  31         <p>I'm happy to report that
  32 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">the
  33 French paperback edition</a> of
  34 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
  35 project to translate</a> the <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
  36 Culture</a> book by Lawrence Lessig is now available for sale on
  37 Lulu.com.  Once I have formally verified my proof reading copy, which
  38 should be in the mail, the paperback edition should be available in
  39 book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble too.</p>
  40
  41 <p>This French edition, Culture Libre, is the work of the
  42 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> developer Benoît
  43 Guillon, who created the PO file from the initial translation
  44 available from
  45 <a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">the Wikilivres
  46 wiki pages</a> and completed and corrected the translation to match
  47 the original docbook edition my project is using, as well as
  48 coordinated the proof reading of the final result.  I believe the end
  49 result look great, but I am biased and do not read French.  In
  50 addition to the paperback edition, the book is available in PDF, EPUB
  51 and Mobi format from the github project page linked to above.</p>
  52
  53 <p>When enabling book store distribution on Lulu.com, I had to nearly
  54 triple the price to allow the book stores some profit.  I also had to
  55 accept that I will get some revenue when a book is sold via Lulu.com.
  56 But because of the non-commercial clause in the book license
  57 (CC-BY-NC), this might be a problem.  To bypass the problem I
  58 discussed how to handle the revenue with the author, and we agreed
  59 that the revenue for these editions go to the
  60 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons non-profit
  61 Corporation</a> who handle donations to the Creative Commons project.
  62 So far they have earned around USD 70 on sales of the
  63 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22440520.html">English</a>
  64 and
  65 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Norwegian
  66 Bokmål</a> editions, according to Lulu.com.  They will get the revenue
  67 for the French edition too.  Their revenue is higher if you buy the
  68 book directly from Lulu.com instead of via a book store, so I
  69 recommend you buy directly from Lulu.com.</p>
  70
  71 <p>Perhaps you would like to get the book published in your language?
  72 The translation is done using a web based translator service, so the
  73 technical bar to enter is fairly low.  Get in touch if you would like
  74 to make this happen.</p>

