1) Editorial
Hello,
Working in Project Gutenberg sometimes feels like waiting for
something really special, you wait for what seems like forever and
then suddenly it appears right in front of you. Sometimes that 10,000
we are working towards feels like it's never going to get here, and
then here we are today discussing what to put out for 8500! To quote
an old song 'Watch those digit counters fall!'
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ 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
You'll hear back within a few days.

3) News
Radio Gutenberg
www.etc-edu.com
This month, we inaugurate our DJ book showings. Each evening at 6 PM, US/CST,
a different DJ will introduce you to a work in the Gutenberg Collection. Each
week, a new book is offered, and the books belonging to a given month share
some common basis in the mind and heart of that DJ.
All week on Channel 2, Balzac "The Succubus".
Channel One by Day, first week in June, 2003 :
M Da Cook brings you "Treasure Island".
T Mozart helps Sammy find Coral Land.
W Bugsy treats us all to a live reading of Ring Lardner's "The Real Dope",
with music written then, and some performances from those days.
T Trout looks into H. G. Wells's "The Invisible Man".
F The Fishburn Files features "Through Space to Mars".
S Bugsy returns for more of "The Real Dope".
S The Fishburne Files returns for adventures on Mars.
Check back next week for new listings.
You can see their reasoning and emotion in the monologues offered up by Bugsy,
the Fishburne agency, Mozart, Da Cook and your humble writer here, a trout by
Kilgore, or any other name.
This first week, we offer you adventure by way of the classic "Treasure
Island" and "Through Space to Mars", pathos in "The Succubus" and
entertainment and instruction in "The Jungle Book".
The synth voice processing used to create these books now understands the
shape of a sentence, clearly separates the characters in dialog, and in some
small way imparts the sense of the speaker's heart, by the character of the
voice used.
In difficult stories, stories with a sensibility of cultures neither American
nor British, the readings demonstrate a precision in pronuncation few living
readers could aspire to. Balzac's "The Succubus" demonstrates this
in considerable degree.
Over the coming weeks, these virtual actors on an audible stage will grope
toward a more refined shaping of a work's meaning, its social intent, with an
intent of perfecting clarity in the search for a natural presentation. Our
first step is to make the engine aware of the material being read to the
extent that at any point, it comprehends the word at it is spoken, in the
context of the word it follows, as well as the import of the word that
follows.
We are taking this step in the tradition of great human actors of stage and
screen, who, regardless what they say, focus effort on the words, just as
they begin to travel about a theater, or your living room. Success in this
attempt ensures a long-lived tool, that will proper from the efforts of its
users, rewarding with improved results from every effort, because success
will circumscribe the growth of any supporting database, and ensure every
task is completed with the bulk of the effort being poured into the end
product, and not the procedures and customs that tend to grow about support
functions.
And at the same time, with a single throw, we hope to be ensuring the
permanent existence of a library at Gutenberg that can lift new citizens, and
those in difficulty, to an easy and care-free indulgence in the works of our
history, minds and hearts.
Enjoy, download, copy and hand them to everyone you meet.
Look live books, both on the page and in the ear, as in our hearts.

Post Production People Wanted
Well, technically this is a request for help and not news, but I'm in
charge and this is very important so there! Anyway, as you may have
read in part 1, PG needs an average of one more book per day to be
assembled and posted so we really need another PPP (Post production
person - pay attention at the back!). Please, please, please if this is
something you think you can help with get in touch and we will help
you get started.
We thank you.

Hello,
Lots happening here this week. If you are new to Project Gutenberg
through the appearances Michael Hart has made in the media this past
week, then I extend a warm welcome to you.
Happy reading,
Alice

============= [ 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
You'll hear back within a few days.

2) News
Radio Gutenberg
http://www.etc-edu.com
May 24, 2003
Third Week in May "Memorial Weekend" broadcast.
On the technical front, we are pleased to announce the first Gutenberg
Audio Book to feature "Dialog Management", a scripting feature that
automatically recognizes dialog passages in a book, and shifts to a
different audio context, just as live readers do when action takes
place. This is the first step in automatically generating unique
character voices for a work, a feat we expect to accomplish this very summer.
Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan" is the vehicle for our first offering
that uses this exciting new form of TTS automation.
Now that we have introduced a synth voice reader that can beat the
average volunteer reader 9 times out of 10 for consistency, clarity
and plain ole excitement (yep, that was a challenge to anyone one
there that thinks he can do better ...), we wanted to put a live
benchmark out there that highlights the virtues of a good live reading.
For that task, Bugsy makes a new reading of Ring Lardner's "The Real
Dope", a comedy classic of World War I, and a big favorite of American
Doug-boys in France. Now Bugsy is a real actor, so we don't want to
pit synth against him! His reading illuminates the good will and hope
in the hearts of all the men who went to save France in her hour of need.
His letters to Al are as fresh as the morning dew, bringing his
character to life -- I can smell his cigarette!
So here it is, Tarzan - an adventure classic - done better than you
(or your screen reader) can manage for yourself, courtesy of
"Dr. Kula", and "The Real Dope" the way you wish you could do it.
Enjoy!

"American Antiquities" series:
Memorial Day in the US seemed a good time to start posting this series
of illustrated html files.
The exhaustive title page goes on: "With a Variety of Reliques,
Antiquities and Modern Autographs(1861)".
There will be fourteen more eBooks of these "American Antiquities"
to follow in the next weeks. Many of the large images require use
of the "Full Size" button under each image to appreciate detail.
Anyone with a bit of time to explore old American history might
download the following volume (Plate 46 in this Vol. 7 will
tear your heart out):

For this project we took advantage of Internet Archive's kind offer
of their orbital scanner as many of the images are well beyond the
size of an ordinary flatbed. The 14"x19" books were surface mailed
from New York to California to Geof Pawlicki who scanned the double
page images.

