What is fair use & why does it matter for creators?
๐ง๏ธ Listen in as experts Patricia Aufderheide & Peter Jaszi talk about their landmark book, "Reclaiming Fair Use"โnow in its second edition! Co-hosted with Authors Alliance.

You've no doubt read about fair use in the conversations around the publishers' lawsuit against our library. But what is fair use, and why does it matter in today's media landscape? Join us, along with Authors Alliance, for a book talk on RECLAIMING FAIR USE with authors and scholars Patricia Aufderheide & Peter Jaszi:  I don't think MIT is freeloading from an ILL perspective-- The @internetarchive does ILL exchanges with 400+ libraries including MIT. And while MIT has gotten lots from us over the years, it is not in the top 25 libraries requesting. So I suspect they use ILL and document delivery services (big $/paper) it is just they don't requests that many papers. But that is not good news, really, we need researchers learning from each other. We need OPEN! Why is it important to preserve forgotten books? ๐๐ณ๏ธ Discover how lost stories hold the key to cultural memory, creativity & knowledge in a new post from author & editor Brad Bigelow of New Feature Alert: Access archived webpages directly through Google Search, now featuring a link to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

   @internetarchive is Google helping you financially? I'm concerned about the increased load to your servers and bandwidth. New op-ed from Public Knowledge in MIT Technology Review: "This decision harms libraries. It locks them into an e-book ecosystem designed to extract as much money as possible while harvesting (and reselling) reader data en masse." Why a ruling against the Internet Archive threatens the future of Americaโs libraries: https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/09/11/1103838/why-a-ruling-against-the-internet-archive-threatens-the-future-of-americas-libraries/ The idea of "lending" ebooks was always a bit strange. Especially as "Print on Demand" is becoming cheaper. @internetarchive @SLUBDresden also digitized Das Plakat, Typographische Mitteilungen, and a bunch of other art and design books: https://www.arthistoricum.net/en/themen/textquellen/gebrauchs-und-reklamegrafik

@internetarchive Obviously nobody should ever buy any book published by Hatchette again, ever. If you own a bookstore and are reading this, please round up all Hatchette titles and return them for a refund. Bitorrent yes, Hatchette NO. Pirates are stronger than any court...  @internetarchive Ridiculous. The idea this court decides against your favor is proof of a democracy in decline. Thank you, Internet Archive.  @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org A sad day for libraries and internet user's rights, I hope the internet archive continues the good fight and gets this overturned eventually! Next month! Come tour the Internet Archive's physical storage center, then join us for our annual celebration. I'll be there to answer your questions about DLARC. https://blog.archive.org/2024/08/19/celebrate-with-the-internet-archive-on-october-22nd-23rd/ i have a bookmarks folder just of @internetarchive links to stuff i want to watch/listen/read. it's such an invaluable resource. "The amount of economic harm that the publishers are presently suffering as a result of the IA has not only never been quantified, it has not even been roughly attempted to be quantified." From "Barbarians at the Gates: How the Internet Archive is putting publishers to shame" by Howard Burton for Ideas Roadshow https://ideasroadshow.com/barbarians-at-the-gates/ Why is it important to preserve 78rpm recordings? As audio preservation expert George Blood explains, "78rpm discs were the way we learned about each other and entertained the world." https://blog.archive.org/2024/08/26/vanishing-culture-on-78s/ #VanishingCulture

 @internetarchive 78's had been replaced with 33 LPs when I was a kid, but 78s were still common. In the classical and jazz worlds, it seemed that the artists who recorded on 78s had more imagination and spirit than those who later recorded on 33's - the 78 performances were often far, far better than the 33 performances of the same piece. As an example compare the energetic, jazzy, Stowkowski 78 performance of "The Plow That Broke the Plains" with the pathetic 33 version done by Mariner.  @internetarchive Thank you for everything you do! A couple of years ago I found a new favorite on your site - it was an old record from the 1920s recorded in Cuba. I never wouldโve discovered it had your organization not preserved it New spot on archiving the MTV News web site from NPR-affiliate KJZZ in Phoenix: https://www.kjzz.org/kjzz-news/2024-08-15/hundreds-of-thousands-of-articles-from-mtv-news-were-taken-offline-the-wayback-machine-has-archived-them "We work diligently to archive large swaths of the public web. In particular, with regard to the MTV News site, we have been archiving that probably since its inception." - Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine Now at the archive: FORMAT CHANGES - airchecks of radio stations signing off forever, switching formats, or starting their new lives as a new call-sign. @textfiles Now I really need to repair my cassette tapedeck and find my tapes. Some of the most creative FM radio occurs. Most recently was the Canadian station that played Rage Against The Machine, over and over and over and over. Even over their stream. It was glorious. LISTEN: New podcast episode from Politico Tech featuring Mark Graham, director of Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, discussing the multi-institutional collaboration, End of Term Archive project.

The original URL shorteners thought about this, and archived their links with archive.org . https://archive.org/details/301works?tab=about I hope google joins now, and gives us the host domain so we can make them continue to work (redirect into the wayback machine that would archive the redirect). please. |
