+ <description><p>A few weeks ago the French paperback edition of Lawrence Lessigs
+2004 book Cultura Libre was published. Today I noticed that the book
+is now available from book stores. You can now buy it from
+<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Libre-French-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018260">Amazon</a>
+($19.99),
+<a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/culture-libre-lawrence-lessig/1123776705">Barnes
+& Noble</a> ($?) and as always from
+<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">Lulu.com</a>
+($19.99). The revenue is donated to the Creative Commons project. If
+you buy from Lulu.com, they currently get $10.59, while if you buy
+from one of the book stores most of the revenue go to the book store
+and the Creative Commons project get much (not sure how much
+less).</p>
+
+<p>I was a bit surprised to discover that there is a kindle edition
+sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC on Amazon. Not quite sure how
+that edition was created, but if you want to download a electronic
+edition (PDF, EPUB, Mobi) generated from the same files used to create

- <title>Is Pentagon deciding the Norwegian negotiating position on Internet governance?</title>

- <description><p>In Norway, all government offices are required by law to keep a
-list of every document or letter arriving and leaving their offices.
-Internal notes should also be documented. The document list (called a mail
-journal - "postjournal" in Norwegian) is public information and thanks
-to the Norwegian Freedom of Information Act (Offentleglova) the mail
-journal is available for everyone. Most offices even publish the mail
-journal on their web pages, as PDFs or tables in web pages. The state-level offices even have a shared web based search service (called
-<a href="https://www.oep.no/">Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal -
-OEP</a>) to make it possible to search the entries in the list. Not
-all journal entries show up on OEP, and the search service is hard to
-use, but OEP does make it easier to find at least some interesting
-journal entries .</p>
-
-<p>In 2012 I came across a document in the mail journal for the
-Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications on OEP that
-piqued my interest. The title of the document was
-"<a href="https://www.oep.no/search/resultSingle.html?journalPostId=4192362">Internet
-Governance and how it affects national security</a>" (Norwegian:
-"Internet Governance og påvirkning på nasjonal sikkerhet"). The
-document date was 2012-05-22, and it was said to be sent from the
-"Permanent Mission of Norway to the United Nations". I asked for a
-copy, but my request was rejected with a reference to a legal clause said to authorize them to reject it
-(<a href="http://lovdata.no/lov/2006-05-19-16/§20">offentleglova § 20,
-letter c</a>) and an explanation that the document was exempt because
-of foreign policy interests as it contained information related to the
-Norwegian negotiating position, negotiating strategies or similar. I
-was told the information in the document related to the ongoing
-negotiation in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The
-explanation made sense to me in early January 2013, as a ITU
-conference in Dubay discussing Internet Governance
-(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union#World_Conference_on_International_Telecommunications_2012_.28WCIT-12.29">World
-Conference on International Telecommunications - WCIT-12</a>) had just
-ended,
-<a href="http://www.digi.no/kommentarer/2012/12/18/tvil-om-usas-rolle-pa-teletoppmote">reportedly
-in chaos</a> when USA walked out of the negotiations and 25 countries
-including Norway refused to sign the new treaty. It seemed
-reasonable to believe talks were still going on a few weeks later.
-Norway was represented at the ITU meeting by two authorities, the
-<a href="http://www.nkom.no/">Norwegian Communications Authority</a>
-and the <a href="https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dep/sd/">Ministry of
-Transport and Communications</a>. This might be the reason the letter
-was sent to the ministry. As I was unable to find the document in the
-mail journal of any Norwegian UN mission, I asked the ministry who had
-sent the document to the ministry, and was told that it was the Deputy
-Permanent Representative with the Permanent Mission of Norway in
-Geneva.</p>
-
-<p>Three years later, I was still curious about the content of that
-document, and again asked for a copy, believing the negotiation was
-over now. This time
-<a href="https://mimesbronn.no/request/kopi_av_dokumenter_i_sak_2012914">I
-asked both the Ministry of Transport and Communications as the
-receiver</a> and
-<a href="https://mimesbronn.no/request/brev_om_internet_governance_og_p">asked
-the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva as the sender</a> for a
-copy, to see if they both agreed that it should be withheld from the
-public. The ministry upheld its rejection quoting the same law
-reference as before, while the permanent mission rejected it quoting a
-different clause
-(<a href="http://lovdata.no/lov/2006-05-19-16/§20">offentleglova § 20
-letter b</a>), claiming that they were required to keep the
-content of the document from the public because it contained
-information given to Norway with the expressed or implied expectation
-that the information should not be made public. I asked the permanent
-mission for an explanation, and was told that the document contained
-an account from a meeting held in the Pentagon for a limited group of NATO
-nations where the organiser of the meeting did not intend the content
-of the meeting to be publicly known. They explained that giving me a
-copy might cause Norway to not get access to similar information in
-the future and thus hurt the future foreign interests of Norway. They
-also explained that the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva was not
-the author of the document, they only got a copy of it, and because of
-this had not listed it in their mail journal.</p>
-
-<p>Armed with this
-knowledge I asked the Ministry to reconsider and asked who was the
-author of the document, now realising that it was not same as the
-"sender" according to Ministry of Transport and Communications. The
-ministry upheld its rejection but told me the name of the author of
-the document. According to
-<a href="https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/unga69_rapport1/id2001204/">a
-government report</a> the author was with the Permanent Mission of
-Norway in New York a bit more than a year later (2014-09-22), so I
-guessed that might be the office responsible for writing and sending
-the report initially and
-<a href="https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/mote_2012_i_pentagon_om_itu">asked
-them for a copy</a> but I was obviously wrong as I was told that the
-document was unknown to them and that the author did not work there
-when the document was written. Next, I asked the Permanent Mission of
-Norway in Geneva and the Foreign Ministry to reconsider and at least
-tell me who sent the document to Deputy Permanent Representative with
-the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva. The Foreign Ministry also
-upheld its rejection, but told me that the person sending the document
-to Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva was the defence attaché with
-the Norwegian Embassy in Washington. I do not know if this is the
-same person as the author of the document.</p>
-
-<p>If I understand the situation correctly, someone capable of
-inviting selected NATO nations to a meeting in Pentagon organised a
-meeting where someone representing the Norwegian defence attaché in
-Washington attended, and the account from this meeting is interpreted
-by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to expose Norways
-negotiating position, negotiating strategies and similar regarding the
-ITU negotiations on Internet Governance. It is truly amazing what can
-be derived from mere meta-data.</p>
-
-<p>I wonder which NATO countries besides Norway attended this meeting?
-And what exactly was said and done at the meeting? Anyone know?</p>

