[Air-l] Posting abstracts to AoIR

[Mary L. Gray]

I would appreciate the postings. i feel like the work from people in AIR is
of particular interest to me and rather than wade through the countless
journals that *may* contain their articles, i'd rather hear about it from
the source!

my 2 cents.

> "Commodifying Usenet and the Usenet Archive or Continuing the
> Online Cooperative Usenet Culture?" by Ronda Hauben
> http://www.columbia.edu/~rh120/other/usenetstts.pdf
> Abstract
> This article explores the conflict between the cooperative online culture
> of users who have created Usenet and the corporate commodification of
> Usenet posts by companies archiving the posts. The clash of decision-
> making processes is presented thorough the details of how Usenet
> users choose to petition a company to provide protection for the
> public archives it had collected. The company disregarded the petition
> and the archives were sold to another company. The new company has begun
> to put its own copyright symbol on the posts in its archives. How will
> such a commodification affect the cooperative nature of Usenet itself
> and the continuing vitality of Usenet's cooperative culture The article
> explores this culture clash and considers possible consequences.
