Google tells Amazon Light to Cease and
Desist
07/19/2002 02:38 AMAmazon Light, a very cool new use of the Amazon Web Services recently
introuced (and clearly inspired by Google's Web API) provides a
cleaner-than-Amazon interface to the same data. However, they recently
report that they've been asked to cease-and-desist by Google's
lawyers. The site was very much like Google's (screenshot) but it was
clearly in good taste. I'm not sure why Google is so testy about it.
Is a books.google.com coming soon? I wonder if they'll go after Whois
Report next. [Thanks to Kevin Burton for alerting me to this.]...

Palm.Net to cease 31 August
08/10/2004 07:50 PMAfter five years, palmOne has decided to discontinue its Palm.Net
service for the Palm VII, VIIx, and i705, and web clipping along with
it.
With little fanfare, palmOne has announced via its Knowledge Base that
the Palm.Net service will be discontinued on 31 August. The Palm VII,
VIIx, and
i705 data-only communicators ran on the Palm.Net
pager network-based service. Although their non-wireless functions
will of course continue to function, their wireless capabilities will
cease to function as of the end of August. Although the hardware will
of course still function, those models were designed to work on an
older pager network rather than on more recently-built GSM/GPRS or
CDMA 1xRTT networks, and no other carriers have plans to continue to
support the Palm.Net pager service.
In addition to the end of life for the Palm.Net service, palmOne is
also shutting down its Web Clipping (PQA) service, which debuted with
Palm.Net but has also been available on selected other models since
then. Web Clipping worked by installing small applications on the
handheld that worked almost as micro-browsers, using a common library,
to access specific web applications via a proxy that
tightly-compressed the data stream. The result was what appeared to
the user to be a wirelessly-enabled application. The proxy server,
however, was integrated into the Palm.Net service and will be
discontinued along with it. The palmOne gateway proxy for its WAP
Browser service will also be discontinued, although the client is able
to work with a 3rd party gateway if the user so chooses.

12/15/2003 01:00 PMThese days it seems that corporate lawyers a pretty damn quick about
pulling out their trusted "cease-and-desist" letters for just about
anything - even if no laws have actually been violated. Wired News
has two such stories this morning. First, comes the news that Miramax
is upset about a site that
reviews
Kung Fu movies. They accuse him of selling a movie that they own
the rights to. The movie was originally released in Asia in 2002, but
will come to the US next year. The problem is that the guy who runs
the site doesn't sell any movies. He does
link to a site that
does sell movies, but that site stopped selling the movie in question
once Miramax obtained the rights to it. No matter to Miramax. When
confronted with this info, they defended the action, saying that they
needed to make "it more difficult for people to purchase these films."
That may be what the lawyers think, but it might not make the most
business sense. First of all, the type of people who will go out of
their way to buy such a movie from a foreign distributor are clearly
big fans, and are the
most likely people to go out and see the
movie on the big screen when it's released here. Now, all Miramax has
done is piss off the biggest fans of the movie they're about to
release. Second, there's nothing illegal about linking to a perfectly
legal site. Miramax is simply using their lawyers to bully someone
who has done nothing wrong (and, in fact, who is trying to help
publicize their movies). What Miramax considers "protecting their
intellectual property" certainly appears to be shooting themselves in
the foot from this angle. Meanwhile, the US Olympic Committee is
hitting back against anyone who
dares to
use the word "Olympics" to describe some sort of competition.
Again, this is going past the basic purpose of trademark law - which
is to make sure consumers of a product (or event) aren't confused to
believe it's from another company (or organization). In this case,
the folks behind the "robolympics" think it's fairly unlikely that
anyone is going to confuse their event with the international athletic
competitions held every few years. In fact, they point out that the
Olympic trademark only covers athletic events - and since their event
involves robots, it's not an athletic event.
