|
<dt>What is Buy-to-Unglue?</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>Buy-to-Unglue is a program that uses sales revenue to push books into the public commons. Every book that gets purchased through Unglue.it brings the ungluing date closer to the present.</dd>
|
|
<dt>What is an Ungluing Date?</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The ungluing date is the date a book gets released under a Creative Commons License. After the ungluing date, the ebook will be available for free at unglue.it, Internet Archive and any library, anywhere.</dd>
|
|
<dt>How does that work?</dt>
|
|
<dd>The rights holder for the book picks <ol>
|
|
<li>an initial ungluing date some time in the future, and </li>
|
|
<li>a revenue goal</li>
|
|
</ol> When an ebook license is purchased, the ungluing date is recalculated according to these formulae:<pre>
|
|
(days per dollar) = [(initial ungluing date) - (campaign launch date)] / (campaign goal)
|
|
|
|
(current ungluing date) = (initial ungluing date) - (gross revenue)*(days per dollar)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Here's a calculator you can use to see how this works:
|
|
<div class="std_form">
|
|
<div class=" work_campaigns">
|
|
<form action="#calculator" method="POST" style="margin:5px" id="calculator">
|
|
{% csrf_token %}
|
|
<p>Starting with an Initial Ungluing Date of
|
|
{{ form.cc_date_initial.errors }}{{ form.cc_date_initial }}</p>
|
|
<p>and a revenue goal of
|
|
{{ form.target.errors }}${{ form.target }},</p>
|
|
|
|
{% if form.instance.dollar_per_day %}
|
|
|
|
<p>When the Book has earned
|
|
${{ form.revenue.errors }}{{ form.revenue }}, the new Ungluing Date will be <span class="call-to-action">{{ form.instance.cc_date }}</span> and every additional <span class="call-to-action">${{ form.instance.dollar_per_day|floatformat:2|intcomma }}</span> received will advance the Ungluing Date by one day.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><input type="submit" value="Calculate" /> another Ungluing Date</p>
|
|
{% else %}
|
|
<p>when the Book has earned ...<br />
|
|
${{ form.revenue.errors }}{{ form.revenue }}
|
|
|
|
<input type="submit" value="Calculate" /> a new Ungluing Date</p>
|
|
|
|
{% endif %}
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>How do I tell what a book's ungluing date is?</dt>
|
|
<dd>The ungluing date is displayed on the campaign page for every Buy-to-Unglue book, and is printed inside every copy sold through Unglue.it on the license/copyright page. For ebooks sold anywhere else, you'll need to wait for the author(s) to die, and many decades after that, for the copyright to expire.</dd>
