Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

He isn't charging for the content, only for the filtration process. The content itself is still technically distributed freely. Essentially (as I understand it) his customers are paying for the EXCLUSION of content, not for that which is included. But I guess you could take it up with him directly,...

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

Some of the material in his Wikipedia is content that I wrote. He’s not paying me for it. Why should he be supported for what he did but not me? I licenced it freely, but expected anyone who copied what I wrote to comply with the licence terms, which is to not prohibit someone else from copying it....

Re: Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups

More specifically, high-tech ethnic Anabaptists who have an ethnic last name and originally came from a low-tech group. There is more truth to that statement than we would care to admit.

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

English Wikipedia has 6,812,260 articles. That's a lot to go through. Does he take out the pages or put in a blank page? Does he go through and take out the links to these pages? I don't know for sure, but I think he takes those things out. His main focus is, I think, things of a deviant s3xual nat...

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

Yes, that's him. I'd say he has done a tremendous amount of work, pouring through basically all of the articles that might contain photos, diagrams, or text info that a conservative parent would not want to have available to a child. (It is, of course, a parent's rightful place to be able to do thi...

Re: Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups

Program development. Many main-stream programs have moved to a subscription-based business model, and license authentication for those who are still willing to work with businesses that are not on-line can be quite involved, usually involving the assistance of someone who has internet service.

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

Definitely one of many business opportunities to serve the portions of the plain community that don't want to use the Internet. The fact that he is able to sell this when his customer base could legally share it among themselves for free speaks well for his customer base - that they are willing to ...