--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not updated instantly, as additional research may need to be done by our professional Chief Cataloguer, so for those who wish to obtain these new ebooks, please refer to the following section.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS: A PAGE A DAY OR MORE IS ALL IT TAKES
If you haven't already, please visit the Project
Gutenberg Distributed Proofreading (DP) project:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp
By spending a few minutes per page, you can help
Project Gutenberg to reach our goal of 10,000 eBooks
by the end of 2003. Proofreading is easy and fun,
and there are easy books for newcomers to select from.
Distributed Proofreading is seeking post-processing
people, too. After you have completed a number of
pages, you can start doing final assembly on eBooks.
There are hundreds of eBooks ready for post-processing,
and you could help to get them added to the Project
Gutenberg collection!
Got books suitable for destructive scanning (where the
binding is chopped off so the pages may be fed to an
automatic scanner)? Check whether they're already in
the collection, and if not send them to our scanner
site:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
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. The
In Progress list includes eBooks that are not yet completed:

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
We need a volunteer near Chicago to help feed books to our newest
super-scanner. . .we have a stack of 200 waiting, and just cannot
stay awake to feed them in 24/7.
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 scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
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. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

Statistical Review
In the 21 weeks of this year, we have produced 1332 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1332 eBooks!!!
That's 21 WEEKS as Compared to 27 YEARS!!!
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.
With 8,075 eBooks online as of May 21, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.24 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 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.90 when we had 5266 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing $.66 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

[Editor's Comments In Brackets]
From Newsscan
UNLIMITED CALLING PLANS ARE THE NEW STANDARD
Leading phone companies AT&T, BellSouth, Qwest, SBC, and Verizon are all
now offering programs that allow their customers in some states to make
unlimited local and national calls at one flat rate, typically for about
$50-60 a month with voicemail and caller ID bundled in. How did this come
about? AT&T spokeswoman Eileen Connolly explains: "It^Rs human nature.
People have less desire to move away from you if you have all their
business." The trend started with wireless plans, which were the first to
"tear down the thinking of distance-depending thinking," in the words of
Forrester researcher Charles Golvin. Will the switch to these new plans
cause consumers to use more and more telecommunications services? Yes, says
market researcher Berge Ayvazian of The Yankee Group: "Usage more than
doubles on unlimited wireless-calling plans, and if broadband is always on,
the Internet is always in use." (New York Times 23 May 2003)

70 PLAYSTATION 2s + 1 NETWORK SWITCH + LINUX = 1 SUPERCOMPUTER
An increasing trend in computing is the development of ever-faster
computers for the consumer market: Dan Reed of the National Center for
Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois says, "If
you look at the economics of game platforms and the power of computing on
toys, this is a long-term market trend and computing trend. The economics
are just amazing. This is going to drive the next big wave in high-
performance computing." The NCSA has used the Linux operating system and a
Hewlett-Packard network switch to tie together 70 individual game machines
into a single supercomputing system capable of a half-trillion operations
a second. Total cost: about $50,000. Most difficult part of the project:
"It took a lot of time because you have to cut all of these things out of
the plastic packaging," said NCSA senior research scientist Craig Steffen.

EBAY LOSES PATENT-INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT
A federal jury in Virginia has concluded that online auction eBay and its
Half.com unit intentionally infringed on patents belonging to MercExchange.
MercExchange is also seeking an injunction prohibiting eBay from continuing
its current "Buy it now" program, which allows eBay customers to make
fixed-priced purchases rather than participating in auctions. EBay is
asking the judge to reverse the $35-million judgment against it, whereas
MercExchange is saying that the judgment should be tripled, because the
jury's verdict was that the patent infringement was deliberate rather than
accidental. (Bloomberg/New York Times 28 May 2003)

REALNETWORKS ROLLS OUT 79 CENT MUSIC DOWNLOADS
Spurred on by the overnight success of Apple's iTunes Music Store,
RealNetworks has revamped its own online music service to offer single
downloads for 79 cents a track. "We want to draft off the attention they've
gotten before they come out with a Windows service," says RealNetworks
marketing VP Dan Sheeran, referring to Apple's current concentration on the
Macintosh market. RealNetworks' new offering is based on the Rhapsody
service from Listen.com, which RealNetworks agreed to acquire last month.
The company also owns a 40% share of MusicNet, the online music venture it
launched with EMI Group and AOL Time Warner, but has said it will no longer
promote that service and instead will be competing vigorously for MusicNet
customers. (Wall Street Journal 28 May 2003)

GERMAN SOFTWARE GROUP THREATENS SCO OVER LINUX
German software alliance Linuxtag, which backs the Linux operating system,
has issued an ultimatum to SCO Group: prove your claims that Linux
infringes on your Unix technology patents by May 30 or we'll see you in
court. "SCO is massively unsettling our members and the companies that are
potential exhibitors at the fair with those claims," says a Linuxtag
spokesman. "It they don't stop that, or present proof for the intellectual
property rights they are claiming, we are going to apply for a preliminary
injunction at the court on Friday." SCO's German unit says it's received
Linuxtag's motion and is considering whether to respond before SCO's case
against IBM, a major Linux promoter, goes to court. Some of Germany's
largest companies, including Siemens AG, the Deutsche Bundesbahn and
Volkswagen, have received letter from SCO notifying them their use of Linux
may be in violation of its rights. (Reuters 28 May 2003)

THE NEED FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO FIGHT SPAM
The president of Brightmail (a company that helps Internet providers block
spam) predicts that by the end of this year half of all e-mail will be spam
messages, and says that spam costs U.S. businesses $10 billion a year in
lost productivity. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates has called for
international organizations to join the anti-spam effort, and Sen. Charles
Schumer (D,NY) says: "As soon as we tighten up our laws here and institute
vigorous enforcement, those who want to violate our laws move abroad. A
global agreement will ensure that anti-spam standards protecting American
computers are enforceable both here and abroad." (AP/San Jose Mercury News

STUDY SHOWS SPAM PAYS
While the battle against spam intensifies, the Direct Marketing Association
has just released figures showing that commercial e-mail advertisements
generated more than $7 billion in sales last year. The DMA's study is
intended to bolster its claim that commercial e-mail plays a significant
role in the U.S. economy. According to the report, about 36% of e-mail
users, or 21% of all adult Americans, have purchased a product or service
as the result of receiving commercial e-mail over the past year, with
purchases valued at an average of $168. About 9% of these e-mail users said
they made their purchases as the result of unsolicited commercial e-mail.

