Copyright Common Sense


Copyright Common Sense 03/06/2004 01:58 AM
The Cato Institute's Adam Thierer's makes good sense in this essay on how to draw lines in the copyright debate. Key quote:
"But how we call in the cops and who the IP cops are makes a big difference. In particular, we shouldn’t expect Congress or regulatory agencies to legislate on every problem that creeps up or ban or mandate specific technological solutions in an attempt to solve IP debates. But when certain parties are egregiously violating the rights of copyright holders, they are certainly justified in seeking redress in the courts."

Dinosaur 0, Common Sense 1


Dinosaur 0, Common Sense 1 05/29/2004 05:05 AM
Barney is a 6 year old boy whose dad bought the .co.uk domain of his name so he can use it when he's older. Barney is a 60 million year old malevolent purple dinosaur and wants "his" domain name back. Hilarity, thinly vieled contempt and common-sense ensues .. (via NTK)

Common(s) Sense of Thomas Paine


Common(s) Sense of Thomas Paine 01/11/2004 07:56 AM
David Richards writes, and evilsite.org says, that Thomas Paine assigned the copyright to "Common Sense" to the Continental Congress. Richards speculates he was the first to do so, and should thus be a model for Creative Commons. So at first I thought that was right (the model part; I don't know enough about the history part). But here's why I don't think so now: We should distinguish in this debate between altruistic copyright policy, and reasonable copyright policy. I'm all for altruism, and we certainly don't have enough out there. But Creative Commons is not about altruism; it is about reasonableness. CC says balance, not self-less. It is trying to find a way to restate what balance there should be "in the digital world" (how I hate that phrase). Voluntarily, no doubt, but not self-lessly. Self-lessness, and sainthood, like free and open source software, have enough models out there. CC is not yet another.

School Bans Common Sense


School Bans Common Sense 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Bellev ue school bans hats, hoods... In order to curtail unproven gang activity, Interlake High School has banned baseball caps, and the wearing of hoods, stemming from alleged gang involvement on the part of a few students. The faculty "believes" there to be gang actvity, and we all know that gangs require hooded-sweatshirt / ballcap uniforms, or you're out... Gang members can usually be singled out due to their poor fashion taste, but it has nothing to do with how they joined. This must be more of that freedom we North Americans seems to endorse so much...

My rating: 4 out of 5

The title of the book is its chief personal design premise. All of the tips, techniques, and examples presented revolve around users being able to surf merrily through a well-designed site with minimal cognitive strain. Readers will quickly come to agree with many of the book's assumptions, such as "We don't read pages--we scan them" and "We don't figure out how things work--we muddle through." Coming to grips with such hard facts sets the stage for Web design that then produces topnotch sites. This is the type of book you can blow through in a couple of evenings. But despite its conciseness, it will give you an expert's ability to judge Web design.

FCC's Powell Talks Common Sense, but
Where's Policy?


FCC's Powell Talks Common Sense, but
Where's Policy?
07/14/2004 03:30 PM
Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, talked a great game last night at the Al ways On conference at Stanford. He spoke out for an open architecture on the Net; indicated that the broadcast "indecency" rules are at best questionable from a Constitutional and logical framework, and generally impressed a crowd of technologists and tech constituents. I'll be happier when his views translate more firmly into FCC policies, and when Congress discovers that the distinction between media are growing far too hazy for the old rules. But this is genuine progress.
  • There's lots of blogging going on here. My older, wiser brother Steve is part of the ZDNet team that's posting here.
  • Oh, here's Powell's al leged blog, which has been drawing attention. I say "alleged" because while I think it's great that he's posting and listening -- two of the major components of blogging -- this neither looks nor feels like the real thing. Still, it's interesting, and the comments he's drawn from all kinds of folks are terrific.

    Q: No female Wookiees?

    A: Though Chewbacca's warrior chums all appear to be male, the fur makes it difficult to tell at a glance. In fact, a female Wookiee (Chewbacca's wife, Malla) was featured in the 1978 Star Wars holiday TV special.

    Also covered: how come Padme's pregnancy is over so fast, why does General Grevious have a bad cough, and why didn't Qui-Gon come back?

    (But let's not forget that Star Wars Holiday Special — who can forget a show with a song sung by Bea Arthur as the bartender in the Mos Eisley cantina? Thanks to Wikipedia, it's legacy is securely preserved.)

    SAN FRANCISCO -- IBM likes to talk about "autonomic computing," in which at its core is a self-management mechanism for a system or systems. Sun Microsystems, which is normally good at dreaming up such monikers, doesn't hang a name like that on Solaris 10, which is available now in beta and will be generally available in September. But "autonomic" would certainly describe some of the key features in the upcoming release.