+ <description><p>I just donated to the
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">NUUG defence
+"fond"</a> to fund the effort in Norway to get the seizure of the news
+site popcorn-time.no tested in court. I hope everyone that agree with
+me will do the same.</p>
+
+<p>Would you be worried if you knew the police in your country could
+hijack DNS domains of news sites covering free software system without
+talking to a judge first? I am. What if the free software system
+combined search engine lookups, bittorrent downloads and video playout
+and was called Popcorn Time? Would that affect your view? It still
+make me worried.</p>
+
+<p>In March 2016, the Norwegian police seized (as in forced NORID to
+change the IP address pointed to by it to one controlled by the
+police) the DNS domain popcorn-time.no, without any supervision from
+the courts. I did not know about the web site back then, and assumed
+the courts had been involved, and was very surprised when I discovered
+that the police had hijacked the DNS domain without asking a judge for
+permission first. I was even more surprised when I had a look at
+<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://popcorn-time.no">the web
+site content on the Internet Archive</A>, and only found news coverage
+about Popcorn Time, not any material published without the right
+holders permissions.</p>
+
+<p>The seizure was widely covered in the Norwegian press (see for
+example <a href="http://www.hegnar.no/Nyheter/Naeringsliv/2016/03/Popcorn-time.no-beslaglagt-av-OEkokrim">Hegnar Online</a> and
+<a href="http://itavisen.no/2016/03/08/okokrim-har-beslaglagt-popcorn-time-no/">ITavisen<a/>
+and
+<a href="http://www.nrk.no/kultur/okokrim-gar-til-aksjon-mot-popcorn-time-1.12842452">NRK</a>),
+at first due to the press release sent out by Økokrim, but then based
+on
+<a href="http://blogg.torvund.net/2016/03/09/okokrims-beslag-i-domenet-popcorn-time-no/">protests
+from the law professor Olav Torvund</a> and
+<a href="http://www.klassekampen.no/article/20160311/ARTICLE/160319995">lawyer
+Jon Wessel-Aas</a>. It even got some
+<a href="https://torrentfreak.com/norwegian-authorities-sued-over-popcorn-time-domain-seizure-160418/">coverage
+on TorrentFreak</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/NUUG_contests_Norwegian_police_DNS_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no.html">
+wrote about the case a month ago</a>, when the
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> (NUUG),
+where I am an active member, decided to ask the courts to test this seizure.
+The request was denied, but NUUG and its co-requestor EFN have not
+given up, and now they are rallying for support to get the seizure
+legally challenged. They accept both bank and Bitcoin transfer for
+those that want to support the request.</p>
+
+<p>If you as me believe news sites about free software should not be
+censored, even if the free software have both legal and illegal
+applications, and that DNS hijacking should be tested by the courts, I
+suggest you <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">show
+your support by donating to NUUG</a>.</a>

