<br />
Today, 5 years ago we launched No Safe Harbor, our first book. While we intended for a second to follow, for many reasons that didn't happen.... yet.<br />
<br />
However, don't assume that means it won't happen at all. The second edition is almost finished, and the second book is coming along now that myself and Brad Hall have mostly worked through the many other things that were occupying our time.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, we still have a soft spot in our hearts for the first edition of No Safe Harbor (and mine is even autographed by some of the authors).<br />
<br />
So here's to you, the readers, who have proven there's No Safe Harbor for the enemies of liberty.<br />
<br />

A combination of personal issues, new jobs, and increased activism on our topics, has meant that myself and Bradley have been unable to work on this project as much as we'd like to.<br />
<br />
In fact, hardly at all.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
There is a reason for that - we do this book for love; love of freedom, love of sharing, and love of education. As a result, we made a decision to not make a penny on this book (or any successors). We are more than happy to give away the ebook for free. The dead-tree version does cost, but any money above costs doesn't go to us, it goes to the Pirate Party. So, to keep a roof over our heads, and food on our tables, we have to prioritize our everyday jobs.<br />
<br />
However, we have an amazing announcement to make now, in that No Safe Harbor has been listed for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times_Book_Prize" target="_blank">LA Times Book Prize</a> in the Current Interest category.<br />
<br />
WOOHOO!<br />
<br />
This is the first we've been able to tell you about it, because we've been under embargo until today, but we got the letter from Guy Montag about a week ago.<br />
<br />
With this new surge of enthusiasm and a new wave of readers that are sure to pick up the book, we should get No Safe Harbor 2 on track soon!<br />
<br />
Have more details in a bit.<br />
<br />
<i><b>UPDATE</b> (April 2): Or not at all, as it wasn't true. April Fools!</i><br />

<br />
In that time, there’s been tens of thousands of downloads, both from the direct links on the top left of this site, and via the torrents available around the net (from the pirate bay, to the Canadian Pirate Party).<br />
<br />
There have also been significant physical sales, greater than I expected, and probably greater than Brad expected too. These sales have been worldwide, from the UK to the opposite side of the world, in Australia. And we thank you.<br />
<br />
We’re also thankful that so many of you are asking about No Safe Harbor 2, and who are eagerly looking forward to it. We are as well.<br />
<br />
I know that, initially, our plans were for it to be out December 1, 2012. Unfortunately, plans change. Both myself and Bradley have had other commitments that literally could not be put on hold while we worked on the book. Some were personal, but some also included actively working on the very issues and topics these books cover. When we have a chance to act, we hope you can forgive us for acting, and saving the telling for another day.<br />
<br />
We are still working on No Safe Harbor 2. I’ve spent the last week preparing the backend stuff. Brad has been working on the texts. We hope that the book will at the very least be at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_copy" target="_blank">eARC</a> stage within the next month. <br />
<br />
I hope you'll support that as strongly as you have No Safe Harbor.<br />
<br />
Yours,<br />

Any length from 500 words up (or indeed artwork or other book-suitable material) is welcomed. As long as it relates to one of the three Pirate Planks:<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Government & Corporate accountability and transparency</li>
<li>Personal Privacy</li>
<li>Copyright/Patent/Trademark reform</li>
</ol><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It can be a fictional story, an academic paper, a long-form blog post or anything in between. It can focus on things in your country, another country or a comparison between them. The idea behind the book is a collective sense of why we're pirates, and what we do and don't like.<br />
<br />
The only thing we ask is that it is in English (and if you're worried about the quality of your English, we can help there). But we need it (in at the very least 'final draft form' this weekend. That way we can get it out on time December 1st.K`Tetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12923661185364709506noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803287601275816057.post-82918120046940844762012-08-01T10:22:00.002-07:002012-08-01T10:22:27.695-07:00No Safe Harbor 2 - One Month and CountingOnly one month to go for submissions to No Safe Harbor 2.<br />

