06/06/2005 12:14 AMLyra Research’s new report, "Commercial Printing: An Overview of
Production and Wide-Format," is essential reading for vendors in the
commercial printing market. The report focuses on key trends in
commercial printing, including sharp increases in sales of eco-solvent
or mild solvent wide-format printers, declining prices for wide-format
devices, and inexpensive Chinese wide-format printer products entering
the European and U.S. markets. On the narrow-format side, acquisitions
by key players have taken center stage. [PRWEB May 18, 2005]

No More Commercial Radio... Ever!
No More Commercial Radio... Ever!
02/13/2004 12:46 AMToday I listened to Radio
Paradise on my ride home from work. I lost the signal once but was
able to immediately log back into it. Yesterday I listened to The Beat Basement on the
ride home, and I didn't lose the signal once. How? Through PocketTunes on my Treo 600,
which was plugged into the cassette adapter so it sounded great coming
through my car's speakers.
How incredibly fantabulous and perwonderfect is it to be
able to listen to internet radio streams in the car? I can't make up
enough words to describe it! I guess I don't have to worry about
getting satellite radio anymore....
(I will, however, add my voice to the chorus asking for Live365 support in PTunes!)

03/13/2003 10:17 AMThis is a living, breathing weblog entry. Actually, it's the
never-ending comments that make this so. I actually wrote about...
Why free for commercial use?
Why free for commercial use?
06/27/2004 07:38 PMWhen writing my last entry, I remembered a question that some
people ask me. Why choose the Creative Commons license
that allows people to use content free for commercial use? I think
people have some sort of instinctive reaction toward the notion that
someone could "exploit" their work to make money. One question to ask
is, will you make less money because of it or more? They have to give
you attribution so more people will know about you and your work. I
would rather have people copy and quote my blog without worrying about
asking for permission. I would love to appear in commercial magazines,
books, websites and newspapers. Yes, fair use allows these people to
quote me without asking permission, but fair use must be defended in
court and some countries don't even have fair use. As a practical
matter, fair use really only gets you the right to hire a lawyer. The
CC license allows people to use stuff from my blog without fear
because they know my intention and it is clear legally as
well.
The next question is, then why not make it completely
free? A good way to understand this is to look at the differences
between the GNU Free Document License that Wikipedia uses and
the by-sa
(attribution share-alike) Creative Commons license Wikitravel uses.
There is some overlap and lots of nuances, but generally speaking the
GNU license is more about creating an ever growing body of work which
must remain free and allows commercial reprinting with limitations
basically in order to allow people to charge for reprinting the
document. The Wikipedia
copyright page says:
Wikipedia
The goal of Wikipedia is to create
an information source in an encyclopedia format that is freely
available. The license we use grants free access to our content in the
same sense as free software is licensed freely. This principle is
known as copyleft. That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied,
modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same
freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia
article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author
credit requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free
forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions,
most of which serve to ensure that freedom.
Wikitravel has a page on why they didn't choose the GNU Free
Document License.
Wikitravel
The GFDL was developed to support
making Free Content versions of software manuals, textbooks, and other
large references. Its requirements for what you have to distribute
with a document under the GFDL -- such a copy of the GFDL and a
changelog, as well as "transparent" (i.e. source) versions if you
distribute over 100 copies -- aren't really all that onerous for large
volumes of text.
But for Wikitravel, we really want to have each article
redistributable on its own. Wikitravel articles can be as small as 1-2
printed pages. For such small documents, it just doesn't make sense to
require people to pass out another 10 pages of legalese text, as well
as floppy disks or CDs full of Wiki markup.
Consider these small "publishers" who would distribute stacks of
photocopied printouts of Wikitravel articles:
• Local tourist offices
• Hotels or guesthouses
• Helpful travellers
• Teachers
• Exchange student programs
• Wedding or event planners
Burdening these publishers with restrictions meant for software
documentation or textbooks would mean that they'd either ignore our
license -- a bad precedent to set -- or, more likely, just not use our
work.
We make our content Free so we can collaborate on this wiki, but
also because we want it to be seen and used. We can't serve travellers
with useful information if they can't get to that information in the
first place.
A lightweight alternative
The license we've chosen, the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0, is much easier and more lightweight. We
think that using the Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license (by-sa) meets
our goal of having copyleft protection on Wikitravel content, without
putting an excessive burden on small publishers. All that needs to be
included are copyright notices and the URL of the license; this can be
done in a short paragraph at the end of the article.
The big downside of not using the GFDL is that GFDL content --
like Wikipedia articles -- cannot be included in Wikitravel articles.
This is a restriction of the GFDL -- you're not allowed to change the
license for the content, unless you're the original copyright holder.
This is kind of a pain for contributors, but we figured it was better
to make it easy for users and distributors to comply with our
license.
Creative Commons is planning to issue a new revision of their
suite of licenses some time in the winter of 2003-2004. Compatibility
with other Free licenses is "a top priority", and we can expect that
some time after that version change, articles created on Wikitravel
can be distributed under the GFDL. So, even though we can't include
GFDL work into Wikitravel, other Free Content authors can include
Wikitravel content into their work.
In Wikipedia's case,
the main use case is having it available online and I think for that
the GFDL works best. In the case of Wikitravel where they would like
to see their work expand into the physical world in small bits, I
think the CC by-sa works well. I think they both picked the right
licenses.
They point out one of the biggest problems with many of these
copyleft licenses. They usually require the creator of a derivative
work or the distributor to use the same license and even if the work
can be tampered with, the license can not. This makes it hard if not
impossible to mix with other licenses. The "share-alike" attribute in
the CC license the Wikitravel uses serves this function and is similar
to GPL and GFDL licenses in this regard. This is important in keeping
the "spirit" of the original intent going and in the case of Wikipedia
and Wikitravel which are group efforts, this is quite important. In my
case, I would rather allow people who use my works to have maximum
freedom so I have not included "share-alike" to my license. This
allows people to mix my content with other types of licenses.

