Made it to Taiwan







Made it to Taiwan

Made it to Taiwan 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

I'm sitting in a conference room in the Yahoo! Taiwan office in Taipei. It took a bit of futzing, but we managed to get on the network. The flight from Korea was just over 2 hours and a bit bumpy. Presentations start soon. I'm giving mine tomorrow, after Rasmus. It's gonna be a busy 1.5 days, but hopefully we'll get a chance to sneak out at night and go RAM shopping. :-) Anyone need some cheap memory?...

Aaron Swartz - Downloading Isn't
Stealing


Aaron Swartz - Downloading Isn't
Stealing
01/09/2004 10:12 PM
The New York Times Upfront asked me to contribute a short piece to a point/counterpoint they were having on download. (I would defend downloading, of course.) I thought I managed to write a pretty good piece, especially for its size and audience, in a couple days. But then I found out my piece was cut because the Times had decided not to tell kids to break the law. So, from the graveyard, here it is.

Stealing is wrong. But downloading isn’t stealing. If I shoplift an album from my local record store, no one else can buy it. But when I download a song, no one loses it and another person gets it. There’s no ethical problem.

Music companies blame a fifteen percent drop in sales since 2000 on downloading. But over the same period, there was a recession, a price hike, a 25% cut in new releases, and a lack of popular new artists. Factoring all that in, maybe downloading increases sales. And 90% of the catalog of the major labels isn’t for sale anymore. The Internet is the only way to hear this music.

Even if downloading did hurt sales, that doesn’t make it unethical. Libraries and video stores (neither of which pay per rental) hurt sales too. Is it unethical to use them?

Downloading may be illegal. But 60 million people used Napster and only 50 million voted for Bush or Gore. We live in a democracy. If the people want to share files then the law should be changed to let them.

And there’s a fair way to change it. A Harvard professor found that a $60/yr. charge for broadband users would make up for all lost revenues. The government would give it to the affected artists and, in return, make downloading legal, sparking easier-to-use systems and more shared music. The artists get more money and you get more music. What’s unethical about that?

Aaron writes: “After many demonstrations of the power of NSController (‘Aaron, this app was 252,500 lines of code, but with NSController it is only 3!’), I must agree with them: life is better. They also agreed with me: there is much room for improvement.”

Aaron Caffrey didn't break into my
systems...
10/29/2003 12:10 AM

According to a good friend of mine, I spent a good five minutes in the Warner West End's first-floor loo with Aaron Caffrey - a (tall, enblondened) nineteen year old who was acquitted sometime in the last few days of crashing Port of Houston computer systems. Of course, being completely out of touch with everything that's happened in the world since I went down with the flu last week, I didn't notice at all and looked rather blank at my friend while he explained the whole situation to me. Young Katy seemed vaguely clued up on the whole thing too. I am - it seems - out of touch.

Anyway, I can report that at no time during our lavatory-time together did Aaron attempt to break into my systems, that he does indeed fit the stereotype remarkably well and that - in unrelated news - that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a tedious, unexceptional, bland and irritating adaptation of the Alan Moore / Kevin O'Neill comic book and that I very much don't recommend it.

Addendum: For those of you actually looking for useful links about Aaron, you might do better here:

Aaron presented the topic of spyware (or the removal and prevention of spyware to be specific) at the MLS Tech Summit today. I heard he was quite good and that the response was most positive. Good sport that he is, Aaron has put his presentation online and he encourages other librarians to steal it for use in their own patron training.

"The Tech Summit at the Metropolitan Library System went well today. Many people were excited to have a disc full of spyware removal programs and a few said that there were going straightaway to use them....
