Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of

Is It Against The Law To Put The Name Of
The Toronto Airport On The Web? 11/13/2003 05:16 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder about folks who are very quick to dash off legal threats to websites that happen to mention their name. The site Urinal.net is a (surprisingly) popular website posting pictures of urinals from around the world. They were recently profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC radio among others. The site has hundreds of fans who regularly submit pictures of urinals they take from locations all over the world. Basically, it's the sort of bizarre, but amusing, site that makes the internet fun. Not everyone seems to get the fun part, though. Someone from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (the GTAA) happened to find a page on the site that includes two completely normal photos of urinals from the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, and decided that this must be illegal. They've sent an email threatening legal action against the site if they did not remove the name of the airport from the site. The site's owners complied, but were clear to mention that the GTAA had muted them. In response, the GTAA has also told them they cannot even mention the GTAA. Again, the site has complied in very amusing fashion. The description of the airport now reads: "The [facility in question] - covering 1,792 hectares (4,430 acres) - has been [Canada's largest city's] main international [aircraft take-off and landing facility] since 1939 when it was first known as Malton [facility]." They also note that the "Gee-Tee-Aye-Aye" forbids them from naming the actual airport. It makes you wonder, on what legal authority the GTAA is claiming you cannot name their organization or their airports. It's not likely that anyone is going to be confused into believing that urinal.net is the official website of the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport. These days, people seem very quick to pull out legal threats any time anyone so much as mentions their name on a website.

LWCE Toronto: Day 1

LWCE Toronto: Day 1 04/19/2005 09:08 AM
The first day of Toronto's LinuxWorld Conference and Expo was made up of a pair of 3-hour long tutorial sessions on various networking and Linux related topics. I selected from among the list of available sessions System & Network Monitoring with Open Source Tools for the morning and Applying Open Source Software Practices to Government Software for the afternoon. Unfortunately, the latter was cancelled at the last minute and I went to Moving to the Linux Business Desktop instead.

Chill, Toronto

Chill, Toronto 08/17/2004 07:26 PM
Cool! Toronto's Deep Lake Water Cooling System was launched today. The system cuts electricity consumption in commercial buildings by 75 per cent by drawing near-freezing water through pipes extending five kilometres out into Lake Ontario. According to the city, the system will save enough power to service more than 100 Toronto office towers or 4,200 homes per year, and it will eliminate 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Here's a public television segment explaining the process. Seems like it makes a nice complement to the lakeshore wi ndmill.

Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11

Toronto copyright conference, Feb 11 02/01/2005 08:37 PM
Cory Doctorow: If you're in Toronto on Feb 11, you should really check out this copyright and technology conference at the University of Toronto -- it looks wonderful.

The student-run Technology and Intellectual Property Group of the University of Toronto will present a one-day academic conference called "Sound Bytes/Sound Rights: Canada at the Crossroads of Copyright Law." In 2004, the Standing Committee for Canadian Heritage issued recommendations for changes to the Copyright Act broadening copyright protections. In the same year, the Canadian courts headed in the opposite direction by handing down important judgments recognizing user rights. The conference will be a forum for law students and academics as well as practicing lawyers, policy makers and those in the music industry to hear about and discuss the emerging legal framework for copyright law in Canada with a particular emphasis on music and entertainment law.

Speakers will include musicians Paul Hoffert and Neil Leyton, Michael Geist (Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa and author of the "Law Bytes" column in the Toronto Star), Bob Young (co-founder of Red Hat Software), Sarmite Bulte, MP (the chair of the 2004 standing committee), lawyers Ron Dimock and Barry Sookman, Casey Chisick (professor of intellectual property law at the University of Toronto), and Graham Henderson (president of the Canadian Recording Industry Association). Also speaking will be William W. Fisher III, director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and author of the new and important book "Promises to Keep: Law, Technology and the Future of Entertainment".

The conference will be held in Flavelle House, University of Toronto Faculty of Law, 78 Queen's Park, Toronto, on Friday, February 11, 2005 from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch will be provided and a wine reception is planned. Admission is $30.00 for pre-registration, $40.00 at the door. Admission is free for college and university students but registration beforehand is essential.

Toronto International Film Festival

Toronto International Film Festival 09/05/2004 12:57 AM
The Toronto International Film Festival begins Thursday. The 2004 program is one of the best they've had in years (certainly the best since the 90s). Planning on attending? If so, you may appreciate TIFF Reviews - "the online meeting place for fans of TIFF 2004". Since TIFF is the the largest film festival in the world, most attendees (myself included) find it very difficult to pick their films. Once the fest starts, members of the TIFF Reviews forum are encouraged to leave reviews of what they've been watching in the hopes that it'll help other people plan their 10 days in the dark.
