Hi Digital Humanities folks!
I thought some of you might be interested in a project I have been working on for some time: The Readers’ Bill of Rights for Digital Books: https://readersbillofrights.info
We’re arguing against digital restrictions upon electronic books, and especially so for libraries. There have been many recent (and terrible) manifestations of proprietary digital reading that threaten the ways in which we have shared and used information (the 1984 incident, and HarperCollins’ recent licensing in which library ebooks self-destruct after 26 checkouts) as well as many smaller, more nuanced issues. We’re promoting a future for ebooks that includes the right to read in digital form.
Today we’ve released a new graphic by Nina Paley, “Readers Against DRM,” which I am attaching below. Please feel free to use and share it!
