'''ccMixter.org''' is a community music site that promotes [[remix culture]] and makes samples, remixes, and a cappella tracks licensed under [[Creative Commons]] available for download and re-use in creative works. Visitors are able to listen to, sample, mash-up, or interact with music in a variety of ways including the download and use of tracks and samples in their own remixes. Most sampling or mash-up web sites on the Internet stipulate that users forgo their rights to the new song once it is created. By contrast, the material on ccMixter.org is generally licensed to be used in any arena, not just the ccMixter site or a specific contest. The ccMixter site contains over 10,000 samples from a wide range of recording artists, including high profile artists such as [[Beastie Boys]] and [[David Byrne (musician)|David Byrne]].

As a cultural phenomenon, ccMixter represents a direct response to what some say is the increasingly litigious attitude of organizations like the [[RIAA]]—one which prevents artists from appropriating elements of others' work for creative reuse in their own.

The site originated as a project of [[Creative Commons]] but in October of 2009, Creative Commons licensed the name 'ccMixter' and [[#transfer_of_operations| transferred operations]] to ArtisTech Media, a company run by members of the ccMixter community. The project maintains close organizational ties to independent minded, [[open music]] labels such as [[Magnatune]] and [[Barely Breaking Even|BBE]]. The site runs on ccHost<ref name=cchost>[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/cchost ccHost Wiki]</ref>, an award winning <ref name=cchaward>[http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/6026 Creative Commons: ccHost Wins A Linux World Journal Product Excellence Award]</ref> [[open source]] multimedia [[content management system]] that is able to keep track of how content is being remixed.

In February 2009, Victor Stone, project lead of ccMixter, posted a "memoir" <ref name=memoir>[http://fourstones.net/ccMixter_A_Memoir.pdf "ccMixter: A Memoir" (PDF) by Victor Stone ]</ref> detailing the history and philosophy of the first four years of operations at the site.

== Calls for Remixes ==
ccMixter began in 2004 as the host of the [[The Wired CD: Ripped. Sampled. Mashed. Shared.|Wired CD remix contest]]. That was followed by several other remix contests where prizes included recording contracts.

In 2007 ccMixter eschewed remix contests, in part, due to concerns in the member community that the site was losing its focus on [[open music]]. Instead major artists such as [[DJ Vadim]], Bucky Jonson ([[Black Eyed Peas]]' live backing band) and Trifonic have contributed the solo studio tracks (stems) to entire albums making them available under [[Creative Commons]] licenses that allowed remixes. In addition there have been "calls for remixes" by members that post a cappellas, looking to create albums from remixes such Colin Mutchler,<ref name=colin>[http://www.colinmutchler.com/2008/01/language_of_my_reality.php "Language of My Reality" by Colin Mutchler]</ref>, [[Brad Sucks]]<ref name=brad>[http://www.magnatune.com/artists/brad_sucks "Mixter Two" by Brad Sucks]</ref>, [[Tamara Barnett-Herrin]] (aka Calendar Girl) and [[Shannon Hurley]] <ref name=shannon>[http://ccmixter.org/shannon-hurley Call for Remixes: Shannon Hurley]</ref>.

== Transfer of Operations ==
In May 2008, Creative Commons posted <ref name=rfppost>[http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8323 Creative Commons: Request for Proposals]</ref> a Request for Proposals <ref name=rfp>[http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/pdfs/ccmixter-rfp-20080529.pdf Request for Proposals (PDF)]</ref> to take over the stewardship and operations of ccMixter. The RFP received broad coverage including [[Boing Boing]],<ref>[http://www.boingboing.net/2008/05/30/ccmixter-seeking-pro.html Boing Boing: ccMixter seeking proposals from people who want to take it over]</ref> ''[[AdAge]]'',<ref>[http://adage.com/songsforsoap/post?article_id=127520 Adage: On the Chopping Block: CcMixter]</ref> and ''[[Wired News|Wired]]''.<ref>[http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/06/creative-common.html WIRED: Creative Commons To Sell ‘ccMixter’ Remix Community (with Caveats)]</ref>.

On October 28, 2009, the fifth anniversary of the first upload to ccMixter, Creative Commons announced <ref name=transfer>[http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/18867 Creative Common: ccMixter→ArtisTech Media]</ref> a transfer of operations to ArtisTech Media, a [[net label]] owned and operated by members of the ccMixter community.

