  31         <p>Three years ago, a presumed lost animation film,
  32 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Socks">Empty Socks from
  33 1927</a>, was discovered in the Norwegian National Library.  At the
  34 time it was discovered, it was generally assumed to be copyrighted by
  35 The Walt Disney Company, and I blogged about
  36 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Opphavsretts_status_for__Empty_Socks__fra_1927_.html">my
  37 reasoning to conclude</a> that it would would enter the Norwegian
  38 equivalent of the public domain in 2053, based on my understanding of
  39 Norwegian Copyright Law.  But a few days ago, I came across
  40 <a href="http://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/exposed-disneys-repurchase-of-oswald-the-rabbit-a-sham.4792291/">a
  41 blog post claiming the movie was already in the public domain</a>, at
  42 least in USA.  The reasoning is as follows: The film was released in
  43 November or Desember 1927 (sources disagree), and presumably
  44 registered its copyright that year.  At that time, right holders of
  45 movies registered by the copyright office received government
  46 protection for there work for 28 years.  After 28 years, the copyright
  47 had to be renewed if the wanted the government to protect it further.
  48 The blog post I found claim such renewal did not happen for this
  49 movie, and thus it entered the public domain in 1956.  Yet someone
  50 claim the copyright was renewed and the movie is still copyright
  51 protected.  Can anyone help me to figure out which claim is correct?
  52 I have not been able to find Empty Socks in Catalog of copyright
  53 entries.  Ser.3 pt.12-13 v.9-12 1955-1958 Motion Pictures
  54 <a href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/1955r.html#film">available
  55 from the University of Pennsylvania</a>, neither in
  56 <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015084451130;page=root;view=image;size=100;seq=83;num=45">page

  59 119 for the second half of 1955</a>.  It is of course possible that
  60 the renewal entry was left out of the printed catalog by mistake.  Is
  61 there some way to rule out this possibility?  Please help, and update
  62 the wikipedia page with your findings.

  87         <p>It is pleasing to see that the work we put down in publishing new
  88 editions of the classic <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free
  89 Culture book</a> by the founder of the Creative Commons movement,
  90 Lawrence Lessig, is still being appreciated.  I had a look at the
  91 latest sales numbers for the paper edition today.  Not too impressive,
  92 but happy to see some buyers still exist.  All the revenue from the
  93 books is sent to the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
  94 Commons Corporation</a>, and they receive the largest cut if you buy
  95 directly from Lulu.  Most books are sold via Amazon, with Ingram
  96 second and only a small fraction directly from Lulu.  The ebook
  97 edition is available for free from

