Symantec Facing Problems With Product
Activation

Symantec Facing Problems With Product
Activation 10/30/2003 11:46 PM
At least Intuit realized what a waste of time and money it was to put product activation technology into their software. Once they realized the pointlessness of it, they issued a very public apology on the matter. Unfortunately, other companies aren't quite so enlightened. Symantec is having all sorts of trouble with their product activation technology, that is preventing many legitimate users from using the software they paid good money for. Symantec is now saying that they're working on it, but can't figure out what the problem is, and can't suggest a date when they'll offer a fix. Here's a simple solution: follow Intuit's lead and ditch the activation technology altogether. The simple fact is that the software is still getting pirated. You see offers for it all the time - and it only takes a hacker a little while to figure it out. So, the only people this is really impacting are the legitimate users of your product - and you're making their lives worse. Most of these people are going to go to a competitor, and will be quite vocal about why they would never purchase anything else from Symantec. Thus, it does nothing to solve the problem, angers your customers, and drives people to competitors. How does this make sense?

Voluntary Porn Labeling As A Solution To
The Obscenity Question?

Voluntary Porn Labeling As A Solution To
The Obscenity Question? 09/24/2004 03:57 PM
Ed Felten is suggesting that a way to deal with the question of protecting children from seeing porn, a standardized, voluntary method of tagging content as "adult only" should be adopted. It's a simple idea. Basically add an <adultsonly> tag to HTML. It could block whole pages, or just sections of content. Browsers that don't recognize it would ignore it, but most browsers would probably add a simple filtering method. The incentive, Felten believes, is that adding that single tag would exempt sites from being charged with violating any laws related to letting children access porn. In some ways, this is similar, but much simpler, than the plan to set up a voluntary .xxx domain for porn. Legitimate porn sites would like it because it also would help people who are legitimately looking for porn find them. The adultsonly tag, beyond just being used to filter, could also be used as metadata for search engines trying to specifically find porn -- which would be a benefit for porn site operators.

Let your fans know they won't get sued 04/19/2004 03:11 PM

If you're a musician, and you want to let your fans know they won't get sued if they download your songs, you should check out the Music Sharing License. It lets your fans know they can download and share, but not sell or make any commercial use out of your music. The Uptones, a Bay Area based ska band, are a great example of a band who makes a few songs available under the Music Sharing License, so their fans can download, but not worry about lawsuits.
