The response is an attempt to "configure the users" -- constrain
behavior to acceptable behavior with messaaging, kicking people
off, etc.
This won't work: you can't tell a hacker not to hack. These kids
are social hackers. You can stop some bad behavior, but you chase
off your best users, too.
Dating doesn't happen because you're in a dating context. Dating
arises out of real contexts.
Taking away fakesters didn't make Frienster more real. Friendster
is unreal because people never remove their friends, even if they
never see them (the exception is when you break up, ironic,
because ex-lovers are strong ties!).

Jack Valenti says stupid things --
really, really stupid things
08/03/2004 07:46 PMTim Wu has rounded up some of the dumbest things that Jack Valenti
said -- and he's found some real howlers, things that make Jack's
infamous condemnation of the VCR ("the Boston Stranger of the American
film industry") look like a walk in the park.
On the nascent cable industry, in 1974
"[Cable will become] a huge parasite in the marketplace, feeding and
fattening itself off of local television stations and copyright owners
of copyrighted material. We do not like it because we think it wrong
and unfair."
On the dangers on media concentration, 1984 Op-Ed
"Will a democratic society allow just three corporate entities to
wield unprecedented dominion over television, the most decisive voice
in the land? There are now only three national networks .... There
will never be more than three national networks."
On the public domain, 1995
"A public domain work is an orphan. No one is responsible for its
life. But everyone exploits its use, until that time certain when it
becomes soiled and haggard, barren of its previous virtues. How does
the consumer benefit from the steady decline of a film's quality?"

Innovation Is More Important Than
Invention
Innovation Is More Important Than
Invention
04/29/2004 04:25 PMWe recently posted an MIT Tech Review story looking at
the
return of "inventors" instead of innovators. The article named
the well known "great inventors" from a century ago. In the comments,
someone properly took me to task for simply parroting the line about
these inventors, when most of the stories about their "inventions"
were mythical. Now, Michael Schrage (again at MIT's Tech Review) is
arguing convincingly that for all the hype around inventors,
in
novation is much more important - and (more importantly) is
entirely separate from invention. He names the same "inventors" named
in the original article and points out that the truth of the matter is
that they were all innovators rather than inventors (and its only the
distance of history that has rewritten their stories as if they were
inventors). He points out that invention has nothing to do with
commercial success - whereas innovation has everything to do with it.
Furthermore, this ties into the ongoing debate over patent reform:
"If you want to learn about the importance of "invention" over the
past 300 years, talk to the lawyers. If you want to hear about the
importance of "innovation," however, talk to anyone else." So, the
real question then, is whether or not our intellectual property system
should be encouraging invention or innovation? I'd vote for
innovation, as that's what drives the economy, and that would suggest
we need fewer lawyers involved with the patent system, and perhaps
more innovators. The following point is also important: "the technical
excellence of an invention matters far less than the economic
willingness of the customer or client to explore it." In other words,
any system designed to encourage innovation needs to encourage
actually making use of the innovation - and not, for example, sitting
on a patent and doing nothing with it, while waiting for others to
innovate and then hitting them with a patent infringement lawsuit.
Answering a Very Important Call
Answering a Very Important Call
04/09/2004 05:14 PMIt's been a few hours beyond 365 days since I last hosted Call for
Help on TechTV. That streak is about to be broken. I've been invited
to "fill in the blank" for a couple of non-live shows on Monday; these
recordings will air on Wednesday and Thursday. My schedule was clear,
my mind was ready, and my heart is willing. There has been much
speculation as to what happened to me - even though most Gnomies know
that I've been here all along, long before the first ZDTV broadcast. I
don't know if I'll be asked to help them again in the future, but I'll
welcome this opportunity (and any others) with open arms. Take it for
what it is: another chance to say 'hello' to millions of old friends.
No doubt, this bit of news will shock a few faithful viewers, but I'm
doing what I can do to ensure that the show (proverbially) goes on
until Leo can return. I promise to cut my coffee consumption in half
that morning, just to be on the safe side. Not nervous, just very
excited - overjoyed, actually. If you can tune in, please do. If you
can send feedback, it's most welcome. I'll probably photoblog my
fingers off, since I won't be staying in SF for much longer than a
day. I hate saying this because it sounds incredibly trite, but this
is a dream come true. Yes, I've had nocturnal visions about returning
to the set I once called 'home base.' Just for grins, I'll be active
in the official CFH chat room when the episodes are first run - a
luxury one host can afford when everything's produced to tape. Perhaps
we'll be able to break a few records before all is said and done? They
don't really make LPs anymore. I wonder if busting a cassette tape is
just as good? Regardless, a fun time is set to be had by all involved.
From director to production assistant, it takes a lot of hands to make
one hour come off without a hitch. To some, I'll be a new face. To
others, old hat. To everybody else, the same little guy who fell off a
14' camper when he was in the seventh grade. True story, and I've got
the slightly-curved spine to prove it. I'd tell you more about that,
but... I've got an overnight bag to pack. FYI, I'll be on David's show
to talk about this whole thing in a few hours....

Why Removal of DRM from iTunes is So
Important
Why Removal of DRM from iTunes is So
Important
03/25/2005 05:28 PMWe have all read about Jon Johansen’s PyMusique
application which allowed purchasing and downloading of music from
iTunes Music Store without the normal DRM attached. Since you still
have to pay for the songs, many folks have asked me why it’s so
important. Here’s why.
Apple plans on starting a subscription service to compete with
Napsters. But if they have no control over the songs downloaded from a
subscription service, they have no method of stopping the music after
you stop paying. Right now, Napster takes back your music when you
stop paying. Imagine subbing for one month and downloading thousands
of songs and then walking away with them. It will never happen. As
long as the DRM busting software is out there, you will never see a
subscription service from Apple.

Upstream Speeds Getting To Be More
Important
Upstream Speeds Getting To Be More
Important
06/08/2004 12:26 PMBroadband companies have been so focused on downstream speeds, they've
pretty much ignored the fact that one of the benefits of having an
always on connection is that it allows people to do things upstream as
well. It's a symptom of the "broadcast" mentality of broadband
companies who think the only reason to go online is to download
content - and not to communicate with others or to create and offer
your own content. However, what things like peer-to-peer systems have
shown is that upstream speeds are increasingly important as well - and
we're starting to see a tiny shift where broadband
providers are starting to increase the speeds and
talk about
their upstream speeds as well (rather than hiding them in the fine
print). Of course, many are still worried about any kind of server
application coming out of the home and how it will impact bandwidth,
but as with downstream broadband, there isn't going to be much they
can do to stop it. As new applications come out that make more use of
upstream bandwidth providers who offer higher bandwidth heading
upstream will start to get more business.

How Do You Save Important Emails?
12/24/2003 02:36 PMYou know all those books full of letters written by famous people?
Now that everything is email, will such things be possible in the
future? The first reaction is that it only makes it more likely,
since people are much more likely to write down their thoughts these
days and send them to people, but some folks are
concerned about how such correspondences will be saved. They're
worried that there's no good way to save digital contents, and that
anything you do will be obsolete a decade from now. Many people even
recommend printing out and keeping a paper archive of important
emails. Of course, these days, it seems that most systems have a
pretty straight upgrade path from old formats to new. The only area
where a real problem may arise is if someone didn't upgrade their
email system for ages and all the standards changed and the digital
media storage eroded. I think a bigger problem may be in picking out
the valuable correspondences from all the spam and forwards and junk
and unimportant emails.

conflict with any other rights -- a federal court ruled yesterday that
a company that makes interoperable remotes for other companies' garage
door openers isn't violating federal copyright law.
