The Register wants reform

The Register wants reform 06/24/2005 07:26 PM
According to Cathy Kirkman of Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati, the Register of Coyprights has decided to propose abolishing the compulsory right granted by section 115 of the Copyright Act. This is the provision that gives recording artists the right to record "covers," so long as they pay a specified fee. Remember this quote from a 1967 House Judiciary Report, considering a modification to the law as it existed then:

[T]he record producers argued vigorously that the compulsory license system must be retained. They asserted that the record industry is a half-billion-dollar business of great economic importance in the United States and throughout the world; records today are the principal means of disseminating music, and this creates special problems, since performers need unhampered access to musical material on nondiscriminatory terms. Historically, the record producers pointed out, there were no recording rights before 1909 and the 1909 statute adopted the compulsory license as a deliberate anti-monopoly condition on the grant of these rights. They argue that the result has been an outpouring of recorded music, with the public being given lower prices, improved quality, and a greater choice.

Copyright Law Revision, Committee on the Judiciary, 90th Cong. 1st, Sess., Rep. No. 83 66 (March 8, 1967). Apparently the Registrer believes performers no longer "need unhampered access to musical material on nondiscriminatory terms." What progress.

Patent Reform?

Patent Reform? 06/05/2005 11:19 PM

I was reading Business Week and they had a little commercial section with ads from law firms. A couple of them were intellectual-property specialists and I snarled internally; whatever you think about patent law, as a longtime businessman I’m pretty convinced that the IP law profession, while it contains many good and intelligent people, is collectively a giant leech sucking money and time out of the community of innovators. Having said that, two of the lawyers’ blurbs jumped out at me; both about proposed US legislation which would institute a new process, within the PTO as opposed to the courts, for a quick challenge to the validity of a patent. This is important, because today, defending yourself against patent-infringement litigation is insanely expensive, $1M and up, way up. This is why most companies, in particular small companies, roll over and settle quickly when they get hit with this kind of lawsuit, no matter how dopey the patent is. Here are the two reports: Defending Against Patent Greenmail (which begins Patent “trolls” are currently the subject of much discussion...; most IP specialists don’t like to admit that patent trolls exist, but they do) and New USPTO Post-Grant Patent Opposition Legislation on Horizon. I think the high-tech business community ought to get behind this legislation, big-time. Everyone except the patent trolls.

More Calls For Patent Reform 04/28/2004 01:12 PM
Yet another study has come out pointing out all of the well known problems with the patent system and suggesting it's about time something was done to fix it. They suggest that there need to be more patent examiners, there needs to be a better process for contesting patents, and examiners need to reject more "obvious" patents. Of course, as another article about the patent system makes clear, the government sees the patent office more as a revenue generator rather than as a force for innovation. As such, they're not that interested in either spending more on it or making it harder to receive patents. As far as they're concerned, the more patents granted means more people will apply, and more funds will go into the patent office coffers - which can then be raided to pay off other government bills.

Welfare Reform and Education

Welfare Reform and Education 12/17/2004 06:40 PM
Robert's Story; the Problem of Poverty in America Robert is in the third grade. He likes school, and he's pretty good at it. He started reading chapter books this year, and he likes that. He wishes he could go to school today, but he can't. He lives with his mom in their 1985 Mazda GLC. They get in trouble if they stay in one place for more than a few nights, so he can't take the school bus. This morning Robert's mom can't take him to school. She's too busy. This happens to Robert a lot. It makes him really sad. He remembers when he was in first grade he and his mom lived in an apartment. It wasn't a nice apartment, it kinda smelled funny, the carpet was a weird orange color, and the people who lived downstairs scared him. He didn't like it there, but now he just wishes they could go back. He doesn't understand why he and his mom have to be poor. One time he asked his mom, and she started crying. He doesn't ask her questions like that anymore. This is not an uncommon story. In 2003 there were 35.9 million people living below the poverty line in the United States of America, 1.3 million more than in 2002. In addition, there were millions living within the penumbra that surrounds 'official poverty', with incomes that fell above the poverty line but bellow the threshold for a decent standard of living.
