Selling Academic Edition Software







Selling Academic Edition Software

Selling Academic Edition Software 07/15/2004 07:01 PM

I'm trying to find a good deal on Dreamweaver MX 2004, since I don't want to drop $400 on it (I'm cheap). I head over to eBay to see what I can find, and see lots of dealls for $200 - $300.

However, every single one of these deals is for the academic version of the product — the one where students and educators can use it at a reduced price. I emailed one of the guys to ask how he knew I was a student. His response:

I don't know and I don't care. That's between you and Macromedia.

Nice. This must be a huge problem for software companies, because there's a lively business going on selling academic versions as the "real" thing. Since there's nothing but the honor system standing between a buyer and some cheap software, I'm sure a lot of people suddenly become "students" for the 15 minutes it takes to make the purchase.

Being the stand-up guy I am, I passed. Anyone know where I can get it cheaper than $400?

Reputation systems academic paper


Reputation systems academic paper 07/19/2004 11:47 AM
The current issue of First Monday has a thorough academic article on reputation systems.
The sharing of observations and opinions builds up a picture in each person’s mind of the reputation’s subject, which we might call the "Invisible Eye" — the distributed formation of reputations, and consequent increased ability to distinguish better from worse. To the degree that you have access to and trust the experience of others, it is almost as if you yourself had been there watching that previous situation, thus increasing your base of experience from which to judge future reliability — and increasing pressure on the subject in question to behave responsibly. The analogy to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand is not accidental; just as selfish local actions with market incentives can lead to collectively efficient behavior, locally maximizing actions with reputation incentives have the potential for similar guided emergent behavior that exceeds what might have been designed by a conscious planner.

The ultimate aim is to increase the level of collective wisdom through sharing our separate experience and expertise. This will enable a "division of experience" — instead of each of us personally suffering through scams, cheats, and mediocrity, we will be able to leverage each other’s experiences. Collectively, aided by astutely networked reputation systems, we stand the best chance of overcoming our dark side and bringing out the best in us.

Japan jails academic for writing P2P app


Japan jails academic for writing P2P app 05/10/2004 05:53 AM
A Japanese academic who wrote an anonymous P2P app has been arrested for "abetting infringement." This is the kind of perversion of justice we're accustomed to seeing in the US and Norway -- disappointing that the Japanese have so thoroughly bridged the copyright hysteria gap. The programmer faces three years in prison for writing code that allows for anonymous file-transfers. We can only hope that the team that led Microsoft's operating-system effort will be next, followed by the AppleShare team and the pesky authors of ftp.
Mr Isamu Kaneko, a 33-year-old assistant professor at the prestigious University of Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of developing and offering free downloads on his Web site file-sharing software called Winny, Kyoto Prefectural (state) police said on condition of anonymity.

He is also accused of helping two Japanese men arrested in November on charges of disseminating movies and games on the Internet with Winny, police said.
