For the last couple of years librarians have talked about a 20th century black hole when trying to describe the effect that copyright has on making cultural heritage available online (it appears that the concept was first used publicly by Prof. James Boyle in a 2009 column for the Financial Times).
At Europeana we are able to show the 20th century black hole in our dataset by looking at the temporal distribution of works within the dataset. We did so in a first analysis that we undertook in May 2012 and we have just repeated this exercise at the request of the European Commission which is looking for evidence to assess the impact of copyright on the online availability of cultural heritage. Just as in 2012 we are seeing the concept of the 20th century black hole confirmed in our data.

Taxi owners and lenders on Tuesday sued New York City and its Taxi and Limousine Commission, saying the proliferation of the popular ride-sharing business Uber was destroying their businesses and threatening their livelihoods.
The lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court accused the defendants of violating yellow cab drivers’ exclusive right to pick up passengers on the street by letting Uber drivers who face fewer regulatory burdens pick up millions of passengers who use smartphones to hail rides.
According to the complaint, the number of Uber rides in the « core » of Manhattan increased by 3.82 million from April to June 2015 compared with a year earlier, while medallion cab pickups fell by 3.83 million.
They said this had driven down the value of medallions, which yellow cab drivers need to operate, by 40 percent from a peak exceeding $1 million and caused more defaults.

Outre que, contrairement à ce qui a souvent été écrit, les Anonymous n’ont pas déclaré ce jour-là la guerre à l’EI – ils l’avaient déjà fait après les attentats de janvier –, de nombreuses informations, souvent erronées, circulent sur les réseaux sociaux. Notamment concernant la publication par le collectif de plusieurs listes de comptes Twitter liés à l’EI.

Tout est parti en juillet 2014, avec la plainte d’une personne qui « dénonçait la communication par téléphone de son mot de passe par la société ». Celle-ci craignait alors que ses données confidentielles soient stockées en clair dans la base de données de ce spécialiste. Moins de deux semaines plus tard, la CNIL procède à un contrôle de la société.
