I have been watching the commentary grow over the proposed Pirate Act which is getting a lot of press over the past week and a lot of people are very worried that the government is going to start wholesale prosecutions of people who share music / software on the Internet. I need more information before I can
really come to a conclusion but it will be interesting to see how this is going to turn out. [ArsTechnica] [Dan Gillmor]

Help Cory pirate his own story! 09/01/2004 01:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: Science Fiction World, a Chinese magazine, recently published an issue with a translation of my story "Nimby and the D-Hoppers" (originally published in June 2003). They didn't ask first, so technically this is a "pirate" edition, but hell, I'm not all that worked up about it -- I'm pretty pumped to know that there are people in China reading my stuff (and for what it's worth, foreign publishers usually pay teeny little pittances for translation rights to short stories).

My only peeve here is that they never sent me a copy, and never put their translation on the Web. I sent 'em some email but they never answered.

So here's my challenge to the lazyweb: track down a copy of the September issue of Science Fiction World and re-type the story that starts on page 12 ("Technological Opposition and the Dimension-Hopper") and send it to me. I'll post it on the Internet and make it available under a Creative Commons license for free reproduction. Link (Thanks, Joel!)

Pirate radio workshops

Pirate radio workshops 05/07/2004 04:23 PM
Radio Free Berkeley is giving workshops on how to build your own pirate^H^H^H^H^H^H^H low-power FM radio station, and what to do when the radio cops come a-knockin'.

Building your own station is also illegal. Dunifer advises his students to enlist the help of an attorney before hopping the airwaves. But he describes microbroadcasting as "electronic civil disobedience" rather than a typical criminal act.

"As far as I'm concerned, the real pirates are the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and their member stations," Dunifer said, referring to the powerful lobbying group. "They've stolen the airwaves with the full complicity of the FCC and Congress."

Senate approves PIRATE act

Senate approves PIRATE act 06/26/2004 02:42 AM
Today, the U.S. Senate approved a proposal that will give federal prosecutors the power to file civil lawsuits against suspected copyright infringers -- penalties include fines up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The so-called Pirate Act has raised alarms among copyright lawyers and lobbyists for peer-to-peer companies, who have been eyeing the recording industry's lawsuits against thousands of peer-to-peer users with trepidation. They worry that the Department of Justice could be even more ambitious.

Senate leaders scheduled Friday's vote under a procedure that required the unanimous consent of all members present. Now the Pirate Act, along with a related bill that criminalizes using camcorders in movie theaters, will be forwarded to the House of Representatives for approval.

The Big Sony BMG Pirate Battle 06/17/2005 06:14 PM

Arrrr! Sony BMG is unveiling a new CD technology to provide a “speed bump” for those nasty pirates. The new CDs only allow for three duplicates to be made and can only be ripped to a computer in a protected format. Legal problems are already arising, though; the protected rip format forbids the music from being put onto the Apple iPod, so BMG is sending emails to inquiring customers with instructions on a backdoor route around this problem. Nice one, Sony!

Cory Doctorow: I ran into the editors of Science Fiction World, the Chinese magazine that translated and printed my story "Nimby and the D-Hoppers" without asking (or even letting me know!), at the WorldCon. They gave me a copy of the issue, which has super-cool anime-style illos, and have promised to send me the text electronically to post under a Creative Commons license when they get back to China.

They say that they have a deal with the Chinese copyright office where if they give a royalty to the office, they get permission to translate and publish the story -- this sounds to me like a weird, and somewhat wishful reading of the appendix to the Berne agreement on the compulsory translation right.

In any event, I'm not all that out-of-sorts about this (I wasn't to begin with, and less so now that I've made some peace with them). I'll let you know if they come through with the electronic text and post it once they do -- thanks so much for all the support on this, it was really cool to see everyone spring into action (and I had no idea that Boing Boing/I had so many Chinese-speaking/residing readers!).
