[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the
State of Play
conference.]
I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my
primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I
not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game
problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group
interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns.
So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here
(and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm
going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in.
And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier
about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I
want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far
can we go in that direction?"
Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing
or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds
to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the
question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we
maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?"
I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to
do a little background on group structure and the tension between the
individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance
in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought
experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the
users.

says:
A East London dance club held an all-deaf rave, featuring
signing-karaoke, deaf rap, a standup comdian, and all the pumping
basslines they could handle. Problem was, the lights were flashing so
much, no one could chat with each other at the bar. Perhaps they
should hook up with this guy to get a
more moving experience.

Silent rave with wireless headphones
03/30/2005 04:33 AMCory Doctorow:
UK's Glastonbury music festival will get around a late-night ban on
loud bass by handing wireless headphones out to the attendees,
producing a silent rave:
"I like the idea of people dancing in total silence," said Emily
Eavis, one of the festival organisers and daughter of the founder
Michael Eavis. "Imagine if you were feeling a bit worse for wear and
thought, 'This would be a nice quiet place to sit down'.
"You would be completely freaked out to see 3000 people dancing in
silence. It's certainly quirky, but our big push this year is keeping
the noise down because that's what the council is keen on."

Rave-MP AMP 128 Flash Player Reviewed
Rave-MP AMP 128 Flash Player Reviewed
09/08/2004 10:24 AM
I used to hate flash memory players, but I'm coming
around, and for one single reason: they're a commodity now. Being
cheap - this Rave-MP AMP 128 reviewed by PCWorld is only $100, and
will go for even less soon - means that I can keep a flash player
around as a backup to a hard-disk player, something to take out into
the rain maybe or throw in a bag that's going to get roughed around,
and never give it a second thought. Plus 1GB SD cards a sickeningly
cheap these days (sickening when you consider how much money you spent
on flash memory in the past).
What sells the AMP 128 specifically, though? I dunno, really - the
feature set on these things is almost exactly the same these days -
but it does have that inverted-color display, which I saw in person a
few weeks back, and is actually pretty cool.

has an interesting post on the discrepancy in congress over ClearPlay DVD players. The players
automatically remove scenes that would be offensive to sensitive
viewers, but do so in the comfort of one's own home while playing
standard movies on DVD. Some politicians oppose it because individuals
are creating derivative works and they also see it as opening the door
to "recipe hacking", which would be like producing the Grey Album by
purchasing two legal records (the original Beatles' White Album and
Jay-Z's Black Album) and combining them at home to produce a
derivative work (if DJ Dangermouse produced software that could create
his mixes).
On top of all that, since the motivation behind ClearPlay
technology is largely religious, it turns the argument on its ear to
many participants and observers. It's not hard to find folks that
loved the Grey Album but see ClearPlay technology as something to be
frowned upon, but the underlying technology and law is largely the
same. It's an interesting case and hopefully does open the doors to
all sorts of creative uses of derivative works.

mpio hd200
08/02/2004 02:08 PM
Cheese and
crackers, what is it with the MP3 player launches today? Pocket-Lint
points out two more products, from two different companies: the first
is a 64MB (ack!) from Alba clunkily called the MP364NDI [pictured
left] that is aimed at the 'beginner market' (you know, those music
rookies who can only listen to eight songs at a time) and is priced at
a barely-compensatory $55; the other is the much more attractive (the
cute girl/ugly friend syndrome, perhaps) mpio hd200, another 5GB hard
disk-based player (that's like the fourth time I've written that
today) that is nice enough looking as these things go, has integrated
FM with recording and the important-to-few-but-don't-tell-them OGG
Vorbis support. Digitalway's mpio hd200 is priced at £199 in the
UK (which is around $360 here), but if the expect to sell any in the
US I'd hazard a guess that it will retail for just under
$250.
I'm thinking Seagate and company finally dropped a boatload of hard
disks on all these vendors.

it claims to be, a case into which a Mac Mini will fit. However,
Waterfield offers a configuration with a detachable shoulder strap.
