Guilty Until Proven Innocent For This
ISP
09/02/2004 05:50 PMAn ISP in the UK has decided that all these legal processes with
takedown notices and figuring out who's sharing what with whoever else
is just way too much work. Instead, it's much, much easier to simply
declare
everyone guilty and block all P2P traffic, unless you come begging
for it with a very, very good reason -- at which point they might
allow you your P2P license, and let you use P2P applications. Seems
like a good way to encourage people to go check out the competition.

BitTorrent: Guilty Until Proven Innocent
BitTorrent: Guilty Until Proven Innocent
03/25/2005 07:27 PMWhile BitTorrent certainly is used for unauthorized sharing of
content, it's increasingly being used as a legitimate distribution
mechanism. While it unfairly gets lumped in with things like Kazaa
and Grokster, BitTorrent is just a protocol. It's like blaming FTP or
SMTP for file sharing -- and both certainly are used to share
unauthorized files. However, because BitTorrent is considered P2P
some less than clueful folks seem to think it must be illegal. This
leads to bizarre situations where
students are losing their network access for "illegal P2P
activity" when no illegal activity occurred at all. Instead, the
school's IT folks seem to assume that BitTorrent, by nature of being
P2P can only be used for illegal acts. I'm assuming they'll be
banning FTP next. The school
could claim that they're banning
it due to the traffic, but they specifically pointed to the legal
issue, suggesting that all of those entertainment industry subpoenas
appear to be making some universities a little trigger happy on
yanking internet access.

06/07/2004 08:33 PMThis afternoon I picked up some swordfish chunks at the fish market on
the way home and cooked them up on the grill. Not knowing what else to
do, I concocted a sauce to put on top of them in the spirit of
Provence (in the south of France) and using all kinds of things I
already had in the kitchen. I call the tasty resulting dish, Swordfish
a la Fauxvençal, since I really don't consider it an authentic
dish from Provence. Quantities are approximate since I was winging it
as I threw it together. But it came out quite yummy, and I am sure I
will make it again.

Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm
Not Working"
01/16/2004 11:01 AMThe New York Times offers this cheery piece that suggests you can
still ignore your kids while in the same room [reg. required]: I'm
sounding cynical, but this article does extol the virtues of being
able to be connected all of the time and work all of the time, even
when in physical proximity to your family. Seriously, however, the
notion that you can get necessary work done and not have to hole
yourself up in a basement or at a specific location is one of the
great benefits of a home wireless network. Oddly, the piece opens
looking at Oren Michels, identifying him as the president of a human
resources benefits administration firm. I knew that name, so I perform
a Google search, and find that he is also president and CEO of
WiFinder, a Wi-Fi directory site. (Disclosure: I'm the senior editor
at JiWire, an editorial and directory site focused on wireless that
competes for ad/sponsor dollars with WiFinder.) I shot a note to Oren
to confirm that he was still in that role at WiFinder, which he is.
Like WiFinder's chairman and founder Scott Rafer, Oren wears a few
hats. My point here is not that it's odd that Oren has multiple jobs,
but rather it's an odd choice of the reporter to not mention that Oren
Michels is the head of a company that's devoted to spreading
information about Wi-Fi. It's not bias; it's just a strange omission,

