their users swap online.

Bill targets firms that 'induce'
copyright violations
07/06/2004 10:14 AMNew legislation recently introduced by a group of powerful U.S.
senators would allow artists and entertainment companies to sue
creators of products, such as peer-to-peer (P-to-P) software, that
"induce" copyright violations. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman
Orrin Hatch, clearly targeting P-to-P vendors, claimed his bill
focuses on companies that profit by encouraging children and teenagers
to infringe copyrights. "It is illegal and immoral to induce or
encourage children to commit crimes," Hatch, a Utah Republican, said
in a statement. "Tragically, some corporations now seem to think that
they can legally profit by inducing children to steal. Some think they
can legally lure children into breaking the law with false promises of
'free music.'"
Web Site for GPL Violations?
Web Site for GPL Violations?
01/16/2004 11:33 AMWhat is the Best Way to Handle a GPL
Violation?: There should be a Web site solely to track GPL
violations. It'd be a nice way to keep everything in the same
place.
When you find that somebody is violating the GPL by
distributing your code or a derivative of your code as a closed source
product, how do you go about handling it? I have found two violations
of the GPL for my Java Utilities, in the last month.

I'm not sure exactly how I turned it on, how to turn it off, or where
the list of errors is maintained, but it's pretty helpful. ...Except
that it corrects my trademark violations. For example, if I type
"laundromat," it goes tut-tut and changes it to "Laundromat." I
violate trademarks with pride and I don't want to be in a culture war
with my word processor. Besides, is Microsoft going to issue a patch
so it slaps a trademark on "That's hot" now that Paris Hilton has
trademarked...

04/20/2004 04:49 PMOakland Tribune:
Diebold knew of legal risks.
Attorneys for Diebold
Election Systems Inc. warned in late November that its use of
uncertified vote-counting software in Alameda County violated
California election law and broke its $12.7 million contract with
Alameda County.
Soon after, a review of internal legal memos obtained by the Oakland
Tribune shows Diebold's attorneys at the Los Angeles office of Jones
Day realized the McKinney, Texas-based firm also faced a threat of
criminal charges and exile from California elections.
Yet despite warnings from the state's chief elections officer, Diebold
continued fielding poorly tested, faulty software and hardware in at
least two of California's largest urban counties during the Super
Tuesday primary, when e-voting temporarily broke down and voters were
turned away at the polls.

Try, try again. It seems that even if Microsoft can shake the
government's antitrust pursuit, they're still getting hit from other
angles. The latest is that RealNetworks has filed
an antitrust suit against Microsoft, claiming that they're using
their operating system monopoly to limit choice on digital media.
They're going to ask for somewhere around $1 billion dollars.
Microsoft has done an amazing job shaking off every such lawsuit in
the past. You wonder if, one day, one of these will stick.

DOJ Doesn't See Any Antitrust Violations
In Failed Online Music Stores
12/23/2003 06:56 PM
The Justice Department has ended antitrust investigations into the music industry's
early attempts at online music stores, MusicNet and Pressplay -
both of which were seen as pretty disastrous failures. The original
complaint was that the music industry was making it hard for others to
offer music online in order to help boost sales of their own efforts.
What happened was the industry's own efforts didn't go very far, and
now just about everyone seems to be doing deals with the industry to
set up download stores, so it's not too hard to see why the DOJ is
shutting down the investigation. Of course, another investigation
could be made if anyone decides to look into the question of why the
industry is holding a universal line on the price per song download.

School Officials Accused Of Violations
In Using Student's Mobile Phone
05/03/2004 04:44 PM
The question of mobile phones in schools has come up many times - and
the general opinion towards them seems to change with the times. It
used to be that they were banned, but following Columbine and
September 11, many schools changed their minds, realizing that phones
serve a safety purpose as well. More recently, schools are banning
them again as they fear the overhyped potential of camera phones to
cause problems. No matter what, though, schools most schools are
pretty strict in saying phones should not be used in class (for
obvious reasons). Thus, it's not news worthy to hear of a mobile
phone being confiscated from a high school student by a teacher and a
a school administrator. However, for them to then take that phone, check its text messages and voicemails,
call other students in the addressbook and send out deceptive text
messages seems to go well beyond what should legally be allowed.
The teacher and the assistant principal involved claimed that they
believed the student was involved with drug dealing after reading a
text message from his girlfriend asking for a tampon (which they claim
is common drug slang). Of course, that means they read the text
message before they suspected him of any drug dealing activities.
Furthermore, to then call other students and demand they come down to
the office, as well as sending deceptive text messages to others seems
to go well beyond what is acceptable practice in confiscating a phone.
The family of the student is now considering taking the case to
court, while the school district is still trying to defend their
actions. The article linked here has quite a few details behind the
case, so it's definitely worth reading.
