Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

You can enter Reno by several different roads. But I defy anyone to arrive in Reno via any description other than "rolling into town." Because Reno is that kind of place. We rolled into town around 8:30pm following one of the most beautiful drives ever: the Donner Pass at dusk. Amazing... I recommend it if you happen to be a traveling musician. We arrived at the Zephyr Ba ...

It’s Not Fair

It’s Not Fair 09/11/2004 12:31 PM
Back in May, I whined that Jeremy Hedley of Antipixel would get better pictures than me even if he was using a drugstore disposable. Well, OK, so it turned out to be a cellphone camera. Sigh. (Oh yes, and Simon Phipps has a little masterpiece today, too).

Jason Kottke was just on G4's Attack of the Show, and thanks to my hacked TiVo, it's available as a 85Mb MPEG2 torrent.

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

Last week we posted a story written by my colleague David Graham titled Proven: Windows is more secure than Linux. It was one of the better-read pieces on the site this week. Four days after the article was posted, David did a Google search and found more than half a dozen sites had linked to the piece -- flattering. But at least three sites posted all or a substantial portion of the piece on their own sites -- and that's a problem.

I'm giving a couple of talks in Singapore in December and one of my kind hosts has sent me a form on which I'm to list every copyrighted and non-copyrighted source I use in the handouts, along with this explanation of what constitutes fair use in Singapore. I'd say that this is what we have to worry about our copyright law doing to the free expression of ideas, but I'm afraid you're going to tell me that this is in fact where our copyright law already is. Sigh....

Fair Use with DVDs

Fair Use with DVDs 07/08/2004 08:25 PM

NY Times: Whose DVD? A Debate Over Copies. The free copying tools are available through Internet sites that are not directly subject to American law, often because the nations that those sites call home permit individuals to copy material for their own use. People seeking such tools need only pose the question in an Internet search engine to find dozens of sites devoted to the subject, including the Afonic DVD Guides site (www .dvd-guides.com), run by Joseph Chatzimichail, a 20-year-old electrical and computer engineering student in Salonika, Greece.

"Fair use" is a doctrine of copyright law (with counterparts in patent and trademark law as well) that allows a degree of unauthorized copying of copyrighted works. Shocking! Squatters' rights! Can a teenager take my car for a joy ride and when he's caught plead "fair use"--that I wasn't using...

Fair use is a right AND a defense 09/09/2004 02:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: The entertainment companies often tell us that "fair use isn't a right, it's a defense." It's techincally true, but legally disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing list post, "I've heard Peter Jaszi say on several occasions (and more eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our *right* to free speech."

College To Do Away With Fair Use

College To Do Away With Fair Use 12/17/2003 09:34 PM
The latest silliness from our college campuses is this bit of news from Ithaca College, where they're planning to tell professors that fair use no longer exists when it comes to course packs (the photocopied excerpts from various sources that many professors use to give students short excerpts from a variety of sources). While most such course packs do involve some approved material, much of it is often used on a fair-use basis - but university administrators are afraid of getting sued. Thus, they're going to tell professors that they need to license every last bit of content they use. This means that (a) professors will ditch a lot of materials, because they don't have time to get approval from everyone or because the publisher wants too much money to include a single paragraph and (b) the course packs will be much more expensive with less useful stuff for students. In some cases, professors will simply put the materials on library loan, where students will go and photocopy it anyway - basically adding an "annoyance" factor to the process. It's a great lesson we're teaching the students of today when they don't get to read certain materials because it's just too damn expensive.