BERNERS-LEE SAYS NEW POLICY WILL KEEP THE WEB FREE
Touting the recently announced W3C Patent Policy, Web creator Tim
Berners-Lee told participants at the 12th International World Wide Web
Conference that in order for the Web to flourish, it must remain open,
nonproprietary, innovative, free and inclusive. The W3C Patent Policy,
which is aimed at reducing the threat of patents blocking future Web
infrastructure developments, is designed to discourage revenue-generating
strategies that "work by forcing standards-compliant applications to pay
licensing fees." While the policy necessarily involved choices that could be
perceived as threatening certain business models, I believe that this
policy is the right one, from a revenue perspective, for all who seek to
contribute to the development of the Web and who ultimately seek to profit
from its growth. However, it does not preclude licensing activity for all
technologies on the Web. Indeed, by supporting the continued growth of the
underlying Web infrastructure and by growing the overall market for the
Web, this policy increases the opportunity for financial gain (including
patent licenses) on applications that depend upon the Web."

EX-STUDENT FINED MORE THAN $500,000 FOR STOCK FRAUD ON NET
Former UCLA student Refael Shaoulian has been ordered by a federal judge to
pay $534,000 in fines for using university computers and false identities
to post intentionally incorrect about stocks so that he could profit from
the buying and selling sprees he caused. The civil suit was brought by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. (APOnline/USA Today 22 May 2003)

CALIFORNIA LAWMAKERS PUSH FOR STRICTER LIMITS ON SPAM
The California State Senate this week approved legislation that would
create an "opt-in" requirement for e-mail marketers. If passed, the law
would require an e-mail marketer to obtain approval to send promotional
messages unless it already has a relationship with the recipient. The
state currently has an "opt-out" law on the books, which requires
e-mailers to stop sending messages if users so request. The current law
also requires that "ADV" be included in the subject line for
promotional e-mails. State Sen. Debra Bowen, who had introduced the
existing law, said she proposed the opt-in bill because the opt-out
bill has done little to stem the onslaught of spam. The opt-in measure,
which now goes to the California Assembly, carries a per-message fine
of $500, which can be tripled by a judge if the action is deemed to be
in willful and knowing violation of the law.

PENTAGON TRIES TO CALM FEARS ABOUT DATA-MINING PROGRAM
This week the Pentagon continued recent efforts to address negative
public reaction to its data-mining project. The Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency, which oversees the project, submitted a
report to Congress about some of the details of the project, which the
report said remains in very early stages of development. According to
the report, "safeguarding the privacy and civil liberties of Americans
is a bedrock principle." The report also pointed out that the
project's name has been changed from Total Information Awareness to
Terrorism Information Awareness. Opponents generally were not swayed by
the report. Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, "After
more than a hundred pages, you don't know anything more about whether
TIA will work or whether your civil liberties will be safe against it."
Lori Waters of the Eagle Forum, a conservative political organization,
said the TIA is based on the idea that "anybody is guilty until proven
innocent in America."

[Doesn't Play Well With Others]
DHS STILL NOT SHARING WELL
Tom Ridge, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), told
Congress this week that the agency continues to have difficulty
exchanging information with other agencies. After the September 11
attacks, questions were raised about why the CIA did not share its
watch list, which included two of the hijackers, and why a report from
an FBI field agent about non-citizens taking flying lessons was also
not shared. Ridge told members of the House Select Committee on
Homeland Security that DHS has not worked out technical issues for
sharing information or resolved who should be on a watch list. Rep. Jim
Turner (D-Tex.) had harsh words for Ridge and DHS's performance so
far. Turner said DHS was created to "connect the dots" of intelligence
but that he was unconvinced that the department was effectively doing this.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT FOR VERIZON
In its ongoing struggle to protect the identity of some of its users,
Verizon Communications has won support from academic-library and other
academic groups. The Recording Industry Association of America has
subpoenaed Verizon to reveal the identities of suspected music pirates,
citing a provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Many in the
academic community worry about the repercussions if the subpoena is
upheld. If it is, they fear the recording industry could make similar
demands for the identities of students thought to be using campus
networks for illegally trading files. Supporters of Verizon in the case
object to the fact that the law allows subpoenas to be issued without
judicial review and without proof that the individual being sought is
guilty of the allegation.

WEB GROUP ACCEPTS PATENT POLICY
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has finally accepted a policy for
the contentious issue of patents and royalties for them. The W3C has
long maintained that its development of Web standards and
recommendations should not include royalty payments for patented
components of those standards. Under the terms of the new policy, those
involved in developing standards must disclose information about
possible patents included, and those who review recommendation drafts
must be similarly forthcoming. The policy does include a provision,
however, to include patented content in Web standards in special
circumstances. The new policy, according to W3C Director Tim
Berners-Lee, gives the group a clear road "to successfully develop
royalty-free Web standards in the current patent environment."