 107 <p>Jeg ble gledelig overrasket i dag da jeg oppdaget at boken jeg har
 108 gitt ut
 109 <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fri-kultur-Norwegian-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018236/">hadde
 110 dukket opp i Amazon</a>.  Jeg hadde trodd det skulle ta lenger tid, da
 111 jeg fikk beskjed om at det skulle ta seks til åtte uker.
 112 Amazonoppføringen er et resultat av at jeg for noen uker siden
 113 diskuterte prissetting og håndtering av profitt med forfatteren.  Det
 114 måtte avklares da bruksvilkårene til boken har krav om
 115 ikke-kommersiell bruk.  Vi ble enige om at overskuddet fra salg av
 116 boken skal sendes til
 117 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons-stiftelsen</a>.
 118 Med det på plass kunne jeg be
 119 <a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">lulu.com</a>
 120 om å gi boken «utvidet» distribusjon.  Årsaken til at
 121 bokhandeldistribusjon var litt utfordrende er at bokhandlere krever
 122 mulighet for profitt på bøkene de selger (selvfølgelig), og dermed
 123 måtte de få lov til å selge til høyere pris enn lulu.com.  I tillegg
 124 er det krav om samme pris på lulu.com og i bokhandlene, dermed blir
 125 prisen økt også hos lulu.com.  Hva skulle jeg gjøre med den profitten
 126 uten å bryte med klausulen om ikkekommersiell?  Løsningen var å gi
 127 bort profitten til CC-stiftelsen.  Prisen på boken ble nesten
 128 tredoblet, til $19.99 (ca. 160,-) pluss frakt, men synligheten øker
 129 betraktelig når den kan finnes i katalogene til store nettbokhandlere.
 130 Det betyr at hvis du allerede har kjøpt boken har du fått den veldig
 131 billig, og kjøper du den nå, får du den fortsatt billig samt donerer i
 132 tillegg noen tiere til fremme av Creative Commons.</p>
 133
 134 <p>Mens jeg var i gang med å titte etter informasjon om boken
 135 oppdaget jeg  at den også var dukket opp på
 136 <a href="https://books.google.no/books?id=uKUGCwAAQBAJ">Google
 137 Books</a>, der en kan lese den på web.  PDF-utgaven har ennå ikke
 138 dukket opp hos <a href="https://www.nb.no/">Nasjonalbiblioteket</a>,
 139 men det regner jeg med kommer på plass i løpet av noen uker.  Boken er
 140 heller ikke dukket opp hos
 141 <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/">Barnes & Noble</a> ennå, men
 142 jeg antar det bare er et tidsspørsmål før dette er på plass.</p>
 143
 144 <p>Boken er dessverre ikke tilgjengelig fra norske bokhandlere, og
 145 kommer neppe til å bli det med det første.  Årsaken er at for å få det
 146 til måtte jeg personlig håndtere bestilling av bøker, hvilket jeg ikke
 147 er interessert i å bruke tid på.  Jeg kunne betalt ca 2000,- til
 148 <a href="http://www.bokbasen.no/">den norske bokbasen</a>, en felles
 149 database over bøker tilgjengelig for norske bokhandlere, for å få en
 150 oppføring der, men da måtte jeg tatt imot bestillinger på epost og
 151 sendt ut bøker selv.  Det ville krevd at jeg var klar til å
 152 sende ut bøker på kort varsel, dvs. holdt meg med ekstra bøker,
 153 konvolutter og frimerker.  Bokbasen har visst ikke opplegg for å be
 154 bokhandlene bestille direkte via web, så jeg droppet oppføring der.
 155 Jeg har spurt Haugen bok og Tronsmo direkte på epost om de er
 156 interessert i å ta inn boken i sin bestillingskatalog, men ikke fått
 157 svar, så jeg antar de ikke er interessert.  Derimot har jeg fått en
 158 hyggelig henvendelse fra Biblioteksentralen som fortalte at de har
 159 lagt den inn i sin database slik at deres bibliotekskunder enkelt kan
 160 bestille den via dem.</p>
 161
 162 <p>Boken er i følge
 163 <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>
 164 og bokdatabasen til
 165 <a href="https://www.deich.folkebibl.no/cgi-bin/websok?tnr=1819617">Deichmanske</a>
 166 tilgjengelig fra flere biblioteker allerede, og alle eksemplarer er
 167 visst allerede utlånt med ventetid.  Det synes jeg er veldig gledelig
 168 å se.  Jeg håper mange kommer til å lese boken.  Jeg tror den er
 169 spesielt egnet for foreldre og bekjente av oss nerder for å forklare
 170 hva slags problemer vi ser med dagens opphavsrettsregime.</p>

 191         <p>People keep asking me where to get the various forms of the book I
 192 published last week, the Norwegian Bokmål edition of Lawrence Lessigs
 193 book <a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>.  It was
 194 published on paper via lulu.com, and is also available in PDF, ePub
 195 and MOBI format.  I currently sell the paper edition for self cost
 196 from lulu.com, but might extend the distribution to book stores like
 197 Amazon and Barnes & Noble later.  This will double the price and force
 198 me to make a profit from selling the book.  Anyway, here are links to
 199 get the book in different formats:</p>

 254         <p>Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
 255 bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
 256 Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding.  Stor takk til NUUG for
 257 lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.</p>

 260
 261 <p><strong>Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok</strong></p>
 262
 263 <p>I dag kommer boken «<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Fri
 264 kultur</a>» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk.  Boken handler om
 265 utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
 266 Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
 267 Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
 268 seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
 269 opphavsretten.</p>
 270
 271 <p>Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
 272 opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
 273 kreativiteten.  Den er skrevet av stifteren av
 274 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, professor
 275 Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
 276 <a href="https://lessig2016.us/">presidentkandidat i USA sitt
 277 presidentvalg i 2016</a>.  Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
 278 NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
 279 som også er
 280 <a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">tilgjengelig
 281 fra The Internet Archive</a>.</p>
 282
 283 <p>Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
 284 betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
 285 32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
 286 enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
 287 definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
 288 en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
 289 av mediebransjen.  Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
 290 lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
 291 praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
 292 Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
 293 stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.</p>
 294
 295 <p>Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler.  For eksempel
 296 en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
 297 opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
 298 1930-tallet.  Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
 299 mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.<?p>
 300
 301 <p>Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
 302 boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
 303 forskjell.  «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
 304 opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
 305 hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
 306 Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
 307 Partnership
 308 <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared">ønsker
 309 å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land</a>, håper jeg at flere
 310 vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
 311 Norge?», spør han.  «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
 312 forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
 313 beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
 314 Norge.»</p>
 315
 316 <p>Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
 317 vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
 318 Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
 319 Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
 320 omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
 321 var en oppvekker.  «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
 322 jeg gjorde.  Boken kan
 323 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">lastes
 324 gratis ned fra github</a> eller
 325 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">kjøpes
 326 på papir fra lulu.com</a>,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.</p>