For those still wondering about what is needed, and what's suitable, here's a quick rundown.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>First</b>, topic. It has to be 'on topic'. The book has 3 topics. They are<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Government and Corporate Transparency and Accountability</li>
<li>Personal Privacy</li>
<li>Copyright, Patent and Trademark reform</li>
</ol><div>If you have something that fits one of those three categories, it fits.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Second</b>, Fact or fiction. It doesn't have to be factual. While of course it should be based in facts, a fictional story that illustrates a point works just as well. Travis McCrea's "<i>Criminal of Innocence</i>" was a fictional story in NSH that told of how surveillance can lead to mistakes that spark unrest. If it has a viewpoint, and is not wildly unrealistic, then it's completely suitable.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Third</b>, Length. It doesn't have to be extremely long. Brevity can have an impact by itself. "<i>Privacy now, Nothing Later</i>" by Ryan Moffitt is only a few hundred words long. You're not expected to fill the book yourself, so don't aim to be long if you don't need to be. Good writing is better than long writing. Just look at how frustrating this paragraph is getting, when I'm just saying the same things over and over, and try to avoid it. So don't use more words to say something when less will do!</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Fourth</b>, Source/reprinting. If you've put it on your blog before, that doesn't matter. If you've released it in another book, that 'might' be an issue, but on their side not ours. If it was a speech you gave, and you want to send us the text, all are fine. If you need help changing the format (or indeed changing the language or phrasing) to cope with the change of format to a book, let us know, we can work with you.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Fifth</b>, Licensing. We only ask for a non-exclusive (meaning we don't want to be the only one) Worldwide (the internet is global) commercial license (so we can sell the book). If you've previously licensed the work to someone else (for a different book) then you'll need to discuss the terms of that license with us, and your publisher there, to ensure there are no conflicts. Again, contact us.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Sixth</b>, Royalties. We don't pay for pieces. This book is as much a fundraiser for the Pirate Party, as it is about spreading ideas. The book is distributed under a Creative Commons license. The eBook is free. Any money gained from the sales of the paperback, helps spread the ideas of the party. We, the editors don't see a penny of it either. We end up out-of-pocket in fact when it comes to getting proofs done. For the same reason, contributors will not get a free print version (but should be able to get a reduced price copy) but will get a free eBook edition a few weeks early.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Seventh</b>, Timeline. The deadline for submissions is September 1 2012. This then gives us 2-3 months to ensure everything is correct, with no typos, bad formatting, garbled images or any other issues. The launch date is currently December 1st 2012. If this changes, we'll update things as soon as we know.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>Eighth</b>, Cover. We're divided on this. Brad would like a variant of the cover from NSH, giving it cohesion as a series. Despite designing that cover, I hate it, and would like to offer the cover out as a contest. Which do you, our readers and followers, think is the better idea? Let us know!</div><div><br />
</div><div>I hope this update answers some questions some of you have had. If not, don't hesitate to contact either <a href="mailto:press@nosafeharbor.com" target="_blank">myself</a> or <a href="mailto:editor@nosafeharbor.com" target="_blank">Brad</a></div><div><br />