Statistical Review
In the 20 weeks of this year, we have produced 1278 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1278 eBooks!!!
That's 20 WEEKS as Compared to 27 YEARS!!!
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.
With 8,021 eBooks online as of May 21, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.25 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 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.91 when we had 5236 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing $.66 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

INTERNET FILTERING BILL STALLED
An attempt in Oregon to require libraries to install filtering software to
protect children from explicit content on the Internet has stalled in
committee. Defending the bill against charges that it violates
Constitutional protections for freedom of speech, attorney James
Leuenberger argues: "The government clearly can decide on limits of what it
can or cannot say. To the extent the library wants to accept funding from
the state, the state should have the ability to tell the library what it
should or should not express." Connie Bennett, president of the Oregon
Library Association and director of the Eugene Public Library, says the
bill is "an unfunded mandate." (AP/USA Today 21 May 2003)

W3C ADOPTS POLICY ON PATENTS
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has approved a policy on patents that
requires all those who participate in the development of a W3C
recommendation must license essential claims on a royalty-free basis. It
also requires W3C members to make disclosures on patents they own and
requests that anyone else who sees technical drafts share their knowledge
of patents which may be essential. At the same time, the policy suggests a
process for handling unexpected patent claims that are inconsistent with
the terms of the W3C Patent Policy. In that instance, the W3C will convene
a Patent Advisory Group, which may then recommend: a legal analysis of the
patent, the removal of the patented feature, or cessation of work in that
area altogether. The W3C's efforts to create a patent policy have been
contentious since it first released its Patent Policy Framework Draft in
2001, says Daniel Weitzner, chair of the Patent Policy Working Group, who
cautioned technology companies against trying to exploit the patent
exception process. "Anyone who thinks that's going to be an easy way to
squeeze fees out of Web standards I think is mistaken," says Weitzner.

PRIVACY ADVOCATES DOUBT PENTAGON PROMISES ON SPYING
The Pentagon has changed the name of its planned anti-terrorist
surveillance systems, but critics say the fundamental program remains the
same and would risk violating citizens' privacy if fully implemented. Now
renamed the Terrorist Information Awareness program (from Total Information
Awareness), the system would broaden government surveillance activities to
encompass passport applications, visas, work permits, driver's licenses,
car rentals and airline ticket purchases as well as databases including
vast amounts of personal information, such as financial, education, medical
and housing and identification records. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a major
opponent of the TIA, says, "What most Americans don't know is that the laws
that protect consumer privacy don't apply when the data gets into
government's hands. Lawfully collected information can include anything,
medical records, travel, credit card and financial data." Testing of the
system is already underway, raising privacy advocates' concerns about
"false positives" based on erroneous data. "If TIA is relying on personal
information contained in databases to determine whether someone is a
suspect, what recourse does that person have whose information has been
entered incorrectly?" says a spokeswoman for the Free Congress Foundation,
which estimates that an error rate as small as .10% could result in more
than 30,000 Americans wrongly being investigated as terrorists.

NEW YORK AUTHORITIES ARREST BUFFALO SPAMMER
Authorities in New York have arrested Howard Carmack, the so-called
"Buffalo Spammer," on charges of identity theft in connection to a spam
ring Carmack operated. Last week EarthLink won a $16 million judgment
against Carmack as well as an injunction preventing him from sending
further spam. Carmack is accused of stealing identities and setting up
nearly 350 EarthLink accounts, from which he sent or helped other send
hundreds of millions of unsolicited messages. New York Attorney General
Eliot Spitzer said Carmack is the first to be prosecuted under the
state's recently enacted identity-theft law. Dave Baker of EarthLink
said, "Carmack's arrest demonstrates that spamming has both civil and
criminal consequences."

'BUFFALO SPAMMER' COULD GET UP TO SEVEN YEARS
Howard Carmack, the so-called "Buffalo Spammer," has become the first
person in New York state to be charged under the state's identity theft
laws. If convicted, he could be sentenced to 2-1/2 to 7 years in prison for
identity theft, forgery, criminal possession of forgery devices (in the
form of software used to create phony return addresses), and falsifying
business records. According to the indictment, Carmack "stole the
identities of innocent New Yorkers to spam millions of consumers throughout
New York and the nation." He is charged with using 343 stolen identities to
send his unsolicited bulk mailings through Earthlink accounts. An Earthlink
executive said the main impact of the arrest would be to demonstrate to
others the "very high cost of doing business" in spam.

RIAA SENDS AN APOLOGY TO PENN STATE
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) apologized this
week for a copyright warning notice that it sent in error to the
department of astronomy and astrophysics at Pennsylvania State
University. The RIAA uses automated programs to locate servers that are
distributing copyrighted files, which reported that one of the
department's servers was distributing files by the band Usher. The
server in question contained no such files, but the department has a
professor emeritus named Peter Usher. This, combined with the presence
of an MP3 file of a group of astronomers singing about a satellite, set
of the RIAA's crawler. According to the RIAA, all notices are checked
before they are sent out, but this one was not properly reviewed and
was sent in error. A statement from the RIAA said, "In this particular
instance, a temp employee made a mistake and did not follow RIAA's
established protocol." The RIAA also said that of the tens of thousands
of notices sent out, this was the first faulty notice discovered.

TEXAS EXPECTED TO ESTABLISH ONLINE CHARTER SCHOOL
The Texas Legislature will likely pass a bill to create a virtual
charter school to offer online courses to primary and secondary
students. The Texas Legislature, however, is currently deadlocked due
to partisan rivalry and a resulting lack of quorum. The proposed school
would be run by two state universities, which have yet to be selected.
Republican State Senator Florence Shapiro sponsored the legislation to
"provide flexibility and the use of available technology and online
resources to meet students' individual needs." A similar bill was
rejected due to concerns over the program's potential cost with
unlimited enrollment. The bill proposes a 2,000 student cap and will
cost roughly $9 million over two years. The state government created a
similar program two years ago that is administered by school districts
and enrolls 450 students. The University of Texas, which already runs a
virtual charter school without state assistance, would like to
participate in the state-run program to increase students' options,
according to Robert Bruce at the Austin campus's Distance Education Center.

