Sinnreich, A. & Aufderheide, P. (2015). Communication scholars and fair use: The case for discipline-wide education and institutional reform. International Journal of Communication, 9; 818-828.
Abstract:
A survey of 350 communication scholars internationally shows that, although scholars are increasingly aware of fair use and (when aware of it) benefit from the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Communication Scholarship, they continue to suffer from confusion and ignorance about how to apply this feature of copyright law that is crucial to their work. Most are not aware of the code, although those who use it report success. The survey results point to the need for discipline-wide education and application of the code’s affordances for institutional reform.

How Students Research Study Abroad Opportunities - NAFSA 2013Hotcourses Abroad
Presentation given by Mike Elms, CEO of Hotcourses at NAFSA in St Louis, USA. Through the Hotcourses channels, we commissioned a questionnaire into how prospective students search online, the content they would like to see, views on different types of programme and feedback on universities’ response to inquiries. 6,000 students took part in the survey and these are the findings.
Three communities of practice--documentary filmmakers, visual arts professionals, and communications scholars--have created codes of best practices in fair use to help them employ this right. How did behavior and attitudes change?
As electronic resources become more prevalent in Academic Libraries, communication between Electronic Resources Librarians and other departments such as Reference or Interlibrary Loan becomes increasingly important. The results of a survey of Academic Librarians regarding interdepartmental communication shall be presented along with a demonstration of the Intranet used by Montana State University Libraries.

Research is important to the library, information and knowledge (LIK) sector having the potential to demonstrate professional value and impact, raise the profile of library and information science discipline and contribute evidence for professional decision making. The Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) committee are undertaking a project to gain a baseline understanding of the confidence of UK LIK professionals in conducting and contributing to research? The findings, which will be shared at the conference, will help develop strategy, identify training needs and interventions that could be used to encourage practitioners to inform and transform their professional practice through research.

Who Gets Left Behind as Remix Goes Mainstream?Aram Sinnreich
A presentation of a paper by Fernanda Rosa and Aram Sinnreich at #AoIR2016. This paper uses longitudinal survey data to demonstrate the increasingly mainstream nature of "remix" or "configurable" culture, while also examining the lingering social inequities that are reproduced by asymmetric adoption of these emerging cultural trends.

Resisting Sovereign Surveillance: an activist agenda from the IncarceratedAram Sinnreich
Presentation made by Jessa Lingel and Aram Sinnreich at the Internet Research 15 Conference in Daegu, Korea, 10/23/14.
Full draft of the article is available at http://j.mp/incodification.
Presentation audio: https://soundcloud.com/original-sinn/incodification_ir15
Abstract:
This paper reviews penal history in order to consider forms of resistance to mass surveillance. Because experiences of surveillance are endemic to incarcerated life, identifying tactics of resistance among these populations provides valuable insights for potential forms of counter-conduct in other circumstances of ubiquitous monitoring. We focus on three forms of protest: hunger strikes, alternate communication networks and viral dance videos, which we frame through Foucault’s theory of askesis. We introduce the term incodification as a means of describing conditions of continuous surveillance ingrained into infrastructures of everyday life, even as these conditions give rise to tactics of resistance like those identified in this paper. Our objective in introducing this term, and with our analysis as a whole, is to provoke theoretical and activist projects that account for and subvert infrastructures of incodification.
Presentation audio: https://soundcloud.com/original-sinn/posthuman_rights_cornelltech
Abstract:
The rise of digital networks is contributing to profound shifts in the way we work, play, organize, and construct our identities. The "modern individual," a convenient fiction of the 19th and 20th centuries, is giving way to a more fluid understanding of the human condition, and inspiring some thinkers to postulate that we're entering a "posthuman" age. Yet our legal, economic, and institutional systems are still tied to the notion of "individual" rights and responsibilities. How can we update these systems to accommodate such changes, and what are the risks if we don't?
Sharing in Spirit: Kopimism and the Digital EucharistAram Sinnreich
Presented at International Communication Association annual Conference, May 22, 2014:
In April, 2012, in a ceremony officiated by an “ops” wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and wielding a talking laptop, the first Kopimist wedding was performed. It marked a significant milestone for this rapidly growing religion, founded in 2010 by a Swedish philosophy student named Isak Gerson and officially recognized by Sweden less than two years later. The religion is based on the principals that copying, disseminating and reconfiguring information are not only ethically right, but are in themselves “sacred” acts of devotion. Kopimist philosophy also holds that “the internet is holy” and that “code is law” (a phrase copied from legal scholar Lawrence Lessig).
Kopimism has already raised some interesting questions and debates in both legal and religious circles. Some have grumbled that the Kopimists are simply a bunch of “pirates” cleverly using religious protection to shield them from liability for copyright infringement. Others have suggested that the religion is little more than a sophomoric rhetorical exercise, the predictable product of a precocious young philosopher. In this article, I consider these viewpoints and suggest that, if we take Kopimist doctrine at its word, we can better understand it as the crystallization of an emerging value system centered around the proliferation of digital, networked information. Like copyright, and monastic Christianity before, it, Kopimism stakes out a socioepistemological vantage point, seeking to reconcile the regulatory demands of the 20th Century’s copyright regime with the cultural ramifications of today’s global digital information infrastructure.
Based on interviews with Kopimist officials and worshippers, as well as a critical reading of the religion’s “constitution” and other doctrinal texts, I delineate the complex ethical boundaries surrounding this new belief system, and examine it in contrast to previous religious and legal systems, evaluating its points of continuity and rupture to illuminate the unique challenges to ethics and morality in an era of information abundance and continuing material and educational inequity.
Why Doesn't the 'Brooklyn Sound' Sound Like Brooklyn?Aram Sinnreich

#Kopimism considered: Sophistry, sacrament or scam?Aram Sinnreich
Sweden recently became the first nation officially to recognize a new religion called Kopimism, based on the principal that copying, disseminating and reconfiguring information constitutes a "sacred" act. Some argue that Kopimists are a bunch of "pirates" using religion to shield them from copyright liability. Others see it as an absurd act of political theater. In this article, I suggest that it is the crystallization of an emerging cultural value system centered around digital networks. Like copyright, and monastic Christianity before it, Kopimism represents a socioepistemological solution to the irreconcilability of traditional cultural values and emerging informatic flows.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
