eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Since 1971
Part 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER: GUTINDEX eBook numbers now have five digits.!
As we have recently posted our first eBook with a five digit eBook number
(#10701), we have made an adjustment to the GUTINDEXes to accomodate this
change. Basically, the alignment of eBook numbers less than 10,000 have
been moved one space to the right. This change is also reflected in the
eBook listings below.
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as Courier New
or similar.

*** Requests For Assistance
We're looking for a decent history of the US War of Independence,
or War of Insurrection, as it was also known. Thanks! Michael
***
We're forming a De-hyphenation Team. . .for a long time it was the
standard here not to include hyphenation, but, not being very bossy,
I didn't insist. . .but we have had several requests on this, so I
think we should look into it.
***
I am working on trying to collect and convert some public domain folk tunes
to ABC notation. Could use some help tracking down public domain versions
of the melodies or proof that these songs are in the public domain. Songs
I'm working on at present include:
I Know Where I'm Going
Simple Gifts
She Moved Throught The Fair
A Sailor Courted a Farmer's Daughter (aka Constant Lovers)
The Fisher Who Died in His Bed
Ufros Alienu
If anyone's interesting in converting folk songs to a digital public
domain format and would like to help or if you want to contact me, you can
do so through the mailing list at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pdsongs

Latin Is A Dying Language???
Latin Library (www.thelatinlibrary.com) died,
and was resurrected recently, bring attention
to the fact that we need to save these files,
find matching paper editions, and be sure the
files don't disappear.
If you would like to help with Latin eBooks,
please let me know.
We have a few volunteers for this who could
help coordinate your efforts, if you should
be able to locate any Latin books.
***
Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email me,
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November while
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
We are seeking pro bono or very cheap legal assistance to pursue
Project Gutenberg trademark infringers and similar issues. Please
email Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>.
[We received 3 replies from the US, 1 from Australia, but
may need more around December 10.]

The Future Of Project Gutenberg

more song lyrics and scores to listenable pieces in MIDI, WAV, and MP3.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by proofreading just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned)." Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's In Progress list at
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a you project you would like to work on.

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 32 weeks of this year, we have produced 2293 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2293 eBooks!!!
That's 32 WEEKS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
With 9,036 eBooks online as of August 13, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.11 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.585 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.74 when we had 5749 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 9,036+ books each costing $.64 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 9,036+ books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 9036 eBooks in 32 Years and 2.25 Months We Averaged
280 Per Year [About how many we do per month these days!]
23 Per Month
.78 Per Day
At 2293 eBooks Done In The 224 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
10 Per Day
72 Per Week
314 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 1st was
was the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended the production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan:
UCITA SUPPORT FADING FAST
Key backers of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA)
have bowed to pressure from opposition groups and will stop lobbying for
the bill's passage. The bill was intended to protect software developers
from intellectual property theft by bringing into conformity conflicting
software licensing laws in various states, but critics, including the
American Bar Association and the American Library Association, said the
legislation would grant software makers too much power over their products
at the expense of consumers. So far, UCITA has been enacted in only two
states, Maryland and Virginia, and now that the effort has lost the support
of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL),
UCITA is unlikely to gain further consideration from other states, says an
NCCUSL spokeswoman. Opponents of the bill commended NCCUSL for its
decision: "It is heartening to see NCCUSL backing away from a very flawed
statute, but it will never be able to write sound law for the information
economy until it takes to heart the criticisms of the user sector," said
Jean Braucher, a law professor at the University of Arizona and a member of
AFFECT -- Americans For Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions. (CNet

[THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT *NOT* MADE GLORIOUS SUMMER VIA TECH SUPPORT]
[I have advised 100's of people NOT to do this. . .duh! Here it lies R.I.P.]
[I downloaded an "upgrade" from Micron to fix some problems that made their
CDROM drive pretty iffy on reading CDROMs written via consumer CD writers.
Well, it's not "iffy" any more. . .now it won't read ANY of them, AND will
not read many OEM install CDROMs, even many from MicroSoft, so I can't
install a new OS which Micron said MIGHT help some.] [I just spent THREE
hours installing a new OS over a network connection. . .didn't help. . .
in fact I liked ALL the old stuff better, so far.]
NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT WITH TECH SUPPORT
A March survey of 10,000 computer users by Consumer Reports magazine
indicates that of the 8 million users who seek tech support from software
companies every year, about a third are not helped. "People are so
frustrated with tech support, they're not even calling," says CR senior
editor Jeff Blyskal. Not only that, but software's getting worse, according
to a 2002 report funded by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology. That study estimated that software glitches cost the U.S.
economy about $60 billion a year, with more than half of that borne by
users. "Consumers are unpaid conscripts in an unpaid army of product
testers who go and find the problems and alert the manufacturers," says
Blyskal. And while a spokesman for the Software and Information Industry
Association says software makers do not intentionally hurry products to
market before all the bugs are worked out, experts say the current crop of
software is riddled with errors, in part because of its increasing
complexity. To make matters worse, many companies are starting to charge
users for the privilege of attempting to resolve problems while the number
of tech support personnel steadily dwindles. And software firms' strategy
of channeling users toward online help menus and e-mail leaves much to be
desired, according to the CR survey, which showed that 73% of users said
Web solutions are hard to find, navigate or don't work at all. The e-mail
route is equally as frustrating, with 50% reporting either unhelpful
replies, response delays of longer than two days or no response at all.
Meanwhile, industry watchers hold out little hope for improvement: "You're
adding more complex software, more hardware devices, home-based Internet
applications. These things interact and they don't always work together.
That's going to make this a bigger problem," says Blyskal.(CNN.com 8 Aug 2003)

PRICE DISCRIMINATION COULD SPARK CONSUMER BACKLASH
The Internet has made it easy for consumers to comparison shop for items
such as mortgages, cars, airline tickets and the like, but the flip side of
that convenience is that sellers also know more about buyers than ever
before: how much they buy, when they buy, and even how much they can afford
to pay. The inevitable result is price discrimination -- the practice of
offering different prices to different buyers, something that drives
consumers crazy. For example, a few years ago Coca-Cola experimented with
vending machines that jacked up the price of its sodas as the temperature
rose. And airlines have become masters of the practice, offering different
customers the exact same thing -- a seat on a plane -- for vastly different
prices. But University of Minnesota mathematician Andrew Odlyzko says even
though consumers hate it, companies increasingly will try to vary their
prices to suit certain times, places or buyers. But the trend could spark a
consumer backlash, fueled by growing concern over personal privacy issues.
"The growth in price discrimination is just one factor involved in this
evolution of our economy toward where the fight is really going to be --
about ownership or control of information," says Odlyzko.

NEW WORM TARGETS MICROSOFT SECURITY SITE
A virus-like computer attack expected to infect hundreds of thousands of
computers worldwide is programmed to direct all infected computers to
attack the security-related Microsoft Web site www.windowsupdate.com, used
by millions of Microsoft users each week. The worm, variously called
LoveSan, Blaster and MSBlaster, is apparently similar in structure to the
Code Red virus that affected 300,000 computers two years ago; it targets a
flaw in Microsoft Windows operating systems, and is considered to be a worm
type of virus because it doesn't require computer users to open an e-mail
attachment or take any other action to spread automatically from computer
to computer. Home computer users who leave computers constantly online to
the Internet through DSL or cable are among those most at risk. (San Jose

AMERICA ONLINE WANTS 'AOL' FOR ITSELF
America Online CEO Jonathan Miller has asked AOL Time Warner to drop the
"AOL" portion of its moniker, because he's concerned that "AOL," the online
service, is being confused with "AOL," used as shorthand for the world's
largest media company. "I believe it's time for us to get our brand back,"
said Miller in an e-mail to staff Monday. "Any controversy or criticism
involving the corporate entity has actually hit our consumer brand." A
company spokeswoman said AOL Time Warner chief executive Richard Parsons is
considering Miller's proposal, but the final decision will be up to the
company's board. AOL Time Warner's name has been in the news recently as
the Securities and Exchange Commission investigates possible accounting
irregularities, mainly at the AOL division, which is also struggling with
dialup defection as subscribers switch over to broadband ISPs. (AP 11 Aug 2003)