13 STATES SUE OVER POP-UP ADS
Thirteen states have sued a New Jersey company that allegedly billed
Internet users who tried to close pop-up windows advertising p*rnographic
Web sites. The lawsuit maintains that Alyon Technologies automatically
connected users to its toll telephone number when they tried to close the
ads, and then charged them $5 a minute, resulting in bills ranging from $14
to more than $1,000. "The way this organization has allegedly been doing
business is illegal, irresponsible and an outrageous misuse of Internet
technology," said Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager. Joining
Wisconsin in the suit are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois,
Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, Nebraska, Texas and
West Virginia. (AP 16 May 2003)

U.S. CRACKS DOWN ON INTERNET FRAUD
The Justice Department has charged more than 130 people with perpetrating a
variety of Internet scams, as well as identity theft and failure to deliver
goods purchased online. The crackdown, dubbed Operation E-Con, involved
more than 90 investigations involving 89,000 victims whose losses totaled
at least $176 million. In one case, the suspects used a Web site to sell
more than $2 million worth of pharmaceutical drugs without any
prescriptions or physician involvement with the purchasers. In another
scam, about 400 men lost about $3,000 each when they sent money off in the
hope of winning the hand a Russian bride. Other scams promoted fraudulent
investment opportunities, Ponzi-type pyramid schemes and the illegal sale
of copyright-protected software, games and movies. Officials say they've
managed to recover about $17 million from alleged perpetrators.

MICROSOFT DISCOUNTS COULD RAISE EYEBROWS AT EU
Microsoft is offering hefty discounts on its products in an apparent effort
to undercut the cost advantage of Linux -- behavior that one European
antitrust lawyer says appears to violate European law. "If it's true, the
discounts would constitute an abuse," said competition law attorney Thomas
Vinje. Microsoft is under investigation by European regulators for possibly
abusing its dominance in the software market. The company said it had set
aside two funds as part of its strategy to combat Linux. One is set aside
for providing discounts to governments and the education sector, and the
other is earmarked for enabling the sales force to undersell competitors
peddling Linux software. "The primary objective is to make technology
available to customers at low prices," says a Microsoft spokesman.

VIDEOGAMES GO FROM WAR ROOM TO LIVING ROOM
The U.S. Army has been using videogames as part of its recruiting efforts
for the past year, but in coming months it will rely on a combat simulation
game to train squad leaders in real-life combat tactics. The game,
developed by Pandemic Studios, features lead characters heading up two
light infantry teams locked in a running firefight in a city that looks
vaguely Middle Eastern. Bad guys pop out from behind walls and zoom up in
pickup trucks outfitted with automatic weapons. "If you enroll in the army
of the future, you'll get your helmet, your gun and one of these discs,"
says a Pandemic game designer. "You have an Xbox -- they assume -- at
home." And for game enthusiasts not inclined to sign on the dotted line,
the commercial version of "Full Spectrum Warrior" is expected to be
available in early 2004 for the Xbox console. (Reuters 15 May 2003)

MICROSOFT SCOOPS UP UNIX LICENSE FROM SCO
Microsoft is buying the rights to SCO Group's Unix technology for an
undisclosed amount, in a move that will bolster SCO's controversial
campaign to demand royalties from users of the Linux operating software,
which SCO claims infringes on its Unix patents. Linux supporters have
demanded that SCO identify which parts of the code are duplicative, but SCO
says that doing that would allow programmers to cover up their
transgressions by rewriting the software. "That's like saying, 'show us the
fingerprints on the gun so you can rub them off,'" says SCO CEO Darl
McBride. Microsoft, which competes fiercely with both Linux and Unix, at
the same time has been a long-time backer of SCO and some in the Linux
community have speculated the software giant is secretly bankrolling SCO's
litigation to reduce the Linux threat. A Microsoft spokeswoman denied that
rumor. (Wall Street Journal 19 May 2003)

GROWTH IN RESIDENTIAL BROADBAND LEVELING OFF
The percentage of experienced Internet users who said they wish to upgrade
from dialup to broadband connections declined this year -- 43% compared to
53% last year -- in a development that signals the stabilization of the
residential broadband market. Pew Internet and American Life Project
director Lee Rainie said of the study's results: "The overall Internet
population has stopped growing in the United States. If there is no net
growth, you eventually run out of veteran users who have spent a couple of
years in dialup mode and want to move to broadband." The study also found a
slight shift among broadband users toward favoring cable modem connections.
In March, 67% connected via cable, compared with 63% a year earlier. In
contrast, 28% reported connecting via DSL, down from 34% the year before.
Although the percentage of DSL users dropped, overall growth is still up --
9 million users in March, up from 7 million. That compares with 21 million
cable modem users. Almost a third of Internet users now have broadband
connections -- up from 21% last March. (AP 19 May 2003)

ARBITRATION PLAINTIFF CAN NOW TELL DEFENDANT: 'SHOW ME THE E-MAIL'
Federal District Court Judge Shira A. Scheindlin has ruled that UBS Warburg
must search its archives and restore a number of e-mail messages the
company removed from its system after a former employee filed a suit
against the company for sexual discrimination and retaliatory dismissal.
The ruling sets a precedent that investment banks must pay for the
restoration of e-mail evidence if plaintiffs can show that it's relevant to
their cases. Arbitration lawyer Jacob H. Zamansky says, "The decision is
very significant and will help customers get crucial evidence for their
cases. As long as you can make a showing that the evidence you are asking
for is relevant, the banks must bear the cost for searching through the
e-mails." Up until now, investment banks have argued that the technical
difficulties (as well as the costs) involved in retrieving old e-mail
messages is prohibitive, and therefore a sufficient reason to dismiss
arbitration claims. (New York Times 17 May 2003)

[Up To A Million "Wiretaps" Per Year in the UK Alone???]
[Up To A Billion "Factoids" "Tapped" Per Year in the UK Alone?]
BRITISH DEBATE INTERNET SNOOPING
British privacy experts this week presented their estimates that
authorities in the United Kingdom make roughly one million requests
each year for data on Internet and phone usage, totaling perhaps one
billion individual pieces of information. The numbers were presented at
a public debate regarding proposals to expand governmental authority to
access such records. According to privacy experts, requests are made
for e-mail logs, personal information about customers, and telephone
billing data, including numbers called. Parliament has passed a
controversial act, the Regulatory of Investigatory Powers Act, which
collects all data-access rights under one piece of legislation. The
Home Office is currently investigating how to implement many of the
provisions of the act and is working with companies to reach agreement
on such issues as how long companies are required to preserve data. A
spokesman for the Home Office rejected the estimates of a million
information requests each year, saying the number is perhaps half that.

