of continuations $WORK_PROJECT creates when running reports, and its
heavy use of them in general. Since it's a pretty good example of
places that're worth using continuations, I figured I'd go into some
detail. Assume, for a moment, that you've got an interactive

California's Continuing Budget Mess
California's Continuing Budget Mess
05/18/2004 11:44 AMMercury News (reg req): Future
budgets sure to fall short, state analyst says. Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger's plan to balance the upcoming budget would exacerbate
California's long-term mismatch between spending and income, creating
a nearly $8 billion shortfall two years from now, the non-partisan
legislative analyst warned Monday. The governor has ``missed an
opportunity in good economic times to ensure that we are moving toward
fiscal stability,'' said Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill.
After campaigning on a promise to make the hard choices
and genuinely deal with this problem, Schwarzenegger has done exactly
what Gray Davis did before him: Punt.
Except that the current governor, unlike Davis, had the clout to
actually get something done. He's squandering the opportunity, and
California will suffer as a result.
The Legislature shares the responsibility for this ongoing debacle,
because the lawmakers are the ones who've enacted such ridiculous
budgets over the years and now refuse to face up to what they've done.
But the one person in Sacramento who could have broken the logjam has
declined. A shame.

from the
continuing-disappointment-that-is-the-NY
TIMES department
04/10/2005 08:51 PMSo there's a view about the file-sharing debate held by most people
who don't know anything about the debate. It is a view the recording
industry likes most people to hold. It is a view far from anything
anyone interesting is saying.
The view - call it the uninformed stereotype (US) view - goes
something like this: that there are just two sides to this debate,
those who favor "piracy" and those who don't. Supporters of Grokster
are people who favor piracy, and who are against artists.
On Thursday, at the
NYPL, I
had the extraordinarily pleasure of being on stage with Jeff Tweedy
and Steven Johnson, for a discussion titled "Who Owns Culture?" The
evening started with 15 minutes of me and my "powerpoint" (actually,
Keynote), and then a 50 minute discussion with Tweedy and me,
moderated by Johnson. There was then time for questions from the
audience.
It was an extraordinary evening. I had the chance before to talk to
Tweedy, so I wasn't surprised. But he was extraordinary funny,
subtle, smart about the issues, and deeply passionate. Suffice it that
neither he nor I (as is obvious to anyone on this page) subscribe to,
or fit, within the US view. I explicitly denounced "piracy"; Tweedy --
in context -- said nothing to support the view that people should
infringe the rights of other artists.
David Carr of the New York Times was at the event. He wrote a
review.
Everyone I've spoken to loved the piece. I think they loved it because
it was a piece printed in the Times, and we're a culture that loves
attention more than accuracy.
The review is filled with quotes from Tweedy, taken out of context, to
support the US view. Nothing in the article suggests anything was said
at all contrary to the US view. One reading the piece would think,
there they go again, those supporters of theft, and haters of artists.
I'm not sure why there needs to be a NYTimes, if its role is simply to
reinforce what people already think, especially with pieces like this.
God forbid the Nation's paper of record should reflect something more
subtle or complex than the crudest view of an important debate.

continuing congressional confusion on
copyrights (ie, not just (c), or (cc),
or even (ccc) but (cccc))
07/07/2004 02:51 PMWord has it that the regulators in Washington are enamored of
Professor (in the School of Computing) Hollaar's recent paper,
So
ny Revisited, and that it is in part responsible for Congress'
current infatuation with the
Induce
Act. Professor Hollaar is a smart guy, and his paper is an
interesting and well-researched examination of secondary liability in
the context of copyright law. But if Congress thinks this justifies
the Induce Act, then there is some deep confusion somewhere. I suspect
there are two possible sources for this confusion.
(1) Hollaar discusses the scope of "inducement" liability in the
context of patent law. There are some in Congress who seem to think
that the Induce Act "merely" carries the same idea to copyright law.
This is just a mistake. The scope of the Induce Act as written is far
broader than the scope of inducing patent infringement as interpreted.
And if "all" Congress wants to do is extend patent inducement to
copyright law, then it should amendment the Induce Act to state
precisely that. That would be a vast improvement over the existing
proposal -- not enough to justify it in my mind, but it would make the
harm it will cause much much less significant.
(2) Hollaar discusses the purpose and meaning of the
Sony case. While his discussion is technically
correct enough (though the idea that copyright is the right to protect
a "business model" is really not right at all), imho, the Professor,
and in turn, the supporters of the Induce Act, are really missing the
point of Sony.
As everybody knows, Sony set the rule that when a new technology has
the "potential" to support "substantial noninfringing use" of
copyrighted material, the maker of the technology would not face
secondary liability for copyright infringement.
But what no one (in Washington, at least) seems to understand is
why Sony set that standard. It was not because the Supreme
Court is filled with copyright infringers who wanted to encourage
copyright infringement. It was instead because the Supreme Court was
filled with judges not eager to engage in the complex balancing
required to judge whether a technology creates more benefit than harm.
As the Court stated:
Sound policy, as well as history,
supports our consistent deference to Congress when major technological
innovations alter the market for copyrighted materials. Congress has
the constitutional authority and the institutional ability to
accommodate fully the varied permutations of competing interests that
are inevitably implicated by such new technology.
This is not an opinion about copyright law alone. It is an opinion
about separation of powers -- about which branch is best able to do
the necessary balancing that copyright law demands, "
within the
limits of the constitutional grant." Sony says, in effect, when a
technology is not simply a technology for violating the law, then it
is left to Congress to decide whether and how that technology is to be
regulated. Congress, not the courts.
Why is that a great idea? Because (isn't this obvious to Republicans?)
courts are awful, expensive, and slow institutions for judging
the economic effect of new technology. Soviet planners with better
lighting. And rather than bury innovators in years of litigation
before their innovation gets to market, the Sony rule says: let the
innovation go, if there is a potential for a substantial noninfringing
use, and if Congress wants to regulate it more, then let Congress
weigh the benefits of the technology against its costs.
Ignoring this extremely sensible separation of powers principle has
already cost Silicon Valley dearly. See, e.g., ReplayTV. ReplayTV is
the digital equivalent of the VCR. It does the job more efficiently,
and it promised to do some things the VCR couldn't do, too. But under
the principle of Sony (innovate first, regulate later), it should
plainly have been allowed into the market without intervention by the
courts. Yet precisely the opposite happened. Content owners sued
ReplayTV. It was dragged into federal litigation for many many months
defending its new technology. And before the case could be resolved,
the company effectively declared bankruptcy.
Is this the future Senators Hatch and Leahy want for all new
technologies that impact copyrighted material? Will every Apple be
forced to defend its innovation in a federal court? Will federal
judges become the arbiters of good technology? Will technology firms
be forced to spend more on lawyers than on R&D?
Whatever the lobbyists say about this bill, this is the single most
important fact that we should not forget: It is a lawyer employment
act. It will force technologists into court before they get to enter
the market place. It will shift responsibility for striking the
balance in copyright law from Congress to unelected federal judges.
That's not a bad thing for me, or my kind. I, after all, think the
courts have some role here (in setting the limits of copyright), and
I, after all, make lawyers for a living. But for an already
overregulated Silicon Valley, it is another nail in the coffin by the
regulating-obsessed in Washington.
