Even if the facts are as he alleged (which they aren?t), he still loses because the 1st Amendment protects trolling (?hyperbole?). The most interesting part of the opinion to me was the question of jurisdiction because that applies in all Internet cases. It?s unfortunate that the judge had to go with Mass law instead of Cali law, because Mass law is pretty bad in these cases. Strangely, it protects lobbying but not free speech. It?s also really cool to see Harder lose because he was the scumbag lawyer in the Gawker case. Dude?s not exactly a graceful loser. RB > On Sep 10, 2017, at 11:44 AM, John R.

Their writings will be the archive of history when the participants are gone. Maybe, maybe not. I don't recognize any of the editors' names, and the articles do not fill me with insight or delight: An article in the first issue: Towards a nonlinear, material history of digital swarms Abstract In contemporary internetworked societies, digital media and networks have increasingly become a ?battlefield? where, following the emergence of novel power relations, new forms of resistance have come to the fore. Amongst these resistances, there are the so-called ?digital swarms?. This is a communicational disruption also technically known in computing as ?Distributed Denial-of-Service? (DDoS): a form of political dissent that, in the last years, has hit the headlines, thanks to the digital media actions of Anonymous. This article focuses on these forms of mediation, approaching digital swarms via a historical analysis that stresses nonlinearity and materiality. I argue that digital swarming actions cannot be read as an issue of obtaining attention through media visibility, and that the disruptions these lead to cannot be accounted as mere metaphors of street political action, finding conversely their cultural history in other forms of media disruptiveness. This historical excavation points, then, towards a different genealogy for digital swarms, acknowledging the key material dimensions at stake via the infrastructural character of disruptive mediations as well as via non-anthropomorphic patterns of enunciation. I can't tell whether this is a history of DDoS or what. I do know that "digital swarms" is not a term which means anything. If I were running a library, $1,913 for their online something package would not be high on my budget priority list. The IEEE publishes Annals, a perfectly good quarterly computing history journal that is reasonably priced and is widely available. It's had lots of Arpanet and Internet articles. If you want to write about Arpanet history, write for them.