[Then Why Do the Universities Claim Copyright for
Files They Make From Public Domain Books???????]
[Could There Be A Double Standard?]
STUDENTS OBJECT TO ONLINE POSTING OF DISSERTATIONS
Some students and faculty at Ohio State University are objecting to a
policy that requires doctoral dissertations to be submitted
electronically and posted online. Opponents of the policy, many of whom
are in the English and history departments, argue that work posted
online is less likely to be accepted for publication later. Concerns
have also been raised over copyright issues for dissertations and the
perception of increased risk of plagiarism of the online dissertations.
University administrators said the policy reflects the institution's
responsibility for ensuring that academic work is "available to the
community at large." William A. T. Clark, associate dean of the
Graduate School, tried to allay plagiarism concerns by noting that
increased access to the dissertations may actually decrease plagiarism
because it is more likely to be detected. Students can apply for a one-
to three-year delay in the posting of their dissertations. Clark said,
however, that eventually all dissertations will be posted online
because the university has the right to do so.

STUDY PREDICTS SLOWING ADOPTION OF BROADBAND
A new study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project predicts
that, despite strong growth in recent years in the broadband market,
many users satisfied with current access will not upgrade to
broadband. An estimated 31 million U.S. households have high-speed
access, up 50 percent from a year ago, and a number of companies are
trying various approaches to encourage consumers to continue moving up
to broadband at a similar rate. The new study, however, indicates that
a large percentage of dial-up users are content to continue with their
existing service. Pew analyst John B. Horrigan said the good news is
that 13 percent of current dial-up users are ready to upgrade, but, he
said, the bad news is that "the pool of dial-up users most primed to
migrate to broadband ... is shrinking."

CHINESE MAN SENTENCED FOR ONLINE POSTINGS
Huang Qi has been sentenced by Chinese officials to five years in
prison for allowing users of his Web site to post articles about the
1989 Tiananmen Square demonstrations in which demonstrators were killed
by the Chinese army. Huang did not write any of the articles. He began
the Web site as a clearinghouse for information on missing persons,
though many visitors to the site covered topics including alleged
human-rights violations and political issues. Huang, who was arrested
in June 2000, was the first person charged for Internet crimes in
China. Since then, Chinese authorities have detained others for similar
crimes. Huang's sentencing, for subversion, comes as the Chinese
government continues to seek a balance between promoting commercial
uses of technology while limiting political content and dissent.

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
We need a volunteer near Chicago to help feed books to our newest
super-scanner. . .we have a stack of 200 waiting, and just cannot
stay away to feed them in 24/7.
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 scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
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. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

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

Statistical Review
In the 19 weeks of this year, we have produced 1174 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1174 eBooks!!!
That's 19 WEEKS as Compared to 27 YEARS!!!
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.
With 7,916 eBooks online as of May 14, 2003 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.26 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 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.92 when we had 5219 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing $.66 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 7,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

From Newsscan
"An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous."

"There's no reason to burn books if you don't read them.
The education system in this country is just terrible,
and we're not doing anything about it." (Ray Bradbury)
ALL EYES ON iTUNES
The success of Apple's newly launched iTunes Music Store has drawn the
attention of potential rivals, who will go head-to-head with the popular
service when Apple extends it to Microsoft-based PCs at the end of this
year. Among the contenders are pressplay and MusicNet, backed by the major
record labels; Listen.com's Rhapsody; Musicmatch; FullAudio; and Echo, a
music venture backed by Best Buy, Borders Group, Virgin Entertainment Group
and others. In addition, AOL plans to introduce a pay-per-download service
late this year and Amazon and MSN also are exploring the possibility.
"Everyone in the music industry, and the film industry, and others, are
looking at Apple and saying, 'Oh my God,'" says Warner Music Group
executive VP Paul Vidich. "There's no question it has sparked new
interest." Part of the allure of Apple's iTunes is the flexible
arrangements CEO Steve Jobs negotiated with the record labels, which enable
users to move their 99-cent songs to an unlimited number of portable iPod
players, and burn as many as 10 identical CDs containing the same playlist.
It's anticipated that many of the competing services will try to duplicate
this flexibility, although Apple concedes it will be difficult to match the
simplicity and elegance it's achieved with its own hardware and operating
system. Meanwhile, several potential online-music players are staying on
the sidelines for now. "Apple's success in the Mac environment hasn't yet
proven that this is a real business with decent margins," says Yahoo VP
Dave Goldberg. "If it is, a lot of major players will get into the space."

