"The American Library Association (ALA) denounces Hachette Book Group’s reported decision to raise the price of ebooks to the library market starting October 1...
“After these tentative steps forward, we were stunned to learn that Hachette plans to more than triple its prices for ebook sales to libraries starting October 1. Now we must ask, ‘With friends like these…?’"


From TweetSmarter:
"Twitter Has Lost the Fight to Keep Your Private Tweets Private" - by Gizmodo's Kyle Wagner, Sept. 14

"Welp, looks like your tweets really aren't protected by law. After months of haggling with the courts, Twitter has finally turned over the protected tweets of Occupy Wall Street protestor Malcolm Harris after his arrest in October...
for future cases like this, investigators can just knock on Twitter's door and ask for protected tweets, with the precedent already set that the information will probably be turned over."
