Columbia Spatial Information Design Lab

by jeanruaud
"The Spatial Information Design Lab is a think- and action-tank at Columbia University specializing in the visual display of spatial information about contemporary cities and events. The lab works with data about space -- numeric data combined with narratives and images to design compelling visual presentations about our world today. The projects in the lab focus on linking social data with geography to help researchers and advocates communicate information clearly, responsibly, and provocatively. We work with survey and census data, Global Positioning System information, maps, high- and low-resolution satellite imagery, analytic graphics, photographs and drawings, along with narratives and qualitative interpretations, to produce images."

D’après la cour de justice, le fait d’indexer des liens ed2k ou des fichiers torrent n’est pas vu comme une infraction de la loi. Bonne nouvelle donc pour tous les administrateur de site p2p espagnols ! C’est aussi sur ce constat que The Pirate Bay fonctionne et se revendique le droit de lister des liens p2p sans héberger aucun matériel copyrighté et piraté…
