Studenter
kan låna elektronisk kurslitteratur
av Jonas Elgh, SvD 001013
"Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek ska köpa 500 elektroniska
böcker som kan lånas och läsas direkt över nätet."
Kunskapsfabriken.nu
"Den svenska kampanjen Kunskapsfabriken har dragit igång för
att skapa en plattform för studenter att kunna fildela kurslitteratur.
Hittills har kampanjen synts mest bland Lunds studenter, men kan med
lite samarbete komma alla Sveriges studenter till nytta."

E-Publishers
Fear Trademark
av M.J. Rose, Wired 001004
"The company's filing a trademark application for the word 'EBOOK'
has small-time e-publishers fretting. But trademark attorneys and
big-time publishers say it's not going to happen."
Pirates
Invade Book Publishing
av M.J. Rose, Wired 000922
"A website that offered links to free downloads of entire texts of
copyrighted books by famous authors has changed
its homepage and is denying it ever existed. But the question remains:
What can the publishing industry do about this Napster-ization of
books?"
Will
Copyright Law Fail to Protect E-Books?
av Doug Isenberg, GigaLaw 0011
"Electronic books are part of an emerging industry, but their future
is unclear. Although copyright law protects "e-books" just as it does
traditional books, technology makes it easy to copy them.
This commentary discusses why publishers
are struggling with how the law
may not protect them."
"Authors'
Rights in the E-Book Revolution
av Bob Pimm, GigaLaw 0010
"Electronic books are changing the way authors and publishers do
business. The digital nature of these new
"e-books" affects a number of issues in publishing contracts, including
copyrights and payments. This article explains the legal issues created
by e-books."
Electronic
Publishing Rights and New Legal Challenges
av Doug Isenberg, GigaLaw 0106
"The rise of electronic publishing has led to a rise in associated
legal issues. Among the most significant is a dispute between freelance
authors and the publishers of a number of newspapers and magazines
that include the authors' articles in online databases and CD-ROM
products. This commentary discusses the important implications of
this case before the U.S. Supreme Court."
The
Importance of Electronic Rights Revisited
av Michael Landau, GigaLaw 0108
"The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that newspaper and magazine publishers
are not necessarily entitled to reprint freelancers' articles in online
databases and on CD-ROMs is an important decision with tremendous
ramifications for the Internet. But it is also only one of a few important
and similar cases, including those involving electronic rights in
photos and books. This article - a sequel to a previous article on
GigaLaw.com - discusses the renewed important of electronic rights."
Freelancers
Win Fight Over Reuse of Work
av Christopher Stern, Washington Post 010626
"The Supreme Court ruled that some of the nation's largest
newspaper and magazine publishers broke copyright
law when they failed to secure
freelance writers' permission to include their
works in digital databases."
E-Book
Publishers Face Piracy Panic
av Farrin Jacobs and Chris Allbritton, Standard 001228
"Digital-rights management firms want publishing houses to be very,
very afraid of renegade online-book swapping. But how serious is the
threat? Not long ago, traditional publishers were poised to take their
first tentative steps into the digital age. Now Napster - evoking
the specter of expensive books being traded like so many MP3s
- is slowing them in their tracks."
Kopieringsskyddad
cd het fråga
av Anders Frelin, DN 011107
"De stora skivbolagen tar nu till tuffare metoder i kampen mot musikkopiering
på nätet. Tonårsbandet N´Sync har redan släppt
en version av sin senaste cd "Celebrity" med kopieringsskydd i USA,
enligt nätsajten pcworld.com. På cd:n finns ett program
inlagt som gör det omöjligt att spela cd:n på dator.
Det går då inte heller att kopiera musiken till datorfiler
för att lägga ut på nätet eller spela på
MP3-spelare. Alla de stora bolagen undersöker möjligheterna
att införa kopieringsskydd."
Boksajt
utsattes för sabotage
av Kalle Bergbom, DN 000915
"Det var i tisdags som någon eller några hackade sig in
på sajten och mejlade alla registrerade användare uppmaningar
att vända sig till en annan, konkurrerande bokförsäljare
på nätet."
