Johnny Fox's Freakatorium
Johnny Fox's Freakatorium
06/05/2005 11:42 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Today's New York Times profiles swordswallower/prestidigitator Johnny
Fox, proprietor of the recently-closed Freakatorium, a cabinet of
curiosities in New York City's Lower East Side. From the New York
Times
(photo by Douglas Healey):
In January, Mr. Fox's rent went up and he had to close. Now he has
moved his wonders to a farmhouse in Connecticut where the only thing
they collect these days is dust.
His narwhal tusks stand in the attic near a loose pile of taxidermic
heads. His elephant's-foot liquor chest sits in the living room, seen
by no one but himself.
His two-headed turtle lives downstairs in the basement with a sleepy
boa constrictor. Out in the garage - forgotten - are Tom Thumb's vest
and Sammy Davis Jr.'s glass eye.
"I'd love for this stuff to be in New York," said Mr. Fox, a sinewy
and black-haired man of 52. "New York needs this kind of stuff, but
who supports it anymore?"
It is a hard question to answer. Mr. Fox discovered that his
Freakatorium was not the tourist destination he had hoped it would be.
Even with its relatively modest $5 admission fee, it drew only 5 to 15
visitors a day....
He has even thought of changing the roguish name of his establishment
to cater to a different clientele.
"I figured we could call it the Chamber of Wonders, not the
Freak-atorium," he said. "Freak sometimes has a stigma to it. We could
do something family-inviting."
Even at its height, the Freakatorium was never meant to be a profit
center. It was rather Mr. Fox's chance to earn a living while sharing
his obsessions with the world.

Suing the Saudis
Suing the Saudis

Suing the Saudis The Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey has decided to
join a $7
billion lawsuit that was
filed last week by bond brokerage firm
Cantor Fitzgerald, which
lost 658 of its employees--two thirds of the firm--in the 9/11 attack
on the World Trade Center, which was three years ago today. It looks
like they may be gearing up to use
RICO:
"[The lawsuit said] Saudi Arabia engaged in a pattern of
racketeering as it participated directly or indirectly in al Qaida's
work through its "alter-ego" charities and relief
organisations, which it funded and controlled." Al Qaida
is named as a co-defendant, and four Saudis are
mentioned by name: the interior minister, the defense minister, the
governor of Riyadh, and the British ambassador, all members of the
Saudi royal family.

Spammer Suing SpamCop
Spammer Suing SpamCop
04/30/2004 04:13 PMA year ago, a group of spammers anonymously teamed up with a lawyer to
sue
a bunch of anti-spam groups. After those anti-spam groups
fought
back, the spammers eventually
dropped
their case. However, now we've got a similar situation. Scott
Richter, the well known spammer behind OptInRealBig, is now
suing
IronPort, the folks who
bought
SpamCop last year. He's asking for $1 million in damages, saying
that SpamCop has damaged his reputation. Has he given any thought to
the idea that
sending spam may have damaged his reputation?
Among the many charges filed against SpamCop, Richter included
Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, Unfair
Competition and Interference with Contractual Relationship.

Google Back To Suing Froogles
Google Back To Suing Froogles
04/18/2005 06:48 PMIt seems that Google's trademark lawyers are busy these days. Last
year, they were sued by the creators of some children's toys/books
called
the
Googles and that was quickly followed up by a dispute with the guy
who ran a
shopp
ing search engine at Froogles.com, which Google obviously felt
competed with their own Froogle.com. The big problem, though, was
that Froogles had been around longer than Froogle (whoops!) leading to
an arbitration panel letting the guy keep his domain. Google tried to
defend their position by noting that Froogles was confusingly similar
to
Google (
not Froogle). This way, they could make the
claim that Google had been around longer than Froogles. However, what
the arbitration panel doesn't give, perhaps the courts will. An
unofficial
Google blog is noting that
Google has reopened the case -- probably after the guy
refused to settle and was holding out for a bigger offer. Once again,
though, Google is focusing on the earlier claim that Froogles
infringes on Google -- and they go so far as to state that any use of
"OOGLE" in relation to search may be considered infringement -- which
might be a pretty credible claim. It seems unlikely a company would
use "oogle" without there being some confusion with Google.
Suing carriers over locked handsets
Suing carriers over locked handsets
06/09/2004 02:51 AMA consumer-rights group is bringing suit against US mobile carriers
for locking their handsets:
In the lawsuit, the foundation said that because the companies all use
the same wireless network standard, called GSM, customers should be
able to use the same phone across those carriers' networks just by
changing out an easily-replaced unit called a "SIM card" inside the
phone.
The carriers may claim that locked handset let them offer cheaper
service -- because they keep you from using your subsidized handset
with another carrier, but I don't buy it. I got a free T-Mobile
handset by promising on pain of an enormous cancellation fee to stick
with them for a year. In the meantime, why shouldn't I be able to rent
a SIM when I go to Toronto and put it in my phone? Why shouldn't I be
able to loan my handset to a friend from out of town so that she can
put her SIM in it and log on to her service?

Suing The Music Industry For Copy
Protection
Suing The Music Industry For Copy
Protection
01/05/2004 04:55 AMA Belgian consumer watchdog group, Test-Achats, is now
suing some of
the big record labels for installing copy protection on their CDs.
The article is a little unclear on what legal basis they seem to be
suing - but it sounds like it's one of two things (or possibly both):
(1) the CDs are not clearly labeled and don't play on certain
equipment, meaning that they're defective or (2) by adding copy
protection, the CD takes away the rights of users to make personal
copies. While I do think copy protection is a costly and pointless
tool used by the recording industry, I'm not sure there's much of a
case here (other than - perhaps - on the labeling issue). I don't
think there's any legal reason why the industry should be prevented
from putting copy protection on their CDs. I just think it's a bad
business decision that will add to the cost while making the product
worse for consumers. However, if the industry wants to shoot itself
in the foot, that's completely up to them.
Update: In related
news, a
consortium of big name players in the tech world are trying
to come up with a new copy protection scheme that they say will work.
It's designed to allow for limited copying and sharing, while also
taking into account the fact that most people want their content to be
portable. Of course, like every other content protection scheme it
will be broken very quickly - and thus, will only inconvenience
legitimate users.
