04/10/2005 11:33 PMZorn Whups Chicagoist’s Ass
“In the wee final moments
of Thursday night, Chicagoist received an e-mail from Chicagoist's
favorite professional blogger and columnist
Mr. Eric Zorn.
The subject line: ‘whup ass
report -- Nexis’
Seems Chicagoist may have
inadvertently overstated things yesterday when we said getting the
phrase ‘can of whup-ass’ into the pages
of the &lsq
uo;stuffy and stodgy Tribune’ signaled a ‘hope for
tomorrow,’ as Zorn uncovered at least four previous
occasions when said phrase has appeared in the Trib. Using his trusty
Lexis-Nexis, Zorn found the mentions and they go clear back
into 2001.
While one Chicagoist staff member was heard to say
that if Zorn wants to lend us the cash to get a subscription to
Lexis-Nexis we'd be happy to check for such things, and while two of
the references are found in the pages of Red Eye, Chicagoist
knows when we've had our asses handed to us and we can admit
it….” [Chicagoist]
I
was going to leave a comment on the Chicagoist site to the effect that
while they may not have access to Lexis-Nexis, they most certainly
have access to a far wider range of materials that most definitely
includes an archive of the Chicago Tribune, all for
free, thanks to their local public library. Except that in this case,
that local public library is the Chicago Public Library. In order
to prove my point, I searched for a list of the databases to which
they offer access. Guess what? No list. Just a link to “Chicago WebFeat
Remote Authentication.” What on earth do you suppose is a
WebFeat Remote Authentication, much less a Chicago
one?
That’s when I realized that Chicagoist doesn’t
know the answer to that question, either, and really, why should they?
So to Chicagoist, trust me that your search would have gotten you what
you needed if the page had been labeled something that made sense and
provided any type of explanation or list at all. Bookmark that page,
because there’s a wealth of information available to you from it
(assuming that you have a library card, and I feel pretty confident
that you do). And to CPL, rename that page ASAP and add a list of
all of the databases available in order to highlight your assets, not
hide them!

$87 Million in Pirated Software Seized
$87 Million in Pirated Software Seized
09/17/2004 02:21 PMA multi-state ring of software pirates was apprehended by U.S. law
enforcement authorities, resulting in a seizure of possibly $87
million worth of pirated software. The raid followed a two-year
investigation of 11 people from California, Texas, and Washington. The
11 defendants are charged with conspiring to distribute counterfeit
computer software and documentation with a retail value of well over
$30 million. according to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the Central District of California.
The investigation, called Digital Marauder originally anticipated
$30 million in bootleg software would be recovered. However, during
the seizure, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents found more than
$56 million worth of counterfeit Microsoft, Adobe and Symantec
products and an industrial CD replicator and printing equipment in San
Francisco, California and Austin, Texas.
According to the statement, United States Attorney Debra W. Yang, a
member of the Attorney General’s Intellectual Property Task
Force, said this case illustrates the Justice Department’s
commitment to battle intellectual property crimes. “The scope of
this case is unprecedented. In one indictment, we have charged both
the manufacturers who supplied the counterfeit items and the
distributors who flooded the market with the bogus goods. We have
devoted the time and the resources that were needed to dismantle an
entire distribution chain, from beginning to end. Rest assured that we
will be looking at all who are involved in this underground black
market."
The defendants are scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment on
Monday, September 20 in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
If convicted of the charges in the indictment, the defendants face
potential prison sentences ranging from 15 years to 75 years in
federal prison.
Dave's Opinion
This is good news for the software vendors affected by the software
pirates; however, in reality, the raid makes a minor dent in the
global market for pirated software. According to a 2003 study by the
Business Software Alliance, thirty-six percent of the software
installed on computers worldwide was pirated in 2003, representing a
loss of nearly $29 billion.
