CyberCafe Violence

CyberCafe Violence 08/23/2004 06:36 AM

Anti-violence rules in effect at L.A. cybercafes: Apparently there's violence in and around "cybercafes" in L.A. I'm assuming "cybercafe" is a trendy way of saying "coffee shop with kiosk machines and wifi."

Los Angeles is the largest of several Southern California cities to enact restrictions on Internet gaming parlors. The ordinance was proposed after several shootings in 2002 near cybercafes, two of them fatal.

A police analysis found that most of the people arrested at cybercafes were minors who violated curfew or truancy rules. Officials were concerned that the cafes were havens for gang activity.

First of all, why cybercafes of all places to center gang activity? Second, why the violence? Did someone take the "good" computer or something?

AP - Relatively few Indians can afford home PCs, so millions go online in the nation's jammed Internet cafes, enjoying their low cost and anonymity. But police in Bombay are planning to monitor cybercafes, a move some are decrying as excessive regulation that could create a dangerous precedent.

Valve Software Bullying Cybercafes

Valve Software Bullying Cybercafes 06/11/2004 05:34 PM
Ernest Miller writes "Yesterday, Valve CEO Gabe Newell thanked the gaming coummunity for helping to catch those responsible for the theft of Half-Life 2 code by saying, "Everyone here at Valve is once again reminded of how much we owe to the gaming community." What he didn't say was that Valve was demonstrating its appreciation by threatening to sue a cybercafe that was offering Valve's Counter-Strike as one of the games people could play. Companies like Microsoft often let cybercafes offer their games as long as they buy each copy of the game they use. At the other end of the scale, Valve charges more than most cybercafes can afford to let them use 5-year old, freely downloadable as a mod, games. Furthermore, instead of merely sending a cease and desist letter ("knock it off or we will sue"), Valve sent a prepay us for a license or we'll sue letter. In other words, unless the cybercafe pays for a one-year license, they will be sued. The next time you don't find any Valve games at your local LAN center, you'll know why. Perhaps fans of LAN gaming and the professional gaming leagues ought to consider whether Valve's aggressive, overbearing stance towards LAN centers is helpful to the gaming community or not. "

Xeni Jardin: Ernest Miller says,

A couple of days ago BoingBoing posted a story about the harrassment Jeremy Wright, who is Canadian, faced when he told US Immigration officials that he was a blogger. Although it is unclear why he was treated so poorly by US government officials, one possible explanation is that, as a blogger, he is also a journalists. Journalists, even from friendly countries, are required to have special "I Visas" that normal tourists are not required to have. Journalists without these visas have beeen similarly harrassed. Maybe we ought to change that law.