 353 <p>I 2004, mens <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
 354 Commons-bevegelsen</a> vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
 355 Lessig boken
 356 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
 357 Culture</a> for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
 358 for å foreslå noen løsninger.  Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
 359 inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
 360 Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken.  Den gir en god
 361 gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
 362 nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
 363 vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.</p>
 364
 365 <p>Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
 366 bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
 367 som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk.  Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
 368 av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
 369 norsk og en på engelsk.  Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
 370 den norske utgaven på papir
 371 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">er
 372 nå klar for salg</a>.  Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
 373 korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige.  Se
 374 side 245 for en komplett liste.  Slik ser omslaget ut:

 377
 378 <p>I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
 379 fransk utgave.  Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
 380 og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
 381 kan gis ut.  Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
 382 hvis du vil bidra.</p>
 383
 384 <p>Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
 385 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">min
 386 github-prosjektside</a>.  Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
 387 formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
 388 dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
 389 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
 390 og
 391 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
 392 men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene.  For de som
 393 vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
 394 denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
 395 har tilgjengelig.</p>
 396
 397 <p>Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
 398 <a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a> til å
 399 sponse trykking av boken.  Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
 400 på baksiden av omslaget.  Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
 401 bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
 402 Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.</p>

 425
 426 <p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
 427 movement</a> gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
 428 book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
 429 Culture</a> to explain the problems with increasing copyright
 430 regulation and suggest some solutions.  I read the book back then and
 431 was very moved by it.  Reading the book inspired me and changed the
 432 way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
 433 would read it too.</p>
 434
 435 <p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
 436 Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
 437 that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
 438 docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
 439 new edition of the English original.  I've been in touch with the
 440 author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
 441 published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
 442 this edition
 443 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available
 444 for sale on Lulu.com</a>, for those interested in a paper book.  This
 445 is the cover:

 448
 449 <p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
 450 few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
 451 months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
 452 join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
 453 person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
 454 need some proof reading.</p>
 455
 456 <p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
 457 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
 458 github project page</a>.  Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
 459 formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
 460 dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
 461 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
 462 and
 463 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
 464 but I have not taken the time to investigate.  I recommend the PDF and
 465 ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
 466 have available.</p>
 467
 468 <p>After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
 469 to secure some sponsoring from
 470 <a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">the NUUG Foundation</a> to
 471 print the book.  This is the reason their logo is located on the back
 472 cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
 473 give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
 474 Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.</p>

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

 499 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> helper and
 500 developer of the dblatex docbook processor, Benoît Guillon, decided a
 501 to try to create a French version of the book.  He started with the
 502 French translation available from the
 503 <a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">Wikilivres wiki
 504 pages</a>, and wrote a program to convert it into a PO file, allowing
 505 the translation to be integrated into the po4a based framework I use
 506 to create the Norwegian translation from the English edition.  We meet
 507 on the <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23dblatex">#dblatex IRC
 508 channel</a> to discuss the work.  If you want to help create a French
 509 edition, check out
 510 <a href="https://github.com/marsgui/free-culture-lessig">his git
 511 repository</a> and join us on IRC.  If the French edition look good,
 512 we might publish it as a paper book on lulu.com.  A French version of
 513 the drawings and the cover need to be provided for this to happen.</p>

 534         <p>Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
 535 I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
 536 the
 537 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Free
 538 Culture</a> book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
 539 vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
 540 were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
 541
 542 <p>But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
 543 the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
 544 <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape">#inkscape IRC channel</a>
 545 on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
 546 to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
 547 version.  Not only did he create a
 548 <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg ">SVG document with
 549 the original and his vector version side by side</a>, he even provided
 550 an <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv">instruction
 551 video</a> explaining how he did it</a>.  But the instruction video is
 552 not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
 553 recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
 554 the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
 555 use some keyboard shortcuts that can't be seen on the video, but it
 556 give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
 557 stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.</p>
 558
 559 <p>I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
 560 on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
 561 current english version look like this:</p>
 562
 563 <img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png" width="70%" align="center"/>
 564
 565 <p>I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
 566 do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
 567 hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
 568 Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
 569 replaced with the Norwegian version.</p>
 570
 571 <p>The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
 572 to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
 573 final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
 574 before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
 575 English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I'm waiting to give the the productive
 576 proof readers a chance to complete their work.</p>