MICROSOFT MUST PAY $521 MILLION FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENTS
A federal court in Chicago has ruled that Microsoft must pay $521 million
to Eolas Technologies and the University of California for infringing
patents owned by UC and licensed to Eolas. At issue is code included in
Internet Explorer that enables it to use plug-ins and applets, allowing Web
surfers to view multimedia or real-time content within a Web browser rather
than a separate software application. Eolas originally filed the lawsuit in
1999, and will receive 75% of the proceeds from the verdict, minus legal
fees and costs, and UC will receive the remaining 25%. Microsoft has said
it will appeal the jury verdict. (CNet News.com 11 Aug 2003)

IS 'SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION' THEORY AN ACADEMIC MYTH?
Columbia University researchers have conducted the first large-scale
experiment examining the "six degrees of separation" theory, which posits
that a short chain of acquaintances (six links or less) can be found
between almost any two people in the world. In this global study, more than
60,000 people tried to get in touch with one of 18 people in 13 countries,
and of the more than 24,000 e-mail chains that were started fewer than 2%
reached their targets. The successful chains arrived quickly, requiring
only four steps to get there, but the rest failed when someone in the
middle did not forward the e-mail. Psychologist Judith S. Kleinfeld of the
University of Alaska calls the "six degrees of separation" theory the
"academic equivalent of an urban myth" and says: "Instead of showing we
live in a small world, it really shows the opposite. Ninety-eight percent
of people can't reach anybody. What do they conclude? 'Hey, we're all
connected.' What? All I'm saying is this study didn't prove it." The
follow-up experiment is at http://smallworld.columbia.edu.

JUDGE THROWS OUT RIAA SUBPOENAS
A federal judge in Boston has rejected subpoenas filed by the Recording
Industry Association of America last month as part of its nationwide
crackdown on digital music file-sharing. The subpoenas targeted students at
Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who used
various screen names to share songs online. In his ruling, Judge Joseph L.
Tauro said that under federal rules, subpoenas issued in Washington cannot
be served in Massachusetts. The RIAA called the ruling "a minor procedural
issue" but declined to say whether it would refile in Boston. (AP 8 Aug 2003)

RIAA ENCOUNTERS ROADBLOCK
In what the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has deemed
a "minor procedural issue," a federal judge ruled that some of the
RIAA's subpoenas are invalid because they were issued from the wrong
jurisdiction. Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology recently received subpoenas requesting the identities of
students suspected of illegally trading copyrighted material, but the
schools noted that the subpoenas were issued from Washington, D.C., and
should not be valid in Massachusetts. Judge Joseph L. Tauro agreed and
threw out those subpoenas. The RIAA said the ruling does not change the
"undeniable fact" that Internet service providers, in this case the
universities in question, are legally required to reveal the identities
of suspected copyright violators.
BBC, 11 August 2003
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3140933.stm
ISPS CONTEST RIAA SUBPOENAS
An organization representing Internet service providers (ISPs) will
send a letter this week to the recording industry, expressing the
group's concern over the ongoing subpoenas from the recording
industry. The letter from NetCoalition, which represents more than 100
ISPs, requests a meeting with representatives of the recording industry
to discuss how the group determines which individuals to pursue as
violators and how it maintains accurate information in the subpoenas.
According to the letter, NetCoalition fears that the goal of the
subpoenas is to make ISPs legally accountable for the actions of their
users, something the recording industry "has not yet been able to
accomplish in Congress" but that it is trying to accomplish in the
courts. An attorney from the recording industry association said the
purpose of the subpoenas is simply to force ISPs to comply with the law.

WEBCAM SURVEILLANCE IN BILOXI SCHOOLS
Public schools in Biloxi, Mississippi, now have Web cameras in every
classroom, as the result of a two-year-long school-safety project. The
webcams are housed in circular domes on the ceiling and provide a sweeping
view of the classrooms to school administrators. A Biloxi school system
administrator reports that students and teachers have said they feel safer:
"They've been well received in the community. We have not had any problems
or complaints whatsoever." In rebuttal, the president of the Mississippi
American Federation of Teachers worries the cameras may affect
teacher/student rapport and doubts the cameras will act as enough of a
crime deterrent to justify the intrusion or the $2 million project cost.

danger already, with over 52,000 pages having been completed
already. There seems to be a serious amount of excitement being
generated over at DP with the amount of books they are getting
through, and it is nice to see the range and style of books expanding
so rapidly.

The poor dead woman whom he loved,
And murdered in her bed.

4. The Revenge of Hamish etext98/sposl10.txt [Etext #1229]
For at dawn of that day proud Maclean of Lochbuy to the hunt had waxed wild,
And he cursed at old Alan till Alan fared off with the hounds
For to drive him the deer to the lower glen-grounds:
"I will kill a red deer," quoth Maclean, "in the sight of the wife

5. The Raven etext00/poe5v10.txt [Etext #2151]
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" --
Merely this, and nothing more.

7. Paul Revere's Ride etext98/cphwl10.txt [Etext #1365]
A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet:
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 31 weeks of this year, we have produced 2218 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2218 eBooks!!!
That's 31 WEEKS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
With 8,960 eBooks online as of August 6, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.12 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.585 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.75 when we had 5704 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 8,960+ books each costing $.63 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 8,960+ books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 8960 eBooks in 32 Years and 2.00 Months We Averaged
278 Per Year [About how many we do per month these days!]
23 Per Month
.75 Per Day
At 2218 eBooks Done In The 217 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
10 Per Day
72 Per Week
316 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 1st was
was the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended the production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

MILLIONS HANG UP ON LANDLINES
Some 7.5 million Americans have cut the cord, canceling their landline
phone service in favor of cell phone plans that offer free long distance
and hundreds of minutes at competitive rates. Leading the way are students
and young professionals who find that wireless devices mesh better with
their mobile lifestyles. "It will be interesting to see if these young
people who have abandoned landline phones will turn back to them as they
grow older or if wireless will be able to serve all their needs," says a
spokesman for the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association.
According to figures from the International Telecommunication Union, cell
phones now comprise 43% of all U.S. phones, up from 37% in 2000. Over the
same period, the number of U.S. landline phones has dropped almost 3%,
according to the FCC. The U.S. now has nearly one cell phone for every two
Americans -- a penetration rate it took landline phones 100 years to achieve.

STUDY SAYS THE INTERNET IS GOOD FOR KIDS
A three-year, $1.5-million Michigan State University study of children from
90 low-income families has tentatively concluded that children introduced
to the Internet at home improve their grades and perform better on
standardized reading tests. A project administrator explained, "You have to
read for everything you want to do on the Web, even if you want to download
music. They were playing and happened to be learning, which is the way we
learn most basic things in our first years... We need more good research on
what this technology is doing to children and adults. We hear a lot of hype
and anecdotes. We really don't know how much time kids are spending and the
impact on their lives." The average age of the 140 children participating
was 13, and nearly half the families reported household incomes of less
than $15,000 a year. The children were online an average of 30 minutes a
day. (Globe & Mail 4 Aug 2003)

THE REST OF THE STORY ON CD SALES DECLINE
The Recording Industry Association of America has taken unprecedented steps
to curb music piracy in the U.S., and blames file-sharing for the recent
drop in CD sales. But he real culprit in the controversy over digital music
is organized crime, whose activities are responsible for the 14% rise in
counterfeit CD sales in 2002, according to a report by the International
Federation of the Phonographic Industry. The pirate CD market has swelled
over the last several years, making it "of greater value than the
legitimate music market of every country in the world, except the USA and
Japan," says the IFPI's Commercial Music Piracy 2003 report. At the same
time, the U.S. music industry has produced 25% fewer CDs over the past two
years, according to RIAA figures, and Jupiter Research analyst Mark
Mulligan says the industry is suffering a hangover after the '80s and '90s,
when fans were snapping up CD versions of their favorite vinyl oldies. "Now
the CD replacement cycle has drawn to a close," says Mulligan. Finally,
music has more competition when it comes to young people's discretionary
spending. "Youths are no longer defining themselves by music in the same
way they used to," says Mulligan. In addition to CDs, younger people are
spending money on videogames, DVDs, clothing and lifestyle accessories.