- <description><p>Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
-bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
-Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding. Stor takk til NUUG for
-lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-
-<p><strong>Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok</strong></p>
-
-<p>I dag kommer boken «<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Fri
-kultur</a>» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk. Boken handler om
-utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
-Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
-Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
-seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
-opphavsretten.</p>
-
-<p>Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
-opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
-kreativiteten. Den er skrevet av stifteren av
-<a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, professor
-Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
-<a href="https://lessig2016.us/">presidentkandidat i USA sitt
-presidentvalg i 2016</a>. Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
-NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
-som også er
-<a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">tilgjengelig
-fra The Internet Archive</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
-betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
-32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
-enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
-definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
-en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
-av mediebransjen. Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
-lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
-praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
-Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
-stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.</p>
-
-<p>Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler. For eksempel
-en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
-opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
-1930-tallet. Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
-mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.<?p>
-
-<p>Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
-boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
-forskjell. «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
-opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
-hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
-Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
-Partnership
-<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared">ønsker
-å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land</a>, håper jeg at flere
-vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
-Norge?», spør han. «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
-forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
-beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
-Norge.»</p>
-
-<p>Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
-vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
-Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
-Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
-omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
-var en oppvekker. «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
-jeg gjorde. Boken kan
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">lastes
-gratis ned fra github</a> eller
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">kjøpes
-på papir fra lulu.com</a>,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.</p>

+ <title>What is the best multimedia player in Debian?</title>

+ <description><p><strong>Where I set out to figure out which multimedia player in
+Debian claim support for most file formats.</strong></p>
+
+<p>A few years ago, I had a look at the media support for Browser
+plugins in Debian, to get an idea which plugins to include in Debian
+Edu. I created a script to extract the set of supported MIME types
+for each plugin, and used this to find out which multimedia browser
+plugin supported most file formats / media types.
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia">The
+result</a> can still be seen on the Debian wiki, even though it have
+not been updated for a while. But browser plugins are less relevant
+these days, so I thought it was time to look at standalone
+players.</p>
+
+<p>A few days ago I was tired of VLC not being listed as a viable
+player when I wanted to play videos from the Norwegian National
+Broadcasting Company, and decided to investigate why. The cause is a
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/822245">missing MIME type in the VLC
+desktop file</a>. In the process I wrote a script to compare the set
+of MIME types announced in the desktop file and the browser plugin,
+only to discover that there is quite a large difference between the
+two for VLC. This discovery made me dig up the script I used to
+compare browser plugins, and adjust it to compare desktop files
+instead, to try to figure out which multimedia player in Debian
+support most file formats.</p>
+
+<p>The result can be seen on the Debian Wiki, as
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport">a
+table listing all MIME types supported by one of the packages included
+in the table</a>, with the package supporting most MIME types being

