Clear, precise...and problematic 02/10/2004 02:51 AM
Orkut embodies two of the weaknesses inherent in artificial social networks: it requires us to be clear and precise. Those are virtues when it comes to invoices and jury verdicts, but they are how real social networks are not built. The precision shows up in the digital choices we're given: Is Phil your friend or not? If he is, is he one-star, two-star or three-star sexy? Choices you are not given include: (i) Sort of sexy. (ii) Could be sexy if he dressed better. (iii) If I were a woman, I think I'd find him sort of sexy if I...

Clear Channel Playing Dirty with Bands
selling Music 05/25/2004 07:05 AM

Let's say you and your buddies don't know how to play musical instruments and yet you decide to form a band. You open your garage door and play like there is no tomorrow. The police come and actually shut you down because it was so bad that all your neighbors have complained. Now imagine you have recorded that music and offer it immediately for-sale to anyone that wants to purchase a
copy of your horrid noise. Several days later you get a notice from Clear Channel saying you have to purchase a license in order to legally sell that music immediately after each show.

Is this not the most ridiculous things you have ever heard. Well it seems Clear Channel is squashing popular bands that want to sell immediate recordings of concerts they have just performed. If your willing to buy a license to do so then you are good to go. The audacity of doing this is shocking. [Techdirt]
