Checking To See If Someone Read Your
Email
05/20/2004 03:50 AMUSA Today is talking about a new service called
DidTheyReadIt that claims it can
tell you whether or not anyone is opening emails that you've
sent, how long they spend with the emails and whether or not they
forward them on. It's a for-fee service that requires you to send all
of your email through their server. Basically, you append a
didtheyreadit.com to the end of every email that you send, and their
server does whatever black magic it does and passes the email on - at
which point you can track it. Jeremy Wagstaff has been writing about
them over the past few days and
expressed plenty of concerns over the offering. He already uses a
similar product - but which lets you clearly tell people that you're
tracking what they do with the email. He's also worried about the
company, especially since their other products are all about spying on
people as well - such as a keylogger. Would you trust such a company
to have all of your email on their server? The founder of
DidTheyReadIt replied to him in
two separate parts that do little to ease the concerns. This is the
type of thing that people are (as the USA Today article points out)
likely to flip out about - at the same time many will be intrigued to
use it themselves. The thing that I wonder about, however, is how
does it actually work? I'm guessing it needs to stick some sort of
HTML bug into the email - a popular trick among spammers to determine
whether or not you've opened their email and are "a live one." Of
course, these days, you simply shouldn't use HTML email - at least not
initially until you know a message is "safe." So, despite the fact
that the service claims it works on "all" email systems, I wonder how
well it actually works on anyone who avoids HTML-based emails. With
new email systems like Gmail which smartly make anyone go through an
extra step to view HTML-based email (though, they should set up rules
to allow HTML email from a certain address), others may follow suit -
especially if people get concerned about services like DidTheyReadIt.

Linksys Boosts Signal--Legally
Linksys Boosts Signal--Legally
07/07/2004 12:55 PMLinksys releases legal antenna add-ons for several of its Wi-Fi
gateways: We've said it in this space before, and we'll say it again:
in the U.S., you cannot legally mix and match antennas with Wi-Fi
gateways. The FCC's Part 15 rules require that you only use antennas
that were certified with the gateway that they were designed for. In
response to a recent query made by a colleague of mine, the FCC wrote
back a very clear response: When using Part 15 (2.4GHz) devices,
mixing and matching components is a violation of the rules. Only
systems can be certified. Please see
http://wireless.fcc.gov/outreach/2004broadbandforum/comments/
YDI_externalamps.pdf. There you go. Oddly, it is perfectly legal to
sell antennas separately from gateways without violating any laws.
It's only deploying them that is technically illegal. We haven't heard
of any letters or prosecutions, however. Linksys isn't getting around
this, but has rather taken several antennas and several gateways and
paid the fees to get each of the combinations certified in a matrix.
This cost them at least a few hundred thousand dollars in fees and
associated expenses entirely separate from the development costs of
the antennas themselves. Linksys has two kinds of antennas and
matching stands for each. One add-on, the TNC Connector Antenna, is
designed for two-antenna systems: WRT54GS, WRT54G, WAP54G, BEFW11S4,
and WAP11. The one-antenna device, the SMA Connector Antenna, works
with more specialized equipment: WRV54G, WMP54GS, WMP54G, and WET54G.
Both antenna types cost $60 each (suggested retail), while the
respective antenna stands are another $30. The stands allow mounting
the antennas to a wall or ceiling....

Cops engage in ID thefy - legally! [sorry - reg.
required was all I could find] Cops in Ohio were putting together a
sting in a strip club. They paid a 24-year-old informant a $100 a
night to work as a stripper in the club (What? After tips?) But in
order to carry out the sting, they gave the informant a false
identity. Instead of creating a new one, they simply plucked the
details off of some poor girl’s drivers license and social security
card, such that this girl now has being paid as a stripper on her
record. And according to the law, this is PERFECTLY LEGAL — in fact
the Ohio police’s right to do this was included as a provision in a
new Ohio law that was aimed at stopping ID theft. Which also makes me
wonder — was this a commonplace practice in Ohio or anywhere else?
Is that why they sought to protect it in the law? Is some guy using my
ID to infiltrate NAMBLA right now?

HOWTO legally sell downloads of
cover-songs
07/30/2004 05:06 AMCDBaby, a wonderful indie music publisher, has put up a howto for
legally selling downloads of cover songs.
If you record a cover version of a song, (meaning your performance of
a song that has been released in the U.S. with consent of the
copyright owner), you are entitled by law to release your recording
commercially, and the owner of the copyright to the song cannot
prevent you from doing so.
The Copyright Act provides for what is called a "Compulsory License",
which means that if you follow the steps set forth by statute, you can
distribute your recording of that song on a CD or over the internet.
The following details the procedure for individuals to obtain a
compulsory license to digitally distribute cover songs over the
Internet to end users in the United States.

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?
Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?
01/17/2004 10:47 PMThe big discussion that I've been having with a few different people
over the last few weeks is whether or not Google would get into the
email business - and, if so, how? To me, it seems like an obvious
extension of their technology and business model - but not everyone
agrees. However, the rumors are getting louder and louder that
Google is developing an
email product. The question is whether they'll be offering an
entire "Google Email" system, or if they're just working on a version
of their AdSense offering that would work within email (generating
contextual ads based on the content of the email). Some people I've
spoken to about it thought that people would freak out if they thought
Google was reading their email to do its contextualization magic -
which could be true. The question is how many people will freak out -
and will plenty of others be more than willing to welcome the Google
contextualization engine into their inbox, in exchange for the ability
to actually "Google your email"? Many people always seem to want the
ability to better search through their own email. I could see a
certain willingness from many people to let Google place ads in their
email in exchange for the ability to better search through all the
email. If Google could figure out a good anti-spam solution, as well,
it could be a real hit.

survey saying that
p
eople want email postage stamps as a way of cutting back spam. In
the past, every survey that has asked people about email postage has
generally come out the opposite way. However, when you ask the
question in a leading way, such as: "Is it a good idea to shift the
cost of e-mail from the ISPs to those who send mass e-mail?" who's
actually going to say no? Of course, people want to "shift the cost,"
but that's not the same as saying they want to deal with email postage
stamps.
