11/13/2003 12:21 PMRichard G. "Noodle" Pearson, the obituary editor for the Washington
Post, has died. His obituary is amazing.
"On a day when everyone else is writing about a snowstorm, we're
writing about a city council member, the king of Burma, a junior high
school geography teacher, a Nobel physicist, a jazz drummer, a
baseball player. . ." he said in a 1996 interview. "As I tell people
sometimes, God is my assignment editor."

Obituary of anti-flyer fanatic
Obituary of anti-flyer fanatic
09/13/2004 12:19 PM
Mark Frauenfelder:
The LA Times has a wonderful obituary for a bit actor named Steve
Wayne (
Bedtime for Bonzo,
Dragnet, Cisco
Kid), who died at the age of 84. For the last quarter century of
his life, Wayne was monomaniacally focused on tearing down fliers that
were posted on walls and buildings.
Over the last two decades, Wayne tore down thousands of
illegal fliers tacked on fences, traffic lights and utility poles. His
quest was endless, like trying to wipe out gnats one swat at a time...
He began climbing up poles and clawing at the unwanted ads with a
garden rake, or going after them while perched on the hood of a moving
car with an accomplice at the wheel. But as fast as he tore them down,
new ones would replace them...
In 1980 he was so upset by the proliferation of handbills for the
Roxy, Troubadour and Whiskey a Go Go nightclubs that he spray-painted
"Keep L.A. Clean" on the outsides of the famous establishments. He was
arrested on suspicion of malicious vandalism, a charge that could have
brought jail time and a steep fine...
He kept at it nearly up to the day he died, stopping to rip down
signs "even when coming home from his chemo appointments," his
daughter, Cathy Wayne, said in an interview.

Aaron Swartz - Downloading Isn't
Stealing
Aaron Swartz - Downloading Isn't
Stealing
01/09/2004 10:12 PMThe New York Times
Upfront asked me to contribute a short piece to a
point/counterpoint they were having on download. (I would defend
downloading, of course.) I thought I managed to write a pretty good
piece, especially for its size and audience, in a couple days. But
then I found out my piece was cut because the Times had decided not to
tell kids to break the law. So, from the graveyard, here it is.
Stealing is wrong. But downloading isn’t stealing. If I
shoplift an album from my local record store, no one else can buy it.
But when I download a song, no one loses it and another person gets
it. There’s no ethical problem.
Music companies blame a fifteen percent drop in sales since 2000 on
downloading. But over the same period, there was a recession, a price
hike, a 25% cut in new releases, and a lack of popular new artists.
Factoring all that in, maybe downloading increases sales. And 90% of
the catalog of the major labels isn’t for sale anymore. The
Internet is the only way to hear this music.
Even if downloading did hurt sales, that doesn’t make it
unethical. Libraries and video stores (neither of which pay per
rental) hurt sales too. Is it unethical to use them?
Downloading may be illegal. But 60 million people used Napster and
only 50 million voted for Bush or Gore. We live in a democracy. If the
people want to share files then the law should be changed to let
them.
And there’s a fair way to change it. A Harvard professor
found that a $60/yr. charge for broadband users would make up for all
lost revenues. The government would give it to the affected artists
and, in return, make downloading legal, sparking easier-to-use systems
and more shared music. The artists get more money and you get more
music. What’s unethical about that?

Aaron Caffrey didn't break into my
systems...
10/29/2003 12:10 AMAccording to a good friend of mine, I spent a good five minutes in
the Warner West End's first-floor loo with Aaron
Caffrey - a (tall, enblondened) nineteen year old who was
acquitted sometime in the last few days of crashing Port of Houston
computer systems. Of course, being completely out of touch with
everything that's happened in the world since I went down with the flu
last week, I didn't notice at all and looked rather blank at my friend
while he explained the whole situation to me. Young Katy seemed vaguely clued up on
the whole thing too. I am - it seems - out of touch.
Anyway, I can report that at no time during our lavatory-time
together did Aaron attempt to break into my systems, that he does
indeed fit the
stereotype remarkably well and that - in unrelated news - that League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen is a tedious, unexceptional, bland and irritating
adaptation of the Alan Moore / Kevin O'Neill comic book and that I
very much don't recommend it.

Aaron writes: “After many demonstrations of the power of

with me: there is much room for improvement.”

topic of spyware (or the removal and prevention of spyware to be
specific) at the MLS Tech Summit today. I heard he was quite good and
that the response was most positive. Good sport that he is, Aaron has
put his presentation online and he encourages other
librarians to steal it for use in their own patron training.
"The Tech Summit at the Metropolitan Library System went well
today. Many people were excited to have a disc full of spyware removal
programs and a few said that there were going straightaway to use
them....

Aaron Swartz's unexpurgated file-sharing
editorial
01/09/2004 09:56 PMAaron Swartz was invited by the New York Times to write an editorial
explaining why he thinks that file-sharing is ethical, but before the
piece ran, the Times edited it, because they "had decided not to tell
kids to break the law." Aaron has published the whole piece on his
blog:
Downloading may be illegal. But 60 million people used Napster and
only 50 million voted for Bush or Gore. We live in a democracy. If the
people want to share files then the law should be changed to let them.
