03/29/2005 04:31 PMAP - A man who is legally blind has heard it before, so he was
naturally skeptical when he was told he scored a hole-in-one while
golfing at a local golf course. "They've said it before," said Joel
Ludvicek, 78.

Your ISP Can Now Legally Read All Your
Email
06/30/2004 01:07 PMIf you thought all those worries about Google storing your email
messages was a problem, you're certainly not going to be happy with a
new court ruling that basically says
it's okay for an ISP to read your emails. The case
concerned a book seller who offered his customers free email accounts.
Then, he read through any of their emails that came from Amazon.com
in order to offer better deals on the books Amazon was offering. He
was charged with violating wiretap laws, but the Appeal Court has
ruled that because the messages were already stored in RAM on his
server, he didn't actually "intercept" communications -- which is the
basis for wiretap law. The court admits that this is a problematic
finding, suggesting that perhaps its time politicians updated wiretap
law to take into account the internet. Of course, knowing how all of
our politicians have been acting lately, the idea of them trying to
"adjust" wiretap laws for the internet age should be particularly
scary, because it's likely that what comes out will be even worse than
what we have now. Either way, with this ruling, people can make the
very real case that anyone offering email services can read every
email that goes through their servers without fear of breaking wiretap
laws.

often say that we wanted there to be an easy way for you to share your
creations and also to build a large pool of creative work that is easy
to redistribute, print, (and if the license allows) collage, remix, or
even sell to others.
If you're wondering what the world without Creative Commons is
like, check out this helpful primer on the question "How Can I
Tell Whether a Book Can Go Online?" The answer, as you can see, is
quite complicated, including the various laws around the world. The
page doesn't mention CC, but if it did, one of the top bullets would
be "look for a Creative Commons mark" and the permission and legal
questions that take up the rest of the page would be solved.
Linksys Boosts Signal--Legally
Linksys Boosts Signal--Legally
07/07/2004 12:55 PMLinksys releases legal antenna add-ons for several of its Wi-Fi
gateways: We've said it in this space before, and we'll say it again:
in the U.S., you cannot legally mix and match antennas with Wi-Fi
gateways. The FCC's Part 15 rules require that you only use antennas
that were certified with the gateway that they were designed for. In
response to a recent query made by a colleague of mine, the FCC wrote
back a very clear response: When using Part 15 (2.4GHz) devices,
mixing and matching components is a violation of the rules. Only
systems can be certified. Please see
http://wireless.fcc.gov/outreach/2004broadbandforum/comments/
YDI_externalamps.pdf. There you go. Oddly, it is perfectly legal to
sell antennas separately from gateways without violating any laws.
It's only deploying them that is technically illegal. We haven't heard
of any letters or prosecutions, however. Linksys isn't getting around
this, but has rather taken several antennas and several gateways and
paid the fees to get each of the combinations certified in a matrix.
This cost them at least a few hundred thousand dollars in fees and
associated expenses entirely separate from the development costs of
the antennas themselves. Linksys has two kinds of antennas and
matching stands for each. One add-on, the TNC Connector Antenna, is
designed for two-antenna systems: WRT54GS, WRT54G, WAP54G, BEFW11S4,
and WAP11. The one-antenna device, the SMA Connector Antenna, works
with more specialized equipment: WRV54G, WMP54GS, WMP54G, and WET54G.
Both antenna types cost $60 each (suggested retail), while the
respective antenna stands are another $30. The stands allow mounting
the antennas to a wall or ceiling....

04/13/2005 05:25 PM
Cops engage in ID thefy - legally! [sorry - reg.
required was all I could find] Cops in Ohio were putting together a
sting in a strip club. They paid a 24-year-old informant a $100 a
night to work as a stripper in the club (What? After tips?) But in
order to carry out the sting, they gave the informant a false
identity. Instead of creating a new one, they simply plucked the
details off of some poor girl’s drivers license and social security
card, such that this girl now has being paid as a stripper on her
record. And according to the law, this is PERFECTLY LEGAL — in fact
the Ohio police’s right to do this was included as a provision in a
new Ohio law that was aimed at stopping ID theft. Which also makes me
wonder — was this a commonplace practice in Ohio or anywhere else?
Is that why they sought to protect it in the law? Is some guy using my
ID to infiltrate NAMBLA right now?

HOWTO legally sell downloads of
cover-songs
07/30/2004 05:06 AMCDBaby, a wonderful indie music publisher, has put up a howto for
legally selling downloads of cover songs.
If you record a cover version of a song, (meaning your performance of
a song that has been released in the U.S. with consent of the
copyright owner), you are entitled by law to release your recording
commercially, and the owner of the copyright to the song cannot
prevent you from doing so.
The Copyright Act provides for what is called a "Compulsory License",
which means that if you follow the steps set forth by statute, you can
distribute your recording of that song on a CD or over the internet.
The following details the procedure for individuals to obtain a
compulsory license to digitally distribute cover songs over the
Internet to end users in the United States.
