Anders Rydell, Sam Sundberg: Piraterna: De svenska fildelarna som plundrade Hollywood (2009) [Swedish]

23 May 2012, dusan

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.

Julie E. Cohen: Configuring the Networked Self: Law, Code, and the Play of Everyday Practice (2012)

19 March 2012, dusan

The legal and technical rules governing flows of information are out of balance, argues Julie E. Cohen in this original analysis of information law and policy. Flows of cultural and technical information are overly restricted, while flows of personal information often are not restricted at all. The author investigates the institutional forces shaping the emerging information society and the contradictions between those forces and the ways that people use information and information technologies in their everyday lives. She then proposes legal principles to ensure that people have ample room for cultural and material participation as well as greater control over the boundary conditions that govern flows of information to, from, and about them.
