A minor bug: words in italic do not have a space before and after them, as they should do. For example: http://www.slaverystories.org/harriet-jacobs/1 This is a great project.

It's not impossible, but it can be extremely difficult. Consider a short story published in a literary journal last week. Allow a copyright system to exist that covers each eligible work for 30 years by default, and allows multiple ext

I am not a lawyer, but I am fairly confident that trademark law would apply even where copyright did not. That is, because Mario's likeness is a trademark of Nintendo, you might not be able to use that likeness in a video game, even if

This idea is floated quite often in reformist discussions of copyright, but I think it would be a huge headache. I have worked with public domain material quite a bit. Currently, anything published in the United States prior to 1923 is in t

I don't think the article does a terribly good job of arguing the point, but I agree with the thesis in so far as it applies to my very limited experience. I made A Soft Murmur [1] without ever having written a line of code before. (Th

MtGox started as a Magic the gathering card exchange. While it's caused some snark, it didn't seem to get in the way of MtGox being the premiere BTC exchange for a while.

Who writes the profiles? Is it possible that a field partner of Kiva writes the profiles? That might explain the similarity. They might well i) use a template to create the text, and ii) seek out loan candidates who match a very specific se

The Paisley Rekdal poem referenced in the beginning of the article is "Bats" [1]. Can anyone find a copy of the plagiarized version by Christian Ward? I'd be very interested in seeing it. [1] http://www.poets.org&#

It's worth bearing in mind that bitcoin might never have reached the position it now holds if early adopters had not spent their coins as freely as they did.

With DO, is there anywhere in their GUI to see how much transfer your droplet has used in the current billing cycle? I realize that you can do this on the user end, but I neglected to when I set up my droplet, and I feel like if they'r

> I LOVE your "Fade to Silent in ___ minutes" feature. Perfect for inducing sleep. Thanks! It's my favorite feature too. I probably need to tweak the UI a bit to made it to make it more prominent though.

Thanks for following up. The system is quite sensitive to connection issues as the cross-fading only lasts 5 seconds or so. Glad it seems to be working now.

Thanks! I think it's really testament to how far web technologies have come.

There's actually a feature built in to mimic cross-fading; it must have not worked for you, and that worries me a little. What browser and OS are you using please? It's not possible to do true seamless looping with HTML5 audio, bu

This is a really neat idea and should be easy enough to add. Check back in a few days!

Thanks for sharing (broadcasting?) your thoughts! I struggled a bit with the positioning of the share button - I'll think about it some more. I hadn't considered that it's the first thing a new visitor sees, and I agree that&

Could you please point me towards an example or a resource that explains how, if possible? I'm very new to javascript.

Thanks for the feedback! Wind would be a great addition I agree. I've had a hard time finding good audio that has the right feel, but it'll be added at some point. White noise is on the todo list. What I really need to do is make

Downloading as an mp3 is an interesting idea. It would be a good excuse for me to learn some backend stuff. This is the first thing I've ever written but I enjoyed the process a lot. The popup window idea is also good and should be muc

Thanks, this looks interesting. Do you have a setup using this trick live on the web anywhere?

Thanks, I'm going to look into this.

I haven't found a way to make it work on iOS devices, unfortunately. There are many restrictions on what javascript is allowed to do, and I don't own an iOS device for testing ways around this.

I've done quite a bit of work with public domain text. While more flexible copyright terms do have some advantages, it becomes a nightmare to work out whether or not a given text is still in copyright, especially for the large majority