'''Ars Technica''' ({{pronEng|ˌɑrz ˈtɛknɨkə}}), [[Latin]] for "Art of Technology",<ref name=latin/> is a technology news and information website created by Ken Fisher and Jon Stokes in 1998. It publishes news, reviews and guides on issues such as computer hardware and software, science, technology policy, and video games. Ars Technica is known for its Features; long articles that go into specific detail on their subjects. Many of the site's writers are postgraduates, and some work for research institutions. Articles on the website are often written in an opinionated tone, as opposed to a newspaper or journal.

Ars Technica was privately owned until May 2008 when it was sold to Condé Nast Digital—the online division of [[Condé Nast Publications]]. Condé Nast purchased the site along with two others for $25 million dollars, and added it to their Wired Digital group that also includes [[Wired News]] and [[Reddit]]. The website's staff relocated to Chicago, Illinois, and also have offices in San Francisco, California. The cost of operating Ars Technica has always been funded primarily by online advertising. The website generated controversy in 2009 when it experimentally blocked users who use advertisement blocking software from viewing the site. Ars Technica has also offered a paid subscription service since 2001.

== History ==
Ken Fisher and Jon Stokes created the Ars Technica [[website]] and [[limited liability company]] in 1998.<ref name=llc/> Its purpose was to publish computer [[hardware]] and [[Computer software|
software]]-related news articles and guides;<ref name=wsj_video/> in their words, "the best multi-OS, PC hardware, and tech coverage possible while [..] having fun, being productive, and being as informative and as accurate as possible."<ref name=orig_mission_statement/> "Ars technica" is a [[Latin]] [[attributive construction]] that translates to "art of technology".<ref name=wsj_video/> The website published news, reviews, guides, and other content of interest to computer enthusiasts. Writers for Ars Technica were geographically distributed in the United States at the time; Fisher lived in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]], Stokes in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]], and the other writers their respective cities.<ref name=llc/><ref name=orig_staff/>

On May 19, 2008, Ars Technica was sold to Condé Nast Digital—the online division of [[Condé Nast Publications]].<ref group=note>Condé Nast Digital was named CondéNet at the time.[http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=99121]</ref> The sale was part of a combination purchase by Condé Nast Digital of three unaffiliated websites costing $25 million dollars total: Ars Technica, [[Webmonkey]], and [[HotWired|Hot Wired]]. Ars Technica was added to the company's Wired Digital group that includes [[Wired News]] and [[Reddit]]. In an interview with ''[[The New York Times]]'', Fisher said other companies offered to buy Ars Technica, and that the site's writers agreed to a deal with Condé Nast because they felt it offered them the best chance to turn their "hobby" into a business.<ref name=nytimes_buyout/> Fisher, Stokes, and the eight other writers at the time were employed by Condé Nast, with Fisher as [[editor in chief]],<ref name=arrington/><ref name=boomtown/> and they began relocating to Chicago.<ref name=ars-v5/> [[Layoff|Layoffs]] at Condé Nast in November 2008 affected websites owned by the company "across the board", including Ars Technica.<ref name=layoffs/>

== Content ==
The content of articles published by Ars Technica has generally remained the same since its creation in 1998. Articles include commentary and opinion by the writers, and are usually accompanied by pictures for illustration, or for [[Aesthetics|aesthetic]] purposes. They are now categorized by four types: News, Guides, Reviews, and Features. News articles relay current events. Guides instruct readers on how to do things; for example, the Ars Technica System Guide that advises readers on which computer parts to buy when building a computer. Reviews give opinionated assessment of hardware and software products. Features are longer informative articles. The website's readers can post their comments and start discussions at the bottom of each article. Ars Technica also hosts OpenForum, a free [[internet forum]] for the discussion of a variety of topics.

Originally, most news articles published by the website were relayed from other technology-related websites. Ars Technica provided short commentary on the news, generally a few paragraphs, and a link to the original source. After being purchased by Conde Nast, Ars Technica began publishing more original news; investigating topics and interviewing sources themselves. A significant portion of the news articles published there now are original. Ars Technica was criticized in 2006 for quoting a [[blog|blogger]] in a news article without giving attribution for the quote; after the blogger raised the issue, the article's writer apologized and retroactively added attribution.<ref name=boomtown/> Relayed news is still published on the website, ranging from one- or two-sentences to a few paragraphs.