Pricing software by means
Pricing software by means
01/09/2004 09:51 PMAmong the many responses to my post on
piracy was one which suggested I price my software by country.
The general idea is that it's unfair that someone in the United States
is charged the same price as someone in, say, Russia, where economic
conditions are much harsher.
I have to say that I agree with this sentiment. Russia isn't such
a warez capital because it's a dishonest country - it's a country with
many skilled people thrown into chaotic times. In order for some of
them to maintain these skills, they may need to stay up-to-date with
the latest software. But in order to be ethical, they need to shell
out a week's pay to register one measly program.
I've actually talked with other shareware authors about this in the
past, and a number of them shared my belief that charging a lower
price in certain countries would be a better way to do business.
Several of us discussed ways to handle this, but in the end it was
decided that it would be so hard to manage that it wouldn't be
feasible. Verifying the country of origin and weeding out fraud would
simply require too much time. There are ways to automate this, of
course, but most of us need to rely on third-party ordering services
so we don't have much control over the purchasing process - so it
would be up to us to handle the extra work.
Most shareware companies are one-person outfits such as my own, and
we all find it difficult to balance the many demands of running our
businesses. We tend to shy away from anything that's time-consuming
simply because we often have no time left at the end of the day. In
my case, I'm not going to implement something if it means I have less
time to spend with my kids.
One possible solution is to skip charging by country and instead
ask each customer to pay what s/he believes the software is worth. A
minimum price would be required to make sure the order processing fees
are covered, but the final price would be determined by the customer.
This sidesteps the need for any verification, and could
potentially even increase earnings since I'd get orders from
those who previously couldn't afford our software.
On the surface I really like this idea, but the more you
think about it the more it seems just as problematic. First there's
the fear factor: I rely on software sales to feed my family, so I'm
scared to try such a thing. But even if I ignore this (not to mention
the issues involving third-party ordering services), there are still a
boatload of issues involving corporate sales, etc., that would eat
away at my time.
I'd like to hear other thoughts on this so I've enabled comments
for this post. However, I'm going to disable them once the comment
spammers hit, so if you have your own blog you'd be better off posting
there and sending a trackback ping.
BTW, I should add that my posting about this does NOT mean that I'm
about to implement such a system, since the ordering services for both
TopStyle and FeedDemon are already in place. I'm simply thinking out
loud about how such a system might work in case I want to try it with
future software.

What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means
What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means
04/04/2005 12:46 PMAs I
mentioned
earlier, the attack on Abu Ghraib is proof that al Qaeda is now
officially in Iraq. The execution followed a classic al
Qaeda pattern. Here are some things that the press missed in the
little coverage they provided:
- The level of sophistication. Swarming and feints.
- Large number of attackers (50).
- Low casualties for attackers killed (~1 maybe).
- No prior intelligence on a large, well planned attack of this
size.
- Weapons mix: RPGs, VBIEDs, and small arms.
This is problematic. This attack demonstrates that Al Qaeda
can now mount an attack of the size and sophistication necessary to
over-run a large number of US troops.An over-run could
produce significant US casualties and captives.

On e-mail as a means of exchange...
On e-mail as a means of exchange...
03/06/2004 01:55 AMI've had lots of conversations over the last few years about ways
in which rising marginal cost could deal with grotesque abuses of
online services. There are probably a dozen posts in this blog about
that subject alone. Now the obvious example of a place where this kind
of thing has been proposed has been e-mail - people have been talking
about ways to get people to pay for e-mail "stamps" for years as a
possible means of avoiding spam. Bill Gates has proposed another version of this scheme recently. His idea -
ten-second pieces of computing time on the machine that sends the mail
being given to some worthy cause (or to just solve some abstract
puzzle). This would - apparently - be a gesture of good faith on the
part of the sender that a spammer couldn't possible match.
Now, my personal opinions about rising marginal costs have mainly
been about how to deal with noise, distance and abuse in online
communities. I once touched on the issue in connection with e-mail
(only because e-mail was a suitable jumping off point) and ended up in
an almighty fight with Cory
Doctorow about it. Since that time, I'm still of the opinion that
exponential graphs of effort or diminishing causality over space or
increasing marginal costs (all features of the real-world) still have
a role to play in how we solve gross abuses online. On the other hand
I've seen no evidence that there's a model that works particularly
well with regards to e-mail. Certainly my experience of sending the
fifty or sixty e-mails I send from my personal account a day (and the
other fifty or sixty that I send at work) wouldn't be radically
improved by having my various computers churn through puzzles for
twenty minutes a day.
With regards to the 1p-per-e-mail approach - I'm still of the
opinion that a more successful version would be about the
redistribution of money rather than the paying of it. What if the
person you sent your e-mail to got the 1p you spent to send it to them
and could then use that penny to send an e-mail in turn to whosoever
they wanted. In those circumstances, most users (who get as much
e-mail as they send) would be financially unaffected, the spammed
would get a financial reward for all the rubbish they were forced to
consume (there might even be a legitimate business model in collecting
spam) and the spammers would end up paying much much more money than
before.
This is not a new idea either, and nor do I think it's a
particularly practical one, but it does present some interesting
opportunities to think about e-mail in very different (ludicrous?)
ways - perhaps eventually even as a unit of currency that you write
upon and distribute. After all noted currency is only an abstraction
of value written on a rectangular piece of paper - why shouldn't our
future currency be based upon the transactions of plain text
files...