SWAPPERS BOOST MUSIC SALES
A Nielsen/NetRatings survey of 36,000 Internet users found that Web surfers
who download music from song-swapping sites are more likely to buy music
online and in stores, than non-swappers. The research indicates that in the
past three months, online music enthusiasts (defined as people who'd
downloaded music in the past 30 days) were 111% more likely to buy rap
music than the average Internet user. They were also 106% more likely to
have purchased dance and club music and 77% more likely to have bought
alternative rock than their average online counterparts. R&B, soul music
and rock rounded out the top five genres favored by music fans. Greg Bloom,
a senior analyst at Nielsen/NetRatings, says that understanding the
preferences of online music enthusiasts may help recording executives in
their attempts to promote their own, legitimate services: "The de facto
standard may be a few years away, but understanding the genres of music
that sell well online and offline will be crucial to generating revenue
along the way." (Reuters/CNet News.com 7 May 2003)

TIVO LICENSES ITS TECHNOLOGY FOR DVD PLAYERS
TiVo, maker of set-top devices that enable television viewers to pause and
replay live shows, is licensing a bare-bones version of its service to
makers of DVD players. The TiVo Basic service will be free, and will allow
buyers of the enhanced DVDs to pause live TV shows and record programs
selected by time and date, but will not include TiVo's more advanced
features, such as the ability to save every Atlanta Braves game played
during a set period. However, buyers will be able to upgrade to TiVo's full
service for about $13 a month or a one-time fee of $299. Toshiba will be
the first company to produce a DVD player equipped with TiVo Basic service,
which will be available in retail stores later this year. (Reuters 8 May 2003)

EARTHLINK AWARDED $16M IN SPAMAGES
A federal judge awarded Earthlink $16.4 million in damages and instituted a
permanent injunction against a Buffalo, NY, man identified as the
ringleader of a group that used Earthlink's network to send 825 million
spam messages over the past year. Earthlink said Howard Carmack and his
cronies used Internet accounts opened with stolen identities and credit
cards to send junk e-mail. The ruling is the latest in a series of legal
actions taken by ISPs against bulk spammers. Last year Earthlink won $25
million in damages in a suit against another bulk e-mailer, Kahn C. Smith
of Tennessee, but it hasn't collected the award. The company also has
several other lawsuits pending. Meanwhile, last December, America Online
won a $6.9 million judgment against a now-defunct Illinois company that
specialized in p*rnographic spam. Over the last few years, AOL has won 25
spam-related lawsuits against more than 100 companies and individuals, says
a company spokesman. (AP 7 May 2003)

ACTORS WITH ZERO-AND-ONE TALENTS
In the new movie "The Matrix Reloaded," scenes were created by
photographing real people and then manipulating them digitally. Producer
Joel Silver says: "This is going to change the way people make movies. It's
not 'Shrek' or 'Toy Story.' You're seeing reality-based scenes dealing with
human characters, and it's designed so you really can't distinguish between
the real actor and the ones and zeros. And you're talking about shots that
are close-ups on faces, and emotion coming through. There are some really
remarkable scenes that the audience will never know were constructed in a
computer, or that there's nobody actually in it."

TV-SHOW SWAPPING CATCHES HOLLYWOOD BY SURPRISE
The proliferation in European broadband Internet access is fueling a new
trend -- TV-show swapping -- which enables European viewers to catch the
latest U.S. sitcoms just days after they first air, rather than waiting
months for a local network to broadcast them. Jacqueline Hurt, a lawyer
specializing in media law, says, "Until now, the effect of the Internet on
TV and film has been small because of the speed issues involved in
downloading. But with the increased uptake of broadband, and if the quality
was acceptable, then this could be a big issue for broadcasters and
program-makers^E The value of a program to broadcasters will go down if the
program is readily available on the Internet." But broadcasters remain
largely unaware of the threat. Yinka Adegoke, deputy editor of New Media
Age magazine, says: "No one I know in the industry is aware of it and it is
just not on the agenda^E If this goes from being a niche activity to the
mainstream it will be virtually impossible to stop. This is exactly what
happened to the music industry. Once the genie is out of the bottle you
can't put it back in." The range of shows available for downloading currently
is focused on the most popular U.S. programs, such as "Friends" and
"The West Wing," and programs with loyal fan bases, such as science fiction.

INTERNET TOILET A HOAX
The iLoo, described in a press release last week as a portable toilet with
wireless keyboard and an extending height-adjustable plasma screen in front
of the seat, doesn't exist: it was just a joke. Microsoft says the hoax
press release came from the company's MSN division in the U.K. and was not
a "Microsoft-sanctioned communication." It all just goes to show that you
can't believe what you read anymore, not even the toilet jokes.

SONY TOUTS 'THE WALKMAN OF THE 21ST CENTURY'
Sony announced its latest salvo in the videogame wars: a small, lightweight
videogame device called PlayStation Portable (PSP for short), which will
hit the shelves toward the end of 2004 and will feature a 4.5-inch screen
and a high-end processor for running games. The PSP will be capable of
linking by wire to other PSPs, cell phones, PCs and Sony's PlayStation 2.
Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi says the PSP will be
"the Walkman of the 21st century."

In a new report called "A Look at Alternatives to Microsoft," the Gartner
research firm says that governments throughout the world are encouraging
departments and businesses to consider alternatives to support Linux, an
increasingly popular alternative to Microsoft's Windows operating system.
This development is taking place in China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia,
Australia, and several European and South American countries. Gartner says
the attractiveness of Linux seems to be attributable to widespread
perceptions that Microsoft insists on unattractive licensing arrangements
and offers inadequate software protections against security breaches.

SOUTH KOREA'S 'CITIZEN REPORTERS'
The increasingly popular South Korean online news site ohmynews.com has
more than 26,300 of its readers registered as "citizen reporters" who
account for about 80% of the site news coverage (the rest of which is
written by ohmynews's 38 professional writers and editors). The mainstream
press is critical of ohmynews's journalistic methods, but senior editor and
founder Oh Yeon-ho says that his intention is to "say goodbye to 20th
century journalism," by showing that every citizen can be a reporter. "We
put everything out there and people judge the truth for themselves."

