With enough of us, around the world, we'll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we'll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?

We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks. We need to fight for Guerilla Open Access.

Those with access to these resources — students, librarians, scientists — you have been given a privilege. You get to feed at this banquet of knowledge while the rest of the world is locked out. But you need not — indeed, morally, you cannot — keep this privilege for yourselves. You have a duty to share it with the world. And you have: trading passwords with colleagues, filling download requests for friends.

Meanwhile, those who have been locked out are not standing idly by. You have been sneaking through holes and climbing over fences, liberating the information locked up by the publishers and sharing them with your friends.

But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It's called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn't immoral — it's a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.

Large corporations, of course, are blinded by greed. The laws under which they operate require it — their shareholders would revolt at anything less. And the politicians they have bought off back them, passing laws giving them the exclusive power to decide who can make copies.

There is no justice in following unjust laws. It's time to come into the light and, in the grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to this private theft of public culture.

Aaron Swartz Open Access Manifesto

Guerilla Open Access Manifesto

Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the sciences? You'll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier.

There are those struggling to change this. The Open Access Movement has fought valiantly to ensure that scientists do not sign their copyrights away but instead ensure their work is published on the Internet, under terms that allow anyone to access it. But even under the best scenarios, their work will only apply to things published in the future. Everything up until now will have been lost.

That is too high a price to pay. Forcing academics to pay money to read the work of their colleagues? Scanning entire libraries but only allowing the folks at Google to read them? Providing scientific articles to those at elite universities in the First World, but not to children in the Global South? It's outrageous and unacceptable.

"I agree," many say, "but what can we do? The companies hold the copyrights, they make enormous amounts of money by charging for access, and it's perfectly legal — there's nothing we can do to stop them." But there is something we can, something that's already being done: we can fight back.

Nel 2010, #AaronSwartz scaricò 70GB di articoli accademici da JSTOR. Risultato: 1 milione di multa e 35 anni di carcere. Nel 2013, si tolse la vita.

Nel 2024, #Meta ruba 80 terabyte di (#copyrigh ) libri da LibGen e Z-Library per addestrare la sua #AI. Risultato: zero conseguenze.

Aaron took his own life in 2013.

#Meta illegally downloaded over 80 terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train its #AI models
facing no consequences.

Information is power, knowledge is power.

Beware and fight against those who want to keep you ignorant, unaware, and misinformed.

Some noteworthy books by Aaron Swartz and about him

#books
#AaronSwartz
@bookstodon

The Writings of Aaron Swartz
In his too-short life, Aaron Swartz reshaped the Internet, questioned our assumptions about intellectual property, and touched all of us in ways that we may not even realize. His tragic suicide in 2013 at the age of twenty-six after being aggressively prosecuted for copyright infringement shocked the nation and the world.
Here for the first time in print is revealed the quintessential Aaron Swartz: besides being a technical genius and a passionate activist, he was also an insightful, compelling, and cutting essayist. With a technical understanding of the Internet and of intellectual property law surpassing that of many seasoned professionals, he wrote thoughtfully and humorously about intellectual property, copyright, and the architecture of the Internet. He wrote as well about unexpected topics such as pop culture, politics both electoral and idealistic, dieting, and lifehacking. Including three in-depth and previously unpublished essays.

Aaron Swartz and The Rise of Free Culture on The Internet

This smart, “riveting” (Los Angeles Times) history of the Internet free culture movement and its larger effects on society—and the life and shocking suicide of Aaron Swartz, a founding developer of Reddit and Creative Commons—written by Slate correspondent Justin Peters “captures Swartz flawlessly” (The New York Times Book Review).

Aaron Swartz was a zealous young advocate for the free exchange of information and creative content online. He committed suicide in 2013 after being indicted by the government for illegally downloading millions of academic articles from a nonprofit online database. From the age of fifteen, when Swartz, a computer prodigy, worked with Lawrence Lessig to launch Creative Commons, to his years as a fighter for copyright reform and open information, to his work leading the protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), to his posthumous status as a cultural icon, Swartz’s life was inextricably connected to the free culture movement. Now Justin Peters examines Swartz’s life in the context of 200 years of struggle over the control of information.

The Idealist is “an excellent survey of the intellectual property battlefield, and a sobering memorial to its most tragic victim” (The Boston Globe) and an essential look at the impact of the free culture movement on our daily lives and on generations to come.

The 1% want a world where AI wants is given permission to consume all copyrighted content for free, but its citizens are charged for access to scholarly papers. Corporatism is a disease.

My #Ethics of #Business and #Technology course begins with this contrast between #AaronSwartz’s subscription-mediated article downloading and #OpenAI’s larger scale, unpaid #webscraping (https://byrdnick.com/teaching#ethicsofbusinessandtechnology).

Even though some students have heard of #Reddit, few (if any) have heard of Aaron. As soon as they watch the trailer for “The Internet’s Own Boy” (https://youtu.be/2M0GQww1GoY?feature=shared), they immediately become interested, do the more technical reading, return to class excited for discussion, and write plenty on their team-based worksheets. They clearly find the contrast between Aaron and corporateAI provocative! If ever there was a way to make young people care about #tech #crime, Aaron's case may be it.

Thanks for alerting us about the latest case of mass copyright infringement from likes of #Meta, @rcx!

Eu nem ia postar sobre isso, mas vi essa matéria do tecmundo e resolvi deixar 2 dedos de prosa pra meia dúzia que cola por aqui:

Documentos judiciais revelam que a Meta baixou mais de 81 TB de livros piratas via torrent para treinar sua inteligência artificial.

Funcionários, cientes da ilegalidade, usaram VPNs e servidores externos para ocultar atividade.

As mensagens deixam claro que Marquinho Zuck sabia do que tava rolando. Ou seja, ele cometeu outro crime quando mentiu na corte americana dizendo que não fazia ideia que isso estava acontecendo.

Mas provavelmente não vai dar em nada.

Difícil não lembrar do Aaron Swartz. Jovem criador do Reddit, do RSS e do openLibrary, que tirou a própria vida as vésperas de ir a julgamento com grandes chances de pegar 36 anos de prisão por roubar artigos científicos do MIT pra disponibilizar gratuitamente para todos os estudantes terem acesso a informação e a ciência.

Perceba de forma cristalina que o crime do Aaron não foi a pirataria e sim disponibilizar ciência para criar seres pensantes e com maior discernimento.

Já que pra treinar IA e desinformar ainda mais as pessoas, tá de boas.

Enfim, a pirata... ops, hipocrisia.

‘more and more critics are coming to understand that LOCK-IN is the root of the problem, and that ANTI-LOCK-IN measures like interoperability can address it.’

@pluralistic seems on recently.

I guess this is a position #AaronSwartz would have agreed to - because it cultivates empathy with those that are still too afraid to walk over those shaky bridges … yet.
