Copyright Common Sense

Copyright Common Sense 03/06/2004 01:58 AM
The Cato Institute's Adam Thierer's makes good sense in this essay on how to draw lines in the copyright debate. Key quote:

"But how we call in the cops and who the IP cops are makes a big difference. In particular, we shouldn’t expect Congress or regulatory agencies to legislate on every problem that creeps up or ban or mandate specific technological solutions in an attempt to solve IP debates. But when certain parties are egregiously violating the rights of copyright holders, they are certainly justified in seeking redress in the courts."

Dinosaur 0, Common Sense 1 05/29/2004 05:05 AM
Barney is a 6 year old boy whose dad bought the .co.uk domain of his name so he can use it when he's older. Barney is a 60 million year old malevolent purple dinosaur and wants "his" domain name back. Hilarity, thinly vieled contempt and common-sense ensues .. (via NTK)

Common(s) Sense of Thomas Paine

Common(s) Sense of Thomas Paine 01/11/2004 07:56 AM
David Richards writes, and evilsite.org says, that Thomas Paine assigned the copyright to "Common Sense" to the Continental Congress. Richards speculates he was the first to do so, and should thus be a model for Creative Commons. So at first I thought that was right (the model part; I don't know enough about the history part). But here's why I don't think so now: We should distinguish in this debate between altruistic copyright policy, and reasonable copyright policy. I'm all for altruism, and we certainly don't have enough out there. But Creative Commons is not about altruism; it is about reasonableness. CC says balance, not self-less. It is trying to find a way to restate what balance there should be "in the digital world" (how I hate that phrase). Voluntarily, no doubt, but not self-lessly. Self-lessness, and sainthood, like free and open source software, have enough models out there. CC is not yet another.

School Bans Common Sense

School Bans Common Sense 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Bellev ue school bans hats, hoods... In order to curtail unproven gang activity, Interlake High School has banned baseball caps, and the wearing of hoods, stemming from alleged gang involvement on the part of a few students. The faculty "believes" there to be gang actvity, and we all know that gangs require hooded-sweatshirt / ballcap uniforms, or you're out... Gang members can usually be singled out due to their poor fashion taste, but it has nothing to do with how they joined. This must be more of that freedom we North Americans seems to endorse so much...

FCC's Powell Talks Common Sense, but

FCC's Powell Talks Common Sense, but
Where's Policy? 07/14/2004 03:30 PM
Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, talked a great game last night at the Al ways On conference at Stanford. He spoke out for an open architecture on the Net; indicated that the broadcast "indecency" rules are at best questionable from a Constitutional and logical framework, and generally impressed a crowd of technologists and tech constituents. I'll be happier when his views translate more firmly into FCC policies, and when Congress discovers that the distinction between media are growing far too hazy for the old rules. But this is genuine progress.

There's lots of blogging going on here. My older, wiser brother Steve is part of the ZDNet team that's posting here.

Oh, here's Powell's al leged blog, which has been drawing attention. I say "alleged" because while I think it's great that he's posting and listening -- two of the major components of blogging -- this neither looks nor feels like the real thing. Still, it's interesting, and the comments he's drawn from all kinds of folks are terrific.

Quick Summation Of Why Software Patents
Don't Make Sense 02/12/2004 02:16 PM
Wired is running an interview with Pamela Jones, who has been doing an amazing job analyzing every SCO misstep over at GrokLaw. If you follow the case at all, you're likely to be familiar with the site. The interview, though, focuses on what she's going to do with the site once the SCO mess goes away. It's clear that she's not going to stop, but is gearing up to take on other intellectual property messes (which will continue to come, fast and furious). The reason I'm posting this, though, is a great quote from her concerning the problem of patenting software: "With time I expect that as tech savvy-ness increases in the judiciary, and it will, someone will notice that software is just math, creativity and math, and patenting 1 + 1 = 2 will eventually set us up to where only the owners of that and similar patents can write software. Meanwhile the rest of the world will move ahead in development, while the United States is stuck in the mud because no one can write 1 + 1 = 2 without crossing somebody's palm with silver."

Phishers Think Small

Phishers Think Small 06/05/2005 11:57 PM
Phishing has never been that much of an issue for me, because most of the phishing emails I've received have been for big name banks, where I don't have an account. The bank I do use is pretty small, which I figured made it highly unlikely to be a threat from phishers. Perhaps that assumption was wrong. Phishers have apparently tapped out the big name banks and are increasingly targeting lesser known banks and credit unions as they try to scoop up additional victims -- especially from banks and credit unions (and their customers) who figured they were pretty much immune to the problem. We should have known better... It's really a "security by obscurity" technique, like people who choose a less popular computing platform solely on the basis of "security," when that security may only be because it's less attractive to hackers. Of course, my second strategy in avoiding the problem probably has been working: I pretty much ignore all of the emails from my bank as they tend to just be "spam" marketing anyway.

Ikea comes to Red Hook 01/05/2005 02:01 PM
Red Hook is New York's perennial next-year neighborhood, perenially held back by huge housing projects and bad transportation, despite some ambitious proposals. Ikea's proposed store has been the subject of a long battle between "it'll bring jobs" and "it'll destroy the neighborhood". It's finally going to happen, and soon these buildings will be a parking lot.

Recording industry drops amnesty program for file-sharers: The RIAA has ended their amnesty program that let you off the hook for copyright violations if you turned yourself in.

...the trade group explained that it no longer deems the program useful because it considers the public educated or aware enough now to know that they could be sued for file-sharing.

The RIAA added that the number of people stepping forward to participate in the program has slowed "to a trickle."

In all, 1,108 people signed up for the program, the RIAA said.

They announced this change in papers filed to dismiss that one guy's lawsuit over the program.
