I'm Upset Again About a Co-Creator of RSS Being Prosecuted For Something Meta Is Doing With Little Consequence – quailblog

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 17:47:56 +0000

It’s nothing short of an indictment of our society at large that Aaron Swartz, one of the co-creators of the RSS protocol (among many other things) was effectively assasinated by our legal system for “illegally” downloading about 70 gigabytes of academic articles from JSTOR - charged so excessively to be made an example of (we're talking 35 years in prison, $1million USD fine, and asset forfeiture) to the point where he felt the need to take his own life rather than deal with the court circus and impending financial ruin - while Facebook (oh I’m sorry Meta) has torrented 80 TERABYTES of books to train their AI models with virtually no consequences other than a court case they will most likely get some sort of financial slap on the wrist for while their AI models continue to print them money.

The Pirate Bay Is The World’s Most Efficient Public Library - Falkvinge on Infopolicy

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:50:40 +0000

It begs the question why every author, filmmaker, and musician isn’t up in arms about the New York Public Library’s rampant sharing, while there’s a ton of opposition to the sharing habits of BitTorrent peers who use The Pirate Bay. After all, The Pirate Bay’s community shares significantly less than the New York Public Library: just 1 million items in 2008 (and the collection certainly hasn’t grown 5000% since then). The reason that The Pirate Bay is offensive, and the New York Public Library is not, is because of its efficiency.

BagIt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:39:43 +0000

BagIt is a hierarchical file packaging format designed to support disk-based storage and network transfer of arbitrary digital content. A "bag" consists of a "payload" (the arbitrary content) and "tags", which are metadata files intended to document the storage and transfer of the bag. A required tag file contains a manifest listing every file in the payload together with its corresponding checksum. The name, BagIt, is inspired by the "enclose and deposit" method [1], sometimes referred to as "bag it and tag it".