NEW ONLINE FUTURES MARKET BETS ON NEXT WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL
In response to the Pentagon's now-discarded plans for a terrorism futures
market, academics from half a dozen U.S. universities have created an
American Action Market, which will offer traders the opportunity to wager
on the likelihood of various Washington political events, such as: Which
country will the White House threaten next? Who will be the next foreign
leader to move off the CIA payroll and onto the White House's "most wanted"
list? Which corporation with close ties to the White House will be the next
cloaked in scandal? The AAM will begin registering traders in September and
will open for business October 1. "It's quite amazing, the Pentagon and the
White House are very fertile imaginative fields these days," says one of
the AAM founders. "(The AAM project) sounds humorous, but that just shows
how far things have gone. We've entered the realm of fiction. Things are
really Dr. Strangelove." Bob Forsythe, a University of Iowa professor who
helped set up the Iowa Electronic Markets that speculate on election
results, says such futures markets can deliver fairly accurate predictions,
but the traders have to be knowledgeable. "You have to have informed traders
or they don't work very well. Who are the informed traders in an assassination
market, for example? The same's true for predicting the White House."

USING MOBILE PHONE DATA TO TRACE PEOPLE'S LOCATION
[Hmmm. . .No Mention Of Big Brother. . .Could Be Because He's From The U.K.?]
Carphone Warehouse PLC, a U.K. company, has launched the first major
commercial service that traces people's locations using their mobile
phones. Called mapAmobile, the service is charging #30 ($48) a year and 30
pence (48 cents) per request, and claims accuracy to within 50 yards.
Carphone chief executive Andrew Harrison says, "We are responding to a real
consumer need by bringing to the market a reliable, affordable and
effective way for people to locate each other without disturbing them." But
privacy advocate Barry Hugill of a group called Liberty worries: "Once the
technology is there, it is there to be abused and I find it very hard to
believe that it would be watertight. Potentially we could see stalkers
moving in on the act." MapAmobile locates users by tracing the unique
identifier each cell phone transmits and triangulating between the network
towers that transmit and receive signals to and from phones.

EU GIVES MICROSOFT A LAST CHANCE TO REFORM
European Union Competition Commissioner Mario Monti says evidence collected
during the EU's four-year probe of Microsoft business practices indicate
that the software giant is unfairly leveraging the "overwhelmingly dominant
position" that its Windows operating system enjoys in the PC market into
the server market. Monti gave Microsoft "a last opportunity to comment
before" imposing tough restrictions on the way it does business in Europe.
The EU has the power to fine Microsoft up to 10% of its global annual
revenue for antitrust abuses. Microsoft has argued that the changes it's
made in business practices as part of its settlement with U.S. antitrust
officials, combined with additional steps it's taken voluntarily, should
allay European concerns over its practices. But today Monti demanded that
Microsoft "reveal the necessary interface information" so that other
vendors of server software can "compete on a level playing field," and
ordered Microsoft to either sell a stripped-down version of Windows without
its Media Player software, or agree to include rival versions of media
players with Windows. An EU spokesman says a final ruling will come "in
months, not years." (Wall Street Journal 6 Aug 2003)

XML: EXTREMELY CONFUSING?
Most experts agree that XML -- a meta-language designed as "a toolset to
define building blocks for data identifiers" -- will play a major role in
the future of digital content and how it's stored and found on the Web, but
the fragmentation of XML standards and specifications is daunting. "At the
very least, the proliferation of standards could result in millions of
dollars in lost effort for organizations utilizing the meta-language; at
worst it will corrupt data and compromise business-critical transactions
and operations because different parts of the same company will process
conflicting XML messages without knowing it," says a recent Gartner report,
which predicts that of the $3 billion likely to be spent worldwide on XML
modeling activities between 2001 and 2004, $2 billion of it will be wasted.
"There are so many specifications under development in XML right now that
no one can keep track of them. There are hundreds of them," says Gartner
research director Charles Abrams. Abrams predicts that the current
hodgepodge of standards will consolidate over time as companies gain
experience in applying XML to their business operations, but that it will
require additional cooperation among users and customers to make the whole
system workable in the long run. "It's not just a matter of agreeing on
specifications, it's getting experience of what you do with it. Just
because you have letters, grammar and an alphabet does not mean you are
going to press a button and end up with literature overnight." Meanwhile,
McKinsey & Co. advises that for the time being, companies should stick with
tried-and-true technologies such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for
e-commerce and other mission-critical applications. (ZDNet UK 5 Aug 2003)
GOVERNMENT SOUNDS THE ALARM ON HACK ATTACKS
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warns that in recent days computer
hackers have successfully tested new tools that exploit a vulnerability
known as "buffer overflows" in order to gain control of Windows PCs via the
Internet. The vulnerability was discovered by Polish researchers who call
themselves the "Last State of Delirium Research Group" and Microsoft has
posted a patch on its Web site that individual PC owners can install to
safeguard their machines. Experts warn that the attack tools, once
perfected, could be used to disrupt Internet traffic by clogging data
networks, or could allow crackers to delete or steal sensitive files.
However, a senior security manager at Symantec says hackers haven't yet
worked out all the glitches in these tools. "It is a little early. The
exploit needs to be perfected. The effort applied to the exploit is
certainly increased, but we're not sure if that's indicative of when we
might see a widespread threat. People certainly need to be aware of this."
Meanwhile, Internet Security Systems, which operates an early warning
network for the technology industry, has raised its alert level to the
second notch, indicating "increased vigilance" is warranted. "Everybody is
predicting a widespread event, going from zero to 60 very quickly," says
Internet Security Systems engineering director Dan Ingevaldson, who rates
the probability of a major attack as "closer to imminent than probable."

SBC'S PAC BELL JOINS LEGAL BATTLE AGAINST RIAA
SBC Communications' Pacific Bell Internet Services unit has filed a
complaint against the Recording Industry Association of America, alleging
that many of the subpoenas recently served against online music swappers
were done so improperly. Pac Bell contends that more than 200 subpoenas
seeking file-sharers' e-mail addresses were issued from the wrong
jurisdiction, and also states that the RIAA's demand for information on
multiple file-sharers cannot be grouped under one subpoena. An SBC
spokesman added that the RIAA's use of a provision in the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act to force ISPs to reveal information on their
subscribers interferes with customer privacy: "The action taken by SBC
Internet Services is intended to protect the privacy of our customers.
Misapplication of DMCA subpoena power raises serious constitutional
questions that need to be decided by the courts, not by private companies
who operate without duty of due diligence or judicial oversight."

RINGTONES MAY RING UP SALES FOR RECORD COMPANIES
Record companies will soon begin snapping up cell phone ringtone producers
and distributors in a strategy to cash in on a potentially lucrative
market, predicts a recent report by Strategy Analytics. In addition, the
report says that record labels are likely to go one step further and set up
ringtone studios to accommodate consumer demands for "real" music
ringtones, as opposed to the simple ones available now. "We see ringtones
as a catalyst for record companies to become more actively involved in the
ringtone market, in light of dwindling CD single sales, as is often
reported, and we advise that this would be a key strategy for moving them
forward," says Strategy Analytics senior analyst Nitesh Patel.

[As Predicted. . .By Yours Truly]
VIRTUAL STUNTMEN SET FOR HOLLYWOOD DEBUT
Natural Motion, based in Oxford, England, has developed software that
creates and controls the bodies of virtual stuntmen who can perform
death-defying feats just like real people, but without the risk of injury.
The simulation system is being used to create stunts for the forthcoming
historical epic, "Troy," which stars Brad Pitt as Achilles and Orlando
Bloom as Paris. The software, dubbed Endorphin, is based on models of the
human body and is capable of "learning" how real muscles and bone work
together in a situation to create a convincing simulation of live action.
"Sometimes you see some of our behavior engineers lying on the ground,
rolling around trying to work out how they would do something," says
Natural Motion technology director Colm Massey. "Then they try to teach the
virtual actor to do what they had just been doing^E We say to the director
'what do you want to happen now? Do you want him to be blown up, do you
want his legs to be ripped off or do you want him to fall down a cliff or
reach out and grab for something and fail and stumble and fall?'" Massey
says his Endorphin creations will never fully take the place of human
stuntmen, who will always be needed for close-up action. "It's not the end
of the day for real stuntmen, but we will take some of their jobs."