Ars Technica's Features are long articles that go into specific detail on their subject.<ref name=atlantic/><ref name=guardian_long_os_revs/> For example, the site published a guide on CPU architecture in 1998 named "Understanding CPU caching and performance".<ref name=old_cpu_guide/> An article in 2009 discussed in detail the [[Scientific theory|theory]], [[physics]], [[mathematical proof]]s, and applications of [[quantum computer]]s.<ref name=qubits/> The website's 18,000-word review of [[Apple Inc.]]'s [[iPad]] described everything from the product's packaging, to the specific type of [[integrated circuit]]s it uses.<ref name=ipad_review/>

Ars Technica is written in an informal, opinionated tone, as opposed to a traditional newspaper or journal, but its articles are often written by people with some expertise on the subject they are writing.<ref name=nature/><ref name=bonetta/> Many of the website's regular writers have [[Postgraduate education|postgraduate]] degrees, and many work for academic or private research institutions. Website co-founder Jon Stokes published the computer architecture textbook ''Inside The Machine'' in 2007;<ref name=inside_the_machine/> John Timmer performed [[postdoctoral research]] in [[neuroscience|developmental neurobiology]];<ref name=nature/> Timothy Lee is a scholar at the [[Cato Institute]], a [[policy institute|public policy institute]], which has republished Ars Technica articles by him.<ref name=cato/><ref name=cato_lee/> Biology journal ''[[Disease Models & Mechanisms]]'' called Ars Technica a "conduit between researchers and the public" in 2008.<ref name=dmm/>

=== Layout ===
Ars Technica's [[page layout]] has been significantly changed five time since its creation, most recently in 2009.<ref name=ars-v5/> The current layout consists of two vertical columns topped by a horizontal navigation bar, interspersed with two [[Web banner|banner advertisements]]. [[Hyperlink|Links]] on the navigation bar lead to the website's 17 sections. Any given article is listed under a section that organizes it by its general subject: Infinite Loop (Apple), Uptime ([[business]]), Gear & Gadgets (electronics), Opposable Thumbs ([[video games]]), One Microsoft Way, Open Ended ([[open source]]), Nobel Intent (science), Law & Disorder (technology [[policy]]), Hardware, Media, Security, Software, Staff (articles about Ars Technica), Telecom ([[telecommunication]]), Web, and Exploring Datacenters. The left column lists the most recent articles of all types and their associated images. The right column showcases the ten latest Features with larger pictures; below the Features, it lists aggregated news, job listings for technology companies in the United States and Canada, and other varied links.

== Revenue ==
The cost of operating Ars Technica has always been funded primarily by online advertising.<ref name=niemanlab/> Originally handled by Federated Media Publishing, selling advertising space on the website is now handled by Condé Nast.<ref name=arrington/> In addition to online advertising, Ars Technica has sold subscriptions to the website since 2001, now named Ars Premier subscriptions. Subscribers are not shown advertisements, and are able to see exclusive articles, participate in live [[chat rooms]] with notable people in the computer industry, and other benefits.<ref name=subs-faq/> To a lesser extent, revenue is also collected from content sponsorship. A series of articles about the future of collaboration was sponsored by [[IBM]],<ref name=niemanlab/> and the site's Exploring Datacenters section is sponsored by [[data management]] company [[NetApp]]. In the past, Ars Technica collected [[Revenue sharing|shared revenue]] from [[affiliate marketing]] by advertising deals and discounts from online retailers, and from the sale of Ars Technica-[[brand]]ed merchandise.<ref name=sales-merch-2001/>

===Advertisement block===
On March 5, 2010, Ars Technica experimentally blocked readers who use [[Adblock|Adblock Plus]]—one of several computer programs that stop advertisements from being displayed in their [[Web browser|browser]]—from viewing the website. Fisher estimated 40% of the website's readers had the software installed at the time. The next day, the block was lifted, and he published the article "Why Ad Blocking is devastating to the sites you love" on Ars Technica persuading readers not to use the software on websites they care about:<ref name=niemanlab/>

{{quote|text=... blocking ads can be devastating to the sites you love. I am not making an argument that blocking ads is a form of stealing, or is immoral, or unethical [...] It can result in people losing their jobs, it can result in less content on any given site, and it definitely can affect the quality of content. It can also put sites into a real advertising death spin.}}

The block and article were controversial, generating articles on other websites about them, and the broader issue of advertising ethics.<ref name=asay_abp/><ref name=wsj_abp/> Readers of Ars Technica generally followed Fisher's persuasion; the day after his article was published, 25,000 readers who used the software had allowed the display of advertisements on Ars Technica in their browser, and 200 readers had subscribed to Ars Premier.<ref name=niemanlab/> Adblock Plus developer Wladimir Palant responded, stating that blocking advertisements in general is justified because websites receive revenue from them regardless of whether they are seen or ignored by readers:<ref name=Palant-response/>

{{quote|text=Only an ad that generates a sale (either directly because the user clicked it or indirectly via brand awareness and similar) provides value. If you see yourself being paid without providing a value than you either tricked whoever is paying you [...] or it is a temporary state where whoever is paying you didn’t adjust to the new realities yet.}}
