Lessig : Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop 07/24/2004 06:07 PM

Lessig writes an open letter to Bill O'Reilly from the FOX News show The Factor. Lessig has been blogging a lot about OutFoxed, Richard Greenwald's film criticizing FOX News. Lessig links to a clip from the film, the original interview with Jeremy Glick and the offending anti-war ad. He takes on point by point the series of false accusations that O'Reilly has been making about Glick in an unfair smear campaign against his Glick.

Lawrence Lessig

Mr. O'Reilly, please just stop.

Mr. O'Reilly,

You have declared a "war" on the New York Times. That's good for you, good for them, and good for our democracy: Strong opinions deserve strong spokesmen. Your battle will help sharpen a debate about matters important to the Republic.

But in waging this "war," you are continuing to abuse a man whom you have wronged, and to whom you owe an apology.

On February 4, 2003, Jeremy Glick was your guest on THE FACTOR. Glick had lost his father in the attack of 9/11. He had also signed an ad criticizing the war in Iraq. You were "surprised" that one who had lost his father could oppose that war. And so you had him on your show, presumably to ask him why. (Here's a clip from Outfoxed putting this story together.)

You might not remember precisely what you said on that interview, or more importantly, what Jeremy Glick said. So here's a copy that you can watch. Nor may you remember precisely what the ad that Jeremy Glick signed said. Here's a copy that you can read. And when you've watched what was actually said, and read what was actually written, I'm sure you will see that the statements you continue to make about Jeremy Glick are just plain false. Not Bill Clinton "depends upon what is is" false, but false the way most Americans learned growing up: just not true.

Please read Lessig's entire post.

Shame on you, Dick Cheney, Shame on you. 01/12/2004 12:47 AM

I can't believe Cheney changed his stance on gay marriage, and so completely at that.

What kind of father goes out on a national stage and says he doesn't believe his own daughter deserves the same rights in her life that he enjoys with his own marriage?

It's not like Dick and Mary have a bad relationship, all his quotes from 2000 supported her and kept her out of the limelight, while she put off grad school to work on his campaign and consulted on gay issues for the 2000 election. They reportedly accept Mary's longtime partner, Heather Poe, into their home and call her part of the family.

The vice president and his wife have fought for family values without completely alienating their daughter until now. I know sometimes career takes precidence over family and that Bush and Cheney have shown on more than one occasion that they can be hypocritical, but Cheney just proved he's worse than all that. He's a shitty father for not defending his daughter.

For Shame Zend! For Shame!

For Shame Zend! For Shame! I saw over on PHP Everywhere that Zend is having an Interview / Online event with Zeev about PHP 5 (Zeev = Senior Demi God of PHP type of fellow). Yesterday it came up fine but I refreshed the window this morning and then got this message: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c' Path not found D: INTERWISE WWWVC IWCAMPUS ICCFILES ZEND EVENTPAGE OI1336../../../../Include/DBConnectionString.inc, line 52 (spaces added for proper breaks in this template) [_Go_] You know something ... I could actually care less about the VBScript stuff (but it is funny) but I do find it really unacceptable that a vendor you pay money to goes down like this. PHP is a highly international community and, consequently, so is Zend. While it may be 7 am in Boston, it's not in London or Israel or other markets they serve. Hasn't anyone heard of monitoring your site for failure and then pinging an admin's pager ? Note: I'm not saying I'm perfect here myself but I'm also not running this type of a 24x7 service. Still the hosting for my clients doesn't go down.

Larry takes on and takes apart the intellectually dishonest Cato article on Dean's Internet policy. Here's a snippet: Apparently Cato thinks the end-to-end neutrality of the original internet was a weakness. Governments do too: It's harder to regulate internet behavior when intelligence is at the ends; so too is it harder to protect legacy business models when intelligence is at the ends. But while I understand (and even predicted) why governments and legacy businesses will therefore fight the end-to-end character of the Internet, I don't get why a libertarian would. A libertarianism guided by principle — rather than contributors —...

Lessig tears SCO a new one

Lessig tears SCO a new one 12/04/2003 09:32 PM
Larry Lessig, having heard about Darl "SCO" McBride's latest missive, has dropped everything to write a scathing response.

We should all believe that the "progress of science" is best advanced when "Authors" have the right to do with their property whatever it is they want to do -- consistent with the law, and so long as the property right is properly balanced. And we should all believe that the "progress of science" is best advanced when that right is "vigorously protect[ed]".

