MIT Press takes gutsy fair use stand

MIT Press takes gutsy fair use stand 03/19/2003 10:45 PM
MIT Press sought to clear one-line excerpts from twelve songs that are quoted in a forthcoming novel. Faced with ten forms that had to filled out before proceeding, one demand of $10,000, and a flat refusal, they decided to hell with it, one-line excerpts are fair goddamned use, and decided to just print 'em. Lessig points out that risk-averse publishers try to minimize their lawyer-hours by essentially publishing no fair-use material, and MIT's doing the right thing here could very well loosen up some of that fearful tightness.

That is rare in this business. Publishers are among the most conservative “fair users” — not because they don’t believe in free speech, but because they understand the burden of non-free lawyers. If a lawsuit is filed against a publisher for copyright infringement, the cost of answering the complaint can suck up the total profit from the book. Thus, however generous the Supreme Court thinks it is when it defends “fair use,” the relevant “fair use” is the freedom publishers permit.

It is a great thing that publishers like MIT can help set the standard. The law should make it easier for others to do the same.

Larry Ellison Testifies

Larry Ellison Testifies 06/30/2004 09:19 PM

I've been in federal court this afternoon to hear Oracle's La rry Ellison testify in the important antitrust case in which the government is trying to block Oracle's buyout of PeopleSoft. Ellison was, as you'd expect, a cool customer of a witness. But his appearance may have been something of an anticlimax, given that the issues of this case have been pretty well thrashed out by previous witnesses. Still, it was fascinating to watch. More later.

PeopleSoft gives in, accepts Oracle's $10.3B bid: I knew Larry would get what he wanted eventually.

Ending 18 months of bad blood, Oracle is snapping up bitter rival PeopleSoft for $10.3 billion to create the world's second largest maker of business applications software.

I wonder how long it will take before "Oracle" starts making you think "applications" before you think "database server."

Notes from Larry Page's Talk 03/13/2003 10:24 AM
J. Bradford DeLong has some interesting notes from a talk given by Larry Page.It wasn't that we intended to build a search engine. We built a ranking system to deal with annotations. We wanted to annotate the web - build a system so that after you'd viewed a page you could click and see what smart comments other people had about it. But how do you decide who gets to annotate Yahoo? We needed to figure out how to choose which annotations people should look at, which meant that we needed to figure out which other sites contained comments we should classify as authoritative.Brockerhoff wonders if this is why they bought Blogger....

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso 03/31/2005 09:34 AM
The Cheerful Transgressive Ever since 1971, when Larry Clark published Tulsa, an austere series chronicling his meth-shooting pals in sixties Oklahoma, Clark has made it his mission to document teenagers at their most deviant, their most vulnerable, their most sexually unhinged (possibly NSFW). And now “Larry Clark” the first American retrospective of Clark’s work, currently on display at the International Center of Photography, demonstrates the richness with which he’s mined this single subject (NSFW). More inside.

Good movie for Larry Summers

Good movie for Larry Summers 03/17/2005 03:24 AM

Six of us T'd down to the New England Aquarium's IMAX theater (not the distorted curved Omnimax of the Science Museum) last night and watched Aliens of the Deep (3D), in which James Cameron, director of the movie Titanic, goes 3000' to 10,000' down into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to film the unusual forms of life living next to thermal vents.  Precious few details are offered about the animals in question.  Much time is spent on computer-generated speculation about a mission to the oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa, which has a 16-mile covering of ice and below that, some intelligent big-eyed snails who've built themselves an underwater brightly lit Indian casino.

Larry Summers should see this movie because nearly all of the scientists shown are women.  In fact they are nearly all young buff women of color (or with Hispanic surnames anyway).  Maybe this is why we are able to hire scientists for $35,000/year.  Sadly for Science, it seems that in a world where all scientists are women no math is done and you never learn anything about the phenomenon studied except "this is really cool" or "this is really beautiful".

We were all disappointed that Celine Dion was not featured on the soundtrack.

Interview with Larry Wall, author of
Perl 09/08/2002 11:50 AM
I confess, I have a soft spot in my heart for inside-out languages like PHP. The first real compiler I ever wrote was for a sort of text-processing macro language in which the commands were embedded in the data. This is part of a more general class of programming languages in which a peculiar form of processing is assumed by default, such as the pattern/action syntax of awk that assumes an invisible outer loop. -- Larry Wall
