Cameron Diaz Can Tell People What Not To Link To?

Cameron Diaz Can Tell People What Not To
Link To?
07/16/2004 07:02 PM

Time for another thorny legal question concerning this wonderful thing we know as hypertext and the web. Apparently, there's some video out there of well-known actress Cameron Diaz that she doesn't want people seeing (something involving stuff she did when she was young and would rather the world didn't know about). Last year, she got an injunction against the person who was selling the video, saying that he was banned from "disseminating, distributing, publishing, broadcasting or otherwise displaying the photos and/or video." Fairly standard stuff. However, the injunction went one step further, claiming, that the ruling applied to "all others having knowledge or notice of this order." So, along comes Nick Denton's set of bloggers, where the folks at Fleshbot, Defamer and Gawker all had a field day with the fact that this video existed, and proceeded to link to a site that sold the video, as well as posting a screen shot from the video. This quickly resulted in a fairly nasty cease and desist letter from Ms. Diaz' lawyers -- even though they did not host or sell the video themselves. At first glance, this looks like a question about linking, and whether or not a judge can set up an injunction banning anyone (who knows about the injunction) from linking to a website. As has been discussed many times before, any ban on linking is ridiculous. The site doing the linking isn't hosting anything, but just pointing. However, what isn't getting as much coverage is the fact that the sites posted screenshots, which could fall under "otherwise displaying the photos" described in the injunction. At this point, it becomes a journalism question. Can people be barred from posting an image for journalistic reasons? The story of the video is now news, and the Gawker sites reported on it as news. Thus, it seems completely fair to include an image. Also, take it one step further. What if, instead of hosting the image themselves, they simply pulled it directly off another site? That's the same thing as linking, basically. Even more importantly, though, an awful lot of people (such as myself) who otherwise never would have known (or, frankly, cared) about what Ms. Diaz did a decade ago now know. Like Barbara Streisand before her, it looks like Ms. Diaz is getting a quick lesson in how the internet works: if you try to ban something or take it down, it's very likely that it will only get much, much more attention.

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

I've been using MoinMoin, a python based wiki because I thought I'd be able to hack it since I was learning python. It turns out that I haven't had any time to hack MoinMoin and frankly, it looks too difficult for me. The SocialText (I'm an investor and on the board) wiki software has become quite stable with some cool features so I've decided to switch my main wiki from Moin Moin to SocialText. The question I have is whether I should migrate pages from my old wiki and whether I should continue running the old wiki. If I am going to migrate the pages, another question is how to move the pages... Anyone have any thoughts?

[Joi Ito]

I've been waiting for this to happen. Software needs professioanls to support it. This is the secret viral strategy of open source software. Once people start using it - they're hooked.

I knew that the open, unsupported Wiki Joi had - would someday HAVE to switch to SocialText.

Congrats to Ross and Pete et al.

Now (along with the LobbyCon Wiki) - I'm up to 7 SocialText Wikis.

Spolsky's Link Fu


Spolsky's Link Fu 04/03/2005 11:54 PM

I love reading Joel Spolsky. The guy is so smart it makes your eyes water sometimes. I just read his five-part series on The Road to FogBugz 4.0. It was actually just so-so for Spolsky, but that's still really good for anyone else.

What's great about this stuff is the wicked link-fu he always has going on. Here are almost a half-dozen links I extracted from this series, any one of which could make a post all by itself.

  • A Plan for Spam. This is the original 2002 essay by Paul Graham that put Bayesian analysis and spam filtering together, and led to the most effective tool against spam we have these days.

  • Hugarian notation - it's my turn now. This is a great essay about Apps Hungarian notation and why Spolsky claims it's the only way to write code.

  • Brainf**k. An actual programming language with a 200 byte compiler and a name could couldn't repeat to your mother.

  • Larkware. A seemingly excellent site about programming by Mike Gunderloy, who wrote this book. Spolsky wrote the forward, which is reprinted he re.

  • The Hazards of Hiring. Yet another essay on how to manage staffing levels in a small company (something we're struggling with right now).