WORTH THINKING ABOUT: TAX REBATES, ROMAN-STYLE
Yale University professor Donald Kagan writes:
Tax collection from the poor in Roman times was not a matter of
polite letters and, as a last resort, a legal action: beating up defaulters
was a matter of routine, if they were humble people. A casual remark of the
fifth century ecclesiastical writer Theodoret shows us what the procedure
of tax-collection was likely to be in a Syrian village: 'At this time,' he
says, 'collectors arrived who compelled them to pay their taxes and began
to imprison some and maltreat others.' In Egypt the same brutal procedure
can be seen at work: local officials would seize taxpayers whom they
alleged (rightly or wrongly) to be in default, imprison and ill-treat them,
and, with the aid of soldiers and local levies, burn down their houses.
After quoting a particular example of such a procedure, from the reign of
Justinian, Sir Harold Bell, historian of Graeco-Roman Egypt, remarked,
'Such were regular accompaniments to the process of collecting arrears of
taxes from an Egyptian village of the sixth century.' According to
Ammianus, an Egyptian in the late fourth century would blush for shame if
he could not show on his back scars inflicted by the tax-collector's whip.
And it is worth repeating here the statement of Ammanius that the Emperor
Julian realized it was no good granting remissions of tax arrears in Gaul
in the 350s, because this would only benefit the rich; the poor would have
been made to pay immediately and in full. There must have been many occasions,
too, on which hapless peasants were forced to pay their taxes twice over,
whether because the tax had first been extracted from them by the agents
of a 'usurper,' or because their landlord, after collecting the tax, became
insolvent before paying it over to the authorities to whom he was responsible.

decided to change my email address! It was great for about a week and then
the junk began to pour in again! I decided to play with the filters in my

being a big help. Now ALL my email arrives in the "Trash" mailbox. Every
few hours I just go to the "Trash," quickly scan for the 2 or 3 important

empty the trash. It's faster than highlighting so may emails in my "In" box,
moving them to the trash, and then emptying the trash. (Liane Reif-Lehrer)

[One War Toy Too Many, Says The US Public Non-Silent Majority]
PENTAGON GIVES UP FUTURES MARKET ON TERRORISM
Not long after details of its operation were made public, the Policy
Analysis Market--and its subsequent initiative, the Futures Markets
Applied to Prediction--have been canceled. The programs came out of the
Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and were
intended to predict future terrorism by selling futures on specific
events, such as North Korean missile attacks or the assassination of
Yasser Arafat. Just as commodities futures markets are used to predict
ups and down in global petroleum markets, for example, so too were
these programs supposed to serve as indicators, based on futures that
individuals would purchase, of specific upcoming terrorist activities.
Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) brought the
programs to public attention with a letter they sent to John
Poindexter, head of DARPA. In it, the senators said, "Spending taxpayer
dollars to create terrorism betting parlors is as wasteful as it is
repugnant. The American people want the federal government to use its
resources enhancing our security, not gambling on it." The Pentagon has
agreed to end the programs.
Internet News, 29 July 2003
WYDEN BILL GOES AFTER FEDERAL THREATS TO PRIVACY
Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has introduced the Citizens' Protection in
Federal Databases Act, designed to put severe limits on federal
programs that, according to Wyden, "shine a spotlight onto the personal
records of law-abiding citizens who have a constitutionally protected
right to privacy." The bill would require federal agencies using
commercial databases to file reports with Congress about exactly how
they are using personal information. Agencies that do not would risk
losing funding. The bill also would not allow data mining, to prevent
the federal government from going on "fishing expeditions" looking for
people who match certain profiles. Wyden has been one of Congress's
most fervent opponents of what he sees as violations of the rights of
individuals in the United States. He has strong support from groups
including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Privacy
Information Center.

DHS REPEATS SOFTWARE WARNING
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reiterated a warning
about a security flaw in most Windows operating systems, the first time
the agency has issued two warnings concerning the same problem. The
first warning came in mid-July, when Microsoft released information
about the weakness, which could allow Internet hackers to take over
computers and use them for a range of malicious purposes. DHS has urged
computer users to install patches for the operating systems affected,
but the widespread nature of the threat prompted the agency to issue
the second warning. According to a DHS spokesman, as many as 75 percent
of the nation's computers connected to the Internet are vulnerable.
If exploited, the flaw could lead to damages similar to those from the
Code Red virus, estimated at $2 billion. A spokesman from Microsoft
said the company believes that most of the largest affected users,
including commercial and government systems, have downloaded the patches.

REQUIREMENT STYMIES WEB RADIO
Even after a settlement was reached earlier this year over royalty
rates for small Webcasters, many college radio stations remain
uncertain about their ability to stream music over the Internet because
of unresolved issues about reporting requirements. During negotiations,
the recording industry requested that Webcasters keep detailed records
of what songs are played and how many listeners hear them. In addition,
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act prevents Webcasters from playing
more than two consecutive songs from a single CD, for example, or more
than three songs from a CD within a three-hour period. Small Webcasters
objected to these requirements, saying that keeping detailed records of
songs and listeners would be prohibitive for very small stations.
Further, many small stations highlight particular artists, often
obscure ones, and play songs for an hour or more from just that artist.
Negotiations resulted in an exemption to these rules until the end of
2004, with final resolution to be settled later. In the meantime, many
stations remain uncertain about whether they will be able to continue
Webcasts after 2004.

A KINDER, GENTLER CAPPS II
Following a series of very vocal criticisms of the proposed Computer
Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS II) program, the
Transportation Safety Administration has released a set of new
guidelines for the program. Under the original proposal, the system
would run background checks, including credit and criminal searches, on
all airline passengers when reservations were made, and would assign
each passenger a risk code. The system was roundly attacked by privacy
and consumer groups for being intrusive and ineffectual in stopping
terrorism. The new guidelines specify that airline passengers will
still be required to supply name, address, telephone number, and date
of birth. That information will be transmitted to commercial data
providers for the "purpose of authenticating passenger identity." The
only correlation sought will be between data in the CAPPS II system and
that held by commercial data providers. Data providers will not own any
of the data they see or be able to keep it, and passengers will be able
to request access to most of the data in the system.

SBC CHALLENGES RIAA AND DMCA
Pacific Bell Internet Services (PBIS), a division of SBC
Communications, has filed a legal challenge to recent subpoenas to its
customers from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
PBIS argued that the subpoenas are overly broad and originate from
improper jurisdictions, though PBIS said the true intention of the
lawsuit is to challenge the recording industry's right to access
information about its customers. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
which the courts have said gives the RIAA the right to demand user
identities of suspected copyright violators, may in fact violate
constitutional protections of privacy, according to PBIS. The RIAA said
that before the lawsuit was filed it had contacted SBC regarding the
concerns raised in the suit but that it had been "rebuked" by SBC.

COPYRIGHT APATHY ON THE RISE
A new survey from the Pew Internet and American Life Project shows that
67 percent of file sharers are unconcerned about copyright issues, up
from 61 percent in 2001. Among high-school and college students, the
number rises to around 80 percent. One researcher at the Pew project
said she was surprised that recent attention to legal issues of file
sharing had not resulted in lower rates of apathy, but a spokesman from
the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) discounted the
survey's results, saying that it predated his organization's
announcement about prosecuting individual file sharers. He said that
other research has shown that the RIAA's recent actions will result in
more users paying attention to and caring about copyright issues. This
week Senator Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) began looking into the RIAA's
actions, including the subpoenas it has filed. Coleman said he is
concerned about situations in which family members or roommates have
been caught up in the RIAA's hunt for copyright violators.

This is to all of you that signed up for the "do not call" law. This week
I received a card in the mail that looked alright BUT it said "vote for
your favorite cola, Pepsi or Coke, and receive a complementary 12 pack"
It didn't look suspicious, but for some reason I kept looking at it.
THEN I FOUND IT !! At the bottom of the card there is a VERY small
statement. It is SO small it is hard to read, but here is what it says:
By completing this form, you agree that sponsors and co-sponsors of this
offer may telephone you, even if your number is found on a do not call
registry or list"
This REALLY upset me and I just wanted all my friends to be aware of this
way to get around the "do not call" law !! Just think how many people will
send this in and their do not call registry will be NO GOOD !! The company's
name is MARKET SOLUTION. Please send this to all your friends that signed
up for "do not call". I think this is just one of what we will get in the
future, so READ EVERYTHING before you SIGN AND SEND !!
AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT !!! PLEASE !!!
And from Alice:
They have this in the UK as well, you have to really look closely at
everything. Watch out also for the following. Companies normally have a 'tick
here to not receive our mail/call'. After a while some of them change it
around, so it becomes 'tick here to receive'. Of course, you have got so used
to the first version you get caught out. The Advertising Standards Authority
in the UK has been trying for a while now to get the law changed so that the
size of the small print can't be below a certain limit. We are still waiting.

