Копирайт, интернет, история

[arpad]

Таки очень плохо. Потому что все серьезные и хорошие книги по истории защищены и, в результате, в сети отсутствуют. Мусорные конспирологи эффективно пользуются бесплатной трибуной, а сотни блестящих и интересно написанных работ по истории, которые могли бы им противостоять, пылятся на полках.

И ситуация в русском интернете здесь такая же как и везде.

p.s. для тех кто не в танке - я не принадлежу к борцам против копирайта.

Temporary access based on micropayments would have worked but there are no tools. Strong electronic library system with cheap payments would probably have worked too, like ipod, but it needs to be linked with existing system of publishing and it seems to be impossible even in music...

So we are only at the beginning of the struggle for new standards of information distribution. But it is another story...

You see, here we are talking about some kind of pay-per-information system, while conspiracy theories on the internet are completey free :)

Btw, Santa Clara county library provides free access to electronic books. http://www.santaclaracountylib.org/electronic_library/
