SCO: Winners and Losers
SCO: Winners and Losers
11/19/2003 11:49 AMThe end game in the SCO fiasco is at hand. IBM's dissection of SCO's
discovery wish-list is covered in exquisite detail at Groklaw. As
yesterday's conference call demonstrated, SCO's lawyers are being
forced to make increasingly bizarre arguments to just stay in the
game. The company's last substantive filing demanded that the court
find the GPL invalid and unconstitutional, and all software released
under the GPL in the last three years to be public domain. At this
point, it appears the entire SCO case will devolve to the nuts and
bolts of contract agreements between IBM and AT&T. If you believe
that IBM lawyers are stupid and sloppy, and have been for the last 20
years, then you might believe SCO has a chance. I don't.

Music licensing and American Idol
Music licensing and American Idol
05/26/2004 03:25 PMThe New York Times published an article about
how the music industry influences song choice on American Idol
today. I've long suspected that contestant song choice was limited to
what the show could afford to pay in licensing costs ahead of time,
since the choices of songs to cover seem limited. A producer of the
show is quoted heavily stating that many songs are off-limits due to
audience preferences and style, but does let slip that any songs by
Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Shania Twain are completely
off-limits to the show. That's disappointing, since MJ and the Beatles
are cultural icons, both selling one of the top ten music albums of
all time.
Historically, there's always been some legal leeway to allow for
cover songs, though as
this musician found out, the process can be a lengthy one to get
the rights to everything you want to record.

American Idol Too Popular For The Phone
System?
American Idol Too Popular For The Phone
System?
05/17/2004 03:04 AM
It appears that Fox is feeling the impact of the "Idol Voting Effect."
While perhaps not as well known in techie circles as the "Slashdot
Effect" of taking down a website when Slashdot points to you, Fox is
trying to talk its way around reports that the company's phone lines
couldn
't handle the rush of phone calls from folks looking to vote in the
latest American Idol TV show. Apparently the problem was caused
by jammed local phone lines, rather than long distance phone lines.
Also, it sounds like the way around the problem was to just use text
messaging - since those appeared to go through without a problem.
Either way, when you know you have such a popular event coming up, you
would think that the show would make an extra effort to make sure such
problems wouldn't occur or come up with simple workarounds in case
they do.

last week I was trolling the web looking for web-to-SMS gateways to
see if one could write a bot to vote-spam an American Idol contestant.
To hear that folks are using automated dialers to shut out voters
seems even more obvious. They should probably just make the voting a
900 number, at say, 50 cents a vote, in order to limit hackery but
people could still simply jam the lines with DoS attacks using
dialers.
