immoral – it’s a moral imperative. Only those
blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend
make a copy.
Large corporations, of course, are blinded by
greed. The laws under which they operate
require it – their shareholders would revolt at
anything less. And the politicians they have
bought off back them, passing laws giving them
the exclusive power to decide who can make
copies. There is no justice in following unjust
laws. It’s time to come into the light and, in the
grand tradition of civil disobedience, declare
our opposition to this private theft of public
culture.
We need to take information, wherever it is
stored, make our copies and share them with
the world. We need to take stuff that’s out of
copyright and add it to the archive. We need to
buy secret databases and put them on the Web.
We need to download scientific journals and
upload them to file sharing networks. We need
to fight for Guerilla Open Access. With enough
of us, around the world, we’ll not just send a
strong message opposing the privatization of
knowledge – we’ll make it a thing of the past.
Will you join us?

Asymptotically log
Fano varieties
Ivan A. Cheltsov, Yanir A. Rubinstein
Description:
Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we
define a new class of log pairs that we call
asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly
asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their
properties in dimension two under an additional
assumption of log smoothness, and give a
complete classification of two dimensional
strongly asymptotically log smooth log Fano
