Radio Berkman 129: I Bought the Law Is the law free? The answer to this question and more on this week’s Radio Berkman. [INTERLUDE] We know that the law is of, by and for the people of the United States. But that doesn’t mean you can read it for free. The court cases and judicial records that interpret laws and statutes fill millions of pages and gigabytes of server space. Serving up all that info, and making it searchable, is a costly enterprise. But it’s getting cheaper - with the costs for server space dropping, and the proven willingness of crowds to help manage and curate data for free - you’d think it would also be cheap or free to find court records. And you’d be wrong. In fact, the judicial system’s online legal database - called PACER - charges a fee for attorneys, law students, anyone who wants to - just to look at case law. But this information is technically free - free as in free speech - so anyone is allowed to look at it, copy it, distribute it as they wish. One new project is seeking to make the information free - free as in free beer. The project is called RECAP - and came out of the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy. Steve Schultze is a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, a developer for Recap, and a frequent guest on this program. He is leaving Berkman to become the Associate Director of the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy - but he joined David Weinberger one last time to explain the Recap project and the prickly legal line it walks.

Radio Berkman 127: Video Killed the Video Star 2009-07-23_OVC Is there life for video beyond YouTube? The answer to this question and more on this week’s Radio Berkman. [MUSIC START] In the 15th Century a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg invented the first modern printing press, permanently changing how people communicated, and sparking too many cultural revolutions to count. Literacy and education were put in the hands of the common person, torn down were the barriers between the author of a text and a mass audience. Ideas once handed down from religious and political leaders, tales handed down by oral tradition - all found new vitality in text, and gained strength as more people were exposed to words on paper. Some suggest that we are going through a similar revolution today, in video. We can’t point to a singular figure like Gutenberg - some might point to the inventors of YouTube, others to the creators of super cheap media technology like the Flip Mino, video phones, and iMovie. Regardless of who takes the credit, it is as easy now to shoot, edit, and distribute a video today as it is to write a blog post, news article, or the Great American Novel. The implications of this are still working themselves out - even as the technology is maturing. Legal questions need to be answered: how can someone with a video camera have legal freedom to shoot, without harming the privacy rights of others? Political questions: Will I have the right to remix and borrow from another person’s work? And technical questions: are the platforms and codecs open enough for developers to build the next generation of video on the web? All of these questions got a fair shake at June’s First Annual Open Video Conference in New York City. Tangled in the web of issues floating around at the summit were several folks from the Berkman Center. We were lucky to have three of them sit down with us for a post-conference roundtable, Amar Ashar, Chris Peterson, and Catherine White. [LEAD IN TO - INTERVIEW EXCERPTS] Catherine White and Chris Peterson are research interns at the Berkman Center, and Amar Ashar is the Berkman Center’s program coordinator. You can follow all of their work at the Berkman Center’s website: cyber.law.harvard.edu. Catherine White gathered those terrific interview clips from the Open Video Conference you heard midway through the show. Thanks Catherine, and we hope to have you back again!

The answers to this question and more on this week’s Radio Berkman. [MUSIC START] Maybe this has happened to you. You’re at a coffee shop, using their wifi typing an email, chatting on Facebook, writing your treatment for Twitter! The Musical in a google document. When all of a sudden you feel those eyes staring at you. You turn around just in time and - you’ve caught them in the act! Some peeping Tom - or Tammy - has been looking over your shoulder noting every keystroke, every profile you look at, every password you type. Sure, this scenario is a little unrealistic. Why would Tom or Tammy settle for looking over your shoulder, when they could just go the high tech route and hijack your account by grabbing bits out of midair?

And in many cases it’s nearly impossible to protect yourself.

Some of them have even gone further to depict non-rival knowledge production as an oppositional response to Neoliberal Globalization consistent with Karl Polanyi’s (1944) theory of “The Double Movement” and a “disembedded” market economy (Evans 2005; Jessop 2007; O’Riain 2006; Weber and Bussell 2005).

He argues that the logic of production underlying commons-based innovation strategies in the field of IT does not contradict ideologies of the free market. Building on the Polanyian critiques of global neoliberalism, he proposes an alternate framework for assessing commons-based industry and commons-based development policies along the dimension of “embeddedness.” Download the MP3 Rasmus Kleis Nielsen - Mundane Tools and Mobilizational Practices in Two U.S. Congressional Campaigns The mobilizational potential of the Internet has been highlighted both by both social scientists and professional practitioners. A wide range of new tools have become ubiquitous in political campaigns—ranging from state-of-the-art websites to something as prosaic as email. But we still do not know what internet elements are most important for mobilizational practices. Based on participant-observation in two congressional campaigns in the United States, web research, interviews with professionals and activists, and analysis of secondary sources, Nielsen argues that it is not campaign web sites as such, or the Internet in general, but specific “mundane mobilizational tools”, particular things like email and search, that are most intimately involved in mobilizational practices. Contrary to the specialized and emerging tools that have received the most scholarly, professional, and journalistic attention, mundane mobilizational tools are not designed specifically for political use, but instead derive their affordances from the fact that they (1) connect with existing infrastructures and communities, (2) allow distributed communication, and (3) are already familiar to users.

