Folks, I am looking for a reading on piracy to assign to my class this semester and I am infinitely conflicted. It is an introductory class. Last year I assigned sections of Lessig's Free Culture, this year I want to assign something else because I'll also be assigning Lessig's other work. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thank you in advance :) -- Thanks, Burcu S. Bakioglu, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow in New Media Lawrence University http://www.palefirer.com http://palefirer.com/blog/

"In the Beginning was the Command Line" by Neal Stephenson is the seminal piece on this topic, even though its a bit dated now the basic principles it outlines still apply. Also you might consider The Pirate's Dilemma by Matt Mason and almost anything by Cory Doctorow, esp novel Little Brother. Or, if you want to get truly evangelical anything by Richard Stallman.

You can give this short paper from the Harvard Law Review. The Right To Privacy by Samuel Warren and Louis D. Brandeis Originally published in 4 Harvard Law Review 193 (1890) http://www.law.louisville.edu/library/collections/brandeis/node/225 I noted in my own studies how photography a new technology in 1890 brought privacy to the Supreme court. The Net also brings cases. If your goal with the students is to introduce them to privacy then from my undergraduate legal studies reader here is Thomas Halper, Privacy and autonomy: From Warren and Brandeis to Roe and Cruzan (1996) Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 121 at 121 -34. Swets and Zeitinger publishers. http://jmp.oxfordjournals.org/content/21/2/121.short There are many more like this in legal studies. Privacy is law topic for sure. The net is just another flavour to put in the cone. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Burcu Bakioglu Sent: September-07-12 4:34 PM To: AoiR list Subject: [Air-L] Reading on piracy...

The SSRC has a report on media piracy that you could download for free: *Media Piracy in Emerging Economies* <http://piracy.ssrc.org/the-report/>. They also have a survey report on copy culture in the US and Germany, which unfortunately is not complete yet. Cheers, On Sat, Sep 8, 2012 at 1:29 AM, Peter Timusk <ptimusk@sympatico.ca> wrote:

Sorry I guess I should read more carefully.

It's not scholarly, and not piracy-specific, but there are some good overtones that apply to discussions about piracy/drm/free culture in Stallman's "The Right to Read" essay -- which is very short and easy reading, btw. Might be useful in prompting discussions about the broader issues of 'anti piracy' in your class, especially the afterward. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html There's also Jessica Litman's book 'Digital Copyright' and Siva Vaidhyanathan's 'Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity' which may help, too. If you're looking for shorter-form stuff you could always check out things from EFF and/or related NGOs or research centers, too. cheers --rick On Sep 7, 2012, at 4:33 PM, Burcu Bakioglu wrote:
