Senate Moves Forward To Allow Junk Faxes

Senate Moves Forward To Allow Junk Faxes 07/23/2004 11:41 AM
Last month we wrote about a controversial law that would roll back many of the rules against junk faxes. It was a response to an FCC ruling that probably went too far, that would have required written permission to receive a fax from a business. The problem was that this meant no one could ever call a business and ask for something to be faxed to them. So, Congress came up with a bill that overruled that and said businesses could fax with verbal permission too. The problem, of course, is that junk fax companies have already been known to alter call logs or lie about "permission" and this could make it easier to get away with that. A compromise bill would have limited the time frame to 48 hours in which a company would be allowed to fax someone after a verbal request, but the bill was passed via committee with the time limit being seven years. The version that went through basically says any company you have had contact with over the past seven years is now allowed to fax you. Of course, part of the reason the bill moved forward without any discussion or amendments is because of some sort of childish procedural issues by some Senators who cared more about making each other look bad than about actually figuring out what's best for the country.

Ban On Corporate Cybersnooping Moves
Forward In Australia 06/23/2004 11:06 AM
Here's a followup on a story from March about an anti-cybersnooping law in New South Wales, Australia. The government has now released a draft of the bill that would make it illegal to surreptitiously spy on employee computer usage, without "reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing." Once again, studies have shown that such snooping is actually bad for business. It makes people less trusting, stresses them out and makes them less productive. That's what you get when you treat all your employees as guilty until proven innocent, I guess.

California Senator Moves Forward With
Plan To Ban Gmail 04/22/2004 06:52 PM
Following up on already announced intentions (and apparently ignoring everyone who explained why this is a terrible, terrible idea), California Senator Liz Figueroa has introduced a bill to ban Gmail saying that - even though Google is upfront about scanning emails to offer contextual advertising and it's a choice of the user - it should be illegal. Her complaint is that Google will use email contents as a "direct marketing opportunity." I hadn't realized that there was anything illegal about direct marketing. If we're going to go after direct marketers there are an awful lot of direct marketing practices that I would target before a perfectly useful, perfectly upfront company's email client.

Misunderstanding Trademarks: American
Blinds Suit Against Google Moves Forward

Misunderstanding Trademarks: American
Blinds Suit Against Google Moves Forward 03/31/2005 04:50 PM
It seems that this issue isn't going to die any time soon. While one court has said that Google didn't do anything wrong to Geico in allowing companies to sell ads based on the keyword Geico (something that Geico is still fighting), another one has denied Google's request to dismiss an almost identical case from American Blinds. There are two issues here, and both of them should end up in Google's favor. First, this is simply not a violation of trademark. The purpose of trademark law is not that you have total control over your trademark -- just that others cannot use it in a way that confuses people into believing that they are you or acting on your behalf. Throwing up ads based on keywords is a situation where people know that these are competitive ads. It's like saying that Coke could never use the word Pepsi in one of their ads. Second, even if these ads did violate trademark law, it would not be Google's fault. Google did not place the ad. It would be the fault of the person or company that placed the ad. On both fronts, Google should have a very strong claim against American Blinds, but apparently it wasn't enough for a summary judgment. As John Battelle points out, if the court eventually does decide to misunderstand the purpose of trademark law (a la the French), this could end up at the Supreme Court to settle the differences in lower court rulings. Of course, the question now is whether or not Dave Pell will be buying Google ads on the phrase "American Blinds."

University of California-Los Angeles: Online Archive of American Folk
Medicine
http://www.folkmed.ucla.edu/
The Archive of American Folk Medicine is the result of more than 50 years of work by UCLA-associated folklorists who "documented beliefs and practices relating to folk medicine and alternative healthcare. In order to make the data more readily available to the worldwide community of researchers and medical practitioners, the Online Archive of American Folk Medicine was established in 1996 under the direction of Dr. Michael Owen Jones, a professor of folklore and history at UCLA." The Archive draws from over 3,200 published works, and is intended to serve folklorists, sociologists, and historians. The website provides basic and advanced search options; and records include brief entries for Citation, Condition, Belief, Method of Treatment, and more. Users should be aware that the Archive website has not been updated in several years but it remains a valuable resource for researchers and others interested in folk medicine. This has been added to Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Healthcare Rersources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.

Join Friends of the Creative Archive and
help the Beeb put EVERYTHING online

Join Friends of the Creative Archive and
help the Beeb put EVERYTHING online 06/02/2004 12:10 PM
The BBC's Creative Archive is well underway now and a group of UK-based copyright activists and concerned license-payers have gotten together to lend their support to the project. The Archive is a project to put the BBC's enormous archive on the net for free viewing and remixing by the license-paying public. If the Beeb pulls this off, it will be the largest and most ambitious open-content project in the history of the world; a shining proof of the idea that the sky doesn't fall when you relax your copyright a little. I mean, we're talking the future of public service broadcasting here.

So the Friends of the Creative Archive are a bunch of concerned people who want to keep this on track. It's certain that there's going to be a lot of opposition to this -- from rights-holders, commercial broadcasters, even parts of the Beeb. But at the end of the day, the license-payers bought that programming, and it's not doing us any good sitting on the BBC's shelves.

You can help: if you're a license payer, you can join the Friends, and there will be lots of opportunities in the near future to petition the Beeb, the Governors, the DCMS and Parliament for this -- there's an open letter now that you can sign onto.

Here are some of the elements critical to the creation of a real, useful, relevant Creative Archive:

* It must be broad: drawing from all areas of the BBC's broadcasting from factual to light entertainment, from drama to sport, and everything in between.

* It must be accessible: files must be made available in open, standards-defined formats without "digital rights management" or other technology locks that will keep Britons from creatively re-using the BBC's offerings.

* It must be free: Material should be licensed under conditions that do not restrict any licence payer from accessing, storing, modifying or sharing archive material for non-commercial use.

* It must be whole: Material should be provided in its entirety for non-commercial use, not only in excerpted form.

* It must be soon: the BBC's own internally produced material should be released into the Archive as soon as possible, to prove to the world that the sky won't fall if you relax your copyright stance.

* It must be complete: the BBC should take steps to clear the rights to the independently produced material in its archive.

* It must be sustainable: the BBC's new licensing agreements with independents should all include the right for the BBC to make the works available in the Creative Archive for full non-commercial use.
