  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg hadde i dag gleden av å oppdage at en artikkel om
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;arkivsystemet
  16 Nikita&lt;/a&gt; som vi skrev i sommer, nå er publisert
  17 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arkheion.no/&quot;&gt;Arkheion, fagtidsskrift for kommunial
  18 arkivsektor&lt;/a&gt;.  Du finner artikkelen på side 30-33 i nummer 2019/2,
  19 PDF kan lastes ned fra nettstedet til tidsskriftet.  Kanskje
  20 publiseringen kan føre til at noen flere får øynene opp for verdien av
  21 et åpent standardisert API for arkivering og søk i arkivet.&lt;/p&gt;
  22
  23 &lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
  24 det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
  25 til min adresse
  26 &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
  27 Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)&lt;/p&gt;

  36                 <description>&lt;p&gt;When asked to accept terms of use and privacy policies that state
  37 it will to remove rights I otherwise had or accept unreasonable terms
  38 undermining my privacy, I choose away the service.  I simply do not
  39 have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding.
  40 But how are the system and service providers to know how many people
  41 they scared away?  Normally I just quietly walk away.  But today, I
  42 tried a new approach.  I sent the following email (removing the
  43 specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
  44 to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them
  45 one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:&lt;/p&gt;

  53 &lt;p&gt;Dear [Site Owner],&lt;/p&gt;
  54
  55 &lt;p&gt;I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
  56 interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
  57 terms of use and privacy policy on &amp;lt;URL:
  58 https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use &amp;gt; and &amp;lt;URL:
  59 https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy &amp;gt; I want you to know that I
  60 decided to turn away.  There were several provisions in the terms and
  61 policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being
  62 asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.&lt;/p&gt;
  63
  64 &lt;p&gt;--
  65 &lt;br&gt;Happy hacking
  66 &lt;br&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
  67 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  68
  69 &lt;p&gt;I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case
  70 others want to give something similar a try too.  If companies
  71 discover their terms scare away enough people, perhaps they will be
  72 improved...&lt;/p&gt;
  73
  74 &lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
  75 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
  76 &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
