Plato's Aesthetics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
ctl + F : 'Form (of bed, of table)' for the relevant section.
Interesting how the mp3 incorporates this idea of the imperfect representation of universal concepts into it's structure, anticipating that the human ear won't be able to hear most of the music anyway, and therefore editing much of it out.
Unlike Plato, however, it doesn't deem this perversion as evil, shifting the power and value from the essential nature of what the mp3 represents (ie pure music) to how it's used (ie in a dirty, noisy pub).

'Google, says Pancino, is like a highway and cannot be held responsible for the conduct of bad drivers.'
Is Google endeavouring to make its search engine like some enormous intellectual property wiki?
It must be nice to be able to make the rules up as you go along.
Still, it seems like a clever loophole by which they might disassociate themselves from TPB.

Shotton_Semantic_publishing_evaluation.pdf (application/pdf Object)
Recent developments in Web technology can be used for semantic enhancement of scholarly journal articles, by aiding publication of data and metadata and providing ‘lively’ interactive access to content. Such semantic enhancements are already being undertaken by leading STM publishers, and automated text processing will help these enhancements become affordable and routine.
Publisher, editor and author all have primary roles in that process; an incremental approach is needed. Publication of data and metadata to the Web make possible added-value ‘ecosystem services’; semantic publishing will bring substantial benefits to scholarly communication.

Blog post with list of sources about digital publishing and copyright laws
The higher education and professional environments have been transformed for the last 20 years by the digital publishing revolution. Electronic resources and open access repositories are now part of research and professional tools. Herein the writer describes his experience with institutional open access repositories, and some implications in terms of research, impact and quality in civil engineering.