But the owners of GPL'd software are doing no more than exercising this right, just as Microsoft would exercise its right. They are profiting from the right to choose the terms under which they release their software, and the terms they have chosen also have a great benefit to other software innovation. They exercise their property right; they and we benefit.

But if we are to protect that property right "vigorously," then we should take steps to protect property owners from baseless lawsuits against their right to use their property as they wish. So when it comes to the matter of sanctions against the lawyers in this case, the judge might well want to consider how important it is that the property right of copyright owners be "vigorously" defended.

My wife, my kid and I are disappearing in August to a place that has no Internet, and only a satellite phone. In my absence, Professor Tim Wu from Virginia will be running Lessig Blog. Tim and I have worked together on "net neutrality" issues, and if we can steal him from Virginia, much more in the future. In addition to Tim, August will also feature two special guests. During the week of August 9, Congressman Rick Boucher will guest blog. And then during the week of August 23, Judge Richard Posner will guest blog. As when John Edwards (1, 2, 3, 4), Howard Dean (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and Dennis Kucinich (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) were guest bloggers, I've advised Congressman Boucher and Judge Posner that my practice is not to block trolls, but that the practice of bloggers everywhere is not to feed trolls. I'd be grateful if members of this community could help keep the conversation constructive. Thanks to Congressman Boucher and Judge Posner, and to Tim Wu.

Cory Doctorow: Larry Lessig is coming to Edinburgh's Science Festival on April 2:

Leading lawyers, journalists, and technologists, including Professor Lawrence Lessig, champion of the Creative Commons initiative, will debate the future of ideas and how best to promote creative work in a digital world, at a panel discussion as part of this year's Edinburgh International Science Festival.

The talk "Cyberlaw: who controls access to ideas on the net?" chaired by Lilian Edwards of the AHRC Research Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law ("the AHRC Centre") , will be held on the 2nd April 2005. The lecture is open to the public and tickets for the event can be purchased from http://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/

The panel will discuss whether the unprecedented opportunities the Internet offers for the sharing of creative works, globally and at next to no cost, are being impeded by outmoded laws and business models.

Lessig on Open Spectrum

Lessig on Open Spectrum 03/16/2003 09:52 AM
There's an excellent article on Open Spectrum by Sir Lawrence Lessig. For example: Property systems are not free. To make sense, their benefits must outweigh their costs. Party members count two sorts of benefits from a property regime. The first is coordination?making sure that users of the spectrum don't conflict with each other. The second is allocation?making sure that the right to use a bit of spectrum is given to the highest valued user. Both benefits are indeed important. Yet both come at a cost. And if we could achieve at least some of these benefits without suffering the...

Lawrence Lessig first published Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace in 1999. After five years in print and five years of changes in law, technology, and the context in which they reside, Code needs an update. But rather than do this alone, Professor Lessig is using a wiki to open the editing process to all, to draw upon the creativity and knowledge of the community. This is an online, collaborative book update; a first of its kind. Once the the project nears completion, Professor Lessig will take the contents of this wiki and ready it for publication. The resulting book, Code v.2, will be published in late 2005 by Basic Books. All royalties, including the book advance, will be donated to Creative Commons.

Xeni Jardin: BoingBoing reader Alex says,

On his blog, Lawrence Lessig has announced a new experiment for his first book Code and other Laws of Cyberspace. He's going to post version 1 (that's the original published version) to a wiki under a Creative Commons license. Updates and corrections will then be supervised by "chapter captains", and around June time Lessig will take the contents of the wiki, and mould it into Code v2. All royalties from the book will be donoated to Creative Commons, and the wiki will live on 'for ever'. He has an email address up if you have expertise and are interested in volunteering to be a "chapter captain".

Oh the shame.

Oh the shame. 01/17/2004 10:42 PM
Books I Did Not Read This Year: For novelty or perhaps for gleeful one-downmanship, Kieran at Crooked Timber shares a list of books he did not read in 2003. Literary guilt is hardly new, but some argue our neuroses about unread books grows as our distractions multiply. Of course, this attitude (besides bordering on criticism of the glib, "pop lite" type) usually comes part and parcel with the common complaint that paper culture is dead. And one could easily make a distinction between neurotic englit-geek Guilt and the casual reader's mere missed opportunity. Without rehashing either of those discussions, what are the (presumably) best books (or any pieces of art) you didn't consume in 2003?
