Quote:Yale University Beinecke Library. The Beineckerare book library is Yale University’s principal reposi-tory for literary papers, early manuscripts, and rarebooks. It also houses the Yale Collections of AmericanLiterature, of German Literature, and of WesternAmericana. These collections support research inmedieval, Renaissance, and 18th-century art; art his-tory and literature; photography; printing history; andmodernism in art and literature. IBM’s work with theBeinecke began in 1996 and has afforded studentsaccess to rare materials by making it easy and inex-pensive to obtain reproductions (see Figure 5). TheBeinecke intends worldwide access but is limiting useto the Yale campus during the first year of digital ser-vices to give itself time to look into intellectual prop-erty issues. The initial focus for digitization was itsphotonegative collection—13,000 monochrome and500 color transparencies. On request, items are pho-tographed and patrons receive a print while the Bei-necke keeps the negatives for later reproduction. Thismethodology creates a user-selected digital collectionrepresenting a broad sample of the library’s holdings.Since this first project, the Beinecke also scanned 80papyri (in color) and 2,000 photographic negativesfrom a Western American photograph collection andis currently scanning 500 illuminated manuscriptfragments.The Beinecke’s property rights concerns are similarto the Vatican Library’s: prevention of reuse of imagesin popular art, protection of the Library’s good name,and possible cost recovery through service fees. Anadditional concern is that part of the Beinecke’s collec-tion is subject to copyrights held by people outsideYale. The only protections (beyond the usual physicalones) the library is using are watermarking and, for thefirst year of service, limiting Internet access to on-cam-pus workstations. The Beinecke has not yet decidedwhether it will use watermarks indefinitely.

Quote:An ISBN is an International Standard Book Number. ISBNs were 10 digits in length up to the end of December 2006, but since 1 January 2007 they now always consist of 13 digits.

There is clearly a real person behind all this.
It might be "Kenanidhs". It's also very possible that it is not.
Everything looks almost normal on the surface.
The online landscape and search results look very different today versus back in 2009. A lot of work has gone into this over the years. As I mentioned earlier, if this is what I think it is, it is truly a work of art.
Or it might be nothing.
I am hesitant to post what I really believe, because there is a chance that I am wrong, and I don't want to make public accusations against someone.
And in the end, this game has harmed no one.
