Ben: Thanks for commenting, I appreciate the input!

On that note, I’m proud to announce the new blog based on PT that will have comedy spinnings of all my posts. Entitled “Lie Copying in the Moment” it will be a laugh riot.

Hi,

I’m one of the engineers on reCAPTCHA. We wanted to make it crystal clear to the people who put reCAPTCHA on their site that we use the input of their users to digitize books. We don’t actually claim any copyright over the digitization we create — we make it available under the same terms as the non-digitized content.

Any site you use will have similar terms of service — if you make a comment on this blog, you agree to post under a “Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5 License”. When you browse around a site like Amazon, the navigational data is used for their research into consumer preferences. In our case, we use this work to support the need to preserve history into the digital age.