MICROSOFT TOILET PROJECT WASN'T HOAX
Microsoft and its public relations firm are now saying that what they
themselves thought was a hoax (the development of the iLoo, a portable
toilet complete with wireless keyboard and Internet access) actually was a
real project of the company's MSN group in the UK. The original press
release indicated that the iLoo would offer its users "a unique
experience." An MSN product manager now says: " "We jumped the gun
basically yesterday in confirming that it was a hoax and in fact it was
not," said Lisa Gurry, MSN group product manager. "Definitely we're going
to be taking a good look at our communication processes internally. It's
definitely not how we like to do PR at Microsoft." In any event, whether
really a hoax or really real, the project is now dead -- flushed, as it were.

SEC FILES FRAUD CHARGES
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against K.
C. Smith in a U.S. District Court in Tennessee. Mr. Smith, a
20-year-old Kentucky resident, was charged with raising $102,554
through two fake Web sites and millions of spam e-mail messages between
May 2002 and February 2003. SEC regulators allege that Mr. Smith's Web
site for a fake company, Kryer Financial, offered double-digit monthly
returns. Mr. Smith also invented the United States Deposit Insurance
Corporation to insure Kryer Financial investments against loss, with a
Web site that featured the SEC's official seal. Mr. Smith allegedly
used the money he collected for living expenses and neither invested
nor insured it. Mr. Smith agreed to a settlement that requires him to
return $107,510 of gains and interest.

INTEL DISCLOSES FLAW IN ITANIUM 2
Intel recently announced that an electrical problem can cause computers
that use its Itanium 2 processor to behave strangely or crash. While
the problem affects only some chips and can be circumvented by setting
the processor to run at a lower speed, Intel will replace the processor
at customers' request. According to analysts, the problem is uncommon
because the machines have been on the market for a year and only
recently have problems surfaced. The Itanium line was designed to
handle chips from Sun Microsystems and IBM to be used in high-end
servers with dozens of processors. The problem has created a ripple
effect through the computer industry, with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and
Dell addressing the issue in different ways. Sales of Itanium 2 servers
are expected to suffer because the more powerful Itanium 2 6M
processor, soon to be released, is unaffected by the glitch.

GOP SENATORS DROP EFFORT TO EXTEND PATRIOT ACT
In a highly negotiated deal this week, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch withdrew a
proposal to make the expanded law-enforcement powers of the USA Patriot
Act permanent. Civil liberties groups, many Democrats, and a few
Republicans strongly opposed extending the surveillance powers, which
are scheduled to expire in 2005. Timothy Edgar of the American Civil
Liberties Union called the withdrawal a "major victory" and suggested
that many believe that "the government has already gone too far with
the Patriot Act." As part of the compromise not to extend the Patriot
Act, the Senate voted 90 to 4 supporting a bill that gives government
officials broader authority to obtain warrants for surveillance. Some
argue that such authority could have prevented the September 11
attacks. The Senate bill now moves to the House, where the level of
support is uncertain.

FISA WIRETAPS JUMP 30 PERCENT
Privacy advocates and civil liberties groups report that the FBI
increasingly submits wiretap requests to the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court, which was created in 1978 by the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), rather than to state and federal
courts. Warrants granted under FISA give broader authority for searches
than Title III wiretaps, granted by the courts, and receive less
scrutiny. Despite a report last year that the FBI had misled FISA on 75
occasions, FISA has never rejected a wiretap request. Last year the
number of wiretap applications to FISA jumped 30 percent, from 934 to
1,228, while the number of wiretaps approved by state and federal
judges dropped from 1,491 to 1,359. Critics of the system point out
that the FISA court meets privately and all records from the court's
proceedings are sealed, even to those prosecuted by FISA orders. Beryl
Howell, who served as general counsel for the Senate judiciary
committee from 1993 to 2003, said, "When it comes to FISA, there are
virtually no reporting requirements."

SPAMMER FINED, BARRED FROM SENDING UNSOLICITED E-MAIL
Internet service provider EarthLink has won a lawsuit against Howard
Carmack for sending as many as 825 million spam e-mails to EarthLink
subscribers. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas W. Thrash Jr. ruled that
Carmack must pay EarthLink $16.4 million and is permanently prohibited
from sending, or helping anyone else send, unwanted e-mail. Carmack
allegedly used stolen credit cards, identity theft, and banking fraud
to set up e-mail accounts to send spam and help others send spam.
Neither Carmack nor an attorney representing him appeared in court.
Last year EarthLink won damages of $25 million in a case against
another spammer, though the company said it has not collected that
money. An attorney for EarthLink said the injunction against Carmack is
much more significant than the damages.

your own, as long as you abide by the Gutenberg copyrights
and procedures. Basically, broadcast but DON'T SELL.
If you want to mark up a book for broadcast, watch these announcements.
We will be publishing a manual to help you do so in these pages. At the moment,
we would like novels and short stories in English more than anything
else. But Spanish is in our immediate future, as are biographies and histories,
though these will be introduced somewhat later.

--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not updated instantly, as additional research may need to be done by our professional Chief Cataloguer, so for those who wish to obtain these new ebooks, please refer to the following section.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS: A PAGE A DAY OR MORE IS ALL IT TAKES
If you haven't already, please visit the Project
Gutenberg Distributed Proofreading (DP) project:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp
By spending a few minutes per page, you can help
Project Gutenberg to reach our goal of 10,000 eBooks
by the end of 2003. Proofreading is easy and fun,
and there are easy books for newcomers to select from.
Distributed Proofreading is seeking post-processing
people, too. After you have completed a number of
pages, you can start doing final assembly on eBooks.
There are hundreds of eBooks ready for post-processing,
and you could help to get them added to the Project
Gutenberg collection!
Got books suitable for destructive scanning (where the
binding is chopped off so the pages may be fed to an
automatic scanner)? Check whether they're already in
the collection, and if not send them to our scanner
site:

9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
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. The
In Progress list includes eBooks that are not yet completed:
