Profiting from free, online content
07/15/2004 06:50 PM There isn't a compelling business argument today that would suggest
that giving away our content is a good idea. (more) What tangible
benefit does the New York Times get in return for being a world news
library to us? It's neat to be revered by all as a repository of
information, but without a visible associated profit, I can certainly
understand why it could be rejected by higher-ups. In the interests of
simplifying things, I'm going to make a gross generalization of this
and call it: "How do I make money while giving everything away for
free?": Advertising The scourge of optic nerves everywhere can still
be useful when done tactfully. Loud, garish ads can send people into
seizures, drive people to distraction, inspire thousands to write code

Patent Office Agrees To Check Into All
That Prior Art On The Eolas Patent
11/12/2003 01:35 PMThe latest in the Eolas patent saga is that someone at the Patent
Office has
finally agreed to
review the patent based on stacks and stacks of prior art that
people have been finding. Amazingly, the Patent Office appears to
have responded quickly (though, they don't say how long it will take
for a new decision on the patent) to the requests for a re-examination
of the patent. There's a quote from the USPTO's deputy commissioner
for patent examination policy saying that this was an "extraordinary
situation" which necessitated the quick response. The problem with
this statement is that it's
not an extraordinary situation. In
fact, it's an increasingly common situation, where silly patents are
getting the stamp of approval every day - and then used to hold other
companies up for extortion, rather than for encouraging innovation.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent
07/08/2004 05:05 PMI think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid
patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is
that Adobe, who is no stranger to
abusing
intellectual property rules, is now being hit
with a patent over their
PDF technology. The patent is for
a method of extracting network
information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're
basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and
having the system not only download the page in question, but all
locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful
system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well
before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with
PDF files.

Sure, you could just manually copy the images from your
favorite web comics to the PSP, but 8 Bit Joystick has some tips to
automate the process. Slurp down a whole web comic archive, do some
basic conversion (as necessary) and copy it over. Classics like
Penny Arcade and Diesel Sweeties are natural choices, of
course, but if you've ever rolled a twenty-sided die, check out my
guilty pleasure, Order of

Jason Gill says,
Someone has posted a script for
GreaseMonkey (a Firefox extension that lets you add your own
Javascript code to any website, to remove ads or add features: Link) that automatically
removes any post by Xeni when viewing BoingBoing."

/a>. Of course, if you're not reading my posts you're gonna miss this
one. D'oh!
Update: Jesse Andrews, the fellow who wrote
this de-Xeni script, would appear to be busted. :-) Chad Hurley, who identifies
himself as Mr. Andrews' employer, says:
Hi Xeni,
Just a note about Mr. Andrews and his "de-Xeni" plugin -
We’ve caught him looking at far worse things than your "over the
top" posts. Why he has picked you to filter, one may never know, but
I have an idea for a plugin. Maybe I will add it to the Grease Monkey
requests. It’s really simple. When Jesse opens Firefox, it directs
Jesse to a folder on my server called, "Things Jesse needs to do today
before the big hand is on 12 and the little hand is on 5"! Just an
idea.
Keep on keepin' on,
Chad
HOWTO bl0g anonymously
HOWTO bl0g anonymously
04/08/2005 12:54 AMCory Doctorow:
EFF has released a guide to blogging anonymously, with "basic measures
people can take to keep
their blogs anonymous and explores what the law says about
discussing work-related issues online. Some advice is
common sense; for example, don't post a picture of yourself
if you want to stay anonymous. But for bloggers who want
strong guarantees of privacy, EFF suggests using
technologies like Tor or Anonymizer to prevent your
blog-hosting company from logging your computer's unique
Internet Protocol (IP) address. Bloggers who fear they
could be fired for blogging are also given an introduction
to laws that prevent an employer from punishing them for
speaking out online."
The bad news is that in many cases, there is no legal means of redress
if you've been fired for blogging. While your right to free speech is
protected by the First Amendment, this protection does not shield you
from the consequences of what you say. The First Amendment protects
speech from being censored by the government; it does not regulate
what private parties (such as most employers) do. In states with "at
will" employment laws like California, employers can fire you at any
time, for any reason. And no state has laws that specifically protect
bloggers from discrimination, on the job or otherwise.
One way to make sure your blog doesn't earn you a pink slip is to make
sure that you write about certain protected topics. Most states have
laws designed to prevent employers from firing people who talk openly
about their politics outside of work, for example. Be warned that laws
like this do vary widely from state to state, and many are untested
when it comes to blogging.
