. https://boingboing.net/2018/01/08/sonny-bono-is-dead.htmlTHIS EPISODE OF THE WORDSLINGER PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY:Draft2Digital—Convert, publish, and distribute your book worldwide, with support the whole way. https://draft2digital.com/wordslingerKDP Rocket—Take control, get more readers, increase your Kindle rankings. https://bit.ly/kdpslinger Support this show: Subscribe and share!Support us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/kevintumlinsonPick something up to read that will be tough to put down—Archeological Thrillers, Science Fiction, YA Fantasy and more, at https://kevintumlinson.com/books ___GOT A QUESTION FOR KEVIN AND HIS GUESTS?CALL 281-809-WORD (9673)