04/11/2005 02:45 AMGolf GTI commercial and Elsewhere
Golf GTI commercial and Elsewhere
03/14/2005 04:25 PMWhen I first watched the cool new VW Golf GTI commercial featuring an updated Gene Kelly
poppin' and lockin', I guess I wasn't paying that much attention to
it.
Then the other day a friend IMed me and asked, "hey have you seen
this Golf GTI commercial with that guy from the crazy
Kollaboration video?"
"It's the same guy? I know that guy!" I watched the video again and
sure enough, Gene Kelly was dancing with the unmistakable style of Elsewhere, aka
David Bernal. After a quick search, I found a message board post from Elsewhere himself that it was indeed
him in the commerical:
yup that was me along with Crumbs and another popper
named Jay Walker.
I emailed David to ask him about the experience and he graciously
took the time to answer a few questions.
Jason: How did you get the Golf GTI gig? Audition or had
someone seen your stuff and specifically wanted you for it?
David: They specifically wanted to use me for it. I had done
a Heineken Commercial several months prior and the special effects
people for that commercial were going to do the effects for this VW
commercial. I got an email asking me if I could dance in the rain with
a prosthetic mask on and several weeks later I was in London doing
just that.
jkottke: That scene from Singin' in the Rain is one of the
most famous in film, and certainly the most famous dance number in
film. What was it like to be a part of an attempt to recreate and
update it?
David: It was an honor and a privilege being one of the
dancers in this commercial. Gene Kelly was a great dancer, singer and
actor which is a lot more than I have to offer. It's extremely
flattering having a commercial that essentially implies that my moves
are an updated version of Gene's dance skills.
jkottke: Some folks have complained about the crassness of
using a dead guy's likeness to sell automobiles. As one of the actors
playing the deceased, do you have any thoughts on that?
David: Yeah it's kind of weird, but imo it kind of comes
with the territory when you're a legend. I don't know if Gene would be
too hot about the whole thing but obviously the Gene Kelly Estate
approved it, so it's apparently not that crass to them.
jkottke: I've
read that you often freestyle when you dance, making it up as you
go along, but that you also have little micro-routines that you rely
on as you do. In shooting the commercial, how much of the choreography
was scripted and how much did you get to ad lib? How much did you need
to change your style much based on specific shots from the original
film or Gene's style?
David:It was different for each shot. For example with the
close-ups they would say just do a bunch of wavy stuff, so I would
simply freestyle with some waves. Most of the full body shots were
more routine based. They would specifically want me to do a list of
moves, but to connect everything I would naturally freestyle.
I didn't have to change my dancing stylistically at all. They
wanted me to dance the way that I dance. In fact they had us watch the
original Singing in the Rain scene so many times that I started
unconsciously moving a bit like Gene Kelly. The director at one point
even told me that I was moving too much like Gene and I needed to move
more like me.
If anything the parameters and conditions of the shoot
inadvertently changed my style. The sound stage was cold and we had to
dance under artificial rain for hours. To avoid freezing we wore wet
suits under our already thick, tight costumes. This restricted my
movement a lot. My shoes were quite uncomfortable and fake flooring we
danced on was soft and spongy. I had to keep my head up and smile
constantly which was very unnatural for me. Yet the biggest difficulty
for me was the rigid time restraints. Since it was a commercial we had
to do a lot within a small amount of time. This forced me to speed up
my style more than I usually do.
jkottke: Thanks, David.
You can see more of David's stuff on the Detours Video site, by purchasing some
DVDs, or by doing a search for "david
elsewhere".

Critic Sites Are Not Commercial
08/06/2004 06:45 PMYear ago, we wrote about the case of
Uzi
Nissan vs. Nissan Motors. Uzi Nissan happened to own the domain
name Nissan.com, which he used to run his own computing business. In
the dispute, Nissan Motors apparently noted that, in talking about the
case on the site, Uzi Nissan was engaged in "commercial speech" which
was designed to take business away from them, and therefore, he was
violating their trademark. However, the Court of Appeals today ruled
that
sites critical of a company are not engaged in
"commercial speech", meaning that any site designed to criticize
the actions of a company may not be violating that company's
trademark. The court found that a lower court ruling prohibiting Uzi
Nissan from talking about the case was an improper violation of Uzi
Nissan's free speech.