 597         <p>Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
 598 translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
 599 years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
 600 printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
 601 irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
 602 to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
 603 good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
 604 pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
 605 pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
 606 small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
 607 tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
 608 small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
 609 instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
 610 URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
 611 The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
 612 change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
 613 printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)</p>
 614
 615 <p>Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
 616 store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
 617 readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
 618 willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
 619 file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
 620 a graphics designer are mostly missing.</p>

 641         <p>Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
 642 mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
 643 on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
 644 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> based version of the
 645 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> book by Lawrence
 646 Lessig.  I've been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
 647 give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
 648 its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
 649 helpful in solving my formatting challenges.</p>
 650
 651 <p>Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
 652 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu.com</a> complain after uploading,
 653 and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
 654 proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
 655 should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.</p>
 656
 657 <p>Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
 658 <a href="http://www.createspace.com/">CreateSpace</a>, but ended up
 659 using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
 660 to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
 661 similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
 662 let me know if I am missing out on something here.</p>
 663
 664 <p>But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
 665 pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
 666 (5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
 667 15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
 668 smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
 669 pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
 670 but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
 671 bring the prize down further.</p>
 672
 673 <p>My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
 674 inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
 675 cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
 676 the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
 677 description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
 678 if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
 679 the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
 680 to the task.</p>
 681
 682 <p>I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
 683 paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
 684 status can as usual be found on
 685 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>
 686 in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
 687 PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
 688 dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
 689 expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
 690 formatting.</p>
 691
 692 <p>Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
 693 discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
 694 reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
 695 result in a few months.</p>

 716         <p>I'm still working on the Norwegian version of the
 717 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture book by Lawrence
 718 Lessig</a>, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
 719 One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
 720 original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
 721 chapter.  Based on the
 722 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/685063">feedback from the Debian
 723 maintainer and the dblatex developer</a>, I came up with this recipe I
 724 would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
 725 class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
 726 practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
 727 file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
 728 parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
 729 the generated LaTeX File.</p>
 730
 731 <p>First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
 732 and add this text there:</p>
 733
 734 <pre>
 735 &lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&gt;
 736 </pre>
 737
 738 <p>Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
 739 code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
 740 generated LaTeX document, with content like this:</p>
 741
 742 <pre>
 743 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
 744 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
 745   &lt;xsl:param name="latex.begindocument"&gt;
 746     &lt;xsl:text&gt;
 747 \usepackage{endnotes}
 748 \let\footnote=\endnote
 749 \def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
 750 \begin{document}
 751     &lt;/xsl:text&gt;

 823         <p>For noen dager siden
 824 <a href="http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket">annonserte
 825 Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten</a> om at de i sine arkiver hadde
 826 funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
 827 Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
 828 nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
 829 Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
 830 magasin.  Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv.  5,5
 831 minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.</p>
 832
 833 <p>Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
 834 publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek?  Forklaringen
 835 har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
 836 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>, som jeg holder på
 837 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">å
 838 oversette til norsk</a>:</p>
 839
 840 <p><blockquote>
 841 <p>Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
 842   amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
 843   biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
 844   og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
 845   utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.</p>
 846
 847 <p>Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
 848   kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
 849   opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
 850   filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
 851   så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
 852   filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
 853   i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
 854   eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
 855   til filmselskapet.</p>
 856 </blockquote></p>
 857
 858 <p>Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
 859 fri.  En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
 860 allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
 861 felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
 862 det i starten av sin karriere.  Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
 863 sa nei.  Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film?  Jeg besteme
 864 meg for å undersøke nærmere.  En kan finne informasjon om den norske
 865 vernetiden på
 866 <a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2">Lovdata</a>
 867 og </a>Wikipedia</A>.  Her er et relevant <a
 868 href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid">utsnitt fra
 869 siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia</a>:</p>
 870
 871 <p><blockquote>
 872   Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
 873   år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår.  [...]  For filmverk
 874   gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
 875   i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
 876   dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
 877   begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
 878   disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
 879   år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
 880   økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
 881   utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
 882   blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
 883   tilgjengeliggjøring.

