Mr. Tomita Michio, a founder and a caller of the Internet library "Aozora Bunko", died today at 12:08 pm on the 16 th.

Mr. Tomita founded the Internet library "Aozora Bunko" together with the people of other callers, as soon as noticing the possibilities of e-books, in addition to writing work such as personal computer books and books of space development. Even in the issue of copyright extension, it is also a fighter who has fought with clarifying the opposite position. And I have been able to fight disease for many years.

Mr. Tomita was appealing hotly to the history of Aozora Bunko, the meaning of existence, and copyright issues more than anytime at the venue of last year's e-book expo. I was relieved somewhat, feeling the enthusiasm of every occasion that I do not think it is very fighting.

It is a sudden death. It always suddenly begins, but suddenly it passes.

Originally Mr. Tomita had a sickness, conversely it retired in about 38 years old as a trigger, and it is revealed in the following interview that it leads to the creation of the current aozora bunko.

N.O.M:
Mr. Tomita himself, what kind of work did you do until the establishment of Aozora Bunko?

Tomita:
From magazine reporters he was doing composition of television, freelance writer and so on. From that time on, personal computers came in, and as one of themes, I was writing something like the history of computer society. The Aozora Bunko is what I do with the rest of my life.

N.O.M:
The rest of your life?

Tomita:
Oh yeah, do Early retirement. Because I was sick at about 38 years old and forced to retire. Well, I wonder if I can do something.

● I am at the mercy of sickness

Okuda"Personal computer Genesis" It was a terrible book. He thought that he would do a good job in the future but one day he seemed to break his brush. I listen to what I entered, but what happened?

TomitaI am sick. My course of my life has bent a lot because of my illness. I am a high school student since I wish for a writer. Several series came out, and I began to think that "I can do it with this", I was struck if you were not a body that could jump around in the interview.

The first book is the original "Personal Computer Genesis" which came out from Otsubusa Bunko. I covered in the fall of 1984 and published in February 1985. The microcomputer sales section of the NEC Semiconductor division compiled the circumstances to create and sell personal computers that did not exist in the world until then. Computer mainstream is the story before the PC-9801 is issued. After that, in addition to printing, I started to work on television as well. In April 1990, I went to an interview with science fiction writer Isaac Asimov at television work. I could not stay in New York for 24 hours and flipped back, but I wrote the manuscripts on the way back and forth in the airplane. So, I fell down shortly after returning home. It is supposed to repeat hospital admission for three years.

OkudaI was sick. I have not heard much about the story of sickness, and I have not touched almost any sentences at the time.

Things copyright protects

Of six books in my book, the four volumes have already been out-of-print. The reason why it disappeared quickly and did not enter the bunker is that it can not be sold in short. A book that has finished his life as a product can not be obtained even if he wrote it.

There are two wishes when writing a book. One thing I want you to think about is one. Another thing is to make money. I am spending time and effort before I finish writing, so I feel strongly that I managed to recover that part.

The second profitable wish has a bouncer called copyright. The law has decided that somebody will make a book without permission and not to make any profit. However, this provision protects me only while writing it has value as a product. For the majority of writers, my relationship with copyright is not long.

Publishers, on the other hand, have no break between copyrights. Instead of delivering something to the writer, they exclude others and monopolize book making as a product. A true partner of copyright that looks like a guardian of a writer is nothing but a publisher.

The troublesome thing about the paper books that the publisher makes is that they can be sold at the same time as the two wishes come at the same time as a result that results can not be sold. Since money is given up, even if they offer to live at least as a book, there is no room for the publisher to respond. A book that can not be sold is also taken as an asset on the form, it costs tax. If it does not stand bad, you can not do it for reprint with money. Thus the book is chopped up and left out of stock.

In this publishing world, there was not anything like a supporter in "wanting to be read" which is one piece of two wishes. Gully version and copying machine, at most, the printer is stolen. However, the struggle of the ebook I found is quite strong, so it is reliable.