 160         <p>For noen dager siden ble jeg tipset av min venn Andreas
 161 Aanerud om at <a href="http://magasinetpegasus.no">magasinet
 162 Pegasus</a> skulle ta i bruk
 163 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
 164 Commons</a>-lisensiering på sine artikler.  Han fortalte at den
 165 direkte årsaken var at han hadde blitt inspirert av å lese
 166 <a href=" http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">boken
 167 Fri kultur</a>
 168 (<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>)
 169 og foreslått endringen.  Jeg ble veldig glad for å høre
 170 dette, da det er det første konkrete tilfellet jeg har hørt om der den
 171 norske oversettelsen av <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">
 172 Lawrence Lessigs bok Free Culture</a> som jeg ga ut i fjor høst hadde
 173 fått noen til å ta i bruk Creative Commons.</p>
 174
 175 <p>Andreas fikk boken av meg som takk for at han inviterte meg til
 176 <a href="http://www.gathering.org/">The Gathering</a>, og jeg er veldig
 177 glad for at den falt i smak.  Jeg ble nysgjerrig på hva som var
 178 bakgrunnen for denne policy-endringen hos Hyperion og han sa seg
 179 villig til å la seg intervjue til bloggen min. </p>
 180
 181 <blockquote>
 182
 183 <p><strong>Hvilke tanker gjorde du deg da boken lå i hånden første
 184 gang?</strong></p>
 185
 186 <p>Jeg husker da jeg fikk boken, etter en omvisning på The Gathering i
 187 2016, der jeg var Core Organizer.  The Gathering er jo et sted hvor en
 188 fremmer delingskultur, i alt fra kode, til løsninger og «hacks», så en
 189 kan vel si at boken er veldig relevant!</p>
 190
 191 <p>Mine første tanker om boken, var at den trengte et grafisk løft.
 192 Selv har jeg dysleksi og er ikke verdens beste i å lese, men for meg
 193 så skal ikke det bety at jeg ikke klarer å lese.  Jeg har jo også mine
 194 egne tanker om «Fri kultur», ettersom jeg har jobbet med noen norske
 195 filmer via NRK og TV2 og nå sitter som en teknisk leder i
 196 filmavdelingen til Schjærven Reklamebyrå.</p>
 197
 198 <p><strong>Har du lest boken, og hva tenker du om den nå?</strong></p>
 199
 200 <p>Jeg har lest boken, og for meg er det jo veldig moro å kunne si at
 201 Disney var en pirat og nå ha bevisene.  Men det å gå fra Disney via
 202 RIAA, og så igjennom en jungel av teknikk og programmering og ende opp
 203 med spørsmålet om vi alle piratkopierer litt, er enda bedre.  For ja,
 204 boken klarer å få frem en diskusjon om åndsverk på en god måte
 205 gjennom en samling historier, men den viste meg også et bilde, hvor
 206 teknologi blir kneblet, og ikke får lov til å utvikle seg, ettersom
 207 «opphavsrettsinnehaverne» bryr seg mer om sin industri enn om verden
 208 går fremover.  Ta f.eks. internettradio!  Hvorfor tuller vi med DAB+
 209 og alt det der, når radio kan være en app på alle telefoner i dag.
 210 Men den største tanken som jeg satt igjen med, er at vi må få færre
 211 advokater og flere tenkere som kan dra oss vekk fra de feilene vi er i
 212 ferd med å ende opp i.</p>
 213
 214 <p><strong>Har budskapet i boken påvirker deg og det du holder på
 215 med?</strong></p>
 216
 217 <p>The Gathering sin moderforening er
 218 <a href="http://www.kandu.no/">KANDU</a>, som er et stolt medlem av <a
 219 href="http://n4f.no/">Hyperion</a>.  Hyperion har et mandat igjennom
 220 sitt interne magasin Pegasus å fremme Hyperion sine
 221 medlemsarrangementer og kultur. Dette tror jeg er veldig viktig, og en
 222 av de viktigste virkemidlene det magasinet nå har fått, er pålegget om
 223 å publisere alt under de forskjellige Creative Commons
 224 retningslinjer. Grunnen til at Pegasus kan velge fritt blant lisensene
 225 til Creative Commons er deres bruk av freelancere m.m. som også må få
 226 sine rettigheter dekket.</p>
 227
 228 <p>Det er et steg i riktig retning som jeg håper, vil gi lokalaviser,
 229 nasjonale aviser, bloggere m.m. muligheten til å referere til Pegasus
 230 sitt innhold uten å måtte be om tillatelse først, som i bunnen vil
 231 hjelpe oss å spre vår kultur i Hyperion.</p>
 232
 233 <p><strong>Hva fikk Pegasus til å vedta retninglinjer om bruk av
 234 Creative Commons, og hvordan kom dere frem til en slik
 235 policy?</strong></p>
 236
 237 <p>Dette skjedde på Hyperion sitt landsting, hvor jeg ønsket å fremme
 238 Creative Commons som en retning som flere mener magasinet burde ta,
 239 hvordan Pegasus tar det i bruk er mer opp til redaksjonen. Det som var
 240 trist er at en del har misforstått hva Creative Commons er.  Vi fikk
 241 en veldig het «debatt» på facebook i etterkant hvor noen blant annet
 242 mener at dette vedtaket har drept Pegasus.</p>
 243
 244 <p>Personlig syntes jeg disse reaksjonene er rare, ettersom Pegasus er
 245 et medlemsmagasin og magasinet sitt mål er å spre vår fantastiske
 246 kultur.  Jeg mener at Ceative Commons-bruksvilkår på artikler skaper
 247 en veldig god mulighet til å spre denne kulturen.  Det gjør at større
 248 og mindre aviser kan låne artikler fra medlemsmagasinet og publisere
 249 det hos seg, slik at effekten nettopp er fremme vår kultur.</p>
 250
 251 <p>Jeg gleder meg til å se hvordan redaksjonen håndhever bruken av
 252 Creative Commons.</p>
 253
 254 <p><strong>Hvem tror du kunne ha mest nytte av å lese Fri
 255 kultur?</strong></p>
 256
 257 <p>Jeg tror at boken Fri kultur bør leses av de som ønsker en debatt
 258 om nye medier, samt de som jobber med medier og føler seg «truet» av
 259 utviklingen. Kanskje det kan være et lysglimt om at vi må heller være
 260 med å utvikle oss, enn å stoppe opp og «beskytte» våre eier-, penge-
 261 og materielle interesser.</p>
 262
 263 <p>Spørsmålet for redaksjoner vil vel være om de «tjener» på klikk og
 264 sine artikler via annonser, i så fall ville jeg tenkt litt rundt
 265 spredningen.  Nettavisen Digi.no gjorde en analyse i 2015 som var
 266 veldig fin. Hvor de måtte konkludere med at de fikk ut budskapet
 267 bedre, men de mistet inntekter på annonsevisning.</p>
 268
 269 <p>Derfor for et magasin som skal «spre» kultur, så burde Creative
 270 Commons være en no-brainer, en kunne også kanskje argumentere med at
 271 NRK også burde gjøre dette, ettersom de ikke lever av reklame, og vi
 272 betaler for innholdet deres.</p>
 273
 274 <p><strong>Kommer du til å anbefale boken til noen du
 275 kjenner?</strong></p>
 276
 277 <p>Absolutt!  Jeg har faktisk tenkt å gi den videre som en vandrebok,
 278 til redaksjonen i Pegasus slik at de kan lese den og få noen ider og
 279 tanker om fri kultur.</p>
 280
 281 <p><strong>Du sier at boken klarer å få frem viktig en diskusjon om
 282   vern av åndsverk.  Boken er jo skrevet med bakgrunn i USAs
 283   Copyright-lovgiving og ikke den norske åndsverksloven.  Hva gjør at
 284   du mener boken er relevant for den norske debatten?</strong></p>
 285
 286 <p>En av tingene boken pekte på var tanken om hvor opphavsretten skal
 287 ligge.  Skal den ligge hos den som skriver sangen, den som fremfører
 288 eller den som tar opp sangen.  Og når spørsmålet kom tilbake i en
 289 software-utgave, «hvordan kan Adobe styre opphavsretten i sin eBook
 290 Publisher» så føler jeg at vi kommer inn på spennende tanker som jeg
 291 mener vi glemmer i norsk åndsverksdebatt.  USA har rett å slett et
 292 «større bilde» som kanskje vi kan ta lærdom av.</p>
 293
 294 </blockquote>
 295
 296 <p>Jeg er veldig spent på hvordan redaksjonen i Pegasus kommer til å
 297 ta i bruk Creative Commons, og gleder meg til neste tegn på at
 298 bokutgivelsen har fått noen til å tenke mer på problemene med dagens
 299 åndsverksvern.</p>

 319       <div class="body">
 320         <p>As my regular readers probably remember, the last year I published
 321 a French and Norwegian translation of the classic
 322 <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book</a> by the
 323 founder of the Creative Commons movement, Lawrence Lessig.  A bit less
 324 known is the fact that due to the way I created the translations,
 325 using docbook and po4a, I also recreated the English original.  And
 326 because I already had created a new the PDF edition, I published it
 327 too.  The revenue from the books are sent to the Creative Commons
 328 Corporation.  In other words, I do not earn any money from this
 329 project, I just earn the warm fuzzy feeling that the text is available
 330 for a wider audience and more people can learn why the Creative
 331 Commons is needed.</p>
 332
 333 <p>Today, just for fun, I had a look at the sales number over at
 334 Lulu.com, which take care of payment, printing and shipping.  Much to
 335 my surprise, the English edition is selling better than both the
 336 French and Norwegian edition, despite the fact that it has been
 337 available in English since it was first published.  In total, 24 paper
 338 books was sold for USD $19.99 between 2016-01-01 and 2016-07-31:</p>

