[00:00] for me it comes down to what it is [00:01] pure facts and tabular data are not owned by anyone. The phonebook lawsuit proved that [00:01] It is more about attitude [00:01] yup [00:01] we crowdsource the work and then charge (make you see ads) you for access to data you helped make [00:02] like how social sites are total assholes about getting personal data out [00:02] yeah [00:02] I made that shit, give it back to me [00:02] if imfdb offered something more than just facts in a basic wiki. [00:03] and you're doing that hoping that the IMFDB isn't going to do something awful [00:03] like, say, selling the site to wikia [00:04] fuck you want to hear about shit like that [00:04] back in the 90s I worked on a few different gaming sites. One site sold all the content to the parent company of Sybase [00:04] wonderful [00:04] All that data got locked up [00:05] in theory I do not even own the copyright to the 200 articles I wrote [00:05] if you didn't explicitly assign copyright to them, you do [00:05] just like how shit gets added to safaribooks and then disappears off the rest of the net [00:05] I know that [00:05] heh [00:06] do I want to go to court to fight about a deal I never saw or signed. no. [00:06] or how like, wikia quietly buys sites from the owners [00:06] can you give me some examples. [00:06] camerapedia [00:06] I thought most of wikia was CC [00:07] oh, it is CC, i just meant the whole "at the mercy of the people hosting your shit" thing [00:07] in camerapedia's case, a fork sprung up almost immediately [00:07] yeah [00:08] but that was still pretty crappy [00:08] for what reason other than new overlords [00:08] yep [02:56] I think I got another piece of my pre-emptive reddit crawler done [05:07] Sigh; this one author wants to release his old hypertext writings for free, but his pub won't let him [05:07] +1 victim to copyright :( [05:09] :( [05:10] You'd think a publisher would relent when it's in a format that's been dead for 20 years [05:10] Might s well be written in Linear B [05:13] shaqfu: Geeze :( [05:15] And I take it their contract doesn't have a reversion clause for works that are out of print. [05:16] Probably not [06:36] shaqfu: Uploading more dl.tv [06:42] (reading scrollback) there is some stuff that is only on 8-track... but that's because it was a stupid kid goofing off with a microphone and his parents' stereo with built-in 8-track recorder/player [06:43] I still have the stereo and tapes, but I think I need to fix the stereo first. [06:45] (as far as digitizing it, I already have an M-Audio Firewire 410 audio interface) [06:56] hmm [06:57] there's an odd recording idea, and I wonder if I did it. take an 8-track recorder and start recording. then, press the track cycle button on some regular, short interval. [06:57] then, after doing this for awhile, play it back [06:57] but this time, don't manually cycle [06:59] of course, in all of this i mean the 8-track cartridge format [07:10] hmm [07:10] there is some other 8-track primary material (with unknown later digitization/reproduction) [07:10] "The Stereo 8 also introduced the problem of dividing up the programming intended for a two-sided LP record into four programs. Often this resulted in songs being split into two parts (the split was often made during an instrumental break or a repeated chorus), song orders being reshuffled, shorter songs being repeated, and songs separated by long passages of silence. Some eight-tracks included extra musical content to [07:22] http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6jrv7Kity1qcbanwo1_1280.jpg [07:22] woah, 2009 was a big year for bing [07:30] http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300736846867 [07:40] 4 dvds of dl.tv is uploaded [08:24] some mame folks were looking into 8-track digitization a while back, I recall one of the issues that came up is that the foam inside old 8-tracks that keeps the tape running smoothly has now decayed in a lot of cases, so you need to open them up and check to avoid mayhem when playing them [08:30] e.g. http://voices.yahoo.com/how-repair-8-track-tapes-like-pro-1447537.html [08:41] i'm up to episode 180 of dl.tv [08:43] i think this is something wants to get: http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2966519/72097047/ [08:50] dam [08:50] http://www.demonoid.me/files/?uid=3783180&seeded=2 [08:50] can someone start downloading that [08:51] dvd images of ImagineFX from 49-74 [08:55] might be better off having underscor grab that from the ia end [09:11] DFJustin: i also found issues of ImagineFX [09:12] pdfs i mean [09:12] i'm getting those [09:41] looks like dl.tv episode 183 and 184 are the same [11:22] i'm up to episode 188 [13:15] i'm up to episode 194 [13:50] DFJustin: but what if I want to meet a professional athlete today?