This guy buys a car at a gov't auction and gets more than he bid for.
http://practice.findlaw.com/courtside-0803.html
67 year-old Mexican national and resident Jose Aguado Cervantes purchased a car
from the federal government at a U.S. Marshals auction. Three months later, Mr.
Cervantes was crossing the U.S. border when he was stopped by Customs agents,
who searched the car and found 119 pounds of marijuana hidden in the bumpers.
Cervantes was arrested and spent over three months in prison, until the govern-
ment figured out it had failed to take the marijuana out of the vehicle after
it was seized, and before it was put up for auction.
It gets better. . .Cervantes sued the government for negligence. [..]

REMINDER: GUTINDEX Has Moved to Five Digits!
As we have recently posted our first eBook with a five digit eBook number
(#10701), we have made an adjustment to the GUTINDEXes to accomodate this
change. Basically, the alignment of eBook numbers less than 10,000 have
been moved one space to the right. This change is also reflected in the
eBook listings below.
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as Courier New
or similar.
=============================================================================
= [ Here Are The Updated Listings For This Past Week ] =

TOTAL COUNT as of today, Wed 08 Aug 2003: 8,961 (incl. 262 Aus.).
Last week the Total Count was 8,871, including 255 at PG of Australia.
This week we added 90 new (incl. 7 at PG of Australia).
RESERVED count: 39
A "?" at the beginning of the filename indicates that the eBook is
available in both 7- & 8- bit versions.

============= [ SUBMIT A NEW EBOOK FOR COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE ]==============
If you have a book you would like to confirm is in the public domain in
the US, and therefore suitable for Project Gutenberg, please do the
following:
1. Check whether we have the eBook already. Look in
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL
which is updated weekly. (The searchable catalog at
http://www.gutenberg.net lags behind by several months)
2. Check the "in progress" list to see whether someone is already
working on the eBook. Sometimes, books are listed as in progress for
years - if so, email David Price (his address is on the list) to ask
for contact information for the person working on the book. The "in
progress" list:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
3. If the book seems to be a good candidate (pre-1923 publication
date, or 1923-1988 published in the US without a copyright notice),
submit scans of the title page and verso page (even if the verso is
blank) to:
http://beryl.ils.unc.edu/copy.html

Distributed Proofreaders Update
Following on from last week's update, I thought I would let you know
the result of all the hard work at DP in July.
Thanks to some tremendous efforts (and lots of coffee!) DP achieved
124,797 proof-read pages during the month. There was a major effort
to attempt to break 125,000, but a site slow-down in the last few
hours put paid to that, much frustration all around. This month they
are looking for 128,960 pages. With a posting on the message boards of
'The Guardian'* website today hoping to generate more publicity and
volunteers, and a current average of around 4,00 pages a day being
completed, this shouldn't be impossible.
*The Guardian is a UK based newspaper, usually referred to as 'The
Gruniad' in this house for all the spelling mistakes!`

Excerpts
1.
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.
--------------------
2.
He did not wear his scarlet coat,
For blood and wine are red,
And blood and wine were on his hands
When they found him with the dead,
The poor dead woman whom he loved,
And murdered in her bed.
--------------------
3.
And I cried -- "It was surely October
On _this_ very night of last year,
That I journeyed -- I journeyed down here! --
That I brought a dread burden down here --
On this night, of all nights in the year,
Ah, what demon has tempted me here?
--------------------
4.
For at dawn of that day proud Maclean of Lochbuy to the hunt had waxed wild,
And he cursed at old Alan till Alan fared off with the hounds
For to drive him the deer to the lower glen-grounds:
"I will kill a red deer," quoth Maclean, "in the sight of the wife
and the child."
--------------------
5.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" --
Merely this, and nothing more.
--------------------
6.
On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road runs by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
--------------------
7.
A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet:
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
* Answers will be published next week, along with names of any
smarty-pants who care to drop me a line with their answers.

Request for sponsorship
>From Ted Garvin
There are some books of historical/literary significance that I would
like to get through ILL (Inter Library Loans). Only one problem (aside
from finding time to scan them, but I seem to manage in that area),
and that is lack of funds.
So this is a plea for sponsorship. Email Ted at garvint at yahoo.com

2) News
"The Future Of Project Gutenberg After Our 10,000th eBook"
People have been asking me about the future of Project Gutenberg
this week of our 32nd anniversary: how long we could keep up in
our efforts to continue at Moore's Law growth rates; grand total
of books we could expect to do if nothing after the Mickey Mouse
birthday in 1926 has a copyright expiration date, and our effort
to do books in more and more languages and cultures, etc., etc.
As for Moore's Law, this is a very difficult growth rate to keep
up with these days, requiring that we continue to keep up with a
growth rate approximately doubling every 18 months. I make that
"approximately" because since 1990, we are somewhat ahead of the
Moore's Law growth curve, but just barely keeping up since 1993,
when we ended with 100 eBooks in December. The "official" date,
given that we were a month ahead of schedule, was January, but I
recall that eBook #100, the Complete Works of Shakespeare, would
have been online overnight from December 10th to 11th, depending
on what time zone you were in. [Some people worked on it from a
location in Hawaii, so we got a few extra hours.]
Given that we were on a monthly production rate back then, exact
dates weren't relevant, we only reported production on the first
Wednesday of each month, so comparisons from today to then would
not be terribly exact, other than on a monthly basis.
However, _I_ still try to keep up with that December 10th date--
it is an anniversary of my father's death--and he was an English
professor who specialized in Shakespeare.
My recollection is that Moore's Law would require something like
10,700 and something by December 10, 2003, so I announced 10,000
as our goal for that date, and figured we might get that 700 and
some by the end of the year, but it's going to be close, on both
counts, if you'll pardon the pun.
The real questions for the future are about getting to a million
by December 10, 2013, which is what it would take to keep up the
growth rate for the next decade at the same rate as for the last
decade of 1993 to 2003. . .100 times as many books each decade.
Personally, I am hoping we could get enough funding and exposure
after we get to 10,000 that we could actually DO 1,000,000 books
in the next decade, but obviously another decade would mean that
we would have to do 100,000,000 books, and that is probably more
books than will exist 20 years from now.
The solution is to tackle translating the one million books that
are already done into one hundred languages. . .something I fear
will put the Babelfish and Golden Bow projects to severe testing
to see if they can provide anything as useful as scanners became
10 years ago. I should add here, that the first scanner I used,
huge and expensive as it was, was NOT worth the time it took and
I ended up coming back down here to my basement and typing books
in from scratch. Translation is MUCH harder!!! I would HOPE it
will be made a LOT easier by then!!!
So, in a nutshell, there it is. . .my plans for two more decades
of Project Gutenberg growing at Moore's Law growth rates. Don't
expect a simple crossover between doing new books and languages,
I expect we will continue to encourage translations, to and from
all 100 languages we eventually hope to work in, and that public
domain legal standing may not quite suffer the complete disaster
planned for it by the copyright authorities of today, and, thus,
we might get to do some, or even most, of the publications after
1923, including music, various kinds of artwork and perhaps even
things we have not yet even considered for Project Gutenberg.
Hollywood, RIAA, and Network Television notwithstanding, and not
to leave out the paper tigers.
***
Here it is in numbers:
December 10, 1990 10 Ten
December 10, 1993 100 One Hundred
December 10, 2003* 10,000 Ten Thousand
December 10, 2013* 1,000,000 One Million
December 10, 2023* 100,000,000 One Hundred Million
*estimated
The 100,000,000 for December 10, 2023 could be any mixtures made
up of the following examples, or even include more options:
1,000,000 eBooks, each in 100 languages
2,000,000 eBooks, each in 50 languages
4,000,000 eBooks, each in 25 languages
5,000,000 eBooks, each in 20 languages
I would like to see the core of our collection translated into 5
languages in the next decade to gain some experience, perhaps:
[Alphabetically]
Chinese
French
German
Spanish
etc. . .
Doesn't have to be the same 5 languages for each book we try.
***
When considering the future of Project Gutenberg, one should not
only consider the number of books in our collection, but also an
approximation of how many people we expect to get them.
The original goal of Project Gutenberg was a multiple one:
1. To Encourage The Creation And Distribution Of eBooks.
2. To Create A Collection of 10,000 Project Gutenberg eBooks.
3. To Get Those 10,000 eBooks To 100,000,000 Readers On The Average,
TO GIVE AWAY A TOTAL OF ONE TRILLION = 1,000,000,000,000 eBooks.
[100,000,000 readers is about 1.5% of the world population today]
When we accomplish this goal in about 5 months our goal will shift to
creating a collection totalling 1,000,000 and getting them to readers
totalling 1,000,000,000 = ONE BILLION READERS to give away a total of
1,000,000,000,000,000 = ONE QUADRILLION eBOOKS TO BE GIVEN AWAY. . .!
***
We also have to consider movies, television, music, photography,
etc., and we must therefore fine experts in the copyrights these
have as they are NOT the same as for written texts.
In addition, we will be moving into the area of doing more books
from before 1923, and thus doing research on copyright renewals.
***
In addition, I have been asked to address the question of formats:
Project Gutenberg always has promoted plain text eBooks to make books
available in the widest possible combinations of hardware & software,
and we will continue to do so. We ARE considering various formats in
addition to plain text, and also considering doing something XMLish--
that may allow the creation of a wide variety of formats "on the fly"
if we can manage it. Yes, we do have ONE eBooks that we posted ONLY!
in 8 bit format, as the volunteer did not want the French without the
proper accents. Eventually that book will probably also appear in an
ordinary plain text format, but I promised it would have to come from
an outside source, as we promised we would abide by his wishes. This
is just one mark of dedication to the Project Gutenberg volunteers, I
try not to be very bossy, as I think our volunteer should enjoy eBook
creation and distribution from start to finish.
!!!!!!!My HUGE Thanks To ALL Our Volunteers!!!!!!!

