NUEVA CADENA DEL LIBRO<br />

|
||
<a id="overview"></a><h2>Overview</h2>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>What?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Unglue.it offers a win-win solution to readers, who want to read and share their favorite books conveniently, and rights holders, who want to be rewarded for their work.<br /><br />
|
||
We run <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdfunding">crowdfunding</a> campaigns to raise money for specific, already-published books. When we reach goals set by the rights holders, we'll pay them to unglue their work. They'll issue an electronic edition with a <a href="http://creativecommons.org">Creative Commons</a> license as specified during the campaign. These licenses will make the edition free and legal for everyone to read, copy, and share, worldwide.<br /><br />
|
||
|
||
At Unglue.it, book lovers can pledge money to support these campaigns; add books to their wishlist to tell the world about their favorites; discuss their favorite books; share their Unglue.it pages via social media; and find direct links to public domain and unglued ebooks that they can read right away.
|
||
<dt>Why?</dt>
|
||
<dd>As ereaders proliferate, more and more people are enjoying the ereading experience. However, their favorite books may not be available as ebooks. Their ebooks may come with DRM which makes them unreadable on certain devices, and difficult or impossible to lend to friends. Or they may not be able to tell if they have the legal right to use the book as they'd like. The situation is even more challenging for libraries, which cannot acquire some ebooks at all, and can only acquire them under legal terms and DRM restrictions which run counter to library lending.<br /><br />
|
||
When books have a clear, established legal license which promotes use, they can be read more widely, leading to enjoyment, scholarship, and innovation. By raising money to compensate authors and publishers up front, Unglue.it encourages the benefits of openness while ensuring sustainability for creators.<br /><br />
|
||
For more background, read our president Eric Hellman's thoughts on <a href="http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/2011/04/public-broadcasting-model-for-ebooks.html">a public broadcasting model for ebooks</a> (on why the numbers work) and <a href="http://go-to-hellman.blogspot.com/search/label/Unglue.it">the development of Unglue.it</a>.</dd>
|
||
<dt>Who?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Unglue.it is a service of Gluejar, Inc. We are <a href="{% url supporter "eric" %}">Eric Hellman</a>, <a href="{% url supporter "AmandaM" %}">Amanda Mecke</a>, <a href="{% url supporter "rdhyee" %}">Raymond Yee</a>, and <a href="{% url supporter "andromeda" %}">Andromeda Yelton</a>, with help from designer Stefan Fabry and software developers Jason Kace and <a href="{% url supporter "edsu" %}">Ed Summers</a>. We come from the worlds of entrepreneurship, linked data, physics, publishing, education, and library science, to name a few. You can learn more about us at our Unglue.it pages (linked above) or our <a href="/about/">about page</a>.</dd>
|
||
<dt>When?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Unglue.it launched May 17, 2012.</dd>
|
||
<dt>Where?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Gluejar is a New Jersey corporation, but its employees and contractors live and work across North America. The best way to contact us is by email, <a href="mailto:press@gluejar.com">press@gluejar.com</a>.</dd>
|
||
<dt>What does it cost?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Unglue.it is free to join and explore. Supporters pledge money only if they choose to support campaigns, and the amount is up to them. They are charged only if the campaigns reach their goal price. Unglue.it takes a small percentage from successful campaigns, with the remainder going to the rights holders.</dd>
|
||
<dt>What's your technology?</dt>
|
||
<dd>Unglue.it is built using <a href="http://python.org/">Python</a> and the <a href="https://www.djangoproject.com/">Django framework</a>. We use data from the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/books/docs/v1/getting_started.html">Google Books</a>, <a href="http://openlibrary.org/developers/api">Open Library</a>, <a href="http://www.librarything.com/api">LibraryThing</a>, and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/api">GoodReads</a> APIs; we appreciate that they've made these APIs available, and we're returning the favor with <a href="/api/help">our own API</a>. You're welcome to use it. We use <a href="http://lesscss.org/">Less</a> to organize our CSS. We process pledges with <a href="https://payments.amazon.com/">Amazon Payments</a>. We collaborate on our code at <a href="https://github.com/">GitHub</a> and deploy to the cloud with <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/">Amazon EC2</a>.</dd>
|
||
<dt>How does the license work? Why did you choose this license?</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
The default Unglue.it license is a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/">Creative Commons BY-NC-ND</a> license. This license makes the edition free and legal for everyone to read, copy, and share worldwide. It requires that the author be credited and does not allow commercial use or derivative works (such as film adaptations) without additional permission from the rights holder.<br /><br />
|
||
We chose this license because it's a worldwide standard that has been developed by legal experts and tested in court. It invites readers to enjoy the book while providing clarity about their legal rights. It strikes a balance between rights holders' interests in promoting their work today and retaining certain potentially valuable rights for the future.<br /><br />
|
||
Creative Commons offers a variety of other licenses, many of them with even less restrictive terms. Unglue.it is happy to use any of them, if the rights holder prefers.
