Philippe Aigrain: Internet et Création (2008) [French]
Filed under book | Tags: · creativity, filesharing, internet, p2p
Internet et création ont partie liée, les échanges culturels alimentant la gigantesque expansion d’internet qui à son tour offre un espace à de nouvelles formes d’arts et d’expressions. Alors que certains n’y voient que destruction et anéantissement de la création, arc-boutés sur leur modèle de l’industrie culturelle de masse, Philippe Aigrain nous propose une autre vision.
Cet ouvrage défend la liberté des échanges entre internautes et un financement de la création. Il nous livre un véritable plaidoyer pour changer notre regard sur l’internet et développe des propositions concrètes pour organiser leur futur commun.
Corrigeant et affinant la Licence Globale de 2005, ces propositions seront nécessairement au coeur des débats de demain.
“Internet & Création” ne s’adresse pas qu’aux auteurs et artistes, producteurs et éditeurs ou aux internautes novices et aguerris. Il est à destination de tous, hommes et femmes qui veulent comprendre ce monde en pleine mutation où l’art et la culture seront demain dans nos mains et seront ce que nous en ferons.
Internet et création: comment reconnaître les échanges hors-marché sur internet en finançant et rémunérant la création?

“Community Informatics (CI) is the study and the practice of enabling communities with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs). CI seeks to work with communities towards the effective use of ICTs to improve their processes, achieve their objectives, overcome the “digital divides” that exist both within and between communities, and empower communities and citizens in the range of areas of ICT application including for health, cultural production, civic management, e-governance among others. CI is concerned with how ICT can be useful to the range of traditionally excluded populations and communities, and how it can support local economic development, social justice and political empowerment using the Internet. CI is a point of convergence concerning the use of ICTs for diverse stakeholders, including community activists, nonprofit groups, policymakers, users/citizens, and the range of academics working across (and integrating) disciplines as diverse as Information Studies, Management, Computer Science, Social Work, Planning and Development Studies. Emerging issues within the CI field include: community access to the internet, community information, online civic participation and community service delivery, community and local economic development, training networks, telework, social cohesion, learning, e-health and e-governance. The Journal of Community Informatics aims to bring together a global range of academics, CI practitioners and national and multi-lateral policy makers policy makers. Each issue of the Journal of Community Informatics contains a number of double blind peer-reviewed research articles as well as commentaries by leading CI practitioners and policy makers providing feedback on how the significance and application of research for practice and policy development.”

Daniel J Solove: Nothing to Hide: The False Tradeoff between Privacy and Security (2011)
Filed under book | Tags: · data mining, internet, law, politics, privacy, security, surveillance, technology, terrorism
“If you’ve got nothing to hide,” many people say, “you shouldn’t worry about government surveillance.” Others argue that we must sacrifice privacy for security. But as Daniel J. Solove argues in this important book, these arguments and many others are flawed. They are based on mistaken views about what it means to protect privacy and the costs and benefits of doing so. The debate between privacy and security has been framed incorrectly as a zero-sum game in which we are forced to choose between one value and the other. Why can’t we have both?
In this concise and accessible book, Solove exposes the fallacies of many pro-security arguments that have skewed law and policy to favor security at the expense of privacy. Protecting privacy isn’t fatal to security measures; it merely involves adequate oversight and regulation. Solove traces the history of the privacy-security debate from the Revolution to the present day. He explains how the law protects privacy and examines concerns with new technologies. He then points out the failings of our current system and offers specific remedies. Nothing to Hide makes a powerful and compelling case for reaching a better balance between privacy and security and reveals why doing so is essential to protect our freedom and democracy.
