Weinberger: "free access to every work
of creativity in the world is a better
world"
09/21/2004 04:55 PM
Cory Doctorow:
David Weinberger, author of the brilliant and seminal
Small Pieces Loosely Joined, has posted a draft of a great
speech on copyright that he's giving at the World Economic Forum in
NYC tomorrow:
[F]or one moment, I'd like you to perform an exercise in selective
attention. Forget every other consideration — even though they're
fair and important considerations — and see if you can acknowledge
that a world in which everyone has free access to every work of
creativity in the world is a better world. Imagine your children could
listen to any song ever created anywhere. What a blessing that would
be!
...We publish stuff that gets its meaning and its reality by being
read, viewed or heard. An unpublished novel is about as meaningful and
real as an imaginary novel. It needs its readers to be. But readers
aren't passive consumers. We reimagine the book, we complete the
vision of the book. Readers appropriate works, make them their own.
Listeners and viewers, too. In making a work public, artists enter
into partnership with their audience. The work succeeds insofar as the
audience makes it their own, takes it up, understands it within their
own unpredictable circumstances. It leaves the artist's hands and
enters our lives. And that's not a betrayal of the work. That's its
success. It succeeds insofar as we hum it, quote it, appropriate it so
thoroughly that we no longer remember where the phrase came from.
That's artistic success, although it's a branding failure.

Where's The Border For Real World Laws
In A Virtual World?
12/04/2003 03:52 AMLast month when everyone was making a big deal over the news that the
online game Second Life had decided that players
own any
intellectual property they create in the game, I said it was a bad
idea, since it basically took all of the
problems of our
intellectual property system and moved them into the virtual world -
where it was likely to get more confusing. Over at LawMeme, James
Grimmelmann, has been thinking
a lot about that very idea and
has written an insanely long - but absolutely worth reading -
discussion about
intellectual property issues as it relates to games.
It's impossible to summarize his points, but he explores many of the
issues in-depth and appears to have thought about these issues in much
more detail than the designers of the various games. What it really
seems to come down to is the question of whether or not in-game
actions are simply covered by the End User License Agreement (which
basically becomes the Constitution for that game) or if real laws in
the real world should apply.

01/05/2005 03:28 AMIn the aftermath of the tsunamis that devastated Asia in late December
2004, observers pointed out that lack of official, credible
information gave victims and governments in the area little prior
warning of the impending disaster. Although still in the developmental
stages, a partnership of the Global Disaster Information Network
(GDIN) and the Organsation for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) is creating an information system that may significantly reduce
the impact of future natural and manmade disasters. Native American
Pueblo and Navajo Nations in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado
are providing pilot sites for the GDIN system. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]

World War I
World War I
12/19/2004 03:40 PMBefore we leave the 19th century, a word from our sponsor: Geoffrey R.
Stone, Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime from the Sedition Act of
1798 to the War on Terrorism (W. W. Norton 2004). Buy one in the next
six hours and you can read the next entry in this blog ASOLUTELY
FREE!!
We tend to think of World War I as a generally popular war, like World
War II. Nothing could be further from the truth. After the war broke
out in Europe in 1914, the vast majority of Americans wanted nothing
to do with it. The saw the carnage of the European battlefields and
decided the conflicted implicated no vital interests of the United
States. Indeed, Woodrow Wilson was reelected in 1916 on the platform
that "He Kept Us Out of War!"
In 1917, however, Wilson sought a declaration of war. The reason he
sought to enter the war was to preserve the "freedom of the seas."
Under international law, a neutral is entitled to trade with
belligerants. The Germans, however, were using U-boats to sink
American ships that were bringing munitions, arms, and other supplies
to England and France. Ironically, the English and French were also
blocking American shipping to Germany. But because Germany had little
access to the sea, they could do this my minimg a few harbors and
rivers. The only way the Germans could reciprocate was by warning
Americans not to trade with English and France, on pain of submarine
attacks. Nonetheless, Wilson got his declaration.
Many Americans were angry. They were perfectly happy to forego trade
with England and France, rather than get involved in the war. They saw
this, not as a "War to Make the World Safe for Democracy," as the
president now billed it, but as a "War to Make the World Safe for
Armanents and Munitions Manufacturers." People like Emma Goldman,
Eugene Debs, and Jane Addams vigorously criticized the decision to
enter the war.
Wilson had two problems. First, he had to generate enthusiasm for the
war. Second, he had to repress dissent that would undermine morale. To
address the first problem, he established the Committee on Public
Information, a propaganda arm of the United States goverment, the
charge of which was to produce a floot of leaflets, pamplets,
lectures, and movies designed to promote a hatred of all things German
and a suspicion of anyone who might be "disloyal." To address the
second problem, he led Congress to enact the Espionage Act of 1917 and
the Sedition Act of 1918, which effectively made it a crime for any
person to criticize the war, the draft, the president, the government,
the flag, the military, or the Constitution of the United States.
Some 2,000 dissenters were prosecuted under these provisions. They
ranged from such obscure dissidents as Mollie Steimer, a 20-year-old
Russian-Jewish emigre who threw leaflets in Yiddish from a rooftop on
the lower East Side of New York, to such prominent figures as Eugene
Debs, the national leaders of the Socialist Party, who had received
one million votes for President in 1912 (6% of the total), who gave a
speech in Ohio criticizing Wilson for the draft and for his
suppression of free expression. Moreover, unlike the Sedition Act of
1798, where the maximum jail term was 6 months, judges enforcing the
World War I legislation routinely sentenced people to prison terms of
10-20 years in jail, and many of these people (like Mollie Steimer and
Emma Goldman) were deported for their dissent.
And what, you ask, of the Supreme Court of the United States? In a
series of decisions in 1919 and 1920, the Court upheld the convictions
of these defendants. In effect, the Court ruled that, in time of war,
government could punish such criticism of its policies and programs
because such dissent could persuade people not to support the war, and
that could in turn lead them to do things like refusing induction if
they were drafted or being insubordinate if they were in the army. To
prevent such harms, the government could constitutionally make
essentially any criticism of the war or the draft unlawful.
Things today don't look quite so bad, do they?