Amazon Says They Want To "Partner" With Project Gutenberg
Amazon Has Asked For Our Help With This, What Do YOU Think We Should Do?
AMAZON TO ADD TEXT-SEARCHING FEATURE
Amazon.com is working on a new program to offer users the ability to
search thousands of nonfiction books. In the Look Inside the Book II
program, users would not be able to view the entirety of any text but
could search for words or phrases across many thousands of texts. The
results would show the sentence where the term appears, and users could
expand that sentence to see several pages before and after the term.
Amazon is currently negotiating with many large publishing houses to
make content available in the program, which Amazon argues will be an
incentive for customers to buy more books. Most of the publishers
Amazon has talked to have reportedly been interested in the program,
though they are concerned about exposing too much of their material.
Users who were able to see just a few pages of reference books and
cookbooks, for example, might see all they need to see and not buy the
book.

The Beagle has landed
"Fancy a trip to Milton Keynes*?"
"Why?"
"To go and see a man about a log"
"Plenty of trees in the park, don't need to go there"
"Wrong sort of log"
"What other sort is there?"
Well, how about a ships log, in this case, the spacecraft type. Thanks
to Radio Gutenberg, the team at Milton Keynes has granted the use and
broadcast of the log of the Beagle Lander. Beagle is just part of the
Mars Express mission to Mars that took off from Kazakstan in
June. Beagle is due to land on Mars on December 25th, so hopefully,
shortly afterwards we will be off to collect the first instalment.
* After many surveys, we believe this to be the equivalent of taking a
trip to any one of the following places:
Adelaide, Australia
Etal, Germany (summer only)
Hanover, Germany
Northampton, UK
Waterloo, Ontario
Sackville, New Brunswick
St. Johns, Newfoundland
Enid, Oklahoma
Boring, Oregon
Rockford, Illinois
Newark, New Jersey (the UK version also counts)
Springflake, New Jersey
Akron, Ohio (although we disagree with this one, but we've never been
there)
Oracle, Arizona
Des Moines (possibly)
New York City
Hawaii (Yes, really)
and the entire state of Pennsylvannia
Our advice - take a book.

Anniversay Message From The Founder of Project Gutenberg of Australia
***Project Gutenberg of Australia--Two Years On***
Following on the heels of the Project Gutenberg fourth of July celebrations,
August 1 is the second anniversary of Project Gutenberg of Australia.
Over here, the date commemorates "horses' birthday". I am not sure of
the significance of that fact in relation to this article though it makes
a nice lead in to mentioning that it seems only yesterday that we posted
"Animal Farm" as our first ebook.
Now we have recently posted ebook #250, "Titanic and Other Ships", the
autobiography of Charles Lightoller. As with so many books at PGofOz this
one turned up attached to an email from a volunteer, another item of
treasure to be made available. Lightoller was a survivor of the Titanic
disaster. He served as an officer on other ships and had many other
adventures. He has a particular connection to Australia, having met his
future wife here, and he was also resposible for perpetrating a prank in
Sydney, where he fired a "one gun salute" using the cannon at Fort Denison,
a small sandstone fort built on a small rock in Sydney Harbour,
not far from the Quay and the landing place of the First Fleet.
He then raised the flag of the Boers, with whom Australia was at war
at the time. It caused quite a stir, but you will need to read the ebook
to get the full story.
That incident occurred in 1900. In 2003 it would be nice for me, in
Sydney (where, David Price, it is always warm and sunny) to be able to
row or sail over to Fort Denison, pause a few minutes to take in the view
of the Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Briddge and the city skyline, and
then fire a TWO gun salute to Project Gutenberg of Australia, one report
for each year. We could raise the Project Gutenberg flag, salute the
standard of a friendly power and then give THREE cheers for all those
volunteers who have made Project Gutenberg such a force for good!

*** Requests For Assistance
Ted Garvin <garvint@yahoo.com>
Has a nice list of classic Latin eBooks that we need to find matching
paper editions for so we can do the copyright research. If you can
call your library to find out if they have any of these, then spend
a minute on each one xeroxing the title page and verso, and THEN a
minute on each chapter's first and last pages, this would be a VERY
effective way to get these into our collection. Many Thanks!!!!!!!
***
We are starting an India Team to do eBooks in:
Tamil
Sanksrit
Telugu
Hindi
Punjabi
etc.
If you know any of the languages of India, or know anyone who does,
please contact: Maitri Venkat-Ramani <maitri@vexed.org>
***
Spanish proofers needed for cookbook, and perhaps El Cid.
***
We have a request for more books by Mommsen from a reader
who is VERY happy to have those we aready provided.
[I think we have found five more volumes, are there more?]
***
Latin Is A Dying Language???
Latin Library (www.thelatinlibrary.com) died,
and was resurrected recently, bring attention
to the fact that we need to save these files,
find matching paper editions, and be sure the
files don't disappear.
If you would like to help with Latin eBooks,
please let me know.
***
Project Gutenberg DVD Needs Burners
So far we have access to only ONE DVD burner, on a laptop
belonging to a personal friend. If you have a DVD burner
or plan to get one in the next 6 months, please email me,
so we can plan how many DVD's we can make with all 10,000
Project Gutenberg eBooks on them when they are ready. We
can likely send you a box of CDs containing most of these
files early, and then a final update CD in November while
you would download the last month's/weeks' releases.
*** PROJECT GUTENBERG IS SEEKING LEGAL BEAGLES
We are seeking pro bono or very cheap legal assistance to pursue
Project Gutenberg trademark infringers and similar issues. Please
email Michael Hart <hart@pobox.com>.
[We received 3 replies from the US, 1 from Australia, but
may need more around December 10.]

*** Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 30 weeks of this year, we have produced 2128 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 2128 eBooks!!!
That's 30 WEEKS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
With 8,871 eBooks online as of July 30, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.13 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.585 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.77 when we had 5556 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~8,900 books each costing $.64 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~8,900 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 8871 eBooks in 32 Years and 00.80 Months We Averaged
270 Per Year [About how many we do per month these days!]
23 Per Month
.75 Per Day
At 2128 eBooks Done In The 210 Days Of 2003 We Averaged
10 Per Day
71 Per Week
313 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 1st was
was the first Wednesday of 2003, and thus ended the production
year of 2002 and began the production year of 2003 at noon.
This year there will be 53 Wednesdays, thus one extra week.

