Argentine philosophy prof faces prison time for posting unofficial translations of out of print Derrida texts
Horacio Potel, an Argentine philosophy professor at Universidad Nacional de Lanús,, faces criminal charges -- and possible jail time -- for posting unofficial translations of seminal Jacques Derrida texts to his site where his students could see them. Most of these texts were out of print, or had never been translated. Now a publisher is bringing a few of these books into Argentina, and they're trying to get this prof imprisoned for supporting Derrida while he was unavailable.El turno de los profesores, prisión por subir obras protegidas a Internet (Thanks, Carolina!)
