Convicted Criminal Says His Name Is
Copyrighted, Sues Court For Infringement 12/09/2003 07:32 PM
Not that this guy has much of a case, but if you want an example of just how screwy copyright law is, take a look at this case. A prison inmate in Missouri who was convicted of mail fraud is trying to sue the judge in his case for copyright infringement - claiming that he owns the copyright on his name. He's demanding $33 million - $500,000 for each time the name is mentioned in court documents. Amusingly, the newspaper article does not name the guy. Perhaps they're afraid of a lawsuit, too? Of course, sending out bogus lawsuits against the federal government probably isn't such a good idea. They're countersuing him for making false claims. He's also in trouble because he didn't actually file the legal documents to sue, but made up fake ones. Of course, while you may scoff at the claim that this guy has a copyright on his name, it may not be that far-fetched, since the Supreme Court has now said that Ros a Parks can sue the band Outkast for using her name in a song.

WiFi Criminal Tracked Down Via Other
Means 06/26/2004 01:19 AM
A few weeks ago we linked to an article from someone freaking out that (gasp!) a virus writer could release a virus from an unsecured WiFi access point and no one would ever be able to track him down. This is a bogus complaint. Most criminals try not to leave a trace of where they came from, and that's what real detective/forensics work is about: tracking them down. So, just because you can't figure out who they were because they were on an access point, you can still get clues, and let traditional detective work take over. That appears to be exactly what the FBI did to track down an online extortionist who used unsecured WiFi access points to secretly send out his demands. The FBI used other clues to figure out who the guy was and caught him that way. It's not clear why some computer security people seem to think that the only clues to computer crimes must also be on the computer.

French Court Says Yahoo Isn't A War
Criminal After All

French Court Says Yahoo Isn't A War
Criminal After All 04/06/2005 09:36 PM
Three years ago, a French court decided that Yahoo and it's chief executive were war criminals for allowing the sale of Nazi memorabilia on non-French websites (Yahoo did block them from Yahoo's French site). Since then, there have been a variety of appeals and discussions about juris dictional issues online, eventually leading to a ruling out of a Parisian Appeals Court today admitting that perhaps Yahoo wasn't a war criminal after all. While that (finally) does make sense, it still doesn't clear up the very big jurisdictional questions this case raised. If we're held to the standard that anyone can reach any content online, and therefore any law applies, then it will cripple the internet -- as the most stringent laws will be held to apply across the board. However, it seems like everyone is still ignoring this issue until it strikes again.

Software That Lasts For Years And Years

Software That Lasts For Years And Years 07/14/2004 06:51 PM
We were just talking about the rise of quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming, and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level "big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed the problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin is now suggesting that people need to start designing "Societal Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though, Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming, though not necessarily the way people view open source programming today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas will actually catch on.