 905
 906 <p>Alle fødsels- og dødsdatoene er fra engelske Wikipedia.  Det er
 907 ikke oppgitt navn på manusforfatter, dialogforfatter og komponist, men
 908 jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
 909 i Norge, og tar derfor med disse.  Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
 910 rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.</p>
 911
 912 <p>Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
 913 filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
 914 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
 915 relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Etter
 916 det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
 917 offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
 918 på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.</p>
 919
 920 <p>Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
 921 sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format?  Nei, heldigvis.
 922 Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-
 923 og forskningsinstitusjoner har rett til å fremstille eksemplar av verk
 924 for konserverings- og sikringsformål og andre særskilte formål.</p>

 991         <p>It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
 992 have worked on a Norwegian
 993 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
 994 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
 995 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
 996 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
 997 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
 998 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
 999 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
1000 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
1001 progress of the translation:</p>
1002
1003 <p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
1004
1005 <p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
1006 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
1007 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
1008 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
1009 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
1010 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
1011 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
1012 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
1013 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
1014 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
1015 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</p>
1016
1017 <p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
1018 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
1019 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1020 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
1021 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
1022 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
1023 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
1024 project files currently available from

1033 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I

1055         <p>A few days ago, during a discussion in
1056 <a href="http://www.efn.no/">EFN</a> about interesting books to read
1057 about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
1058 the 1968 short story Kodémus by
1059 <a href="http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/">Tore Åge Bringsværd</a>
1060 came up.  The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
1061 easily available for current and future generations.  Some of the
1062 people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
1063 reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
1064 short story using a <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative
1065 Commons</a> license.  The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
1066 were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.</p>
1067
1068 <p>As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
1069 provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
1070 Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
1071 <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook</a> processing framework to
1072 generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story.  The tools to
1073 transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
1074 distribution of choice, <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>, so
1075 all I had to do was to use the
1076 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a>,
1077 <a href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/README">dbtoepub</a>
1078 and <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/">xmlto</a> tools to do the
1079 conversion.  After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
1080 xsltproc/fop (aka
1081 <a href="http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets">docbook-xsl</a>),
1082 to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
1083 nicer &lt;variablelist&gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
1084 technical detail.</p>
1085
1086 <p>There were a few challenges, of course.  We want to typeset the
1087 short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
1088 control over the layout.  The original short story have three
1089 parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
1090 the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
1091 that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.</p>
1092
1093 <p>I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
1094 single star in it, ie &lt;para&gt;*&lt;/para&gt;, but it made sure a
1095 placeholder indicated where the scene shifted.  This did not look too
1096 good without the centring.  The next approach was to create a new
1097 preprocessor directive &lt;?newscene?&gt;, mapping to "&lt;hr/&gt;"
1098 for HTML and "&lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;&lt;fo:leader
1099 leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;&lt;/fo:block&gt;"
1100 for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
1101 switched at this time).  The HTML XSL file looked like this:</p>
1102
1103 <p><blockquote><pre>
1104 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1105 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1106   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
1107     &lt;hr/&gt;
1108   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1109 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1110 </pre></blockquote></p>
1111
1112 <p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
1113
1114 <p><blockquote><pre>
1115 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1116 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1117   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
1118     &lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;
1119       &lt;fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;

1122 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;

1124
1125 <p>Finally, I came across the &lt;bridgehead&gt; tag, which seem to be
1126 a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &lt;?newscene?&gt;
1127 with &lt;bridgehead&gt;*&lt;/bridgehead&gt;.  It isn't centred, but we
1128 can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn't
1129 enough.</p>
1130
1131 <p>I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
1132 linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
1133 directive &lt;?linebreak?&gt;, mapping to &lt;br/&gt; in HTML, and
1134 &lt;fo:block/&gt; in FO/PDF.  I suspect there are better ways to do
1135 this, and welcome ideas and patches on github.  The HTML XSL file now
1136 look like this:</p>
1137
1138 <p><blockquote><pre>
1139 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1140 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
1141   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
1142     &lt;br/&gt;
1143   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1144 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1145 </pre></blockquote></p>
1146
1147 <p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
1148
1149 <p><blockquote><pre>
1150 &lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
1151 &lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'
1152   xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"&gt;
1153   &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
1154     &lt;fo:block/&gt;
1155   &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
1156 &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
1157 </pre></blockquote></p>
1158
1159 <p>One unsolved challenge is our wish to expose different ISBN numbers
1160 per publication format, while keeping all of them in some conditional
1161 structure in the DocBook source.  No idea how to do this, so we ended
1162 up listing all the ISBN numbers next to their format in the colophon
1163 page.</p>
1164
1165 <p>If you want to check out the finished result, check out the

