Selling On eBay As A PR Tactic
Selling On eBay As A PR Tactic
12/18/2003 02:13 PMIt just won't stop. If you have something odd or strange to sell the
trick is to put it up on eBay. Not just because it's the marketplace
where many people go, but big or weird items on eBay are like an
automatic ticket to press coverage. So, despite the fact that
it's
been done before, a town in Arizona is
trying to sell itself on eBay. Basically, eBay has become
both a selling platform and a publicity platform.

Tactic: mix digital video in real-time
06/25/2004 03:49 PMLivid Instruments announced on Friday the release of
Tactic, a
hardware device that works with the included software to allow video
DJs to mix and edit digital video in real-time. Tactic is made of
handcrafted wood and features a USB connection, 16 buttons and knobs
that can be assigned different functions, six buttons for triggering
effects and 36 tactile buttons that let you rapidly trigger effects.
The software offers a preview screen that monitors video clips and
camera feeds as well as programmable sliders, buttons, wheels and
knobs. As MacCentral posted this article, Livid had not yet posted
system requirements or pricing for Tactic.

Gore: Cheney tactic "sleazy and
despicable"
09/09/2004 12:49 PMDick Cheney's "vote for us or you'll pay with your life" comments
earlier this week shocked many people, but Cheney hasn't retracted his
statement. When Bush was asked about Cheney's comments yesterday, he
just stared at the reporter. Aides to Cheney said his language may
have been a bit harsh, but the underlying message was right on. As
Adam Nagourney pointed out in today's
New York Times, Republicans may express more delicately in the
weeks ahead the notion that voting for Kerry is akin to begging for
another 9/11 -- but this threat will certainly be repeated in one form
or another until Election Day.

Clocky. An MIT
student has designed an alarm clock with built-in wheels and motion
sensors. Upon hitting the snooze button, Clocky will roll of your
nighttable, bump around your room, and hide, forcing you to have to
get up and look for him instead of hitting the button again.

08/18/2004 12:58 PMI was at a Petco the other day buying some cat litter and before
the cashier took my $20 bill, she said "your total is $17.86, would
you like to donate the 14 cents change to the county humane society?"
I not only said yes, but emphatically so. I hate carrying around
change (especially pointless amounts like 14 cents), I like animals
and donating to good causes, but I'm also incredibly lazy, so it was
the best idea I've ever heard. It was as if a group was assembled to
figure out how to make my day better while also helping out a charity
that features cute puppies and kittens, and they came up with
this.
I wouldn't be surprised if more specialty stores do it, and I
wouldn't be surprised if I willingly give away more change in the
future this way.

more seasoned pro for some advice. The responses he received were
nothing short of funny. While they were all quite practical, they
still held a little sarcasm that you could feel in every response.
Darn kids! :o)

02/01/2005 10:04 PM
As is old news (but everything on the Lessig Blog is old news), the
Copyright Office has asked for
comments
on whether a solution is needed to deal with "orphan works" -- works
still under copyright but whose owner cannot be identified.
This, as
PublicKnowledge notes,
fantastic news. For many years, many have been trying to refocus this
debate on copyright from the binary questions that p2p sharing seems
to raise ("seems to") to the more pragmatic and fundamental questions
that this insanely inefficient and bizarrely complex system of speech
regulation called copyright raises. When Congress shifted our system
of copyright from an "opt-in" to an "opt-out" regime, it transformed
copyright from a system that automatically narrowed its protection
(and hence regulation) to those works that had some continuing need
for copyright protection, to a system that totally indiscriminately
spreads copyright to every creative work reduced to a tangible form --
automatically, and for the full term of copyright.
This issue is the focus of our challenge in
Kahle v. Ashcroft. It is something I've been whining about in
every publication that will have me (see, e.g., this op-ed in the
LA Times).
But this is an issue that I've only become aware of because of the
writings and emails from many who visit this space. And it is time for
you to speak to government. No one who read the emails that I've
collected could think that this was not a problem. But the copyright
office doesn't accept email inboxes. It reads submissions only. The
requirements
are simple. Submission is free. We'll be organizing as many
submissions as we can at
eldred.cc.
But please help spread the word: The Copyright Office needs to hear
about every example of where the existing system is stifling the
cultivation and spread of our culture. Not because Congress extends
the term of copyright for Mickey Mouse. That battle is over. But
because the way in which it protects Mickey Mouse blocks access to the
balance of our copyrighted culture - for no good copyright, or free
speech, related reason. This point is clear to many. You need to make
it clear to the government.