U.S. HOUSE REVERSES NEW MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES
The U.S. House of Representatives has voted 400 to 21 in favor of a bill
reversing a rule that would have allowed television networks to expand
their audience coverage from 35% to 45% of the country. The provision was
attached to a $37.9 billion bill funding the Commerce, Justice and State
Departments next year, and the Bush administration has threatened to veto
the annual spending bill if attempts to rescind the new media ownership
rules were included. The Federal Communications Commission's recent
relaxation of those rules has met with criticism from Democrats and
Republicans alike who argue it likely would reduce local reporting and
diversity of viewpoints, but FCC Chairman Michael Powell defended the move,
saying that it reflects the current marketplace. "We created enforceable
rules that reflect the realities of today's media marketplace. The rules
will benefit Americans by protecting localism, competition and diversity."

'SMART' PASSPORTS SET FOR 2004 DEBUT
Beginning in October 2004, the U.S. will begin issuing "smart" passports
that include an embedded microchip that stores a compressed image of its
owner's face. The new digital passports are intended to prevent tampering,
but civil liberties groups say such technology could eventually be used to
monitor the activities of citizens in unprecedented detail. However, Frank
Moss, deputy assistant secretary for Passport Services at the U.S. State
Department says such fears are unfounded: "They will include no information
other than that on the basic passport information page." Meanwhile,
European travelers may also soon be required to carry passports containing
both fingerprint and iris scan biometric information, but no date has been
set yet for the new passports' introduction. (New Scientist 23 Jul 2003)

[Apparently Some Voting Machines in Florida Had Protection Turned OFF]
SERIOUS FLAWS IN ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEMS
Johns Hopkins University experts say that high-tech voting machine software
from Diebold Election Systems has flaws that would let voters cast extra
votes and allow poll workers to alter ballots secretly. Aviel D. Rubin,
technical director of the Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins,
led a team that examined the Diebold software, which has about 33,000
voting machines operating in the United States. Adam Stubblefield, a
colleague of Rubin's, said that "practically anyone in the country -- from
a teenager on up -- could produce these smart cards that could allow
someone to vote as many times as they like." Diebold has not seen the
Institute's report and would not comment on it in detail, but a company
spokesman said: "We're constantly improving it so the technology we have 10
years from now will be better than what we have today. We're always open to
anything that can improve our systems." Peter G. Neumann, an expert in
computer security at SRI International, said the Diebold code was "just the
tip of the iceberg" of problems with electronic voting systems. [Side note:

this quarter (up 36%). Although books and other media account for more than
78% of that revenue, the company is rapidly expanding into areas far beyond
its bookseller origins, with new projects in software, searching, music,

U-TEXAS PUTS GUTENBERG BIBLE ON THE WEB
The University of Texas has digitized its entire two-volume Gutenberg Bible
and posted portions of it on its library Web site:
http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenberg/ . While other
copies of the famed Bible have also gone digital, officials at the
university's Harry Ransom Center say their copy is the best of the lot,
because it was in use in monasteries in Southern Germany as late as the
1760s, and was heavily annotated by monks who scratched out some passages
and corrected others. Other sections were highlighted for reading aloud or
for use during Mass. "Our copy is the most interesting in the world," says
head librarian Richard Oram, and Paul Needham, of Princeton University's
Scheide Library, agrees: "This is probably the most extensively annotated
and corrected copy surviving. This is a very great treasure." The
digitization project began in June 2002 and the finished product gives Web

RIAA UNLEASHES LAWYERS ON PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS
The Recording Industry Association of America is targeting parents and, in
some cases, grandparents of youthful music file-swappers, threatening them
with legal action over their offspring's music-sharing activities. The
subpoenas have come as a shock to both parents and their children, who
assumed that using cryptic nicknames such as "hottdude0587" guaranteed them
anonymity. The RIAA says it has cited the numeric Internet addresses of
high-volume music downloaders on its subpoenas and can track users only by
comparing those addresses against subscriber records held by ISPs, but the
Associated Press had no trouble using those addresses and some details
culled from the subpoenas to identify and locate some of the targets.
Outside legal experts warned that the music industry should move carefully
in selecting targets for prosecution. "If they end up picking on
individuals who are perceived to be grandmothers or junior high students
who have only downloaded in isolated incidents, they run the risk of a
backlash," says one Hollywood attorney. (AP 24 Jul 2003)

EFF SETS UP DATABASE OF RIAA SUBPOENA TARGETS
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has stepped right into the middle of the
file-swapping fray, offering potential targets of the subpoenas recently
issued by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a way to
check and see if they're on the list. "We hope that the EFF's subpoena
database will give people some peace of mind and the information they need
to challenge these subpoenas and protect their privacy," says EFF senior
counsel Fred Von Lohmann. The database allows people to check their
file-sharing "handle" (e.g., hottdude123) against a list of subpoenas
issued. If they see their name, they can access an electronic copy of the
subpoena, which includes the name of their ISP, a list of songs pirated and
the Internet address of the user. By the end of last week, nearly 900
subpoenas had been issued, with 75 additional being added every day. The
subpoenas are intended to force the ISPs to divulge the identity of the
alleged file-swappers and the RIAA is threatening lawsuits, claiming damages
ranging from $750 to $150,000. "The recording industry continues its futile
crusade to sue thousands of the more than 60 million people who use
file-sharing software in the U.S.," says Von Lohmann. The EFF has teamed
with the U.S. Internet Industry Association to set up a Web site called
subpoenadefense.org, which provides information on lawyers and other
resources for those facing legal action. (BBC News 28 Jul 2003)

NETWORK SOLUTIONS MAY BE LIABLE FOR SEX.COM SWITCH
A U.S. appellate court has ruled that Web registry Network Solutions may be
liable for damages for its part in transferring the domain name "sex.com"
from its rightful owner, Gary Kremen, to convicted forger Stephen Michael
Cohen. In his ruling, Judge Alex Kozinski said that domain names should be
treated as property, despite their virtual nature, comparing them to "a plot
of land." "Exposing Network Solutions to liability when it gives away a
registrant's domain name on the basis of a forged letter is no different
from holding a corporation liable when it gives away someone's shares under
the same circumstances. The common law does not stand idle while people give
away the property of others," wrote Kozinski, who returned the case to the
U.S. District Court in San Jose to be tried again. "This was a major
victory, no doubt about it," said Kremen, who won a $65 million judgment
against Cohen, but has been unable to collect because Cohen has fled the
country. The case, which may garner landmark status for equating domain
names with tangible property, likely will be retried within a year. (CNet

THE COSTS OF SPAM (NOT INCLUDING BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS)
Spam costs senders almost nothing, but takes a heavy toll on those who
receive it. Ferris Research says the cost of spam is $10 billion in the
U.S.; Nucleus Research pegs the figure at $87 billion. Is the problem being
overblown? Wharton School marketing professor Peter S. Fader says: "I am
deeply skeptical that these crude top-down methods are accurate. Hitting the
delete key is far more efficient than carrying your physical mail from the
mailbox over to the trash can." And he even sees an upside: "Spam, although
it is a bad thing per se, is fostering the growth of the e-mail
infrastructure." But that new infrastructure also comes with a price: Ferris
Research says corporations will spend $120 million this year on antispam
systems, and The Radicati Group claims the correct figure is closer to $635
million. Ah, what to do, what to do? America Online now discards, each day,
nearly 2 billion e-mail messages flagged as spam -- but then has to contend
with complaints [including NewsScan] about "false positives" (mail falsely
treated as spam). Ferris Research says: "We think companies lose $3 billion
dealing with false positives." (New York Times 28 Jul 2003)

[Half Of The Places I Go To Buy Videos ONLY Carry DVDs Now]
VHS MAKING THE LONG GOODBYE
DVD now accounts for 70% of the overall home video market, whereas last year
the split between DVD and VHS was 50-50. But there are still almost 50
million U.S. homes with VHS players (and without DVD players), and Fox's
Steven Feldstein says: "It's not time to play taps for VHS... It will make a
graceful exit." Others, however, think the end is near, and Columbia TriStar
president Benjamin Feingold predicts, "I suspect in a year and a half it
will be tough to find (movies on tape)." VCR sales are down 46% in the first
six months this year compared with the same period in 2002, according to the
Consumer Electronics Association. (USA Today 27 Jul 2003)

