Pirate Act 05/27/2004 12:28 PM

I have been watching the commentary grow over the proposed Pirate Act which is getting a lot of press over the past week and a lot of people are very worried that the government is going to start wholesale prosecutions of people who share music / software on the Internet. I need more information before I can
really come to a conclusion but it will be interesting to see how this is going to turn out. [ArsTechnica] [Dan Gillmor]

Mark came up with September 19. That was and is his ex-wife’s birthday, and the only date he could readily recall that wasn’t taken up with something like Christmas or the Super Bowl or something. We also decided — right then and there on the court on June 6, 1995 — that the perfect spokesman for our new holiday was none other than Dave Barry himself, nationally syndicated humor columnist and winner of the Pulitzer…

The Big Sony BMG Pirate Battle

The Big Sony BMG Pirate Battle 06/17/2005 06:14 PM

Arrrr! Sony BMG is unveiling a new CD technology to provide a “speed bump” for those nasty pirates. The new CDs only allow for three duplicates to be made and can only be ripped to a computer in a protected format. Legal problems are already arising, though; the protected rip format forbids the music from being put onto the Apple iPod, so BMG is sending emails to inquiring customers with instructions on a backdoor route around this problem. Nice one, Sony!

Help Cory pirate his own story!

Help Cory pirate his own story! 09/01/2004 01:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: Science Fiction World, a Chinese magazine, recently published an issue with a translation of my story "Nimby and the D-Hoppers" (originally published in June 2003). They didn't ask first, so technically this is a "pirate" edition, but hell, I'm not all that worked up about it -- I'm pretty pumped to know that there are people in China reading my stuff (and for what it's worth, foreign publishers usually pay teeny little pittances for translation rights to short stories).

My only peeve here is that they never sent me a copy, and never put their translation on the Web. I sent 'em some email but they never answered.

So here's my challenge to the lazyweb: track down a copy of the September issue of Science Fiction World and re-type the story that starts on page 12 ("Technological Opposition and the Dimension-Hopper") and send it to me. I'll post it on the Internet and make it available under a Creative Commons license for free reproduction. Link (Thanks, Joel!)

Senate approves PIRATE act

Senate approves PIRATE act 06/26/2004 02:42 AM
Today, the U.S. Senate approved a proposal that will give federal prosecutors the power to file civil lawsuits against suspected copyright infringers -- penalties include fines up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The so-called Pirate Act has raised alarms among copyright lawyers and lobbyists for peer-to-peer companies, who have been eyeing the recording industry's lawsuits against thousands of peer-to-peer users with trepidation. They worry that the Department of Justice could be even more ambitious.

Senate leaders scheduled Friday's vote under a procedure that required the unanimous consent of all members present. Now the Pirate Act, along with a related bill that criminalizes using camcorders in movie theaters, will be forwarded to the House of Representatives for approval.

Radio Free Berkeley is giving workshops on how to build your own pirate^H^H^H^H^H^H^H low-power FM radio station, and what to do when the radio cops come a-knockin'.

Building your own station is also illegal. Dunifer advises his students to enlist the help of an attorney before hopping the airwaves. But he describes microbroadcasting as "electronic civil disobedience" rather than a typical criminal act.

"As far as I'm concerned, the real pirates are the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) and their member stations," Dunifer said, referring to the powerful lobbying group. "They've stolen the airwaves with the full complicity of the FCC and Congress."

Michael Moore: pirate my film, please

Michael Moore: pirate my film, please 07/04/2004 12:27 PM

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has recently gone on record stating that downloading and watching his films was fine as long as people didn't try to make money off them. In a way, it's a classic struggle between a filmmaker creating works he wants the world to see, while the studio that produced it would rather everyone pay to see it instead of downloading. Other directors have backed up his position and the current distributor is allowing the downloading to take place.

Here are Moore's full quotes on the subject of 9/11 downloads:

I don’t agree with the copyright laws and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people as long as they’re not trying to make a profit off my labour. I would oppose that. I do well enough already and I made this film because I want the world, to change. The more people who see it the better, so I’m happy this is happening. Is it wrong for someone who’s bought a film on DVD to let a friend watch it for free? Of course it’s not. It never has been and never will be. I think information, art and ideas should be shared.

Is this guy a movie director or one of our board members?

The increased exposure to his films, protection from commercial exploits, and general disagreement with current copyright sounds a lot like the reasons why Creative Commons was formed and why we have our licenses in the first place. Perhaps the next Moore film will be licensed, making the downloading legal from the start.

Update: Help Cory pirate his own story 09/07/2004 08:39 AM
Cory Doctorow: I ran into the editors of Science Fiction World, the Chinese magazine that translated and printed my story "Nimby and the D-Hoppers" without asking (or even letting me know!), at the WorldCon. They gave me a copy of the issue, which has super-cool anime-style illos, and have promised to send me the text electronically to post under a Creative Commons license when they get back to China.

They say that they have a deal with the Chinese copyright office where if they give a royalty to the office, they get permission to translate and publish the story -- this sounds to me like a weird, and somewhat wishful reading of the appendix to the Berne agreement on the compulsory translation right.

In any event, I'm not all that out-of-sorts about this (I wasn't to begin with, and less so now that I've made some peace with them). I'll let you know if they come through with the electronic text and post it once they do -- thanks so much for all the support on this, it was really cool to see everyone spring into action (and I had no idea that Boing Boing/I had so many Chinese-speaking/residing readers!).