-
-<p>I 2004, mens <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
-Commons-bevegelsen</a> vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
-Lessig boken
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
-Culture</a> for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
-for å foreslå noen løsninger. Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
-inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
-Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken. Den gir en god
-gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
-nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
-vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.</p>
-
-<p>Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
-bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
-som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk. Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
-av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
-norsk og en på engelsk. Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
-den norske utgaven på papir
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">er
-nå klar for salg</a>. Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
-korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige. Se
-side 245 for en komplett liste. Slik ser omslaget ut:
-
-<p align="center"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html"><img align="center" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-28-free-culture-norwegian-published-cover.png"/></a></p>
-
-<p>I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
-fransk utgave. Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
-og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
-kan gis ut. Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
-hvis du vil bidra.</p>
-
-<p>Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">min
-github-prosjektside</a>. Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
-formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
-dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
-og
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
-men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene. For de som
-vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
-denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
-har tilgjengelig.</p>
-
-<p>Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
-<a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a> til å
-sponse trykking av boken. Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
-på baksiden av omslaget. Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
-bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
-Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.</p>

+ <description>A friend of mine made me aware of

+would love to get one of those for my birthday. :)</p>
+
+<p>The machine is a complete ARM-based PC with micro HDMI, SATA, USB
+plugs and many others connectors, and include a full keyboard and a 5"
+LCD touch screen. The 6000mAh battery is claimed to provide a whole
+day of battery life time, but I have not seen any independent tests
+confirming this. The vendor is still collecting preorders, and the

+
+<p>As far as I know, this is the first handheld preinstalled with
+Debian. Please let me know if you know of any others. Is it the
+first computer being sold with Debian preinstalled?</p>

-here to buy the book</a>.</p>
-
-<p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
-movement</a> gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
-book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
-Culture</a> to explain the problems with increasing copyright
-regulation and suggest some solutions. I read the book back then and
-was very moved by it. Reading the book inspired me and changed the
-way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
-would read it too.</p>
-
-<p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
-Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
-that prefer to read books in Norwegian. I translated the book using
-docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
-new edition of the English original. I've been in touch with the
-author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
-published an English version. So I decided to do so. Today, I made
-this edition
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available
-for sale on Lulu.com</a>, for those interested in a paper book. This
-is the cover:
-
-<p align="center"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html"><img align="center" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-23-free-culture-english-published-cover.png"/></a></p>
-
-<p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
-few days. I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
-months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
-join the translation project. So far there is only one active
-person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
-need some proof reading.</p>
-
-<p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
-github project page</a>. Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
-formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
-dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
-and
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
-but I have not taken the time to investigate. I recommend the PDF and
-ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
-have available.</p>
-
-<p>After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
-to secure some sponsoring from
-<a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">the NUUG Foundation</a> to
-print the book. This is the reason their logo is located on the back
-cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
-give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
-Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.</p>

+controversial topic is not infringing copyrights, and censuring web
+pages by hijacking DNS domain should be decided by the courts, not the
+police. The DNS domain was seized by the Norwegian National Authority
+for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime
+a month ago. I hope this bring more paying members to NUUG to give

+ <description><p>I dag tok jeg mot til meg og pakket sammen en ny versjon av den

+som kildekodepakke og som "pack"-fil som kanskje fortsatt kan brukes
+av OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice. Byggesystemet trenger oppussing, men i
+denne omgang hadde jeg bare tid til å fikse byggefeil forårsaket av
+endringer i GNU grep. De øvrige endringene var gjort tidligere i
+påvente av en ny utgave.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Her er det som er nytt (fra NEWS-fila i

-<p>I dag konkluderte EU-domstolen at
-<a href="http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&docid=170305&pageIndex=0&doclang=en&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=604079">Bitcoin-kjøp

