Leeszaal
|
|
|
not an online pirate library, but a volunteer-run place in Rotterdam where you can borrow books, look up information, learn how to use LINUX, study or just read the newspaper. Books are not catalogued, and if you want to borrow one, just take it off the shelf and walk out with it :)

Project Gutenberg
|
|

loose thoughts from our conversation
|
|
|
|
|
|
misspellings on ebay - how to exploit this to find undiscovered items http://fatfingers.com
|
|
|
bootlegged DVDs and PS1 games - "chipping" to play bootlegged games
|
|
|
social capital accumulated from having a chipped console
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Pirate Book
|
|
|
historical stories of piracy - warez, demoscene, music etc:
|
|
|
https://hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary/read/290/pdf
|
|
|
|
|
|
selling unauthorised copies out of a car boot = "boot"legging?
|
|
|
|
|
|
why do we feel it's more threatening to pirate books than movies/music/games etc?
|
|
|
where does the text reside?
|
|
|
what if i read a book out loud and make a file on youtube - is it bootlegging?
|
|
|
|
|
|
can the library also have audio/visual media?
|
|
|
yes - the library is running on open-source software, so definitely possible. this requires an upgrade of the computer and data storage
|
|
|
what is more of a risk - a shared google drive of PDFs or the bootleglib?
|
|
|
a shared google drive is more risky - the bootleg library has several security measures in place to keep it private
|
|
|
will i get into trouble for using the bootleg library?
|
|
|
haha - not very likely :)
|
|
|
can readers communicate with each other through the bootleglib?
|
|
|
not directly, but possible by adding links to etherpads (like this one) in the description fields
|

Digital Amnesia

|
|
|
"Our memory is dissipating. Hard drives only last five years, a web page is forever changing and there’s no machine left that reads 15-year old floppy disks. Digital data is vulnerable. Yet entire libraries are shredded and lost to budget cuts, because we assume everything can be found online."

The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz

|
https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz
|
|
|
"The Internet's Own Boy depicts the life of American computer programmer, writer, political organizer and Internet activist Aaron Swartz. It features interviews with his family and friends as well as the internet luminaries who worked with him. The film tells his story up to his eventual suicide after a legal battle, and explores the questions of access to information and civil liberties that drove his work."

From the band's post accompanying links to different digital packs:

"This album is FREE. Free as in, free. Free to download and if you wish, free to make copies.

|
|
Make tapes, make CD’s, make records.

|
|
[...]
|
|
|
Ever wanted to start your own record label? GO for it! Employ your mates, press wax, pack boxes. We do not own this record. You do. Go forth, share, enjoy."
