More Cease-And-Desist-Happy Lawyers
12/15/2003 01:00 PMThese days it seems that corporate lawyers a pretty damn quick about
pulling out their trusted "cease-and-desist" letters for just about
anything - even if no laws have actually been violated. Wired News
has two such stories this morning. First, comes the news that Miramax
is upset about a site that
reviews
Kung Fu movies. They accuse him of selling a movie that they own
the rights to. The movie was originally released in Asia in 2002, but
will come to the US next year. The problem is that the guy who runs
the site doesn't sell any movies. He does
link to a site that
does sell movies, but that site stopped selling the movie in question
once Miramax obtained the rights to it. No matter to Miramax. When
confronted with this info, they defended the action, saying that they
needed to make "it more difficult for people to purchase these films."
That may be what the lawyers think, but it might not make the most
business sense. First of all, the type of people who will go out of
their way to buy such a movie from a foreign distributor are clearly
big fans, and are the
most likely people to go out and see the
movie on the big screen when it's released here. Now, all Miramax has
done is piss off the biggest fans of the movie they're about to
release. Second, there's nothing illegal about linking to a perfectly
legal site. Miramax is simply using their lawyers to bully someone
who has done nothing wrong (and, in fact, who is trying to help
publicize their movies). What Miramax considers "protecting their
intellectual property" certainly appears to be shooting themselves in
the foot from this angle. Meanwhile, the US Olympic Committee is
hitting back against anyone who
dares to
use the word "Olympics" to describe some sort of competition.
Again, this is going past the basic purpose of trademark law - which
is to make sure consumers of a product (or event) aren't confused to
believe it's from another company (or organization). In this case,
the folks behind the "robolympics" think it's fairly unlikely that
anyone is going to confuse their event with the international athletic
competitions held every few years. In fact, they point out that the
Olympic trademark only covers athletic events - and since their event
involves robots, it's not an athletic event.

report that they've been asked to cease-and-desist by Google's
lawyers. The site was very much like Google's (screenshot) but it was
clearly in good taste. I'm not sure why Google is so testy about it.
Is a books.google.com coming soon? I wonder if they'll go after Whois

Free Software Movement
Mobilization of Software Developers: The
Free Software Movement
06/17/2004 05:32 AMMobilization of Software Developers: The Free Software
Movement by Margret S. Elliott and Walter Scacchihttp://ope
nsource.mit.edu/papers/elliottscacchi2.pdfAbstract by Author:Free/open source software
(F/OSS) development projects are growing at a rapid rate. Globally
dispersed virtual communities with large groups of software developers
contribute time and effort often without pay. One force behind this
phenomenon is the Free Software Movement (FSM), a 20 year-old social
movement whose purpose is to promote the use of free software instead
of proprietary software. We show how the ideology of the FSM
influences software development work practices in F/OSS communities
and how an occupational community of F/OSS developers has emerged from
this movement. We present results from an empirical study of a F/OSS
development community, GNUenterprise (GNUe) whose purpose is to build
an Enterprise Resource Planning system. We show how the beliefs in
freedom and freedom of choice, and the values of cooperative work and
community building are manifested in the GNUe norms of informal
self-management, immediate acceptance of fellow contributors, and open
disclosure.
How can free software compete with
commercial developers?
How can free software compete with
commercial developers?
11/05/2003 10:55 AMThe amazing thing about the free vs. proprietary software race is that
free software is in it at all. With all the resources larger
proprietary software companies have at their command, you'd think
their products would be unfailingly easy to use, virtually bug-free,
and priced so low that no one would mind paying for them. But this is
not the case. Why isn't it? You'd think a software company full of
carefully-selected programmers, project leaders, market researchers,
quality control personnel, professional documentation writers, and a
technical support staff would have no trouble beating any open source
project -- with both hands tied behind its corporate back -- even if
it gave the open source project a 3 km lead in a 5 km race.
