Transpublishing content
I just found some very interesting way of transquoting text over the web. Since it originates from 1997 it is probably deemed lame and very old stuff, but still: I like the concept. The mind behind this concept is Theodor (Ted) Nelson who seems to be quite famous for opposing the current HTML/XML paradigm.
His system dates back to the late 1990s (I think) - Napster was not invented yet. The picture above shows how transpublishing works. Since his server has changed it's URL I had to revise the HTML a little bit having implicitly violated his copyright permission, but we will see if this goes unpunished. His works have had a great influence on legislation in Europe where we have a long discussion about downloading a copyrighted picture from a server and re-publishing it (illegally) on our own servers (or even worse: that of a service provider). His suggestion is to keep a reference to the original material in your own copyrighted materials with an appropriate copyright notice included. Well, that is at least what I understood from it and it seems to be difficult to explain. It is probably best to read the original in his Transpublishing section or directly in his original article on Transcopyright.
