Law in the Internet Society
So I thought it might be worth creating a page where we can post links that we find that are interesting? Or maybe I can just use this to store my own interesting links.

Two I like so far:

This story is about transactive memory which is an old issue and an old story, but I think is an interesting issue. I am curious to think about how that system of memory storage can be manipulated, or at least the implications of relying on a corporation as a place of storage.

Also, this I really like: copyright capitalism is eating itself you guys!

Sorry for the delay of my reaction to this initiative (I've been trying to figure out my login details for a week or so... woops.) Thanks Lizzie, I think this is a very good idea.

I've been trying to educate myself in programming using the following website: https://www.codecademy.com/learn - maybe this is useful for other code illiterates in our seminar, too. I think the code academy people are doing a great job at delivering free, and 'as-painless-as-it-can-get' classes in coding.

Also - you now how we were discussing anarchist production of functional goods? Here is some anarchist production of non-functional goods and I think its better than the original, amirite? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/24/arts/music/drake-rapper-actor-meme.html

The irony: You try to click on any of the links of the meme clips of drake hotline and you get the non-amused-youtube-smiley with the message "Drake Hotline..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by IFPI."

OMG. That's terrible. Drake is no way as cool as he thinks he is.

I learned today that Whatsapp is using Open Whisper Systems' TextSecrue (now called Signal) (Thanks Merel for teaching me about this) to encrypt Whatsapp messages end-to-end on Android devices. After the start of our seminar, I got increasingly nervous about using Whatsapp, so I was all the happier when I read this : Whatsapp is 'the' app for messages in Europe (I have the feeling it's not as popular in the US). I found the company's commitment to secrecy was more credible because Whatsapp's founder grew up in Ukraine during Soviet times... but maybe I'm just being naive here.
