The Book: Terms of service
Matthew Battles has written a proposed Terms of Service for books. It highlights the strengths of printed books, but Matthew is careful to avoid any reference to print vs. digital. In an email he writes: “Whether in print or pixels, the terms of the public sphere should be taken into consideration.”
Amen.







I noticed this: ” the (book) creator’s monopoly right shall be understood to be limited and circumscribed”
Fuzzy copyright logic I would say…
Something technical might happened here and my yesterday’s comment seems not to show up :-(
I made a note on the sentence from Matt’s post:
“the creator’s monopoly right shall be understood to be limited and circumscribed” and I contemplated if this statement is not too fuzzy when it comes to books?
In both: print & bit ?