1167 github</a>

1170 days.</p>

1199
1200 <p>Det betyr en vernetid langt ut over det kommersielle livet til de

1216 gjør at mange verk glemmes og går tapt, noe som er skadelig for norsk
1217 språk og kultur. Vi til tilbake til start: 14 års

1221 enkelte tilfelle stoppe dem helt.</th></tr>
1222 </table>
1223 </blockquote>
1224
1225 <p>Den opprinnelige opphavsretten var på 14 år totalt, ikke 14 år
1226 etter opphavspersonens død.  Jeg tenkte først dette kanskje var
1227 feilsitering fra Aftenposten, men jeg finner samme påstand i en <a
1228 href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggpost
1229 fra Geir Aaslid</a> på Piratpartietes offisielle nettsider.  Der
1230 skriver han følgende:</p>
1231
1232 <blockquote>
1233 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så
1234 mange bransjer, med ulike behov. Enhver reform er en forbedring men
1235 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett på levetid + 14 år er
1236 fullt ut tilfredstillende for musikk, film, litteratur og spill.
1237 </blockquote>
1238
1239 <p>Det virker dermed på meg som om Piratpartiet allerede har gjort
1240 retrett fra sin beundringsverdige holdning om at det holdt med 14 års
1241 total vernetid, til sin nye som tar utgangspunkt i levetiden til
1242 opphavspersonen.  Jeg håper det baserer seg på en misforståelse hos
1243 piratlederen som blir korrigert tilbake til 14 års total vernetid før
1244 partiet stiller til valg.</p>
1245
1246 <p>Hvis du lurer på hvilke problemer lang vernetid bringer med seg,
1247 anbefaler jeg å lese boken <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
1248 Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig.  Jeg og en liten gruppe andre er igang
1249 med å
1250 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">oversette
1251 boken til bokmål</a> og tar gjerne imot hjelp med oversettelse og
1252 korrekturlesing.</p>
1253
1254 <p><strong>Oppdatering 2012-12-20</strong>: Oppdaget at
1255 <a href="http://piratpartietnorge.org/om-gramo-og-piratpolitikken/">bloggposten
1256 til Geir Aaslid</a> er endret siden i går, og nå inneholder følgende
1257 avsnitt i stedet for det jeg siterte over:</p>
1258
1259 <blockquote>
1260 Hva vi gjør med opphavsretten er mer komplisert fordi den omfavner så

1262 det er nærliggende å anta at en opphavsrett lik levetiden, evt + 14 år
1263 er fullt ut tilfredstillende for mange skapere av musikk, film,
1264 litteratur og spill. Det er for det meste de store forlagene som er
1265 imot enhver reform.
1266 </blockquote>
1267
1268 <p>I tillegg har det dukket opp en setning nederst "Dette dokumentet
1269 er et utkast til svar på et angrep på Piratpartiet fra Gramo. Det
1270 endrer seg derfor over tid og den endelige versjonen er det som blir
1271 publisert på Hardware.no", som tyder på at originalformuleringen ikke
1272 var veloverveid og sitatet i Aftenposten kanskje var basert på en
1273 misforståelse.</p>

