In A World Without Copyrights
12/04/2003 02:25 PMNothing particularly new, but a nice summation of why
our
current copyright laws are obsolete. Basically, they were
designed to prevent copying in the age of the printing press, and
technology has changed drastically since that time. Trying to wedge
current digital intellectual property issues into obsolete copyright
laws is just part of the reason why we've been having so many problems
lately. The article suggests that their must be a better way, and
talks about using ideas like copyleft or the Creative Commons to
rewrite copyright law to bring it up to date.

01/06/2005 03:17 PMTerry Heaton raises an important issue: Many of us tend to be, um, lax
about copying copyrighted material onto our own servers so that we can
make it more broadly available. At some point, we're going to get
sued. Just in case you were looking for something else to worry

Pre-Emptive Strikes Copyrights
Pre-Emptive Strikes Copyrights
03/19/2003 10:27 PMMichael O'Connor Clarke just mailed me to say that a
fellow Toronto blogger of his intends (but not really) to sue
the US Government over their mis-appropriation of the name they're
giving to Gulf War II, The Vengeance, to be known forthwith as
Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He casually
coined the term in an earlier blog entry, thinking nothing of it. Now
it turns out that this may indeed be the chosen 'nom de guerre' for
Dubya's illegal and unjust pre-emptive military
campaign.
Any bets on what Gulf War III, when Jeb
Bush goes back to honour his brother and father, will be
affectionately known as?
Actually, I wonder if a bunch of
high google ranking anti-war bloggers 'hi-jacked' the name for the
operation, if that would constitute negative, unpatriotic behaviour?
Does the US Miltary control the web? No. Isn't it ironic that they
invented it in the first place? Yes. I'm not suggesting that we all
blog negative stuff about Operation Iraqi Freedom, perish the thought,
but wouldn't it be interesting if the top 100 searches returned by
Google were pointers to negative coverage? I'm sure we'll see....

Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act
of 2004
06/25/2004 08:54 AMOn first read of this proposed legislation I thought it was a
parody and someone was pulling a sick joke. But unfortunately a
clueless legislators who has gotten some serious campain donations from the sponsors.
I get tired of having to get up on my soap box but I must and will
until this madness is brought to a halt. Dan Gillmor sums it up
perfectly:
"This bill, the stated purpose of which is to criminalize
actions that might "induce" copyright infringement, doesn't just
overrule the Sony Betamax case, which gave us the right to tape TV
shows to watch later. It would turn people offering totally legitimate
technology into criminals, if what they offered could also be used for
infringing purposes."
The EFF has written up an example complaint that is on Gillmor's
site that could be submitted if this legislation makes it to the floor
of congress. I encourage your to read Dan Gillmor's article he has
links to the Elected Officials we need to write to this time.
Folks won't be long before we will have to swipe our debit cards
thru our multi-media devices to listen to music we have paid for or to
watch TV thru the set we purchased along with the monster cable bill
we have to pay every month. Think I'm joking don't you know their are
associations out their that want just that. [Dan Gillmor]

