Google Art Project piraté pour le bien de la culture libre
Ce mois-ci Google a révélé son intiative Google Art Project , qui a soulevé l'admiration partout dans le monde. La firme de Mountain View donne accès à la visite virtuelle de 17 musées, et permet de scruter plus de 1000 tableaux photographiés en haute résolution.

Un problème soulevé sur son blog par Adrienne Alix, la présidente de Wikimédia France, et détaillé dans un excellent article d'Ecrans . Plutôt que d'ouvrir son catalogue d'œuvres numérisées, Google a créé une interface entièrement en Flash qui ne permet pas le téléchargement des toiles.
