01:50 🔗 dashcloud finally a way Yahoo's urge to acquire and destroy could be put to good use: https://twitter.com/waxpancake/status/332672834700718080
03:30 🔗 brayden Damnit efnet. First connection attempt on v4 returned "Banned", even though I had been dropped for ages since smoe server went down again.
03:30 🔗 brayden Can't use their hostname because it drops me onto some crappy south african server always which I lose connection to :(
05:31 🔗 DFJustin damn some crazy shit being scanned into the archive, here's a list of words in native american languages...from 1516, in latin https://archive.org/stream/ioannesruffusfor00angh#page/n135/mode/2up
05:31 🔗 DFJustin scanned this march
05:34 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, seriously - there's just so much stuff going in. People don't understand.

06:00 🔗 godane1 did anyone grab it?
06:00 🔗 godane1 cause it was bought by ziff davis a year ago

06:56 🔗 SketchCow Thanks, godane. Rendered and darked for now.
07:46 🔗 omf_ Oh yeah nice grab godane
07:46 🔗 omf_ MEGA!!!
08:22 🔗 godane1 i have pasted 40k videos in g4video-web
08:24 🔗 godane1 also with linuxdevices.com being gone and very broken and in wayback machine
08:24 🔗 godane1 i would like people to look for tech sites that are not fully in wayback machine
09:49 🔗 godane1 i'm mirroring arcadeathome.com forums
09:58 🔗 godane1 i had to put a wait 2 in so it will not block me
09:58 🔗 godane1 they try to keep the forum views down it looks like
16:16 🔗 godane1 this is fucking awesome
16:16 🔗 godane1 building a pc with wil wheaton
16:17 🔗 godane1 its 40:40 long too
16:18 🔗 godane1 so its not all about building a pc
16:19 🔗 godane1 it was about buying parts to build a pc but the instend of it being a clip its the full episode
16:19 🔗 godane1 but still we have the episode with will wheaton hosting call for help
18:47 🔗 godane1 SketchCow: just got your interview on insert content here
18:47 🔗 godane1 also the meta data in the episode said 11 instead of 13
18:47 🔗 godane1 must be typo
19:43 🔗 SketchCow Good
20:49 🔗 deathy nice, crowd-funding model for getting copyright rights of ebooks and releasing them as creative-commons ( https://unglue.it/landing/ )
21:13 🔗 antomatic I always wanted to do something like that myself, albeit only with obscure technical books that probably only I would find interesting. Great idea, definitely.
21:37 🔗 Coderjoe so I guess the feds ordered the plastic gun design files be taken down
21:38 🔗 omf_ Today I learned that I do not own the copyright to screenshots I take unless I own the content being captured as well
21:39 🔗 omf_ So that fucks things up a little
21:39 🔗 Coderjoe however, you may be able to make a fair use claim depending on what you are using the screenshot for
21:39 🔗 omf_ I fucking hate US law
21:40 🔗 omf_ This has only been true since 1999
21:40 🔗 Coderjoe what has, your hate?
21:40 🔗 omf_ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel_Corp.