<br />
We are happy to announce the opening of submissions for No Safe Harbor 2, currently set for release December 1, 2012. Just like the last book, we are going to have the following three sections in the book:<br />
<br />
Government accountability and transparency<br />
Personal Privacy<br />
Copyright/Patent/Trademark reform and abuse.<br />
<br />
The deadline for submissions is set for September 1, 2012.<br />
<br />
Please send submissions and other ideas to brad.hall@pirate-party.us. Oh, and just like the last book, we would like to have some comics in it as well.<br />
<br />
We already have a few essays being worked on. Those are:<br />
<br />
An essay on education in Florida<br />
An essay about mashups and remixes <br />
A piece on using TOR, haystacking, and other anonymizers online<br />
<br />
We're planning for this book to be written by Pirates for Pirates, so if you consider yourself a Pirate (anywhere in the world), please contact us about getting in this book. Just like the last book, we plan on having it available in several digital formats and in paperback form.<br />
<br />
Thank you, and rock on.Brad Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16246470938148235526noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803287601275816057.post-60073172767769416972012-03-20T15:27:00.001-07:002012-03-29T18:32:42.430-07:00No Safe Harbor 2 AnnouncedWell, it seems that No Safe Harbor has been very popular. So much so, that we’ve decided we’re going to do another one. With a planned release date of December 1, 2012, it would be a perfect gift for your loved one.<br /><br />As before, we’re going to keep it to the three main areas of Pirate Party policy:<br /><br /><ul><li>Government accountability and transparency</li><li>Personal Privacy</li><li>Copyright/Patent/Trademark reform and abuse.</li></ul><br /><br />Unlike the first book, in which most of the book was comprised of material from people who are not Pirate Party members, we’re going to have a slightly different policy this time. We want all but one piece in each section to be by a Pirate Party member. So no matter where in the world you are, if you’re a Pirate Party member, we want to hear from you. Even if you do not consider yourself a Pirate Party member, but are sympathetic to our cause and have a good idea for an essay, you're welcome to submit.<br /><br />We will be releasing the details of how to submit for consideration later, but as a rough timetable, we expect the cutoff for submissions to be around September 1 2012, so that we can get the book prepped and out by December 1st.<br /><br />More details will follow.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1468033999" target="_blank">BUY IT AT AMAZON.COM</a> - Price $9.99<br /><br />Torrent - <a href="http://bit.ly/x5gtHe" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/x5gtHe</a> (or as a <a href="magnet:?xt=urn:btih:79ADFF2965C672CC66F2AD54D67857BD3BAEEC61&dn=NoSafeHarbor_eBooks-USPirateParty&tr=http%3a//www.pirateparty.ca/tracker/announce.php">Magnet</a>)<br />TXT - <a href="http://bit.ly/xrPGl5" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/xrPGl5</a><br />ODT - <a href="http://bit.ly/zC6TE1" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/zC6TE1</a><br />RTF - <a href="http://bit.ly/xHI7MO" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/xHI7MO</a><br />PDF - <a href="http://bit.ly/xVI0t1">http://bit.ly/xVI0t1</a><br />MOBI - <a href="http://bit.ly/wtYRQQ" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/wtYRQQ</a><br />EPUB - <a href="http://bit.ly/zt99zw" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/zt99zw</a><br /><br />Contact Info<br /><a href="mailto:brad.hall@pirate-party.us">brad.hall@pirate-party.us</a><br />+1 352-658-3824<br />Or on Twitter <a href="http://twitter.com/nosafeharbor" target="_blank">@nosafeharbor</a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjWt_bXzwSTmeIffAgmG5IenjZ0pfY9ISbYiccM3ISoQiaT6_xRPWpt7GEWR8mJ-LzlBfqpZNfeaTFmyrWjIwEYWFtsLC56t6lFCXEm258IedT9UoaoqO3XBf300rEYeNxFFuLg_CtgU/s1600/no-safe-harbor-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjWt_bXzwSTmeIffAgmG5IenjZ0pfY9ISbYiccM3ISoQiaT6_xRPWpt7GEWR8mJ-LzlBfqpZNfeaTFmyrWjIwEYWFtsLC56t6lFCXEm258IedT9UoaoqO3XBf300rEYeNxFFuLg_CtgU/s400/no-safe-harbor-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>K`Tetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12923661185364709506noreply@blogger.com156tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803287601275816057.post-54692758409356483402012-02-13T12:33:00.000-08:002012-02-13T12:47:25.046-08:00No Safe Harbor 2We are pleased with the amount of publicity No Safe Harbor has gotten. Thank you, keep spreading it around.<br /><br />That said, we plan on releasing <span style="font-style:italic;">No Safe Harbor 2: Still No Safe Harbor</span> later this year. We will take into account all of the comments and concerns we have received from the first book and put that toward making the next one better than the original.<br /><br />We plan on keeping the same three sections in the next book, those being Government and Corporate Transparency and Accountability, Personal Privacy, and Copyright, Patent, and Trademark Reform.<br /><br />We also want to include more, varied, comics.<br /><br />That's where you come in.<br /><br />Ever since the beginning of the Pirate Party, we have used a boat metaphorically to describe the United States. You are all on this boat. It is your pirate voice that should be at the forefront of this series.<br /><br />To that end, we ask you, all of the people on this boat, to participate. Do you have an idea for an essay? Even if you yourself aren't capable of writing it, submit your idea. We'll see if we can work with you on it.<br /><br />Here's a few of the ideas we would like to see in the next book:<br /><br />Net Neutrality, Internet Literacy, Basic Internet Access For All, Election Reform, Ranked Choice Instant Runoff Voting, Public Financing of Elections, Separating Corporations From Political Power, Open Sourced Solutions, ACTA and PIPA.<br /><br />And if it's not listed, but you have an idea, let us know.<br /><br />And of course comics that mention these topics as well.<br /><br />The editor of the No Safe Harbor series can be reached at brad.hall@pirate-party.us or you could comment in this thread.Brad Hallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16246470938148235526noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803287601275816057.post-30521254960390447882012-01-31T11:15:00.001-08:002012-01-31T14:40:30.217-08:00No Safe Harbor - First Week Statistics<div>Woohoo! </div><div><br /></div><div>No Safe Harbor has received a great deal of attention during its first week!
