President Bush is targeting their combined 27 electoral votes — the same total as Florida, where a bitterly contested recount settled the last election.

How History Gets Twisted

How History Gets Twisted 08/15/2004 11:47 AM
A short way into this review of a new book about Microsoft, a Boston Globe correspondent writes:

"A guilty finding was overturned on appeal, and the government settled with the company, imposing restrictions on its business practices. The resulting introspection persuaded Gates to stand aside as chief executive in favor of Steve Ballmer, who would be his partner in remaking the company."

The number of misstatements in just these two sentences is fairly amazing.

The judge's ruling that Microsoft had repeatedly violated the law was not overturned. (And there are no "guilty" or "not guilty" findings in civil antitrust cases to start with; this wasn't a criminal matter, though it probably should have been.) The appeals court specifically agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft was a serial offender, though it did back Microsoft's position in a small portion of the charges.

The Bush administration's "settlement" was a cave-in, giving back what it had already won in court.

The "impositions" on Microsoft's business practices are widely seen outside the company (and probably inside) as next to meaningless, and certainly haven't had any visible effect on competition in an industry that Microsoft still controls.

Ballmer became CEO in 2000, before Judge Jackson ordered the breakup of the company, and long before the appeals court overruled him. I bring all this up mainly to point back to the first item -- the notion that the company was cleared of wrongdoing. This has become popular "wisdom," and it's incorrect. Every judge that has had to rule on this has agreed that Microsoft broke the law to maintain its monopoly. Let's at least remember that much.

How Copyright Policy Gets Twisted

How Copyright Policy Gets Twisted 06/26/2004 10:52 AM

The Register's Andrew Orlowski analy zes the latest, and perhaps most serious, threat from the copyright cartel. The legislation, sponsored by senators from both major U.S. political parties (here's my previous posting about this horrid bill), is aimed at peer to peer technology but has a much wider application. As Andrew notes, citing warnings from critics of this legislation, "It may soon be possible to carry around an AK-47 assault rifle and an iPod with you down the street - and be arrested for carrying the iPod." He asks how this could be happening, given that Orrin Hatch, the key sponsor, once seemed to be on the side of fair use and other users' rights. Part of it is money, no doubt. Andrew aims a well-deserved barb at the technology community for not taking its case to Congress in a more organized way, and this is also true. But I think he underestimates two things. First, the tech industry's leaders have not just stopped fighting Hollywood and the record companies. They've embraced the cartel. This spectacular piece of cowardice, driven by a warped sense of what's in the tech moguls' best business interests, means that technology innovation must essentially be approved by the cartel or modified so as not to annoy the copyright industry. Second, technologists have a remarkably short attention span. They flit from idea to idea, changing products and business models at the drop of a hat because they live in an ever-morphing universe where rapid change is the norm. The copyright cartel has, if nothing else, a deep and abiding motivation to maintain control. It is relentless. It has basically one issue, and pockets deep enough to stay with the fight. I tend to respect Hollywood and the music companies for their single-mindedness, even though I have little respect for their position on this matter. I have growing distaste for the technology industry, which seems to have few principles of any kind. And the public interest gets squashed.
