Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lawrence Lessig: Thank you very much. It's extremely cool to be here.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just about as cool as when I spoke at Pixar.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think of these two as being highlights of my career (check).
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, thank you very much for having me.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have two small ideas I want to use as an introduction to an argument,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the nature of access to scientific knowledge in the context of the internet,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and use that argument as a step towards a plea about what we should do.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here is the first idea.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to call it the "White-effect".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I name that after Justice Byron White, justice of the US Supreme Court,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,appointed by John F. Kennedy - here he is in 1962
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- famous before that as 'Whizzer' White on the Yale University football team
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When he was appointed to the Supreme Court, he was a famous liberal,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,renowned liberal, the only appointee that John Kennedy had to the Supreme Court.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But 'Whizzer' White grew old, and he is probably most famous for an infamous opinion,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which he penned on behalf of the Supreme Court, Bowers v. Hardwick,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an opinion where the Supreme Court upheld the Criminalization of Sodomy law.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here is the passage: 'Against this background, to claim that a right to engage
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in such conduct' - homosexual sodomy - 'is "deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition"
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or "implicit in the concept of ordered liberty" is, at best, facetious.'
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, this is what I want to think of as the "White Effect".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To be a liberal or a progressive is always relative to a moment, and that moment changes,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and too many are liberal or progressive no more.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, that's the "White effect". Here is the second idea.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Harvard Gazette is a kind of propaganda publication of Harvard University,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it talks about all the happy things at Harvard.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here's an article that it wrote, about an extraordinary macro-economist,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gita Gopinath, who has just come to Harvard, received tenure last year
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and is one of the most influential macroeconomists in the United States right now.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This article talks about her work and her research, and at the very end,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is this puzzling passage, where it says:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Still, the shelves in her new office are nearly bare, since, said Gopinath,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Everything I need is on the Internet now." '
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right, that's the second idea. Here is the argument.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, copyright is a regulation by the State intended to change
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a regulation by the market. It's an exclusive right, a monopoly right,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a property right granted by the State, which is necessary
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to solve an inevitable market failure.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, by saying that it's necessary to solve an inevitable market failure,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm marking myself as a pro-copyright scholar,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the sense that I believe copyright is necessary, even in a digital age.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Especially in a digital age, copyright is necessary to achieve
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,certain incentives that otherwise would be lost.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the internet age, what we've seen as a fight about copyright,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about the scope of copyright, waged most consistently in the context
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the battle over artists' rights, in particular, in the context of music,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where massive 'sharing' - sharing which is technically illegal - has lead to a fight
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fought by artists and especially by artists' representatives.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we from the Free Culture movement, have challenged the people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who have been waging that fight.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they defend copyright in the context of that fight.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if we get above the din of this battle, the important thing to keep in mind
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that both sides in this fight acknowledge that copyright is essential
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for certain creative work,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we need to respect copyright for that creative work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We, from the Free Culture movement, need to respect copyright for that work,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we need to recognize that there is a place for sensible copyright policy
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to protect and encourage that work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, however - and here is the important distinction -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not only artists rely upon copyright, copyright is also relied upon by publishers,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and publishers are a different animal.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't have to be as negative as John Milton was when he wrote publishers are
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Old patentees and monopolizers in the trade of books
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,- men who do no labor in an honest profession, to [them], learning is indebted."
