+
+<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 moved very 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>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>

+ <p>Bitcoin er i litt vinden i Norge for tiden, med
+<a href="http://www.nrk.no/ytring/en-digital-robin-hood-1.12604681">kronikk
+om bitcoin-overføringer på tvers av landegrensene</A> hos NRK Ytring
+for to dager siden og
+<a href="https://tv.nrk.no/program/KOID25009815/kapital-bitcoin-en-digital-pengebinge">dokumentar
+om bitcoin</a> på NRK 2 i forgårs og i går. I den sammenhengen er det
+spesielt hyggelig med en gladnyhet fra EU om Bitcoin.</p>
+
+<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
+fra Bitcoin-børser ikke er MVA-pliktig</a> (sak C‑264/14). Fant
+<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/22/us-bitcoin-tax-eu-idUSKCN0SG0X920151022">nyheten
+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>

<p>I find it especially interesting to hear again that Snowden did try
