Yesterday I was playing with Maciej's Contextual Network Graph stuff, so when I saw this I started thinking about how I could throw the whole 10G thing into a CNG (perhaps tweaked to discover location data, say). Then I notice that the blogcensus page is part of the NITLE group ...which is the same group that Maciej is operating out of. I guess he's already got the whole thing CNG'ed...

That's a bunch of data. Be fun to stick on a couple of DVDs and read during plane flights. For a research project, the tough part would be creating boundaries for your study.

Isn't it copyright infringement to take someone else's work with their copyright on it and then re-copyright it with your own, as they have done on this website? If someone's blog says "Copyright (c) 2003 so-and-so, all rights reserved," which I imagine many of them do, it can't be legal to just reprint their blog without their permission...