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't have to go quite that far to recognize why publishers are different,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the economic problem for publishers is different
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the economic problems presented by creating.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So who is copyright for? The publishers or the artists?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, since the beginning of copyright in the Anglo-American tradition,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Statute of Anne of 1710, there has been this argument about whether copyright
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was intended for the publishers or the artists.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When the Statute of Anne was originally introduced, it gave a perpetual term of copyright,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which the publishers understood to be a protection for them.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was then amended to give just a limited term for copyright.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Publishers were puzzled about that, because it wouldn't make sense to give a limited term
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if it was the publisher that was to be protected.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 1769, a court case in the context of Millar v. Taylor seemd to suggest that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,despite the limitation of the Statute of Anne, copyright was for ever.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in 1774, in a very famous case about this book, The Seasons, by James Thomson,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the House of Lords have held that copyright protected by the Status of Anne was limited,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,holding for the first time that works passed into the public domain.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for the first time in English history, works including Shakespeare
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,passed into the public domain. And in this moment, we can say Free Culture was born.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it also clarified that copyright was not intended for the publisher.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even if it benefited the publishers, it was a creative right
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and author's right. Even if benefitting publishers, copyright was for authors.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I remark these obvious borders about the scope of copyright,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we tend to forget them. We've been fighting a battle in the context of copyright
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where copyright is essential, and we are spending too little attention
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about a battle in a context where copyright is not essential.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I mean by that, in the context of science, in the context that Gopinath was speaking of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when she talked about everything being available on the internet.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the consequence of failing to pay attention to this second context
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,within which this battle is being waged is that there is a trouble here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that too few see.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's think about this claim that everything is on the internet now.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What does that mean?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here is a particular example to evaluate what that means.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Much of my work, these days, is focusing on corruption
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the context of this institution, Congress.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's say that we wanted to study, you wanted to study with me,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,corruption in this context. Go to Google Scholar and enter a search for campaign finance.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here are the top articles that would be listed from that search.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's say you wanted to browse through these articles
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get a sense of campaign finance and how it might be related to corruption in Congress.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here are the top 10 articles. This first one, a very famous one
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by my former colleagues Pam Karlan and Sam Issacharof.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You would find, to get access to this article, you'd have to pay $29.95.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second article, housed at JSTOR, you'd have to get through to get permission
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the Columbia Law Review - not quite clear how you would do that.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Third article, again, $29.95. The fourth article, protected by Questia,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we learn that you can get a 1-day free trial to all these Oxford University Press articles,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'd only have to pay when that day is over 99 dollars
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to continue for a year.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here is the 4th article again, protected by JSTOR.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The 5th article, it's an economics article, so the price is right on the surface:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,10 dollars to purchase access to this article.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's the 7th article, Columbia Law Review.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,8th article, Columbia Law Review, 9th article, protected again by JSTOR,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,10th article, $29.95. So, how accessible is this information to the general public?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, one of these you can get access to for free, at least one time only,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of them you can pay $10 for. 3 of them, $29.95, and 5 of them, terms unknown,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,protected by JSTOR.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when Gopinath says "Everything I need is on the internet",
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what does she mean? What she means is if - and this is a big if -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're a tenured professor in an elite university or we could say a professor,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a student or professor in an elite university, or maybe
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a student or professor at a US university, if you are a member of the knowledge elite,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you have effectively free access to all of this information.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you are from the rest of the world? Not so much.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, the thing to recognize is we built this world,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we built this architecture for access that flows from the deployment of copyright,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I gathered these articles and set them aside, believing this problem

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, think about the story of JSTOR.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,JSTOR was launched in 1995, with an extraordinary amount of funding
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the Mellon Foundation. That funding produced a huge archive
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of journal articles. So that there are now more than 1200 journals, 20 collections,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,53 disciplines, 303'000 issues, about 28 million pages in JSTOR archive.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When this archive was launched, everybody thought it was brilliant.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everybody thought the access here was extraordinary.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But today? There is increasingly criticism growing out there
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about how JSTOR makes its information accessible.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We could think of it as a kind of "White effect".
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was liberal when it was launched, but what has it become as it has grown old?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, for example, here is an article published in the
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,California Historical Society Quarterly. It's 6 pages long.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To get it, you have to pay $20 to JSTOR, this non-profit organization,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leading Carl Malamud, who of course is famous for his Public Resources site,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to tweet in the following way: "JSTOR is morally offensive.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,$20 for a 6-page article, unless you happen to work at a fancy school."