1294         <p>While working on a
1295 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Norwegian
1296 translation of the Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig</a> (76% done),
1297 which cover the problems with todays copyright law and how it stifles
1298 creativity, one idea occurred to me.  The idea is to get the tax
1299 office to help make more works enter the public domain and also help
1300 make it easier to clear rights for using copyrighted works.</p>
1301
1302 <p>I mentioned this idea briefly during Yesterdays
1303 <a href="http://www.farmann.no/2012/11/14/john-perry-barlow-in-oslo-friday-nov-16
1304 -15-30-19-00/">presentation
1305 by John Perry Barlow</a>, and concluded that it was best to put it
1306 in writing for a wider audience.  The idea is not really based on the
1307 argument that copyrighted works are "intellectual property", as the
1308 core requirement is that copyrighted work have value for the copyright
1309 holder and the tax office like to collect their share from any value
1310 controlled by the citizens in a country.  I'm sharing the idea here to
1311 let others consider it and perhaps shoot it down with a fresh set of
1312 arguments.</p>
1313
1314 <p>Most valuables are taxed by the government.  At least here in
1315 Norway, the amount of money you have, the value of our land property,
1316 the value of your house, the value of your car, the value of our
1317 stocks and other valuables are all added together.  If the tax value
1318 of these values exceed your debt, you have to pay the tax office some
1319 taxes for these values.  And copyrighted work have value.  It have
1320 value for the rights holder, who can earn money selling access to the
1321 work.  But it is not included in the tax calculations?  Why not?</p>
1322
1323 <p>If the government want to tax copyrighted works, it would want to
1324 maintain a database of all the copyrighted works and who are the
1325 rights holders for a given works, to be able to associate the works
1326 value to the right citizen or company for tax purposes.  If such
1327 database exist, it will become a lot easier to find out who to talk to
1328 for clearing permissions to use a copyrighted work, which is a very
1329 hard operation with todays copyright law.  To ensure that copyright
1330 holders keep the database up-to-date, it would have to become a
1331 requirement to be able to collect money for granting access to
1332 copyrighted works that the work is listed in the database with the
1333 correct right holder.</p>
1334
1335 <p>If copyright causes copyright holders to have to pay more taxes,
1336 they will have a small incentive to "disown" their copyright, and let
1337 the work enter the public domain. For works with several right holders
1338 one of the right holders could state (and get it registered in the
1339 database) that she do not need to be consulted when clearing rights to
1340 use the work in question and thus will not get any income from that
1341 work.  Stating this would have to be impossible to revert and stop the
1342 tax office from adding the value of that work to the given citizens
1343 tax calculation.  I assume the copyright law would stay the same,
1344 allowing creators to pick a license of their choosing, and also
1345 allowing them to put their work directly in the public domain.  The
1346 existence of such database will make it even easier to clear rights,
1347 and if the right holders listed in the database is taxed, this system
1348 would increase the amount of works that enter the public domain.</p>
1349
1350 <p>The effect would be that the tax office help to make it easier to
1351 get rights to use the works that have not yet entered the public
1352 domain and help to get more work into the public domain and .</p>
1353
1354 <p>Why have such taxing not happened yet?  I am sure the tax office
1355 would like to tax copyrighted work values if they could.</p>

1388 strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
1389 my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to

1429 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
1430 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright law
1431 I can give to my parents and others that are reluctant to read an

1442 <p>Two days ago, we finally broke the 50% mark.  Then more than 50% of
1443 the number of strings to translate (normally paragraphs, but also
1444 titles and index entries are also counted).  All parts from the
1445 beginning up to and including chapter four is translated.  So is
1446 chapters six, seven and the conclusion.  I created a graph to show the
1447 progress:</p>

1451 <p>The number of strings to translate increase as I insert the index
1452 entries into the docbook.  They were missing with the docbook version
1453 I initially started with.  There are still quite a few index entries
1454 missing, but everyone starting with A, B, O, Z and Y are done.  I
1455 currently focus on completing the index entries, to get a complete
1456 english version of the docbook source.</p>

1458 <p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
1459 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
1460 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
1461 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be

1504 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Free_Culture_in_Norwegian___5_chapters_done__74_percent_left_to_do.html">I
1505 am working with at the moment</a>, Norwegian Bokmål.</p>
1506
1507 <p>For a while, I was confused about which language code to use,
1508 because I was unable to find any language code that would work across
1509 all tools.  I am currently testing dblatex, xmlto, docbook-xsl, and
1510 dbtoepub, and they do not handle Norwegian Bokmål the same way.  Some
1511 of them do not handle it at all.</p>
1512
1513 <p>A bit of background information is probably needed to understand
1514 this mess.  Norwegian is not one, but two written variants.  The
1515 variants are Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.  There are three
1516 two letter language codes associated with these languages, Norwegian
1517 is 'no', Norwegian Nynorsk is 'nn' and Norwegian Bokmål is 'nb'.
1518 Historically the 'no' language code was used for Norwegian Bokmål, but
1519 many years ago this was found to be å bad idea, and the recommendation
1520 is to use the most specific language code instead, to avoid confusion.
1521 In the transition period it is a good idea to make sure 'no' was an
1522 alias for 'nb'.</p>
1523
1524 <p>Back to docbook processing tools in Debian.  The dblatex tool only
1525 understand 'nn'.  There are translations for 'no', but not 'nb' (BTS
1526 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/684391">#684391</a>), but due to a bug
1527 (BTS <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">#682936</a>) the 'no'
1528 language code is not recognised.  The docbook-xsl tool chain only
1529 recognise 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The xmlto tool only recognise
1530 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The end result that there is no language
1531 code I can use to get the docbook file working with all of these tools
1532 at the same time. :(</p>
1533
1534 <p>The correct solution is to use &lt;book lang="nb"&gt;, but it will
1535 take time before that will work with all the free software docbook
1536 processors. :(</p>
1537
1538 <p>Oh, the joy of well integrated tools. :/</p>

