And Now, The Dean Sympathy Wave? 01/23/2004 02:21 PM
But people are beginning to realize that Dean's Iowa outburst, albeit a self-inflicted wound, doesn't deserve to be the biggest news of this campaign. And a backlash is brewing as a result, thanks to my media brethren who a) won't let it go and b) keep failing to give other candidates the same level of harsh scrutiny we've been giving Dean.

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work?

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work? 11/18/2003 01:52 PM
Okay, we've seen all sorts of bizarre legal excuses to get people off from charges of computer related crimes, but now people are combining that with psychologists' tendency to call everything an addiction. A guy in Germany who was fired from his job for (a) running up a huge internet bill charged to his office while (b) surfing porn at work has the guts to claim he's an online porn addict, and as such deserves "understanding", and not a pink slip. Now, certainly, there are people with problems who need to understanding and therapy, but this seems to be going too far. Why is it that no one can ever take responsibility for their own actions any more?

Supreme Court Shows Little Sympathy for
P2P Networks

Supreme Court Shows Little Sympathy for
P2P Networks 03/29/2005 02:15 PM
Judges yesterday attacked the business models of file-sharing companies as the case which could effectively spell out the future for many peer-to-peer programs got under way. The Supreme Court questioned attorneys for both the firms and Hollywood studios - and also criticised the entertainment industry's proposal that those behind the software "predominantly" supported by piracy should be held liable for copyright infringement.

Record labels and film studios are facing off against Grokster and StreamCast in the courtroom, after two federal courts ruled in favour of P2P. They said the software should be looked at in the same way as a VCR or a photocopier as it has legal uses - however, the labelsand studios say the software has been built on, and is mainly used for, illegal downloads.

Ronald Katz, a copyright attorney with Manatt, Phelps & Philips, told CNet: "I think the court is going to affirm (the lower-court rulings). This doesn't fit in with the way copyright law is written. But it's not surprising that the law doesn't fit with something that didn't exist at the time the law was made."

The case has already been going on for some five years, and as Neowin previously reported, the file-sharing side has won support from internet billionaire Mark Cuban. However, Justice Anthony Kennedy told the firms: "What you are suggesting is unlawful expropriation of property as a kind of start-up capital. From an economic standpoint and legal standpoint, that sounds wrong." Many protesters turned up to support the software firms - but some were on the other side of the divide, with a group of musicians saying they were there to give a human face to the cost of illegal downloading. "When we don't get paid, we can't pay our rent," said Erin Enderlin, one of the songwriters.

New Blue Devils to get iPods

New Blue Devils to get iPods 07/19/2004 01:28 PM

This is too cool for words. Duke will be providing all incoming freshman with their very own iPod this coming semester.

The iPods will be preloaded with content related to Duke campus life, including freshman orientation information and the academic calendar. What's more, a special Duke Web site modeled on Apple's own iTunes site will offer course content for download, including language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audio books. Duke students will also be able to purchase music through the site.

Getting one won't be as easy as it sounds. Have you seen the admissions requirements for Duke? Tuition alone is $29,000. I suppose the least they could do is throw in a $300 iPod. When I entered college about 20 years ago they never would have given every student a Walkman. Just goes to show how our attitudes about content distribution are changing.

Those clever devils at Customized
Classics

Those clever devils at Customized
Classics 12/10/2003 04:20 PM

When I first saw Customized Classics a few weeks ago I felt like kicking myself. It's hard for most people to understand what "public domain" really means, and what value it can give us as a culture, and directly as capitalists and entrepreneurs.

Project Gutenberg has recently uploaded their 10,000th public domain book, and Brewster and the gang are working on the "million book project". To demonstrate the potential of the public domain, and show people what movies, music, and stories used to be like when there was an active public domain (that at one time was only 14 to 28 years old -- imagine making new movies and music from 60s stuff totally free of copyright), I've been kicking around ideas of how to exploit these free works (again, for demonstration purposes more than anything else).

One idea I called "judge a book by its cover." Take these public domain classics, create exciting, artistic cover designs (perhaps by famous designers), and sell them via the new crop of print-on-demand services. A few months ago there was news of Oprah's book club coming back to life and only selecting classics from the public domain, and how publishers would have to rush to meet the demands, but how anyone could print them up.

I've been coming up with other ideas but nothing is as good as customized classics. They just do a search-and-replace on names of your choosing, and spit out a custom book to you for 25 bucks or so. Brilliant and simple.
