Anders Rydell, Sam Sundberg: Piraterna: De svenska fildelarna som plundrade Hollywood (2009) [Swedish]
Filed under book | Tags: · copyright, filesharing, intellectual property, internet, piracy, piratbyrån, pirate party, the pirate bay
The Pirate Bay, Piratpartiet och Piratbyrån befinner sig i främsta ledet av en global folkrörelse: alla de miljoner människor som fildelar. För vissa är piraterna hjältar, för andra är de terrorister som hotar att rasera hela musik- och filmbranschen. I Sam Sundbergs och Anders Rydells djuplodande reportage får läsaren lära känna piraterna – hur de lever, hur de tänker och vad som driver dem. Går det att stoppa dem, eller har illegal fildelning blivit så accepterat att det redan är för sent? Oavsett vad man tycker om den olagliga fildelningen så har den kommit att bli tjugohundratalets viktigaste svenska kulturexport.

Audiovisual Thinking: The Journal of Academic Videos, No. 2-3 (2010-2011)
Filed under journal | Tags: · copyright, identity, intellectual property, philosophy, virtual
Audiovisual Thinking is a leading journal of academic videos about audiovisuality, communication and media. The journal is a pioneering forum where academics and educators can articulate, conceptualize and disseminate their research about audiovisuality and audiovisual culture through the medium of video.
Issue 2: Rights and wrongs in the age of digital media
The second issue of Audiovisual Thinking focuses on how copyright and intellectual property issues relate to audiovisuality in general and academic video essays in particular.
Issue 3: The real, the virtual and the fictional
What is digital? What is virtual? How do the digital and the virtual relate to each other? Is virtual the opposite of real, or is it a subset of reality? And where in this does the fictional come in? Although philosophical, these issues have in many different ways impacted on how we think about identity, integrity, communication and media in this digital era we have created for ourselves.

David G. Post: In Search of Jefferson’s Moose: Notes on the State of Cyberspace (2009)
Filed under book | Tags: · cyberspace, database, dns, filesharing, intellectual property, internet, networks
A leading Internet authority applies the political thought of Thomas Jefferson to the issue of how cyberspace should be governed.
In 1787, Thomas Jefferson, then the American Minister to France, had the “complete skeleton, skin & horns” of an American moose shipped to him in Paris and mounted in the lobby of his residence as a symbol of the vast possibilities contained in the strange and largely unexplored New World. Taking a cue from Jefferson’s efforts, David Post, one of the nation’s leading Internet scholars, here presents a pithy, colorful exploration of the still mostly undiscovered territory of cyberspace–what it is, how it works, and how it should be governed.
What law should the Internet have, and who should make it? What are we to do, and how are we to think, about online filesharing and copyright law, about Internet pornography and free speech, about controlling spam, and online gambling, and cyberterrorism, and the use of anonymous remailers, or the practice of telemedicine, or the online collection and dissemination of personal information? How can they be controlled? Should they be controlled? And by whom? Post presents the Jeffersonian ideal–small self-governing units, loosely linked together as peers in groups of larger and larger size–as a model for the Internet and for cyberspace community self-governance. Deftly drawing on Jefferson’s writings on the New World in Notes on the State of Virginia, Post draws out the many similarities (and differences) between the two terrains, vividly describing how the Internet actually functions from a technological, legal, and social perspective as he uniquely applies Jefferson’s views on natural history, law, and governance in the New World to illuminate the complexities of cyberspace.
In Search of Jefferson’s Moose is a lively, accessible, and remarkably original overview of the Internet and what it holds for the future.