 345 </table>
 346
 347 <p>The books are available both from Lulu.com and from large book
 348 stores like Amazon and Barnes&Noble.  Most revenue, around $10 per
 349 book, is sent to the Creative Commons project when the book is sold
 350 directly by Lulu.com.  The other channels give less revenue.  The
 351 summary from Lulu tell me 10 books was sold via the Amazon channel, 10
 352 via Ingram (what is this?) and 4 directly by Lulu.  And Lulu.com tells
 353 me that the revenue sent so far this year is USD $101.42.  No idea
 354 what kind of sales numbers to expect, so I do not know if that is a
 355 good amount of sales for a 10 year old book or not.  But it make me
 356 happy that the buyers find the book, and I hope they enjoy reading it
 357 as much as I did.</p>
 358
 359 <p>The ebook edition is available for free from
 360 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>

 388 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Libre-French-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018260">Amazon</a>
 389 ($19.99),
 390 <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/culture-libre-lawrence-lessig/1123776705">Barnes
 391 & Noble</a> ($?) and as always from
 392 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">Lulu.com</a>
 393 ($19.99).  The revenue is donated to the Creative Commons project.  If
 394 you buy from Lulu.com, they currently get $10.59, while if you buy
 395 from one of the book stores most of the revenue go to the book store
 396 and the Creative Commons project get much (not sure how much
 397 less).</p>
 398
 399 <p>I was a bit surprised to discover that there is a kindle edition
 400 sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC on Amazon.  Not quite sure how
 401 that edition was created, but if you want to download a electronic
 402 edition (PDF, EPUB, Mobi) generated from the same files used to create
 403 the paperback edition, they are
 404 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">available
 405 from github</a>.</p>

 426         <p>I'm happy to report that
 427 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">the
 428 French paperback edition</a> of
 429 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
 430 project to translate</a> the <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
 431 Culture</a> book by Lawrence Lessig is now available for sale on
 432 Lulu.com.  Once I have formally verified my proof reading copy, which
 433 should be in the mail, the paperback edition should be available in
 434 book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble too.</p>
 435
 436 <p>This French edition, Culture Libre, is the work of the
 437 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> developer Benoît
 438 Guillon, who created the PO file from the initial translation
 439 available from
 440 <a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">the Wikilivres
 441 wiki pages</a> and completed and corrected the translation to match
 442 the original docbook edition my project is using, as well as
 443 coordinated the proof reading of the final result.  I believe the end
 444 result look great, but I am biased and do not read French.  In
 445 addition to the paperback edition, the book is available in PDF, EPUB
 446 and Mobi format from the github project page linked to above.</p>
 447
 448 <p>When enabling book store distribution on Lulu.com, I had to nearly
 449 triple the price to allow the book stores some profit.  I also had to
 450 accept that I will get some revenue when a book is sold via Lulu.com.
 451 But because of the non-commercial clause in the book license
 452 (CC-BY-NC), this might be a problem.  To bypass the problem I
 453 discussed how to handle the revenue with the author, and we agreed
 454 that the revenue for these editions go to the
 455 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons non-profit
 456 Corporation</a> who handle donations to the Creative Commons project.
 457 So far they have earned around USD 70 on sales of the
 458 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22440520.html">English</a>
 459 and
 460 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Norwegian
 461 Bokmål</a> editions, according to Lulu.com.  They will get the revenue
 462 for the French edition too.  Their revenue is higher if you buy the
 463 book directly from Lulu.com instead of via a book store, so I
 464 recommend you buy directly from Lulu.com.</p>
 465
 466 <p>Perhaps you would like to get the book published in your language?
 467 The translation is done using a web based translator service, so the
 468 technical bar to enter is fairly low.  Get in touch if you would like
 469 to make this happen.</p>