You spend millions of dollars producing your feature film or TV show, even more promoting it, and by the time it hits the screen already hundreds of thousands of people have gotten to see it on their computers just by grabbing it off of a peer to peer network for free. No ticket sales, no advertising dollars - you’ve just lost millions in potential revenue. So how do we keep content from being accessed illegally? Shut down the pirate sites? Not according to Michael Smith and Rah-HOOL Telang. Smith and Telang research business models for media on the web at Carnegie Mellon University’s i-Lab. In 2007 when NBC decided to stop offering top shows like the Office and Heroes on the iTunes store, the i-Lab started tracking how much of the previously available content was being downloaded illegally on filesharing networks. This past April the i-Lab released research showing that NBC’s decision to take their shows off the web resulted in an 11.5 percent increase in demand for the content in pirated form. David Weinberger spoke with Smith and Telang to find out more about this research and what lessons the entertainment industry should take.

Radio Berkman 120: 2009-005-05_wolfram - Why We Search What is the future of search? The answers to this question and more on this week’s Radio Berkman. [MUSIC START] What does it mean exactly to “search” the web? It’s not like searching under your bed - though the more digitally addicted of us may be guilty of stifling the instinct to “Google” our keys when they’re missing. But on the web usually what we’re trying to find is meaningful real world information in the form of sensory input - language, images, sounds. If that sounds a little overwhelming bear with us. The way we have gotten to real world information over time has changed. A search for the GDP of France a couple decades ago might have involved scanning the index of a World Almanac, or before that a trip to the local library’s card catalog. Sounds exhausting. Today, if you typed “GDP of France” into your little search bar you would expect to get a list of websites linking to the data - a wikipedia article on the French economy, an article from the CIA’s World Factbook, and a few million others that might or might not contain exactly what you are looking for. Well, some entrepreneurs in the field of search want us to see past the list of links, and let us jump straight to the information. A quest to find the GDP of France in the search engine of tomorrow could direct you straight to a page filled with customized charts, tables, and maps displaying the GDP of France over time, in various currencies, per capita, by region, compared with other countries - any way you could want it. And that could quite literally happen tomorrow. The first big attempt at combining a Farmer’s Almanac, a scientific calculator, a research library, and a smart search engine, called “Wolfram Alpha” is set to be unleashed on the web later this May. In public and private previews, the engine has wowed many not just with its wealth of knowledge, but with its ability to take the words you type in the search bar, understand what it is you are probably looking for, and display it in a way you can understand. Stephen Wolfram, the brains behind the engine, isn’t new to blowing people’s minds with revolutionary projects. In 1988 he released a software called Mathematica that made manipulating and visualizing equations and data a simple desktop activity. And in 2002 he released A New Kind of Science, a one thousand two hundred and eighty page tome that employed computational systems in describing the universe. By combining the technology behind Mathematica with the concepts behind A New Kind of Science, Wolfram Alpha may catch lightning in a bottle a the third time for Stephen, Shortly after a public preview at Harvard University last week, Stephen sat down with David Weinberger to discuss what Wolfram Alpha does, and how it may change the way we search.

The dismantling of an entire industry and valued civic institution gives us the opportunity to take a look at its component parts, understand what it does, and reassess what specifically we value about it in the first place. In putting journalism back together again, we may just be able to make it work better. Our guest today thinks he has some ideas of how journalism can serve its purpose better. It involves some work on both the part of those who create media AND those who consume it. And he suggests those two roles should not be mutually exclusive.

Radio Berkman 117: 2009-04-14_cia What do you get when cross the CIA and Wikipedia? The answers to this question and more on this week’s Radio Berkman. [MUSIC START] If you made a list of the words mentioned on this show in order of frequency of use over time, it would probably go: The, And, Berkman, followed by Transparency. Yes, we love talking about zero percent opacity on this show. Add a little bit of crowdsourcing, and hey we’re ready to party! The idea that knowledge can be shared and managed publicly just really gets us excited. Of course transparency and crowdsourcing work great for projects like wikipedia, and they made Obama’s town hall a couple weeks ago, interesting to say the least. But what if it came to entrusting national secrets? Secrets that our national security depends on? If you wanted to build a fluid, user-friendly database of classified information the idea of crowdsourcing the task would seem almost ludicrous. But that’s just what the Central Intelligence Agency is trying to to do with Intellipedia, a three year old wiki project to improve information-sharing across the agency. Don Burke and Sean Dennehy of the CIA stopped by the Berkman Center to talk with David Weinberger about what goes on behind the scenes at Intellipedia. [LEAD IN TO - INTERVIEW EXCERPTS] Don Burke and Sean Dennehy are with the Central Intelligence Agency. You can find a link in the show notes to a presentation they gave on Intellipedia at last year’s Enterprise 2.0 conference. Unfortunately we can’t give you a link to the actual Intellipedia. But if you feel you can make an interesting case for how your access to Intellipedia would aid national security visit www.dni.gov and contact the Director of National Intelligence.
