Former Texas Lt. Gov. says he helped
Bush dodge 'Nam. 08/27/2004 07:37 PM
Former Texas Lt. Gov. says he helped Bush dodge 'Nam. "I got...I got a young man named George W. Bush into the National Guard when I was the Lt. Governor of Texas, and I'm not necessarily proud of that. But, But I did it, and I got a lot of other people into the National Guard because I thought that's what people should do when you're in office and you helped a lot of rich people. And I walked to the Vietnam Memorial wall the other day and I looked at the names of the people that died in Vietnam, and I became more ashamed of myself than I've ever been because it's the worst thing I did was help a lot of wealthy supporters, and a lot of people who had family names of importance get into the National Guard. And I'm very sorry about that, and I'm ashamed. And I apologize to you, the voters of Texas."

P2P Wins Court Battle in France

P2P Wins Court Battle in France 03/14/2005 04:34 PM
I take back some of things I had thought about our friends across the Atlantic. A French Appeal Court ruled that a countryman who downloaded 500 movies via P2P was within his rights because he used them for private viewing, not distributing or selling them to the public. He also paid tax on the blank media he recorded it on. No harm, no foul said the courts. Now that is a ruling that makes sense, common sense. Viva Le France! If you can read French, you can find the details on this website.

Musicologist wins copyright battle over

Musicologist wins copyright battle over
300-year-old works 07/17/2004 11:19 AM
BoingBoing reader John says:

Dr. Sawkins, a musicologist, has won a copyright battle in Britain over a 300 year old piece of music, "Music for the Sun King" by Michel-Richard de Lalande. I understand that particular editions of literature, for example, are often copyrighted: the layout, the footnotes, etc, are all original. But the actual editorial choices- what to include, how to conflate contradictory texts- I had assumed were not copyrightable. By the logic of this argument, a good editorial choice made in one edition of a piece of music can be seen as infringing on the same choice made in another edition.

German Walkman Inventor Wins Battle
Against Sony, Fixes Gaze on Apple

German Walkman Inventor Wins Battle
Against Sony, Fixes Gaze on Apple 06/07/2004 12:09 PM

German inventor Andreas Pavel has just settled a 20 year court battle with Sony over the origins of the Walkman, a device Pavel claimed to have patented in 1977. While Sony has spent the better part of two decades trying to ignore his claims of invention (despite the fact they paid him royalty fees for the first few years of the device's life), Pavel's near bankruptcy after a 3.7 million dollar court battle was finally rewarded by a confidential agreement in which Pavel was reportedly paid off to the tune of several million euros. Pavel, cock of the walk, is now planning to take a swipe at Apple, whose iPod has become the Walkman of this generation. Even better, Pavel has another patent in the wings: a 1989 US filing for a technology that combines the features of a portable audio player and a mobile phone. That patent will be decided on 'soon.'