 501
 502 <p>Jeg ble gledelig overrasket i dag da jeg oppdaget at boken jeg har
 503 gitt ut
 504 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fri-kultur-Norwegian-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018236/">hadde
 505 dukket opp i Amazon</a>.  Jeg hadde trodd det skulle ta lenger tid, da
 506 jeg fikk beskjed om at det skulle ta seks til åtte uker.
 507 Amazonoppføringen er et resultat av at jeg for noen uker siden
 508 diskuterte prissetting og håndtering av profitt med forfatteren.  Det
 509 måtte avklares da bruksvilkårene til boken har krav om
 510 ikke-kommersiell bruk.  Vi ble enige om at overskuddet fra salg av
 511 boken skal sendes til
 512 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons-stiftelsen</a>.
 513 Med det på plass kunne jeg be
 514 <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">lulu.com</a>
 515 om å gi boken «utvidet» distribusjon.  Årsaken til at
 516 bokhandeldistribusjon var litt utfordrende er at bokhandlere krever
 517 mulighet for profitt på bøkene de selger (selvfølgelig), og dermed
 518 måtte de få lov til å selge til høyere pris enn lulu.com.  I tillegg
 519 er det krav om samme pris på lulu.com og i bokhandlene, dermed blir
 520 prisen økt også hos lulu.com.  Hva skulle jeg gjøre med den profitten
 521 uten å bryte med klausulen om ikkekommersiell?  Løsningen var å gi
 522 bort profitten til CC-stiftelsen.  Prisen på boken ble nesten
 523 tredoblet, til $19.99 (ca. 160,-) pluss frakt, men synligheten øker
 524 betraktelig når den kan finnes i katalogene til store nettbokhandlere.
 525 Det betyr at hvis du allerede har kjøpt boken har du fått den veldig
 526 billig, og kjøper du den nå, får du den fortsatt billig samt donerer i
 527 tillegg noen tiere til fremme av Creative Commons.</p>
 528
 529 <p>Mens jeg var i gang med å titte etter informasjon om boken
 530 oppdaget jeg  at den også var dukket opp på
 531 <a href="https://books.google.no/books?id=uKUGCwAAQBAJ">Google
 532 Books</a>, der en kan lese den på web.  PDF-utgaven har ennå ikke
 533 dukket opp hos <a href="https://www.nb.no/">Nasjonalbiblioteket</a>,
 534 men det regner jeg med kommer på plass i løpet av noen uker.  Boken er
 535 heller ikke dukket opp hos
 536 <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/">Barnes & Noble</a> ennå, men
 537 jeg antar det bare er et tidsspørsmål før dette er på plass.</p>
 538
 539 <p>Boken er dessverre ikke tilgjengelig fra norske bokhandlere, og
 540 kommer neppe til å bli det med det første.  Årsaken er at for å få det
 541 til måtte jeg personlig håndtere bestilling av bøker, hvilket jeg ikke
 542 er interessert i å bruke tid på.  Jeg kunne betalt ca 2000,- til
 543 <a href="http://www.bokbasen.no/">den norske bokbasen</a>, en felles
 544 database over bøker tilgjengelig for norske bokhandlere, for å få en
 545 oppføring der, men da måtte jeg tatt imot bestillinger på epost og
 546 sendt ut bøker selv.  Det ville krevd at jeg var klar til å
 547 sende ut bøker på kort varsel, dvs. holdt meg med ekstra bøker,
 548 konvolutter og frimerker.  Bokbasen har visst ikke opplegg for å be
 549 bokhandlene bestille direkte via web, så jeg droppet oppføring der.
 550 Jeg har spurt Haugen bok og Tronsmo direkte på epost om de er
 551 interessert i å ta inn boken i sin bestillingskatalog, men ikke fått
 552 svar, så jeg antar de ikke er interessert.  Derimot har jeg fått en
 553 hyggelig henvendelse fra Biblioteksentralen som fortalte at de har
 554 lagt den inn i sin database slik at deres bibliotekskunder enkelt kan
 555 bestille den via dem.</p>
 556
 557 <p>Boken er i følge
 558 <a href="http://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&indx=1&recIds=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&recIdxs=0&elementId=0&renderMode=poppedOut&displayMode=full&frbrVersion=&dscnt=0&tab=library_catalogue&dstmp=1448543801124&vl(freeText0)=fri%20kultur&vid=UBO&mode=Basic">Bibsys/Oria</a>
 559 og bokdatabasen til
 560 <a href="https://www.deich.folkebibl.no/cgi-bin/websok?tnr=1819617">Deichmanske</a>
 561 tilgjengelig fra flere biblioteker allerede, og alle eksemplarer er
 562 visst allerede utlånt med ventetid.  Det synes jeg er veldig gledelig
 563 å se.  Jeg håper mange kommer til å lese boken.  Jeg tror den er
 564 spesielt egnet for foreldre og bekjente av oss nerder for å forklare
 565 hva slags problemer vi ser med dagens opphavsrettsregime.</p>

 587 published last week, the Norwegian Bokmål edition of Lawrence Lessigs
 588 book <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>.  It was
 589 published on paper via lulu.com, and is also available in PDF, ePub
 590 and MOBI format.  I currently sell the paper edition for self cost
 591 from lulu.com, but might extend the distribution to book stores like
 592 Amazon and Barnes & Noble later.  This will double the price and force
 593 me to make a profit from selling the book.  Anyway, here are links to
 594 get the book in different formats:</p>

 655
 656 <p><strong>Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok</strong></p>
 657
 658 <p>I dag kommer boken «<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Fri
 659 kultur</a>» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk.  Boken handler om
 660 utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
 661 Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
 662 Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
 663 seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
 664 opphavsretten.</p>
 665
 666 <p>Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
 667 opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
 668 kreativiteten.  Den er skrevet av stifteren av
 669 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, professor
 670 Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
 671 <a href="https://lessig2016.us/">presidentkandidat i USA sitt
 672 presidentvalg i 2016</a>.  Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
 673 NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
 674 som også er
 675 <a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">tilgjengelig
 676 fra The Internet Archive</a>.</p>
 677
 678 <p>Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
 679 betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
 680 32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
 681 enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
 682 definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
 683 en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
 684 av mediebransjen.  Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
 685 lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
 686 praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
 687 Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
 688 stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.</p>
 689
 690 <p>Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler.  For eksempel
 691 en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
 692 opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
 693 1930-tallet.  Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
 694 mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.<?p>
 695
 696 <p>Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
 697 boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
 698 forskjell.  «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
 699 opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
 700 hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
 701 Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
 702 Partnership
 703 <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared">ønsker
 704 å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land</a>, håper jeg at flere
 705 vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
 706 Norge?», spør han.  «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
 707 forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
 708 beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
 709 Norge.»</p>
 710
 711 <p>Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
 712 vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
 713 Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
 714 Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
 715 omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
 716 var en oppvekker.  «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
 717 jeg gjorde.  Boken kan
 718 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">lastes
 719 gratis ned fra github</a> eller
 720 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">kjøpes
 721 på papir fra lulu.com</a>,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.</p>

 753 for å foreslå noen løsninger.  Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
 754 inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
 755 Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken.  Den gir en god
 756 gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
 757 nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
 758 vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.</p>
 759
 760 <p>Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
 761 bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
 762 som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk.  Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
 763 av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
 764 norsk og en på engelsk.  Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
 765 den norske utgaven på papir
 766 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">er
 767 nå klar for salg</a>.  Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
 768 korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige.  Se
 769 side 245 for en komplett liste.  Slik ser omslaget ut:

 772
 773 <p>I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
 774 fransk utgave.  Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
 775 og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
 776 kan gis ut.  Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
 777 hvis du vil bidra.</p>
 778
 779 <p>Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
 780 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">min
 781 github-prosjektside</a>.  Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
 782 formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
 783 dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
 784 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
 785 og
 786 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
 787 men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene.  For de som
 788 vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
 789 denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
 790 har tilgjengelig.</p>
 791
 792 <p>Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
 793 <a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a> til å
 794 sponse trykking av boken.  Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
 795 på baksiden av omslaget.  Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
 796 bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
 797 Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.</p>

 820
 821 <p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
 822 movement</a> gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
 823 book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
 824 Culture</a> to explain the problems with increasing copyright
 825 regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
 826 was very moved by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
 827 way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
 828 would read it too.</p>
 829
 830 <p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
 831 Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
 832 that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
 833 docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
 834 new edition of the English original.  I've been in touch with the
 835 author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
 836 published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
 837 this edition
 838 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available
 839 for sale on Lulu.com</a>, for those interested in a paper book.  This
 840 is the cover:

 843
 844 <p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
 845 few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
 846 months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
 847 join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
 848 person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
 849 need some proof reading.</p>
 850
 851 <p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
 852 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
 853 github project page</a>.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
 854 formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
 855 dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
 856 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
 857 and
 858 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
 859 but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
 860 ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
 861 have available.</p>
 862
 863 <p>After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
 864 to secure some sponsoring from
 865 <a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">the NUUG Foundation</a> to
 866 print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
 867 cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
 868 give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
 869 Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.</p>

 891 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Free

 894 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> helper and
 895 developer of the dblatex docbook processor, Benoît Guillon, decided a
 896 to try to create a French version of the book.  He started with the
 897 French translation available from the
 898 <a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">Wikilivres wiki
 899 pages</a>, and wrote a program to convert it into a PO file, allowing
 900 the translation to be integrated into the po4a based framework I use
 901 to create the Norwegian translation from the English edition.  We meet
 902 on the <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23dblatex">#dblatex IRC
 903 channel</a> to discuss the work.  If you want to help create a French
 904 edition, check out
 905 <a href="https://github.com/marsgui/free-culture-lessig">his git
 906 repository</a> and join us on IRC.  If the French edition look good,
 907 we might publish it as a paper book on lulu.com.  A French version of
 908 the drawings and the cover need to be provided for this to happen.</p>

 929         <p>Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
 930 I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
 931 the
 932 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Free
 933 Culture</a> book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
 934 vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
 935 were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
 936
 937 <p>But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
 938 the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
 939 <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape">#inkscape IRC channel</a>
 940 on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
 941 to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
 942 version.  Not only did he create a
 943 <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg ">SVG document with
 944 the original and his vector version side by side</a>, he even provided
 945 an <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv">instruction
 946 video</a> explaining how he did it</a>.  But the instruction video is
 947 not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
 948 recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
 949 the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
 950 use some keyboard shortcuts that can't be seen on the video, but it
 951 give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
 952 stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.</p>
 953
 954 <p>I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
 955 on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
 956 current english version look like this:</p>
 957
 958 <img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png" width="70%" align="center"/>
 959
 960 <p>I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
 961 do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
 962 hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
 963 Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
 964 replaced with the Norwegian version.</p>
 965
 966 <p>The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
 967 to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
 968 final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
 969 before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
 970 English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I'm waiting to give the the productive
 971 proof readers a chance to complete their work.</p>

 992         <p>Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
 993 translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
 994 years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
 995 printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
 996 irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
 997 to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
 998 good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
 999 pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
1000 pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
1001 small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
1002 tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
1003 small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
1004 instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
1005 URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
1006 The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
1007 change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
1008 printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)</p>
1009
1010 <p>Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
1011 store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
1012 readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
1013 willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
1014 file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
1015 a graphics designer are mostly missing.</p>

1036         <p>Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
1037 mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
1038 on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
1039 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> based version of the
1040 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> book by Lawrence
1041 Lessig.  I've been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
1042 give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
1043 its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
1044 helpful in solving my formatting challenges.</p>
1045
1046 <p>Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
1047 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu.com</a> complain after uploading,
1048 and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
1049 proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
1050 should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.</p>
1051
1052 <p>Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
1053 <a href="http://www.createspace.com/">CreateSpace</a>, but ended up
1054 using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
1055 to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
1056 similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
1057 let me know if I am missing out on something here.</p>
1058
1059 <p>But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
1060 pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
1061 (5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
1062 15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
1063 smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
1064 pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
1065 but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
1066 bring the prize down further.</p>
1067
1068 <p>My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
1069 inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
1070 cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
1071 the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
1072 description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
1073 if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
1074 the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
1075 to the task.</p>
1076
1077 <p>I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
1078 paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
1079 status can as usual be found on
1080 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>
1081 in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
1082 PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
1083 dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
1084 expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
1085 formatting.</p>
1086
1087 <p>Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
1088 discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
1089 reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
1090 result in a few months.</p>

1111         <p>I'm still working on the Norwegian version of the
1112 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book by Lawrence
1113 Lessig</a>, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
1114 One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
1115 original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
1116 chapter.  Based on the
1117 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/685063">feedback from the Debian
1118 maintainer and the dblatex developer</a>, I came up with this recipe I
1119 would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
1120 class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
1121 practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
1122 file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
1123 parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
1124 the generated LaTeX File.</p>
1125
1126 <p>First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
1127 and add this text there:</p>

1132
1133 <p>Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
1134 code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
1135 generated LaTeX document, with content like this:</p>
1136
1137 <pre>
1138 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1139 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1140   &lt;xsl:param name="latex.begindocument"&gt;
1141     &lt;xsl:text&gt;
1142 \usepackage{endnotes}
1143 \let\footnote=\endnote
1144 \def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
1145 \begin{document}
1146     &lt;/xsl:text&gt;
1147   &lt;/xsl:param&gt;
1148 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1149 </pre>
1150
1151 <p>Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
1152 this:</p>
1153
1154 <pre>
1155 dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml

1218         <p>For noen dager siden
1219 <a href="http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket">annonserte
1220 Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten</a> om at de i sine arkiver hadde
1221 funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
1222 Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
1223 nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
1224 Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
1225 magasin.  Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv.  5,5
1226 minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.</p>
1227
1228 <p>Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
1229 publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek?  Forklaringen
1230 har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
1231 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>, som jeg holder på
1232 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">å
1233 oversette til norsk</a>:</p>
1234
1235 <p><blockquote>
1236 <p>Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
1237   amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
1238   biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
1239   og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
1240   utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.</p>
1241
1242 <p>Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
1243   kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
1244   opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
1245   filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
1246   så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
1247   filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
1248   i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
1249   eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
1250   til filmselskapet.</p>
1251 </blockquote></p>
1252
1253 <p>Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
1254 fri.  En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
1255 allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
1256 felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
1257 det i starten av sin karriere.  Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
1258 sa nei.  Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film?  Jeg besteme
1259 meg for å undersøke nærmere.  En kan finne informasjon om den norske
1260 vernetiden på
1261 <a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2">Lovdata</a>
1262 og </a>Wikipedia</A>.  Her er et relevant <a
1263 href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid">utsnitt fra
1264 siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia</a>:</p>
1265
1266 <p><blockquote>
1267   Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
1268   år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår.  [...]  For filmverk
1269   gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
1270   i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
1271   dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
1272   begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
1273   disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
1274   år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
1275   økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
1276   utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
1277   blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
1278   tilgjengeliggjøring.