Red Cross wants all its volunteers'
copyrights and patents
06/17/2005 03:34 PMCory Doctorow:
Every volunteer for the American Red Cross is
requ
ired to sign on to an agreement that covers things like proper
conduct, confidentiality, and includes a requirement for all
volunteers to sign over all copyright/trademark/patent rights in any
work-related writing, art and inventions come up with during their
term, and for a full year afterward. Why the hell does the Red Cross
need to own the copyrights in the work-related blog postings you make
for a year after you stop spending your free evenings handing out
cookies to blood-donors? If you write a novel and include some
real-life details gleaned from volunteering in a disaster-relief
efforts, does the Red Cross really deserve to take all rights to it?
Disclosure and Ownership of Intellectual Property. I (i) shall
promptly and fully disclose to Red Cross any and all Intellectual
Property, (ii) agree that all Intellectual Property shall be
owned by Red Cross, (iii) agree to and do hereby assign, transfer
and convey to Red Cross the entire right, title and interest in
and to all Intellectual Property, (iv) will execute and deliver
any and all documents, take all actions and render any and all
assistance reasonably requested by Red Cross, during or at any
time after Volunteer Service, to establish Red Cross’ ownership
of, or to enable Red Cross to obtain patents to or register
copyrights of, any Intellectual Property, and (v) acknowledge
that all Intellectual Property that is copyrightable subject
matter and that qualifies as a "work made for hire" shall be
automatically owned by Red Cross. In the event Red Cross is
unable for any reason whatsoever to secure my signature to any
document required to apply for or execute any patent, copyright,
or other applications with respect to Intellectual Property, I
hereby irrevocably appoint Red Cross and its authorized officers
and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact to execute and file
any such application and to do all other acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights, or other rights
with respect to Intellectual Property with the same legal force
and effect as if executed by me. As a reminder, Intellectual
Property shall only include intellectual property created by me
(y) in the course of Volunteer Service or using Red Cross time,
equipment, information or materials, and (z) within one (1) year
after termination of Volunteer Service and relating directly to
work done during Volunteer Service.

Congress Goes After Peer to Peer
UPDATED
I hadn't been taking some proposed new copyright legislation very
seriously, mainly because it's logically absurd on its face. But the
"Inducing
Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004" (PDF) seems to be moving
so quickly that we have to pay attention now.
It's
basically a bill that can make the creation of technology that could
possibly be used for "piracy" illegal. More on Dan's blog. Please take
a look. It's quite absurd and dangerous. If it's moving quickly, I
think we need to mobilize against it as soon as possible. Japan always
gets hand-me-downs of ugly US bills so please stop it!

that a congressional aide lives in something of a fishbowl, and she
really should have kept that in mind.
Sen. Mike DeWine said Thursday that he has not decided whether to
fire an aide who allegedly posted her exploits in an Internet diary,
including accepting $400 from a married man for sex.

DMCRA Congressional hearing scheduled
05/09/2004 07:30 AMCongressional
Hearing Called on Fair Use; 321 Studios President Asked to Testify
Now Is the Time for Consumers to Effect Change Through
www.protectfairuse.org
WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- A Congressional Hearing for
H.R. 107, the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act (DMCRA), has been
set for Wednesday, May 12, at 10:00 AM Eastern. The DMCRA has been
acknowledged and endorsed by major industry players like Intel Corp.,
Philips Consumer Electronics, Sun Microsystems, Bell South, Verizon,
SBC, Qwest, Gateway, and the Consumer Electronics Association, among
others, as a necessary balancing mechanism to restore consumers' fair
use rights in the digital era. The hearing will take place before the
House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection in Room
2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The DMCRA, introduced by Reps. Rick Boucher (D-VA) and John
Doolittle (R- CA) and co-sponsored by House Energy and Commerce
Committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX), would re-affirm consumer fair
use rights and balance the otherwise one-sided protection afforded
copyright owners under current interpretations of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
321 Studios Founder and President Robert Moore has been asked to
testify at this historic fair use Congressional hearing. 321 Studios
is the developer of the award-winning DVDXCOPY series of DVD backup
software -- a product now banned in the United States after a group of
Hollywood studios sued the company, and two federal judges decided
that DVDXCOPY was in violation of the 1998 Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (DMCA).
I've been a big fan of Rick Boucher
ever since I first met him in Tokyo and he helped me understand how
the US Congress worked on Internet issues. He's been one of the few US
politicians I've met who understands the Internet and the variety of
important issues including the problems with the DMCA. This bill that
he and John Doolittle have introduced is a REALLY important push
against the DMCA and all the might of Hollywood will be resist the new
bill. If the DMCRA is successful, it will be an important blow against
the insanity of the DMCA which will reverberate all the way to Japan
and the EU. Americans. Contact your representatives and rally around
this important issue. Please.