-først hos Reuters</a>, etter tips fra innehaveren av
-<a href="http://www.bitmynt.no/">Bitmynt</a>. EU-domstolens avgjørelse
-er stikk i strid med
-<a href="http://www.skatteetaten.no/no/Radgiver/Rettskilder/Uttalelser/Prinsipputtalelser/Bruk-av-bitcoins--skatte--og-avgiftsmessige-konsekvenser/">annonseringen
-fra Skatteetaten i 2013</a>, der de konkluderte med at bitcoin er et
-«formuesobjekter» som det skulle betales mva på ved kjøp og salg.
-Dermed la Skatteetaten opp til dobbel MVA-betaling hvis en kjøpte noe
-med Bitcoin fra Norge (først mva på kjøp av Bitcoin, deretter mva på
-det en kjøper med Bitcoin). Jeg lurer på om denne avgjørelsen får
-Skatteetaten til å bytte mening. Gleder meg til fortsettelsen.</p>

- <description><p>Last year, <a href="https://lessig2016.us/">US president candidate
-in the Democratic Party</a> Lawrence interviewed Edward Snowden. The
-one hour interview was
-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_Sr96TFQQE">published by
-Harvard Law School 2014-10-23 on Youtube</a>, and the meeting took
-place 2014-10-20.</p>
-
-<p>The questions are very good, and there is lots of useful
-information to be learned and very interesting issues to think about
-being raised. Please check it out.</p>
-
-<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_Sr96TFQQE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
-
-<p>I find it especially interesting to hear again that Snowden did try
-to bring up his reservations through the official channels without any
-luck. It is in sharp contrast to the answers made 2013-11-06 by the
-Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg to the Norwegian Parliament,
-<a href="https://tale.holderdeord.no/speeches/s131106/68">claiming
-Snowden is no Whistle-Blower</a> because he should have taken up his
-concerns internally and using official channels. It make me sad
-that this is the political leadership we have here in Norway.</p>

+ <pubDate>Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+ <description><p>I first got to know I.F. Stone when I came across an article by Jon
+Schwarz on The Intercept
+<a href="https://theintercept.com/2015/05/07/new-documentary-legacy-f-stone/">about
+his extraordinary contribution to investigative journalism in
+USA</a>. The article is about a new documentary in two parts
+(<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974841">part one is 12 minutes</a> and
+<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974842">part two is 30 minutes</a>), and
+I found both truly fascinating. It is amazing what he was able to
+find by digging up public sources and government papers. He
+documented lots of government abuse and cover ups, and I find
+<a href="http://www.ifstone.org/weekly.php">his weekly news letters</a>
+inspiring to read even today.</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
+<br>- I. F. Stone
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>His starting point was that reporters should not assume governments
+and corporations are telling the truth, but verify all their claims as
+much as possible. I wonder how many Norwegian reporters can be said
+to follow the principles of I. F. Stone. They are definitely in short
+supply. If you, like me half a year ago, have never heard of him,
+check him out.</p>

- <description><p>The movie "<a href="http://www.takepart.com/internets-own-boy">The
-Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz</a>" is both inspiring
-and depressing at the same time. The work of Aaron Swartz has
-inspired me in my work, and I am grateful of all the improvements he
-was able to initiate or complete. I wish I am able to do as much good
-in my life as he did in his. Every minute of this 1:45 long movie is
-inspiring in documenting how much impact a single person can have on
-improving the society and this world. And it is depressing in
-documenting how the law enforcement of USA (and other countries) is
-corrupted to a point where they can push a bright kid to his death for
-downloading too many scientific articles. Aaron is dead. Let us all
-weep.</p>
-
-<p>The movie is also available on