1301 <p>Alle fødsels- og dødsdatoene er fra engelske Wikipedia.  Det er
1302 ikke oppgitt navn på manusforfatter, dialogforfatter og komponist, men
1303 jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
1304 i Norge, og tar derfor med disse.  Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
1305 rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.</p>
1306
1307 <p>Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
1308 filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
1309 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
1310 relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Etter
1311 det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
1312 offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
1313 på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.</p>
1314
1315 <p>Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
1316 sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format?  Nei, heldigvis.
1317 Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-
1318 og forskningsinstitusjoner har rett til å fremstille eksemplar av verk
1319 for konserverings- og sikringsformål og andre særskilte formål.</p>
1320
1321 <p>Oppdatering 2017-11-24: I følge
1322 <a href="http://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/exposed-disneys-repurchase-of-oswald-the-rabbit-a-sham.4792291/">en
1323 lengre post på toonzone.net</a>, så er denne filmen i det fri i USA på
1324 grunn av at åndsverksbeskyttelsen ikke ble fornyet i 1955 (se selv i
1325 <a href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/">Copyright
1326 Registration And Renewal Records</a>).</p>

1398         <p>It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
1399 have worked on a Norwegian
1400 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
1401 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
1402 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
1403 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
1404 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
1405 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
1406 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
1407 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
1408 progress of the translation:</p>
1409
1410 <p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
1411
1412 <p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
1413 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
1414 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
1415 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
1416 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
1417 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
1418 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
1419 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
1420 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
1421 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
1422 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</p>
1423
1424 <p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
1425 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
1426 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1427 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
1428 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
1429 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
1430 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
1431 project files currently available from
1432 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
1433

1439 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
1440 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
1441 saw no point in linking to that version.</p>

1462         <p>A few days ago, during a discussion in
1463 <a href="http://www.efn.no/">EFN</a> about interesting books to read
1464 about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
1465 the 1968 short story Kodémus by
1466 <a href="http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/">Tore Åge Bringsværd</a>
1467 came up.  The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
1468 easily available for current and future generations.  Some of the
1469 people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
1470 reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
1471 short story using a <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative
1472 Commons</a> license.  The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
1473 were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.</p>
1474
1475 <p>As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
1476 provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
1477 Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
1478 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook</a> processing framework to
1479 generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story.  The tools to
1480 transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
1481 distribution of choice, <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>, so
1482 all I had to do was to use the

1485 and <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/">xmlto</a> tools to do the
1486 conversion.  After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
1487 xsltproc/fop (aka
1488 <a href="http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets">docbook-xsl</a>),
1489 to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
1490 nicer &lt;variablelist&gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
1491 technical detail.</p>
1492
1493 <p>There were a few challenges, of course.  We want to typeset the
1494 short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
1495 control over the layout.  The original short story have three
1496 parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
1497 the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
1498 that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.</p>
1499
1500 <p>I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
1501 single star in it, ie &lt;para&gt;*&lt;/para&gt;, but it made sure a
1502 placeholder indicated where the scene shifted.  This did not look too
1503 good without the centring.  The next approach was to create a new
1504 preprocessor directive &lt;?newscene?&gt;, mapping to "&lt;hr/&gt;"
1505 for HTML and "&lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;&lt;fo:leader
1506 leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;&lt;/fo:block&gt;"
1507 for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
1508 switched at this time).  The HTML XSL file looked like this:</p>
1509
1510 <p><blockquote><pre>
1511 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1512 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1513   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
1514     &lt;hr/&gt;
1515   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1516 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1517 </pre></blockquote></p>
1518
1519 <p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
1520
1521 <p><blockquote><pre>
1522 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1523 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1524   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
1525     &lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;
1526       &lt;fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;
1527     &lt;/fo:block&gt;
1528   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1529 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1530 </pre></blockquote></p>
1531
1532 <p>Finally, I came across the &lt;bridgehead&gt; tag, which seem to be
1533 a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &lt;?newscene?&gt;
1534 with &lt;bridgehead&gt;*&lt;/bridgehead&gt;.  It isn't centred, but we
1535 can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn't
1536 enough.</p>
1537
1538 <p>I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
1539 linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
1540 directive &lt;?linebreak?&gt;, mapping to &lt;br/&gt; in HTML, and
1541 &lt;fo:block/&gt; in FO/PDF.  I suspect there are better ways to do
1542 this, and welcome ideas and patches on github.  The HTML XSL file now
1543 look like this:</p>
1544
1545 <p><blockquote><pre>
1546 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1547 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1548   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
1549     &lt;br/&gt;
1550   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1551 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1552 </pre></blockquote></p>
1553
1554 <p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
1555
1556 <p><blockquote><pre>
1557 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1558 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'
1559   xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"&gt;
1560   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
1561     &lt;fo:block/&gt;
1562   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1563 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1564 </pre></blockquote></p>
1565
1566 <p>One unsolved challenge is our wish to expose different ISBN numbers
1567 per publication format, while keeping all of them in some conditional
1568 structure in the DocBook source.  No idea how to do this, so we ended
1569 up listing all the ISBN numbers next to their format in the colophon
1570 page.</p>
1571
1572 <p>If you want to check out the finished result, check out the
1573 <a href="https://github.com/sickel/kodemus">source repository at
1574 github</a>
1575 (<a href="https://github.com/EFN/kodemus">future/new/official

1577 days.</p>

1607 <p>Det betyr en vernetid langt ut over det kommersielle livet til de

1623 gjør at mange verk glemmes og går tapt, noe som er skadelig for norsk
1624 språk og kultur. Vi til tilbake til start: 14 års

1630 </blockquote>
1631
1632 <p>Den opprinnelige opphavsretten var på 14 år totalt, ikke 14 år
1633 etter opphavspersonens død.  Jeg tenkte først dette kanskje var
1634 feilsitering fra Aftenposten, men jeg finner samme påstand i en <a
1635 href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggpost
1636 fra Geir Aaslid</a> på Piratpartietes offisielle nettsider.  Der
1637 skriver han følgende:</p>
1638
1639 <blockquote>
1640 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
1641 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
1642 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett på levetid + 14 år er
1643 fullt ut tilfredstillende for musikk, film, litteratur og spill.
1644 </blockquote>
1645
1646 <p>Det virker dermed på meg som om Piratpartiet allerede har gjort
1647 retrett fra sin beundringsverdige holdning om at det holdt med 14 års
1648 total vernetid, til sin nye som tar utgangspunkt i levetiden til
1649 opphavspersonen.  Jeg håper det baserer seg på en misforståelse hos
1650 piratlederen som blir korrigert tilbake til 14 års total vernetid før
1651 partiet stiller til valg.</p>
1652
1653 <p>Hvis du lurer på hvilke problemer lang vernetid bringer med seg,
1654 anbefaler jeg å lese boken <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
1655 Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig.  Jeg og en liten gruppe andre er igang
1656 med å
1657 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">oversette
1658 boken til bokmål</a> og tar gjerne imot hjelp med oversettelse og
1659 korrekturlesing.</p>
1660
1661 <p><strong>Oppdatering 2012-12-20</strong>: Oppdaget at
1662 <a href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggposten
1663 til Geir Aaslid</a> er endret siden i går, og nå inneholder følgende
1664 avsnitt i stedet for det jeg siterte over:</p>
1665
1666 <blockquote>
1667 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så

1669 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett lik levetiden, evt + 14 år
1670 er fullt ut tilfredstillende for mange skapere av musikk, film,
1671 litteratur og spill. Det er for det meste de store forlagene som er
1672 imot enhver reform.
1673 </blockquote>
1674
1675 <p>I tillegg har det dukket opp en setning nederst "Dette dokumentet
1676 er et utkast til svar på et angrep på Piratpartiet fra Gramo. Det
1677 endrer seg derfor over tid og den endelige versjonen er det som blir
1678 publisert på Hardware.no", som tyder på at originalformuleringen ikke
1679 var veloverveid og sitatet i Aftenposten kanskje var basert på en
1680 misforståelse.</p>

1701         <p>While working on a
1702 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Norwegian
1703 translation of the Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig</a> (76% done),
1704 which cover the problems with todays copyright law and how it stifles
1705 creativity, one idea occurred to me.  The idea is to get the tax
1706 office to help make more works enter the public domain and also help
1707 make it easier to clear rights for using copyrighted works.</p>
1708
1709 <p>I mentioned this idea briefly during Yesterdays
1710 <a href="http://www.farmann.no/2012/11/14/john-perry-barlow-in-oslo-friday-nov-16
1711 -15-30-19-00/">presentation
1712 by John Perry Barlow</a>, and concluded that it was best to put it
1713 in writing for a wider audience.  The idea is not really based on the
1714 argument that copyrighted works are "intellectual property", as the
1715 core requirement is that copyrighted work have value for the copyright
1716 holder and the tax office like to collect their share from any value
1717 controlled by the citizens in a country.  I'm sharing the idea here to
1718 let others consider it and perhaps shoot it down with a fresh set of
1719 arguments.</p>
1720
1721 <p>Most valuables are taxed by the government.  At least here in
1722 Norway, the amount of money you have, the value of our land property,
1723 the value of your house, the value of your car, the value of our
1724 stocks and other valuables are all added together.  If the tax value
1725 of these values exceed your debt, you have to pay the tax office some
1726 taxes for these values.  And copyrighted work have value.  It have
1727 value for the rights holder, who can earn money selling access to the
1728 work.  But it is not included in the tax calculations?  Why not?</p>
1729
1730 <p>If the government want to tax copyrighted works, it would want to
1731 maintain a database of all the copyrighted works and who are the
1732 rights holders for a given works, to be able to associate the works
1733 value to the right citizen or company for tax purposes.  If such
1734 database exist, it will become a lot easier to find out who to talk to
1735 for clearing permissions to use a copyrighted work, which is a very
1736 hard operation with todays copyright law.  To ensure that copyright
1737 holders keep the database up-to-date, it would have to become a
1738 requirement to be able to collect money for granting access to
1739 copyrighted works that the work is listed in the database with the
1740 correct right holder.</p>
1741
1742 <p>If copyright causes copyright holders to have to pay more taxes,
1743 they will have a small incentive to "disown" their copyright, and let
1744 the work enter the public domain. For works with several right holders
1745 one of the right holders could state (and get it registered in the
1746 database) that she do not need to be consulted when clearing rights to
1747 use the work in question and thus will not get any income from that
1748 work.  Stating this would have to be impossible to revert and stop the
1749 tax office from adding the value of that work to the given citizens
1750 tax calculation.  I assume the copyright law would stay the same,
1751 allowing creators to pick a license of their choosing, and also
1752 allowing them to put their work directly in the public domain.  The
1753 existence of such database will make it even easier to clear rights,
1754 and if the right holders listed in the database is taxed, this system
1755 would increase the amount of works that enter the public domain.</p>
1756
1757 <p>The effect would be that the tax office help to make it easier to
1758 get rights to use the works that have not yet entered the public
1759 domain and help to get more work into the public domain and .</p>
1760
1761 <p>Why have such taxing not happened yet?  I am sure the tax office
1762 would like to tax copyrighted work values if they could.</p>

1795 strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With

1836 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
1837 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
1838 I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an
1839 English book.  It is a marvellous set of examples on how the ever
1840 expanding copyright regulations hurt culture and society.  When the

1849 <p>Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark.  Then more than 50% of
1850 the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
1851 titles and index entries are also counted).  All parts from the
1852 beginning up to and including chapter four is translated.  So is
1853 chapters six, seven and the conclusion.  I created a graph to show the
1854 progress:</p>

1858 <p>The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
1859 entries into the docbook.  They were missing with the docbook version
1860 I initially started with.  There are still quite a few index entries
1861 missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done.  I
1862 currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete

1867 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1868 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
1869 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
1870 around?  I am sure there are some legal terms that are unfamiliar to
1871 me.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out the
1872 project files currently available from <a
1873 href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
1874
1875 <p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
1876 the updated
1877 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
1878 and
1879 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
1880 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
1881 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
1882 saw no point in linking to that version.</p>

1903         <p>In <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> one can specify
1904 the language used at the top, and the processing pipeline will use
1905 this information to pick the correct translations for 'chapter', 'see
1906 also', 'index' etc.  And for most languages used with docbook, I guess
1907 this work just fine.  For example a German user can start the document
1908 with &lt;book lang="de"&gt;, and the document will show up with the
1909 correct content with any of the docbook processors.  This is not the
1910 case for the language
1911 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Free_Culture_in_Norwegian___5_chapters_done__74_percent_left_to_do.html">I
1912 am working with at the moment</a>, Norwegian Bokmål.</p>
1913
1914 <p>For a while, I was confused about which language code to use,
1915 because I was unable to find any language code that would work across
1916 all tools.  I am currently testing dblatex, xmlto, docbook-xsl, and
1917 dbtoepub, and they do not handle Norwegian Bokmål the same way.  Some
1918 of them do not handle it at all.</p>
1919
1920 <p>A bit of background information is probably needed to understand
1921 this mess.  Norwegian is not one, but two written variants.  The
1922 variants are Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.  There are three
1923 two letter language codes associated with these languages, Norwegian
1924 is 'no', Norwegian Nynorsk is 'nn' and Norwegian Bokmål is 'nb'.
1925 Historically the 'no' language code was used for Norwegian Bokmål, but
1926 many years ago this was found to be å bad idea, and the recommendation
1927 is to use the most specific language code instead, to avoid confusion.
1928 In the transition period it is a good idea to make sure 'no' was an
1929 alias for 'nb'.</p>
1930
1931 <p>Back to docbook processing tools in Debian.  The dblatex tool only
1932 understand 'nn'.  There are translations for 'no', but not 'nb' (BTS
1933 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/684391">#684391</a>), but due to a bug
1934 (BTS <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">#682936</a>) the 'no'
1935 language code is not recognised.  The docbook-xsl tool chain only
1936 recognise 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The xmlto tool only recognise
1937 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The end result that there is no language
1938 code I can use to get the docbook file working with all of these tools
1939 at the same time. :(</p>
1940
1941 <p>The correct solution is to use &lt;book lang="nb"&gt;, but it will
1942 take time before that will work with all the free software docbook
1943 processors. :(</p>
1944
1945 <p>Oh, the joy of well integrated tools. :/</p>

1967 <a href="https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/">docbook-apps
1968 mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org</a>, but it only accept messages

1970 bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
1971 try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
1972 out.</p>
1973
1974 <p>I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
1975 learning curve at the moment.</p>
1976
1977 <p>To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
1978 translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
1979 docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
1980 available from
1981 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.
1982 The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
1983 index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
1984 software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
1985 Squeeze.</p>
1986
1987 <p>I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
1988 tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
1989 formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
1990 problems.</p>
1991
1992 <ul>
1993
1994 <li>Using dblatex, the &lt;part&gt; handling is not the way I want to,
1995    as &lt;/part&gt; do not really end the &lt;part&gt;. (See
1996    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683166">BTS report #683166</a>), the
1997    xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
1998    index references spanning several pages (See
1999    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682901">BTS report #682901</a>), and
2000    I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
2001    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">BTS report #682936</a>).</li>
2002
2003 <li>Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
2004    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683163">BTS report
2005    #683163</a>).</li>
2006
2007 <li>Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
2008    show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
2009    footnote and text body, see
2010    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683197">BTS report #683197</a>), and
2011    fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
2012    refs listed are not right).</li>
2013
2014 <li>Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.</li>
2015
2016 <li>Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
2017    index problems the xmlto + fop processing.</li>
2018
2019 </ul>
2020
2021 <p>So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
2022 of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
2023 experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?</p>
2024
2025 <p>What about HTML and EPUB versions?</p>

2048 norwegian version</a> of the book
2049 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig.
2050 Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
2051 Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six.  The source files as well as a
2052 PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
2053 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
2054
2055 <p>I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
2056 (preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
2057 completely translated.  This completes 26 percent of the number of
2058 strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
2059 percent left to translate.  A graph of the progress is present at the
2060 bottom of the github project page.  There is still room for more
2061 contributors.  Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
2062 you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
2063 print. :)</p>
2064
2065 <p>The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
2066 translations, if you want the book to be available in your
2067 language.</p>

2128         <p>Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
2129 «<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en">Free Software,
2130 "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer"</a>».  Men det er
2131 ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
2132 gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
2133 programvare, "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som "gratis øl"», og det
2134 går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er

2138 oversettelse.</p>
2139
2140 <p>Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
2141 fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket "fri bar".  Dermed blir
2142 oversettelsen «Fri programvare - "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som i

2171         <p>Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
2172 det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
2173 Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
2174 og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
2175 representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
2176 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig
2177 som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
2178 prioritere utvikling i
2179 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>-prosjektet i
2180 stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
2181 ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
2182 bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
2183 sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
2184 fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
2185 i debatten.</p>
2186
2187 <p>Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
2188 trykking med en av de mange
2189 <a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel">trykk på
2190 forespørsel</a>-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
2191 til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
2192 oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
2193 publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
2194 <a href="http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/">Eirik
2195 Newth</a> og
2196 <a href="http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html">Espen
2197 Andersen</a> om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
2198 forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
2199 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu</a> er en grei leverandør av
2200 trykketjenester til prosjektet.</p>
2201
2202 <p>Jeg har satt opp
2203 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">et
2204 Github-prosjekt</a> for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
2205 fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
2206 oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
2207 kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
2208 oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
2209 oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
2210 byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
2211 teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
2212 igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
2213 til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
2214 boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
2215 oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
2216 høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
2217 konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
2218 gjennomføre oversettelsen.</p>
2219
2220 <p>Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
2221 stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
2222 bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
2223 følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
2224 det blir i størrelsen 5,5" x 8.5" (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
2225 så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
2226 sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
2227 ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
2228 sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
2229 porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.</p>

2231 <p>Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
2232 og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
2233 slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.</p>