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you might say, "This is a really important academic archive",
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the question is whether this really important academic archive
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is going to become a kind of RIAA for the academy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Begging the question that the "White effect" always begs,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether we could do this better under a different set of assumptions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, of course the Open Access movement is the movement that was launched
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try and do this better under different circumstances.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it has a long history, but its real push was inspired by
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a dramatic increase in the cost of journals.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if this is a study between 1986 and 2004 by the American Research Libraries,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is the increase in inflation, this is the increase in the cost of serials,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's obvious that the market power of these publishers is being exploited,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the purchasers of these serials have no choice but to buy them.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's in part motivated by this cost concern, it's also motivated by a sense of unfairness.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do all the work, they get all the money, here.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the response to these two kinds of concerns has been two:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,#1 an open access self-archiving movement, where the push has been
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Let's get as many things out there archived on the Web as we can,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pre-prints and whatever we can get up, and make sure
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Web can make them accessible" - and an Open Access publishing movement.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, what's the difference between these two movements?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The difference is licensing. Some "open" is "free", in the sense that Richard Stallman
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made famous by his quote: "Free software is a matter of liberty, not price.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, some aspect of the Open Access publishing is free as in free speech,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some "open" is not. Some is just free as in: "You can download it freely,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the rights that you get from the download are just as broad
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as narrowly granted by some implicit copyright rule.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, "free", as in licensed freely, has been the objective that the Science Commons project,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Copyright is a property system. It also happens to be

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,An the only remedy to that is to restore a kind of formality,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's a mistake. Obviously copyright needs to regulate
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,efficiently here, copies of professional works,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so 10'000 copies of Madonna's latest CD is a problem

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then these two middle cases are harder.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They need a little more freedom, but they need to assure
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some kind of control. So if you share Madonna's latest CD

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why don't we enable more easily the signaling by the creator
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that others should be able to download and reuse content,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not so much to redefine what Fair Use is -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I still think there is a fair use claim even if there isn't
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,permission given to re-use - but at least to encourage people
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to begin to signal that their freedom to share
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has been authorized by the author.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then in the academy, which I think we are speaking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about here right now.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We need to recognize in the academy, I think,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an ethical obligation much stronger than the one Stallman spoke of
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the context of software. An ethical obligation
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is at the core of our mission.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our mission is universal access to knowledge.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Universal access to knowledge:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not American University access to knowledge,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but universal access to knowledge in every part of the globe.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that obligation has certain entailments.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Entailment #1 is that we need to keep this work free,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where free means licensed freely.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now this needs to be part of an ethical point about what we do.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is resisted by people who say that archiving is enough.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that is wrong, I think.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Archiving is not enough, because what it does is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leave these rights out-there. And by leaving these rights our-there
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it encourages this architecture of closed access.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It encourages models of access that block access
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the non-elite around the world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it discourages unplanned, unanticipated and "uncool" innovation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the thing that publishers would have said
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Google Books, when Google Books had the idea
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to take all books published and put them on the Web.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right, publishers thought that was very uncool,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that's exactly the kind of innovation we need to encourage,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we know it won't be the publishers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that do that kind of innovation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't need for our work, exclusivity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we shouldn't practice, with our work, exclusivity.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we should name those who do, wrong.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those who do are inconsistent with the ethic of our work.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now how do we do that? I think we do that by exercising leadership,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leadership by those who can afford to take the lead,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the senior academics, those with tenure, those who can say,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on committees granting tenure, that it doesn't matter
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you didn't publish in the most prestigious journal
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if that journal is not Open Access.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People who can begin to help redefine what access to knowledge is,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by supporting Open Access and respecting Open Access
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and encouraging Open Access.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm really honored and happy to be able to talk about this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here, where you of course gave us the Web,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and CERN has taken the lead in supporting Open Access
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a crucial space of physics.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the work that you are doing right now will have a dramatic effect
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on changing the debate on science across the globe.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what we need to do is to think about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how to leverage this leadership into leadership for the globe,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to benefit this area of the globe as much as this area of the globe.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(applause)