21:40 🔗 omf_ this case
21:43 🔗 omf_ I always wondered why there aren't vast online repositories of web page screenshots
21:44 🔗 omf_ or why some get taken down
21:50 🔗 omf_ Coderjoe, I will be able to fair use
21:51 🔗 omf_ If I don't own the data then how do I publish that data for others to use
21:51 🔗 omf_ http://libguides.mit.edu/usingimages
21:56 🔗 chronomex #archiveteam is not the right place to worry about rights
22:00 🔗 omf_ Your right but anything goes in -bs
22:16 🔗 joepie91 chronomex: hah
22:17 🔗 omf_ But to be serious in terms of AT projects I back shit up and let someone else sort it out later
22:17 🔗 omf_ For doing research on other non-archive related things I have to pay attention to copyright law, somewhat
22:23 🔗 ersi Pffft, copyright
22:23 🔗 omf_ I know, fuck me, right? :)
22:24 🔗 DFJustin hmm I dunno that that has anything to do with bridgeman
22:25 🔗 DFJustin I would assume it as obvious from the bourne convention's removal of the notice requirement + the longstanding concept of a "derivative work"
22:25 🔗 omf_ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Screenshots
22:26 🔗 omf_ Lawyers got involved
22:32 🔗 DFJustin https://www.chillingeffects.org/copyright/faq.cgi#QID809
22:32 🔗 DFJustin nothing new
22:32 🔗 omf_ I had never even thought about copyright on screenshots till just now
22:33 🔗 DFJustin for software it's widely considered fair use, web sites are a little trickier since you may be including a substantial amount of the actual content
22:33 🔗 DFJustin but in any case it's no worse than copying the websites themselves which we do on a rather massive scale
22:34 🔗 omf_ Microsoft has some dumb rules - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/Permissions/default.aspx#ERG
22:34 🔗 DFJustin that probably has no legal force
22:36 🔗 omf_ It seems like that answer on chillingeffects is cut off
22:36 🔗 DFJustin yeah
22:37 🔗 DFJustin it's at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101
22:40 🔗 DFJustin for a static web page it might be more just a partial copy than a derivative work by that definition but either way there's a potential copyright issue
22:41 🔗 DFJustin the internet archive has been copying websites without asking permission since 1996 though so I don't think anything bad is going to happen
22:41 🔗 omf_ Yep. In an archiving context screenshots are all good because the goal is non-commerical. Its for history.
22:42 🔗 omf_ But if I screenshot a bunch of commerical pages for a research project, someone might be a dick about it.
22:42 🔗 DFJustin I'll note that there's no blanket non-commercial get out of jail free card, that's just one of the required prongs of a fair use defence
22:46 🔗 omf_ My fair use argument is this is a nonprofit research project, using the minimal amount necessary to collect data.
23:04 🔗 Baljem omf_: yeah, it's a murky area, and it's not one-size-fits-all internationally either - in Germany, for instance, I am given to understand that they're inherently non-copyrightable anyway
23:04 🔗 Baljem (although I did manage to score a free iPod Shuffle off a company that lifted a screenshot from one of my webpages without asking!)
23:05 🔗 Baljem (apologies for lateness, just been skimming the backlog...)
23:12 🔗 omf_ So if someone who lived in Germany took a bunch of screenshots and released them together as public domain how would that translate to other countries
23:13 🔗 omf_ Copyright should be like patents. 1 term and your done
23:13 🔗 omf_ no extensions
23:13 🔗 chronomex copyright should require registration within a year of publication, register for 10 years starting at date of publication, one single renewal for another 10.
23:14 🔗 chronomex problem solved.
23:14 🔗 omf_ but chronomex that makes too much sense. What about the rights of the companies? :)
23:15 🔗 chronomex companies are more likely to have their shit together to get registration done
23:18 🔗 omf_ After careful consideration I am going to take the screenshots for my research and then release all of it as CC-BY on IA and fuck everyone else
23:20 🔗 Baljem *thumbs up*
23:20 🔗 joepie91 hah
23:20 🔗 joepie91 I approve
23:21 🔗 Baljem yeah, sod it, if someone gets their panties in a wad then worry about it later.
23:21 🔗 joepie91 consider it a practical approach to developing jurisprudence :)
23:21 🔗 Baljem publish and be damned, basically ;)
23:21 🔗 joepie91 (if that is even the correct translation)
23:21 🔗 omf_ Plus you have to be tripping to get legal over a single screenshot of your website
23:21 🔗 joepie91 true
23:22 🔗 joepie91 the question is more "can you get away with it"
23:22 🔗 joepie91 than "is it legal"
23:22 🔗 joepie91 also, GTK is making me confuse
23:24 🔗 omf_ On a completely different topic. How much better would modern programming be if garbage collection happened in hardware for you
23:25 🔗 omf_ Intel tried it a few decades back
23:47 🔗 omf_ Douglas Crockford is pretty fucking arrogant. Why are people so hot about his work
