Moving and Copyright
07/16/2004 01:53 AMWe're moving our offices to San Francisco tomorrow. I'm packing
boxes. Just noticed that our Fellowes brand cardboard file boxes carry
a copyright notice: (c) Copyright 2001 Fellowes, Inc. Sure am glad
they included that. Was about to pirate.
Copyright legislation fails in Congress
Copyright legislation fails in Congress
12/19/2004 02:59 PM
While the United States Supreme Court has decided to
examine a key aspect of copyright and technology, several strong
copyright measures have failed to pass through Congress to the
president's desk. These include the controversial
INDUCE Act
and
the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2004 . Amidst a
flurry of lobbying, while the House and Senate each sometimes passed a
bill, agreement between the two legislative chambers did not occur.

copyright exemptions
Librarian of Congress grants DMCA
copyright exemptions
11/05/2003 01:25 PM
The Librarian of
Congress
granted several
exemptions to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ( DMCA ,
1998). The ruling covers
:
(1.) decoding lists of Web pages or directories blocked by Internet
filtering software, also known as censorware; (2.) circumventing
obsolete digital rights management devices called "dongles" that
prevent access due to malfunction or damage; (3.) accessing computer
programs and video games distributed in obsolete formats; and (4.)
accessing ebooks for which the publisher has disabled the read-aloud
function or the ability to use screen readers to render the text into
a specialized format, such as Braille for access by the blind.
The DMCA provides for the Librarian to review implementations
every three years. Seth
Finkelstein led the lobbying for this set. The majority of
requests for exemptions, however, did
not succeed, and the Act
remains
controversial .

threat of jail time for evil cyberspace deeds.

Bill Gates Says The Smarts Are Moving To
The Ends
03/22/2005 05:03 PMBack in January, Nicholas Carr became the latest in a long line of
folks to think he came up with the idea for the network computer. He
wrote an opinion piece in Business Week saying that
the
desktop computer was dead and that with all these web-based
applications, you'd never need another desktop again. Bill Gates
apparently found this article worthy of attention to the point that
he's penned a response
noting that the power of the PC isn't just in centralized
servers but in the fact that plenty of intelligence has moved out
to the ends of the network. To some extent, he's underplaying this
point. There obviously is plenty of room for server-based
applications, and many users are moving more and more applications in
that direction. However, just because there are more network-enabled
server-based apps, it doesn't mean the power at the ends is useless.
Those cycles are an
opportunity that can be used, whether in
distributed computing applications or for other local tasks.

The United States Congress is
considering two new bills concerning copyright infrigement.
The Protecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Expropriation ( PIRATE
) Act would expand the Justice
Department 's power to pursue copyright infringers. In a related
vein is the proposed Piracy
Deterrence and Education Act , which would establish punishments
for and further government abilities to pursue traders dealing in unusually high amounts of content.

Congress Wants Anti-Spyware Bill, No

07/19/2004 01:16 PMDeclan McCullough is looking at one of the anti-spyware bills that's
rocketing its way
through Congress so that politicians can tell their constituents
that they "banned spyware" in time for the November elections.
Unfortunately, like with the CAN SPAM Act, the bill they're pushing
could possibly make the problem worse, not better. Even more annoying
is that it sounds as though a much better anti-spyware bill has been
introduced by others -- but politicians have no time to actually look
at which one is better, since they need to rush this bill through
before they all run home to campaign for the election. Politics at
work.
