==Other notes==<br />
<br />
*assumptions:<br />
**everyone will have at least a layman's understanding of terms<br />
**we can come up with one good discussable reading per session<br />
**a volunteer or assigned discussion facilitator for each session<br />
<br />
*Honestly, I don't particularly like the name ebooks. For me, the term is to closely associated with a struggling publishing industry. I think this class is more generally interested in the digital rights issues, and looking to exclude visual and audio art. How about the term "digital word?" - David<br />
*I don't like the name either, but what does "digital word" mean to anyone? We'll deal with the misconceptions in class. :) - Joshua<br />
<br />
''How many days worth of class is this?'' <br />
<br />
==Past Discussions==<br />
===Week 1: Intro===<br />
*Discussion leader: Joshua<br />
*Topics:<br />
**What this is course about and not about, and why are we here?<br />
**basic definitions, <br />
**what attendees want out of the class<br />
<br />
*Notes:<br />
*We have a wide range of interests, including but not limited to:<br />
-Why are people reading books on tiny screen, and how can it be a better experience?<br />
-How will ebooks fit into the public library?<br />
-With DRM, are we using the "hammer" of technology against a problem that isn't a "nail"?<br />
-Several people are interested in the law, intellectual property, copyright, and fair use<br />
-How can we deal with the very real accessibility concerns?<br />
*Our attempts at what the definition of an ebook is based on:<br />
-the effort it takes to produce one<br />
-its difference from articles, news, etc.)<br />
-the rights that come along with the name "book"<br />
-something that it relatively static (content-wise)<br />
-we don't know, let the experts decide<br />
-what you do with it defines what it is<br />
-ability to compare with others over time and/or space<br />
-emotional or sentimental connection with an object<br />
*Ditto, for DRM:<br />
-any technology that treats the user as an adversary<br />
-technological measures that give the illusion of protection/control<br />
-an alternative to trust<br />
-things that give personal comfort to rights holders<br />
*Joshua's central question for the course: <br />
<i>Taking the current balance for books as a model, what should be balance of rights look like for ebooks and how can DRM technology implement this balance?</i><br />