1559         <p>I tried to send this text to the
1560 <a href="https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/">docbook-apps
1561 mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org</a>, but it only accept messages
1562 from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
1563 bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
1564 try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
1565 out.</p>
1566
1567 <p>I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
1568 learning curve at the moment.</p>
1569
1570 <p>To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
1571 translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
1572 docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
1573 available from
1574 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.
1575 The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
1576 index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
1577 software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
1578 Squeeze.</p>
1579
1580 <p>I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
1581 tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
1582 formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
1583 problems.</p>
1584
1585 <ul>
1586
1587 <li>Using dblatex, the &lt;part&gt; handling is not the way I want to,
1588    as &lt;/part&gt; do not really end the &lt;part&gt;. (See
1589    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683166">BTS report #683166</a>), the
1590    xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
1591    index references spanning several pages (See
1592    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682901">BTS report #682901</a>), and
1593    I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
1594    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">BTS report #682936</a>).</li>
1595
1596 <li>Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
1597    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683163">BTS report
1598    #683163</a>).</li>
1599
1600 <li>Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
1601    show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
1602    footnote and text body, see
1603    <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683197">BTS report #683197</a>), and
1604    fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
1605    refs listed are not right).</li>
1606
1607 <li>Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.</li>
1608
1609 <li>Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
1610    index problems the xmlto + fop processing.</li>
1611
1612 </ul>
1613
1614 <p>So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
1615 of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
1616 experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?</p>
1617
1618 <p>What about HTML and EPUB versions?</p>

1641 norwegian version</a> of the book
1642 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig.
1643 Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
1644 Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six.  The source files as well as a
1645 PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
1646 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
1647
1648 <p>I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
1649 (preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
1650 completely translated.  This completes 26 percent of the number of
1651 strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
1652 percent left to translate.  A graph of the progress is present at the
1653 bottom of the github project page.  There is still room for more
1654 contributors.  Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
1655 you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
1656 print. :)</p>
1657
1658 <p>The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
1659 translations, if you want the book to be available in your
1660 language.</p>

1721         <p>Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
1722 «<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en">Free Software,
1723 "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer"</a>».  Men det er
1724 ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
1725 gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
1726 programvare, "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som "gratis øl"», og det
1727 går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er

1730 av Lawrence Lessig, måtte jeg forsøke a finne en bedre
1731 oversettelse.</p>
1732
1733 <p>Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
1734 fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket "fri bar".  Dermed blir
1735 oversettelsen «Fri programvare - "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som i

1764         <p>Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
1765 det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
1766 Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
1767 og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
1768 representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
1769 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig
1770 som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
1771 prioritere utvikling i
1772 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>-prosjektet i
1773 stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
1774 ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
1775 bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
1776 sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
1777 fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
1778 i debatten.</p>
1779
1780 <p>Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
1781 trykking med en av de mange
1782 <a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel">trykk på
1783 forespørsel</a>-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
1784 til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
1785 oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
1786 publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
1787 <a href="http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/">Eirik
1788 Newth</a> og
1789 <a href="http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html">Espen
1790 Andersen</a> om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
1791 forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
1792 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu</a> er en grei leverandør av
1793 trykketjenester til prosjektet.</p>
1794
1795 <p>Jeg har satt opp
1796 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">et
1797 Github-prosjekt</a> for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
1798 fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
1799 oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
1800 kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
1801 oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
1802 oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
1803 byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
1804 teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
1805 igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
1806 til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
1807 boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
1808 oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
1809 høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
1810 konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
1811 gjennomføre oversettelsen.</p>
1812
1813 <p>Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
1814 stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
1815 bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
1816 følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
1817 det blir i størrelsen 5,5" x 8.5" (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
1818 så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
1819 sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
1820 ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
1821 sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
1822 porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.</p>
1823
1824 <p>Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
1825 og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
1826 slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.</p>
