10/29/2003 12:10 AMRecently, I decided that I would strive to avoid non-free software on
my computer, and that I would avoid any copyright-infringing music
downloads. What follows is the beginning of my investigation into
what music is legally available, free of charge, on the Internet. I
have tried to keep it as unbiased as possible.

Modern.
04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The most modern home built in the
world. "From the outside it looks
like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if
you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe
because you are
floating
above the city, in the sky".
John Lautner's
Chemosphere residence is the product of a
fortuitous union of
architect, client, time and place.
Leonard Malin was a young
aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just
given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The
only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable.
Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it.
"Draw it up," he told his assistant.
Now publisher
Benedik
t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20
years of neglect the house has been beautifully
restored

swapping of music online. Among the named defendants were 20 computer

Will The RIAA Sue Supernode Operators?
Will The RIAA Sue Supernode Operators?
04/20/2004 04:44 PMEd Felten is reporting that the music industry may be considering
expanding their legal attack on file sharers by
suing
those users whose computers are "supernodes" for file sharing
networks. If you're not familiar with how these file sharing
networks work, they usually try to find a number of users who have
strong connections, and turn them into an ad hoc "hub" of activity for
searching for files. Even if a supernode is used for the search, the
actual exchange of files takes place between the computers that have
and want the files. The legal reasoning is that these supernodes, in
effect, play the same role that Napster's centralized directory server
played - which is why it was deemed illegal, while the next generation
of file sharing programs was called legal since they had no
centralized directory. The RIAA's lawyers realize that they can call
the supernode users "directories" and get them in trouble for the same
reason. Once again, though, if they go through with this, it will be
a case of lawyerly thinking (we can sue and we can win) over business
thinking (what's good for business), which would realize this would
likely be a tremendous public relations nightmare. The main problem
is that most supernode users have no idea they're a supernode. The
system automatically chooses who will act as a supernode. So, you
would have the industry accusing people of breaking the law because
some software on their computer made a choice, and they may not have
actually shared any illegal files at all.

campaign, which aims to scare parents into spanking their kids for
file-sharing, and comes across as red-scare-era propaganda. It's
funny: Hollywood fought the Red Scare and McCarthyism tooth and nail,
but today, they're more than happy to appropriate its rhetoric and
tactics.

file a blizzard of lawsuits instead, and then get the
subpoenas to discover the identity of anonymous file sharers. Of
course, filing incorrect lawsuits probably looks worse (and is more
expensive) for the RIAA than filing incorrect subpoenas.
