Ein Brüsseler Gericht hat eine sehr breite Anordnung für Websperren erlassen. Sie richtet sich gegen die Open Library sowie Schattenbibliotheken wie Z-Library.

Archiv ist, egal in welcher techn. Form, wichtig und hat nichts mit Datenklau zu tun. Dies wird leider aber vom Kommerz öfters als solches angesehen.

"The Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age" was published around 10 years ago. Very interesting, how things have changed since then. TDM for research is still in its infancy, and reuse in the context of #ai has caused a backlash against most of the 6 principles of the Declaration. Tellingly, the Declaration is only accessible via the internet archive:

Reddit says that it has caught AI companies scraping its data from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine,
-- and it’s going to start blocking the Internet Archive from indexing the vast majority of Reddit.
The Wayback Machine will no longer be able to crawl post detail pages, comments, or profiles;
instead, it will only be able to index the Reddit.com homepage,
which effectively means Internet Archive will only be able to archive insights into which news headlines …

I was having this weird issue with Chrome/Linux on some websites where the 'i'-s were missing 😄 The characters were there, they just didn't show up. With the Internet Archive website I narrowed it down to the Helvetica.otf font. I had installed Helvetica.ttf too, but it works fine with it. Curiously, there was no problem with Firefox.

Case in point: A screenshot of the Internet Archive About page, where the text is rendered as "About the Internet Arch ve".

Imperialism. The European peoples, and especially the British, have long owed their high standard of life to direct or indirect exploitation of the coloured peoples. This relationship has never been made clear by official Socialist propaganda, and the British worker, instead of being told that, by world standards, he is living above his income, has been taught to think of himself as an overworked, down-trodden slave.
