Here Comes OpenLeaks: How It Won't Be WikiLeaks | The Awl
Meanwhile, Domscheit-Berg's reputation has slowly mended. For example, a matter of weeks ago he was voted back into the Chaos Computer Club, and Andy Mueller-Maguhn was booted off their board. These developments indicate that the steady vindication of Domscheit-Berg, in the hacker world at least, is more or less complete.

Open access is no more than academic consumerism. It neither democratises knowledge production nor communication | The Sociological Imagination
Nothing in this dispute bears on questions concerning how one might democratise knowledge production itself (e.g. how research credit might be distributed across students, informants, etc.; how one might select research topics that people find worthwhile; how impact across many audiences might be made a desideratum for securing a research grant).

Queen's speech will hold little hope for squeezed Britain | Politics | The Guardian
A new internet surveillance bill to help police and security agencies investigate terrorism and serious crime will be the main part of a wider law and order package. The law would build on an existing 2009 EU directive that requires internet service providers to keep customers' mobile phone and internet use data for 12 months.

It would not give the police the power to retain the content of any emails, tweets, or other social media use, and the most "sensitive'' data would be restricted to police, emergency services and intelligence agencies.

After fierce opposition from MPs of all parties, it is expected the legislation will promise to publish a privacy impact statement of the new powers, and the access regime will be overseen by the interception of communications commissioner.

Europe’s digital chief hopes France can liberalise digital copyright — paidContent
The French review’s focus is on whether certain re-uses of content should be rendered exempt from being supposed as breaching copyright. That could include:

“temporary copying” intrinsic to streaming
format-shifting for private purposes
extracting works for educational use
introducing broad fair-use exemption.

These technicalities are unlikely to render flagrant copying of whole copyrighted works legal, however, meaning Hadopi will likely maintain its primary role.

Harvard vs. Yale: Open-Access Publishing Edition - Alexis Madrigal - Technology - The Atlantic
Earlier this week, Yale university student, Emmanuel Quartey, posted a video interview with the school's librarian, Susan Gibbons, in which he asked her about open-access publishing. Her response was far more ambivalent than the Harvard faculty council's. Though she noted that open-access journals are more accessible, she worried that asking younger faculty to publish in open-access (presumably less prestigious) journals could jeopardize their chances to attain tenure.

ACTA – if you think we've won, we've lost | EDRI
The current balance is approximately 52.5% of the Parliament opposed to ACTA and 47.5% in favour. To put it in another way, if just 20 MEPs have their minds changed as a result of the massive lobbying campaign currently underway and organised by the European Commission and big business interests, then ACTA will be adopted.
