re. The Hypertext Crito;

Sure. Go ahead. By the way, before the hyprtext crito there was the "windows help file crito"...

Best tim

  

2. In the internet age, there are questions about intellectual property and "where" exactly a person's work "exists". What IS the original and what the copy?

I find the lines between "my" work and "your" work blend very well online. I give "blanket" permission to anyone wanting to copy my writings. My criteria for allowing this: I assume that they will be used in a manner which is not opposed to the intent and scope of the ideas presented (as they might evolve in a mind or other naturalize setting without intellectual constraint).* *which might also be interpreted-- that they not intentionally be used for libel or slander

3. Dear Terrell,

re. The Poetics of Artificial Intelligence

Thanks for your interest in my work. You're more than welcome to link to it, or cite from it, but I'm afraid I cannot give you permission to download isolated subsets of the work and mount them from your own server. The problem here is not so much with your individual request, but if this were to become common practice it would be impossible toretain any sense of authenticity or authority when referencing online resources.

Best of luck with your thesis,

I will consider your mirroring some of my online papers but I need to know which ones and they would need to have to status of official mirror sites (without the preamble). They would look _exactly_ like the originals but would be stored on your site and there would be pointers to your mirror copies from my site. Is this OK?

5. re. (degrees of freedom)

Thursday, September 3, 1998

You have my permission to copy this material for the purposes indicated.

Could you please include a copyright notice: copyright 1998 Jay David

Bolter.

Also you might be interested in my new book (coauthored with Richard Grusin) Remediation: Understanding New Media, which will be published this fall by MIT Press. The material from Degrees of Freedom is incorporated into the final chapters of this book.

The whole title is: Remediation: Understanding New Media. Yes, I meant

fall in the northern hemisphere. But actually late this fall: December,

1998. You may still want to copy Degrees of Freedom, because the material

is very much changed in the book.

I believe there is a project to archive the whole World Wide Web -- but I'm

afraid I don't know the details. Someone in California of course.

6. Hi--

re. (accommodating chaos)

That use will be fine.

Thanks for your interest.

Hale Chatfield


7. As Hobbes' Internet Timeline is hosted at the Internet Society, there is no danger of it being lost. At worse, it won't have been updated. The Timeline is also published as RFC2235 which you can find in various RFC archives worldwide. You are welcome to place a link to the work, but please do not copy it.

8. Greetings...you are welcome...glad to hear that they are of value

re. Spherical Configuration of Interlocking Roundtables

Dr. Anthony Judge


9. perfect, do and take what you want. A mention of source and origins is

always helpful for scholars and (re)searchers but most important is the

essence.

looking forward to your views...

Heiner Benking


 10.  Yes, go ahead.

11.  Terrell,

You can copy the pages you want to your site, but I would ask that once you
have copied them, you send me the URL for each page so that I might review
how you have prensented. Does this seem fair to you?

And yes, RPI is near Clifton Park.

Good luck on your dissertation.

Lee Honeycutt

 re. Bakhtin and Critical Theory

12. sure

are you aware that the national library in canberra has a project called pandora which archives australian sites of cultural significance for

research and reference purposes.

Komninos

13. Terrell,

A very intriguing request you make. I'll probably say 'yes', but before I do I'd be interested in knowing which material you'd be copying/citing. Partly because I keep catching subtle errors, typos, or phrasings that need amending - and would just like to make sure that text and concepts are crisp and clean and "un-embarassing" for any faux pas's. Let me know.

14. Please do not mount publicly available copies of my articles on the Internet. I am committed to keeping my entire website online at the same URLs indefinitely (at least 30 years). If you still fear that it may go away, I will give you permission to copy the files to your own personal computer, as long as they are not on the Web. In any public linking, please cite the original location and not your personal copy. My reason for this policy is that I want to retain a clear sense of authenticity of my work that makes it clear what I have written and when I wrote it. With too many proliferating copies scattered around the Internet, users will easily get confused. This is particularly true because of search engines.

Anyway, good luck with your thesis. I hope this message allows you sufficient access to my articles to allow you to proceed.

15. dear terrell newage,

from my point of view youre quite welcome to copy my work onto your server, so long as you keep my name on it (one of my articles was circulating not long ago w/o my name, which is sort of inevitable and was accidental, but . . .) i suspect this may violate the journal's copyright in theory, but i doubt that they would assert their copyright in practice.

best, alan aycock
