LibriVox Comment réussir dans un monde égoïste ? | Mutinerie : Libres ensemble Imaginez que vous soyez illustrateur et que vous ayez un projet de création d’une BD interactive pour tablette. Votre style est sûr, votre scénario est au point et vos planches sont bien avancées. Le problème, c’est que tout cela prendra beaucoup de temps et que que vous ne maitrisez pas les outils de développement nécessaires. La vie nous place souvent devant ce genre de situations délicates et il nous est parfois difficile de trouver la voie. Pour ceux qui auraient oublié, voici le dilemme en question : Deux suspects sont arrêtés par la police. S’il réfléchit de manière rationnelle, le prisonnier se rendra compte qu’il a intérêt à balancer son complice. Autrement dit, la somme de leurs décisions égoïstes et rationnelles n’aboutira pas à « l’intérêt général » des prisonniers mais au contraire à la pire décision possible … Comment éviter ce genre de phénomène ? Axelrod a commencé par se poser trois questions : Tous les environnements ne sont pas naturellement coopératifs.

Tyrannie du copyright By Robert S. BoyntonPublished: January 25, 2004 Last fall, a group of civic-minded students at Swarthmore College received a sobering lesson in the future of political protest. They had come into possession of some 15,000 e-mail messages and memos -- presumably leaked or stolen -- from Diebold Election Systems, the largest maker of electronic voting machines in the country. The memos featured Diebold employees' candid discussion of flaws in the company's software and warnings that the computer network was poorly protected from hackers. Unfortunately for the students, their actions ran afoul of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (D.M.C.A.), one of several recent laws that regulate intellectual property and are quietly reshaping the culture. After persistent challenges by the students -- and a considerable amount of negative publicity for Diebold -- in November the company agreed not to sue.

News: UC Joins Google Library Project The University of California is joining Google's book-scanning project, throwing the weight of another 100 academic libraries behind an ambitious venture that's under legal attack for alleged copyright infringement. The deal covers all the libraries in UC's 10-campus system, marking the biggest expansion of Google's effort to convert millions of library books into digital form since a group of authors and publishers sued last fall to derail a project launched 20 months ago. "We think this is a pretty significant step forward," said Adam Smith, the group product manager overseeing Google's book-scanning initiative. UC joins three other major U.S. universities — Stanford, Michigan and Harvard — that are contributing their vast library collections to Google's crusade to ensure reams of knowledge written on paper makes the transition to the digital age. The project is expected to last years and cost tens of millions of dollars — a bill that Google is footing.

Définition (en) What is "Free Culture?" Perhaps one could begin by asking, what does a free culture look like? If you like our answers to that question, or at least find them intriguing, then maybe you'll be interested in reading our attempts at nailing down some concrete parts of a definition of free culture. Like everything else on this site, it is a work in progress... feel free to contribute! Lessig's free culture - Lawrence Lessig coined the term, but how have we changed or expanded the meaning? Watch "Free Culture", a flash presentation (with mp3 audio and transcript) by Lawrence Lessig, to hear it from the man himself. Read the Free Culture Manifesto. Hey folks, check out this draft of a "What is FreeCulture.org?" Free Culture Intro Freeculture.org is the organizing center for a new student political movement, sitting at the intersection of technology and the arts.

Students for Free Culture Students for Free Culture is sometimes referred to as "FreeCulture", "the Free Culture Movement", and other variations on the "free culture" theme, but none of those are its official name. It is officially Students for Free Culture, as set for in the new bylaws that were ratified by its chapters on October 1, 2007, which changed its name from FreeCulture.org to Students for Free Culture.[3] Goals[edit] Students for Free Culture has stated its goals in a "manifesto": The mission of the Free Culture movement is to build a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, rather than a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. It has yet to publish a more "official" mission statement, but some of its goals are: Purpose[edit] According to its website,[5] Students for Free Culture has four main functions within the free culture movement: History[edit] Initial stirrings at Swarthmore College[edit] The OPG v.

Libre Accès : " Ni SACEM, Ni Jamendo ! " À l'heure où certaines menaces planent sur la neutralité d'internet, des modèles économiques de rémunération de la création commencent à s'affronter. Récemment, l'entreprise luxembourgeoise Jamendo a lancé un pavé dans la mare en annonçant son projet de sonoriser des lieux commerciaux avec de la musique provenant de sa plateforme. Ce projet entre directement en conflit avec la SACEM, qui jusqu'ici, en France était la seule interlocutrice de ces lieux. Nous assistons à une nouvelle forme de libéralisation de la culture, où une plateforme de musique en vient à commercialiser des œuvres en libre diffusion, en se posant comme concurrente d'une société de gestion de droits d'auteurs. Cette attaque d'une société commerciale démontre certainement le grand désarroi d'auteurs qui ne font plus confiance à une société de gestion censée les représenter. Il est dommageable que la politique de certaines Sociétés de Gestion en Europe ne semble pas plus morale que le business d'une startup internet.

Brief History Opening Space for Emerging Order Harrison Owen Open Space Technology, as a definable approach to organizing meetings has been in existence for somewhat more than a dozen years. Truthfully, I suspect it has been around as long as Homo sapiens has gathered for one purpose or another, from the days of the campfire circle onward. It is only that our modern wisdom has obfuscated what we already knew and have experienced from the beginning. In 1985, eighty-five brave souls, or there abouts, gathered in Monterey for The Third Annual International Symposium on Organization Transformation. And different it was. Observably, the operative mechanism was simplicity itself. For several years following, the annual symposium was conducted in a similar fashion. And then, in 1989, Open Space escaped. In subsequent years, the space has continued to open. "Doing the Job" begs for further specificity. It is reasonable to ask, what on earth is going on. What’s the secret? Now back to Open Space.

Qu'est-ce que c'est ? (en) A free culture is one where critics don't just vote thumbs-up or thumbs-down on a movie but seriously discuss how a movie could be improved -- and then someone reads their critique and goes out and does it. [1] [2] A free culture is one where being a cover band doesn't lose you any street cred compared to doing your own music from scratch -- and where it starts to become hard to tell the difference. [3] A free culture is one where bad old TV series and movies turn into brilliant remakes and fan fiction on a regular basis -- and bad remakes and fan fiction themselves generate brilliant ones after a few years. A free culture is one where making a tribute to your favorite book or speculating on a logical continuation of an existing book is just as legal as mocking and satirizing a bad book you don't like. [4] A free culture is one where anyone who wants to can try to build a better mousetrap -- and the world beats a network of paths connecting everyone's front door.

El derecho a leer - Proyecto GNU - Fundación para el software li Esta es una traducción de la página original en inglés. por Richard Stallman Inscríbase a nuestra lista de correo sobre los peligros de los libros electrónicos. Este artículo fue publicado en febrero de 1997 en Communications of the ACM (Vol. 40, Número 2). De El camino a Tycho, una colección de artículos sobre los antecedentes de la Revolución Lunar, publicado en Luna City en 2096. Para Dan Halbert el camino a Tycho comenzó en la universidad, cuando un día Lissa Lenz le pidió prestado el ordenador. Esto puso a Dan en un dilema. Además, no había muchas posibilidades de evitar que la SPA, Software Protection Authority (Autoridad de Protección del Software) lo descubriese. Quizá Lissa no pretendía leer sus libros. Más tarde Dan descubrió que había habido un tiempo en el que todo el mundo podía ir a una biblioteca y leer artículos, incluso libros, sin tener que pagar. Por supuesto que había formas de evitar los controles de la SPA y de la Oficina Central de Licencias, pero eran ilegales.

Home - AcaWiki Free Culture: Lawrence Lessig Keynote from OSCON 2002 Editor's Note: In his address before a packed house at the Open Source Convention, Lawrence Lessig challenges the audience to get more involved in the political process. Lawrence, a tireless advocate for open source, is a professor of law at Stanford Law School and the founder of the school's Center for Internet and Society. He is also the author of the best-selling book Code, and Other Laws of Cyberspace. Here is the complete transcript of Lawrence's keynote presentation made on July 24, 2002. Lawrence Lessig: I have been doing this for about two years--more than 100 of these gigs. Creativity and innovation always builds on the past. In 1774, free culture was born. These publishers, people whom Milton referred to as old patentees and monopolizers in the trade of book selling, men who do not labor in an honest profession (except Tim here), to [them] learning is indebted. Remember the refrain. That free culture was carried to America; that was our birth--1790. (Audience Applauds.)
