Part 2: Sorting Imprints

Point A: Appropriation of techniques that were historically used to append imprints able to grant marks of quality and acknowledgement are now readjusted.

Argument 1 : Watermarking as an aesthetic enhancement, a mark of quality to a user imprint.

Watermarks in libraries and archives

Watermarks in the publishing business

Argument 2 : Library stamps providing a body of evidence for determining both the circumstance and date of acquisition, questioning on ownership and acquisition.

Library stamps in libraries and archives

Stamps in the publishing business

Research focus

Examine the repercussion of publishing businesses creating body of evidence against downloaders and how it is opposed to the idea of libraries as a place to access knowledge and to create a community.

Summary

In this chapter, I will start by addressing how language and techniques from libraries and archives were appropriated by commercial distribution channels as a way to create accountability for users who illegally download, distribute and make available copyrighted material. This is done by leaving imprints like the user geolocation, IP addresses, mac addresses, email addresses, etc. Sharing copyrighted material is easy and one can even do it without knowing it. Publishers started to set strategies to limit access to illegal copies. Focused on watermarking in the realm of publishing I will explore what services create and append them. What traces can be left? What kind of information can we spot? Is there any impact on platform users that are constantly reminded that a book has DRM?