[DARPA, Didn't They Invent The Internet, And Now Deny It?]
PENTAGON'S ONLINE TRADING MARKET PLAN DRAWS FIRE
The U.S. Defense Department's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) has plans to set up an online Policy Analysis Market that will
allow traders to bet on the likelihood of future terrorist attacks and
political assassinations in the Middle East. The bizarre scheme has drawn
fire from Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.). "The idea
of a federal betting parlor on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and
it's grotesque," said Wyden, while Dorgan described the plan as "useless,
offensive and unbelievably stupid. How would you feel if you were the King
of Jordan and you learned that the U.S. Defense Department was taking bets
on your being overthrown within a year?" However, the Pentagon defended the
initiative, comparing it to commodity futures markets. "Research indicates
that markets are extremely efficient, effective and timely aggregators of
dispersed and even hidden information. Futures markets have proven
themselves to be good at predicting such things as election results; they
are often better than expert opinions." The market would allow traders to
deposit money in an account and then use it to buy and sell contracts. If a
particular event comes to pass, the bettors who wagered correctly would win
the money of those who guessed wrong. (BBC News 29 Jul 2003)

E-MAIL DOWNTIME MORE STRESSFUL THAN DIVORCE?
A study sponsored by data-storage firm Veritas Software found that for 34%
of chief information officers and IT managers, a weeklong failure of the
corporate e-mail system would be more traumatic than a minor car accident,
moving to a new home, or getting married or divorced. Smooth-running e-mail
systems are essential to the enterprise, and 68% of the companies polled
reported workers becoming irate within as little as 30 minutes after an
e-mail system goes down. In the case of a failure lasting as long as 24
hours, one fifth of IT managers said their jobs would be on the line at
that point. "E-mail has become far more than a communication tool, placing
a huge responsibility on organizations to ensure that e-mail is always
available," says Mark Bregman, Veritas' executive VP for product
operations. "When IT managers fail to keep the systems running, they
inhibit the ability of the entire organization to conduct business." (CNet

[Does Anyone Have The URL For This Search Engine?]
MIT DEVELOPING SEARCH ENGINE FOR GLOBAL POOR
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) argue
that existing Web technologies cater to "Western" users, who are
"cash-rich but time-poor." Users in poor countries, they say, where
phone lines can be hard to come by and many Internet connections are
extremely slow, are in a very different boat: little money but lots of
time. To address this gap, researchers are developing a search engine
that sends requests by e-mail to MIT, where computers perform searches
and return e-mail lists of filtered results the next day. The premise
of the system, according to MIT's Saman Amarasinghe, is that
"developing countries are willing to pay in time for knowledge."
Because those who could benefit from the search engine have only very
slow Internet connections, the software is being distributed on CDs to
users in developing countries.

DHS [Department of Homeland Security] TO FUND UNIVERSITY SECURITY CENTERS
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued new guidelines for
funding homeland security centers at universities. For the 2004 fiscal
year, the House of Representatives and the Senate proposed spending a
combined $90 million on the centers and related fellowships. The new
guidelines redress what many university officials perceived as a bias
favoring Texas A&M University at College Station. According to Jennifer
Poulakidas of the University of California system, "It's a pretty wide
open competition." The Oak Ridge Associated Universities, a consortium
of research universities, will conduct analyses and make
recommendations to the DHS. The first grant for a center to focus on
economic strategies to cope with terrorism will be awarded in November,
with plans to establish nine additional centers by the end of 2004.

RIAA SUBPOENAS GRANDPARENTS, ROOMMATES
Subpoenas recently sent by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA)
have cut a wide swath, targeting roommates and relatives in an effort
to stop illegal file sharing. Those engaged in file-sharing who thought
their identities were masked behind a user name are finding that the
RIAA can track down the computers they are using. Roommates, parents,
or other relatives who might have been oblivious to the fact that their
computers were being used for illegal file trading are now receiving
subpoenas to halt such use. Gordon Pate, who received a supboena on his
daughter's behalf, said, "There's no way either us or our daughter
would do anything we knew to be illegal. I don't think anybody knew
this was illegal, just a way to get some music." Christopher Caldwell,
a lawyer for the Motion Picture Association of America, thinks the
RIAA's strategy might backfire. He said, "If they end up picking on
individuals who are perceived to be grandmothers or junior high
students who have only downloaded in isolated incidents, they run the
risk of a backlash."

RIAA, HIGHER EDUCATION SEEK PIRACY SOLUTIONS
Higher education and music and movie industry officials are
collaborating to find viable solutions to the problem of peer-to-peer
(P2P) copyright infringement on campuses, amid stepped-up legal action
from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to prosecute
individual students for illegal file sharing. The Joint Committee of
the Higher Education and Entertainment Communities Technology Task
Force, headed by Penn State President Graham Spanier and RIAA President
Cary Sherman, is exploring new technologies that would prohibit illegal
file-sharing and promote legitimate online music and movie services for
campuses. The committee has solicited input from businesses and has
documented technical information and business models to help
institutions evaluate available options and future participation.
EDUCAUSE Vice President Mark Luker said, "We would really like to
stimulate thinking about new business models, so the music industry can
provide services to a campus in a way that will succeed."

[Too Much Power in Washington, DC ???]
BOSTON COLLEGE, MIT FIGHT RIAA SUBPOENAS
Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have
filed legal objections to subpoenas from the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA). The two institutions argue that civil
law procedures require subpoenas to be filed in a court within 100
miles of those being served with the subpoenas. In this case, RIAA
subpoenas sent to the institutions were issued by a Washington, D.C.,
court. Boston College and MIT also argue that the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) guarantees them sufficient time to
notify the affected students that someone has requested disclosure of
information about them. The points at issue are purely procedural,
however, because the motions filed by the two institutions indicate
their agreement with the RIAA's right to the requested information.
The RIAA nonetheless disputed the motions, saying the subpoenas can be
issued from any federal court and that FERPA "could not trump the
university's obligation to respond to a DMCA subpoena." A spokeswoman
for DePaul University, which was also served with an RIAA subpoena,
said several people had access to the computer in question, and the
university, therefore, is unable to answer the subpoena.

CAN MOVIE STUDIOS CURB PIRACY WITH COURTESY?
The movie industry has launched a campaign that adopts a friendly tone
to discourage people from downloading pirated copies of films from the
Internet. Industry officials hope that, in addition to an educational
Web site, television and in-theater ads will appeal to people's
sympathy for how piracy affects the livelihood of the average person by
featuring the likes of industry makeup artists and set painters. A
"Digital Citizenship" Junior Achievement program will educate students
about the history and implications of copyright infringement and
encourage them to spread the word to peers that it's both wrong and
illegal. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has yet to
encounter the piracy problems the recording industry has, mostly
because the technology cannot yet support making decent copies of
movies, and is considering proactive strategies such as making films
available online through legitimate services. Fred von Lohmann of the
Electronic Frontier Foundation said that while consumers may not be
ready to get their movies from the Internet, "when they are, the answer
will be to offer them a compelling legitimate alternative, not telling
them to behave themselves."
PC-BASED BUYMUSIC OFFERS LOW RATES
Recently launched BuyMusic.com, a PC-based Internet music download
site, offers more than 300,000 songs from five major recording labels
for as little as 79 cents per song and $7.95 for a full album. Whereas
other PC-based online music services such as Rhapsody require users to
pay a monthly access fee, BuyMusic is based on the Apple iTunes
pay-as-you-go model. Although the service offers more and cheaper songs
than does iTunes, it doesn't offer the same song portability due to
licensing restrictions and the Windows Media format. Because BuyMusic
CEO Scott Blum wasn't able to strike the same uniform licensing deals
with recording companies and artists as Apple's Steve Jobs, there are
different restrictions on how frequently songs may be burned onto CDs
or copied to other PCs or portable devices. All songs can be burned
onto CDs at least once. BuyMusic's entry into the online music market
is expected to prompt digital music retailers to renegotiate more
lenient terms with the record companies.
