> The Sarai programme of the CSDS is looking for researchers for its
> media-city project called Public and Practices in the History of the
> Present (PPHP). PPHP is an interdisciplinary engagement with the
> circulation of old and new media forms (film, cable TV, music, print)
> in cities. It looks at networks and their sites: media markets, film
> halls and multiplexes, as well as changing forms of distribution and
> exhibition. It takes the form of sustained field and archival research
> on media history and media publics in India. An important part of the
> work includes research on intellectual property law in the media, its
> practice in courts, enforcement agencies and law firms.
>
> The core of our work is in Delhi. All applicants must be resident in
> Delhi during the research period. Selected applicants will work in
> collaboration with a team of existing PPHP researchers.
>
> We are looking for researchers in three areas: -
>
> Cinema: field research and documentation on networks of production,
> distribution and exhibition in Indian cinema, with a particular focus
> on Delhi's film trade. We seek applications displaying an interest and
> familiarity with pertinent academic work in anthropology, film and
> cultural history.
>
> Media Property Regimes: Field based research looking at enforcement
> agencies (law firms, advocacy, police, investigators) involved with
> intellectual property and its discourse.
>
> Information Politics: Field and secondary research into practices of
> identification (I.D cards, biometrics), privacy issues, private
> security agencies, and lobby groups in industry.
>
> We expect applicants to have field research experience, and be
> bi-lingual in Hindi and English. For the legal research post, a
> critical engagement with intellectual property discourses will be
> appreciated. These are not permanent positions.
>
> Please send an application that includes a one-page statement, and a

> Copy Adorno, Go To Jail? Textz.com Doesn't Think So
>
> The Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Culture,
> presided by
> Jan Philipp Reemtsma, has just advanced science and culture to a whole
> new
> level: Sebastian Luetgert, the founder of textz.com, is facing a
> warrant of
> arrest and may go to jail if he fails to pay more than 2,300 euros in
> damages
> for the alleged copying of two essays by Theodor W. Adorno that the
> foundation
> claims as their "intellectual property". Reemtsma was kindly asked to
> settle,
> but refused.
>
> The case dates back to August 2002, when the foundation filed for a
> preliminary
> injunction against Luetgert at the Hamburg State Court, referring to
> the alleged
> distibution of two works by Theodor W. Adorno, "Jargon der
> Eigentlichkeit" and
> "Fascism and Anti-Semitic Propaganda". Since not a single e-mail was
> sent to
> notify textz.com of the matter, and since written notification failed
> to reach
> the defendant, textz.com only learned about the issue after a few
> days. The
> works in question were immediately removed from the site to avoid any
> further
> legal hassles.
>
> In December 2003, Luetgert found himself confronted with a warrant of
> arrest,
> obtained against him by the Hamburg Foundation, citing unpaid claims
> related to
> the unauthorized copying of said works. In January 2004, Luetgert
> addressed the
> issue in a letter to Reemtsma and asked for a scholarship so he could
> pay this
> debt and avoid jail time. Reemtsma did not reply, but handed the
> letter over to
> his foundation's lawyers - Senfft, Kersten, Voss-Andreae & Schwenn -
> who insist
> on the payment of 2,331.32 Euros for alleged damages and legal fees.
>
> Textz.com believes that an "intellectual proprietor" of Theodor W.
> Adorno and
> Walter Benjamin who claims to advance science and culture by sending
> people to
> jail for taking Adorno and Benjamin serious is seriously wrong on a
> whole number
> of points. The Hamburg Foundation undererstimates the resistance of
> their
> possessions against their legal protection just as much as their
> lawyers
> underestimate the ability of the Internet to route around damage. In
> the end,
> they may even be wrong in thinking that they will ever get their
> property back.
>
> Today, in an open letter (http://textz.com/adorno/open_letter.txt),
> Reemtsma has
> been notified that his foundation's "intellectual property" has been
> returned to
> the public domain. This first-of-its-kind protest signals a refusal to
> let
> copyright holders and lawyers censor the very works they pretend to
> protect and
> control what the public can archive or read. There is a universal
> right to copy
> that will never cease to apply, and there is copyright legislation
> that will.
> The spectre haunting the scientific and cultural industries is a new
> commons
> materializing before their very own eyes. We're just at the beginning.
