Is It Possible To Outlaw Spyware?
Is It Possible To Outlaw Spyware?
11/18/2003 01:53 PMNow that Congress is rushing around trying to outlaw spam, some are
wondering if they should turn their attention to the next big
annoyance online: spyware. The problem is that it's very very
difficult to write a law outlawing spyware that
doesn't also outlaw any
number of completely legitimate applications. Right now, many
spyware products are perfectly "legal", because they hide the details
of what they're doing in the very very very fine print within huge,
unreadable license agreements that most people agree to without even
getting through the first sentence.

Outlaw Radio
Vince Outlaw just posted a terrific
bunch of pointers to cool stuff he's doing with radio (also Radio)
and RSS:
I just completed an attempt to duplicate some of the audio
material I used for a recent live broadcast on Jazz 88 as enclosures in an RSS enabled
weblog. I'm attempting to push it a little further by including
Quicktime video in the RSS stream also. I'm trying to move in the
direction you are pointing to:
The Bob Gibb Memorial Weblog: http://thenewjazzthing.com/categories/theBobGibbMemorialWeb
log/index.html
Subscribe to the weblog's RSS feed with an enclosure enabled RSS
reader, and you get the material I used during my live broadcast last
Sunday, November 30, 2003. It's a start in that direction. One thing
missing is the scripting, much like an MP3 playlist (or SMIL) to then
replay the RSS enclosures as a continuous stream...A SHOW!
Does Vince have the perfect surname or what?
From now on, I'm calling her Andrei
I was driving to pick up the kid yesterday evening when an Andrei Codrescu essay came on NPR.
I've always enjoyed Codrescu. He edits Equisite Corpse (an outstanding
online pub take a look around if you're not familiar with it
already) when he isn't otherwise busy writing delightful and wise
poetry and prose across an endless variety of subjects.
So yeah, I like the guy.
Anyway, his audio essay, Working
for Nothing? was about the spider in his back yard. She made a
multi-leveled, many-storied web that stretched from the ground to two
oak branches...
A meditation on personal industry and the onset of Winter, I assumed.
But alas, no...
I mention my front yard architect for several reasons.
One, she seems a lot more interested in her creation than her
prey, though I do not doubt she eats well in such a cleverly designed
trap.
Second, she conducts her operations unbothered by humans who mow
very carefully around her and admire her work.
Thirdly, she was very smart to build in a place that was
sheltered enough from the elements, and open enough to elicit
admiration instead of disgust.
And fourthly, she was lucky. She squatted on a liberals' lawn.
Now I should be so lucky. Or you.
The only analogy in the human world is an Internet habitat called
a blog.
The blog is the grapho-egomaniac's perfect outlet. It's a daily,
hourly or perpetual diary belonging souley to a writer and her
thoughts.
These thoughts are made public to the world every time a writer
is at a keyboard. Which is, in some cases, twenty-four seven.
Some people cruising by will read the postings and respond to
them with thoughts of their own. Or even better, some admiration.
And some move into the blog, reacting to the writer's every entry
with one of their own. Like a family member. And all in real time.
Eventualy a small community is born, with the blogger in the
center of the web, entertaining or devouring the haphazard relatives
or any number of guests.
Today there are literally millions of blogmasters on the Web,
each of them spiderlike at the center of their own world.
Most of them believe doubtlessly that this is all the world they
need and that they're the center, not just of their private world, but
that of the world itself.
In the real world Winter comes and even the greatest spider dies
eventually.
The blog will likewise go on, until the blogger runs out of room
on the server and can't pay the bill.
Then it's clear not only that there is a bigger world, but
students of webs and blogs who watch and wonder about all the
work.
We've been watching a spider too, every evening, here on our front
porch in Santa Barbara. By the time we go outside to sit and look at
the stars before bedtime, she's built a new web, and sits in its exact
middle, waiting for prey.
In the morning, the web is still there, slightly tattered. The spider
is back up under the gutter somewhere, waiting for darkness.
I'm sure she'll be back out there again tonight, looking bigger and
nastier than ever. The only difference will be her name.

Australia Looking To Outlaw Spyware
Australia Looking To Outlaw Spyware
12/26/2003 01:45 PM
Over in Australia, they've realized that as they try to slow down the
spam tide, the worst spam scammers have moved from spam on to spyware.
Thus, they're now talking about outlawing spyware - at which point the
scammers will move on to something else. While I do think something
needs to be done about spyware, I wonder how they're going to define
spyware. Whenever politicians start outlawing technologies, there's a
big risk that they'll do such a bad job of defining the software, that
plenty of legitimate applications get banned as well. In the case of
spyware, I guess the focus should be on applications that are
installed without the computer owner's clear consent (which means not
sneaking approval into an end user license agreement either).

Tubesville: Outlaw Audio Design
Tubesville: Outlaw Audio Design
07/29/2004 11:30 AM
One of my
favorite things about New York is the perpetual discovery of new
things that were right under my nose. Case in point: Tubesville, a
local shop owned by Blackie Pagano that specializes in custom-built
tube amplifiers and hi-fi systems, including the one-offs of the Noise
Outlaw Audiodesign series, a set of bespoke audio equipment that usual
starts around $3,000 apiece. Each unit is hand-hand to the customer's
specifications and is never exactly duplicated (it looks like
the Tricky and Powertrip amps can be bought without much
customization).
But anyway, it's really amazing looking work (check out this iPod
dock and speakers inside a retrofitted victrola ) and as soon as I
figured out where Ludlow Street and what shoes I should wear, I'm
going to have to go check Pagano's work out in person.

Yesterday, Marybeth Peters, the head of the US Copyright Office,
testified before the Senate regarding the INDUCE Act. Her testimony
was even more radical than the RIAA's. Not only did she
(inappropriately) explain what outcome the Appeals Court in the
Grokster case should reach and argue (wrongly) that the INDUCE
Act wouldn't have a chilling effect on innovation, she actually said
she thought the INDUCE Act was not enough. The Register of Copyrights
argued that the Betamax decision, which made VCRs legal, should be
overturned by Congress. Wow.
