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."