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

-<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/politikk/Stortinget-har-tilgang-til-a-fjernstyre-600-mobiler-8192692.html">en
-artikkel i Aftenposten</a> der det fortelles at «over 600 telefoner som
-benyttes av stortingsrepresentanter, rådgivere og ansatte på
-Stortinget, kan «fjernstyres» ved hjelp av
-<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airwatch.androidagent">programvaren
-Airwatch</a>, et såkalte MDM-program (Mobile Device Managment)». Det
-hele bagatelliseres av Stortingets IT-stab, men det er i hovedsak på
-grunn av at journalisten ikke stiller de relevante spørsmålene. For
-meg er det relevante spørsmålet hvem som har lovlig tilgang (i henhold
-til lokal lovgiving, dvs. i hvert fall i Norge, Sverige, UK og USA)
-til informasjon om og på telefonene, og hvor enkelt det er å skaffe
-seg tilgang til hvor mobilene befinner seg og informasjon som befinner
-seg på telefonene ved hjelp av utro tjenere, trusler, innbrudd og
-andre ulovlige metoder.</p>
-
-<p>Bruken av AirWatch betyr i realiteten at USAs etteretning og
-politimyndigheter har full tilgang til stortingets mobiltelefoner,
-inkludert posisjon og innhold, takket være
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act_of_1978_Amendments_Act_of_2008">FISAAA-loven</a>
-og
-"<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_security_letter">National
-Security Letters</a>" og det enkle faktum at selskapet
-<a href="http://www.airwatch.com/">AirWatch</a> er kontrollert av et
-selskap i USA. I tillegg er det kjent at flere lands
-etterretningstjenester kan lytte på trafikken når den passerer
-landegrensene.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg har bedt om mer informasjon
-<a href="https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/saksnummer_for_saker_anganede_br">fra
-Stortinget om bruken av AirWatch</a> via Mimes brønn så får vi se hva
-de har å fortelle om saken. Fant ingenting om 'airwatch' i
-postjournalen til Stortinget, så jeg trenger hjelp før jeg kan be om
-innsyn i konkrete dokumenter.</p>
-
-<p>Oppdatering 2015-10-07: Jeg er blitt spurt hvorfor jeg antar at
-AirWatch-agenten rapporterer til USA og ikke direkte til Stortingets
-egen infrastruktur. Det stemmer at det er teknisk mulig å sette
-opp mobiltelefonene til å rapportere til datamaskiner som eies av
-Stortinget. Jeg antar det rapporteres til AirWatch sine sentrale
-tjenester basert på det jeg leste fra beskrivelsen av
-<a href="http://www.airwatch.com/solutions/mobile-device-management/">Mobile
-Device Management</A> på AirWatch sine egne nettsider, koblet med at
-det brukes en standard app som kan hentes fra "app-butikkene" for å få
-tilgang. Enten må app-en settes opp individuelt hos Stortinget, eller
-så får den beskjed fra AirWatch i USA om hvor den skal koble seg opp.
-I det første tilfellet vil den ikke rapportere direkte til USA, men
-til programvare utviklet av AirWatch som kjører på en maskin under
-Stortingets kontroll. Det er litt bedre, men fortsatt vil det være
-umulig for Stortinget å være sikker på hva programvaren som tar imot
-forbindelser gjør. Jeg ser fra beskrivelsen av
-<a href="http://www.airwatch.com/differentiators/enterprise-integration/">Enterprice
-Integration</a> hos AirWatch at det er mulig å ha lokal installasjon,
-og håper innsynsforespørsler mot Stortinget kan fortelle mer om
-hvordan ting konkret fungerer der.</p>

+ <description><p>During this weekends
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Oslo__Takk_for_feilfiksingsfesten.shtml">bug
+squashing party and developer gathering</a>, we decided to do our part
+to make sure there are good books about Debian available in Norwegian
+Bokmål, and got in touch with the people behind the
+<a href="http://debian-handbook.info/">Debian Administrator's Handbook
+project</a> to get started. If you want to help out, please start
+contributing using
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/">the
+hosted weblate project page</a>, and get in touch using
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-handbook-translators">the
+translators mailing list</a>. Please also check out
+<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/contribute/">the instructions for
+contributors</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The book is already available on paper in English, French and
+Japanese, and our goal is to get it available on paper in Norwegian
+Bokmål too. In addition to the paper edition, there are also EPUB and
+Mobi versions available. And there are incomplete translations
+available for many more languages.</p>
