Australia Looking To Outlaw Spyware

Australia Looking To Outlaw Spyware 12/26/2003 01:45 PM
Over in Australia, they've realized that as they try to slow down the spam tide, the worst spam scammers have moved from spam on to spyware. Thus, they're now talking about outlawing spyware - at which point the scammers will move on to something else. While I do think something needs to be done about spyware, I wonder how they're going to define spyware. Whenever politicians start outlawing technologies, there's a big risk that they'll do such a bad job of defining the software, that plenty of legitimate applications get banned as well. In the case of spyware, I guess the focus should be on applications that are installed without the computer owner's clear consent (which means not sneaking approval into an end user license agreement either).

Deleted Scenes on DVDs: Why such poor

This has bothered me for a while now. It seems that on most movie DVDs, the deleted scenes are of very poor video quality. It's as if someone went back to the cutting room, pieced together the film, scratched it a lot, and then projected it on a big screen so they could record it with a cheap-ass handheld video camera for later use on the DVD. Why is that? Anyone know?...

The Economics of Open Source Hijacking and Declining Quality of Digital Information Resources: A Case for Copyleft by Andrea Ciffolilli
http://opensourc e.mit.edu/papers/ciffolili.pdf

Abstract:
The economics of information goods suggest the need of institutional intervention to address the problem of revenue extraction from investments in resources characterized by high fixed costs of production and low marginal costs of reproduction and distribution. Solutions to the appropriation issue, such as copyright, are supposed to guarantee an incentive for innovative activities at the price of few vices marring their rationale. In the case of digital information resources, apart from conventional inefficiencies, copyright shows an extra vice since it might be used perversely as a tool to hijack and privatise collectively provided open source and open content knowledge assemblages. Whilst the impact of hijacking on open source software development may be uncertain or uneven, some risks are clear in the case of open content works. The paper presents some evidence of malicious effects of hijacking in the Internet search market by discussing the case of The Open Directory Project. Furthermore, it calls for a wider use of novel institutional remedies such as copyleft and Creative Commons licensing, built upon the paradigm of copyright customisation.
