 The [[http://opendefinition.org/ | definition of open knowledge]] is still a subject of
 discussion. At this time, I tend to boycot those online web services that make it
 intentionally hard bulk access to data created collaboratively by their users.
-Examples of badly behaving sites are [[http://www.imdb.com | IMDB]] and
-[[http://flickr.com | Flickr]].
-
-My current personal policy is to use these services in read-only mode, without
-helping them collect even more information.

-Call me a fundamentalist for going through these hoops, but I believe I'm acting in

+Examples of such badly behaving sites are [[http://www.imdb.com | IMDB]] and

+substantial portions of their data, if you can. On the other end of the spectrum,
+the [[http://wikipedia.org | Wikipedia]] provides an interface to dump the
+entire database, including the history of edits. This is what we should demand
