Recentemente ha svolto un ruolo centrale nella campagna SOPA (<em>Stop online piracy act</em>) che si &egrave; conclusa con un successo e ha impedito una limitazione dei diritti della rete. Era conosciuto dai suoi amici, ma anche dall&rsquo;FBI per aver scaricato grandi quantit&agrave; di dati per usarli nella sua ricerca e per rendere pubblici documenti soggetti a propriet&agrave; privata. Nel 2008 Swartz aveva scaricato e messo a disposizione di tutti circa il 20% del database <em>Public Access to Court Electronic Records</em> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACER_%28law%29" title="PACER (law)">(PACER)</a>gestiti dall&rsquo;Administrative Office degli Stati Uniti.</div> <div class="rtejustify"> Inoltre, secondo le autorit&agrave; federali Swartz aveva messo in rete gratuitamente un gran numero di articoli accademici dato che come ricercatore disponeva di un account JSTOR.</div> <div class="rtejustify"> JSTOR &egrave; un archivio digitale, e come altri database accademici rende disponibile testi a pagamento. Ogni articolo costa tra 19 e 39 dollari. Inoltre JSTOR accetta sottoscrizioni solo da istituzioni, il che significa che uno studioso indipendente o un ricercatore senza affiliazione istituzionale o un ricercatore precario non pu&ograve; accedervi.</div> <p><a href="http://th-rough.eu/writers/bifo-ita/aaron-swartz-e-bartleby" target="_blank">read more</a></p> bifo-ita Aaron Swartz Bologna copyright repression social centres suicide Italian Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:55:58 +0000 Franco Berardi Bifo 312 at http://th-rough.eu Vengeance de classe http://th-rough.eu/writers/campagna-fra/vengeance-de-classe <span class='print-link'></span><p> Une fois que les les gens &agrave; capuches sont revenus &agrave; leurs refuges, que les incendies se sont &eacute;teints et que la menace s&rsquo;est estomp&eacute;e, la police a repris pleine possession des villes anglaises.

Once again, it was the Metropolitan Police, once again it was in London. It was the national walkout day and thousands of students were marching in countless cities all over the United Kingdom. In London, a colorful and determined march (supported by all student organisation, with the exception of the notoriously brave-hearted NUS) made its way from Trafalgar square down to Whitehall. There, at about 1pm, it happened again. The Metropolitan Police, fearful of being blamed again for incompetence, kettled everyone in.</p> <p><a href="http://th-rough.eu/writers/campagna-eng/kettles-troops-and-students-whats-going-london-right-now" target="_blank">read more</a></p> campagna-eng repression struggle students UK urge English Wed, 24 Nov 2010 18:26:33 +0000 Federico Campagna 63 at http://th-rough.eu
