EFF defending creators of This Land is
Your Land parody
EFF defending creators of This Land is
Your Land parody
07/29/2004 06:53 AMI'm proud to relate that EFF is representing Jib Jab, the creators of
the wonderful "This Land is Your Land"
Flash parody that aroused
the ire of the holder of Woody Guthrie's copyrights and resulted in a
threatened
lawuit. Here's a little bit of my cow-orker Fred von Lohmann's
letter to the copyright-holder's lawyers.
In your July 23 letter, you contend that "This Land" offers no
"satirical comment" on the Guthrie original. You are mistaken.
While your view of Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" as being
predominantly about "the beauty of the American landscape" and "the
disenfranchisement of the underclass" is interesting, most Americans
think of the song as an iconic expression of the ideal of national
unity. Jib Jab's parody addresses, among other things, the lack of
national unity that characterizes our current political climate
(ending with the optimistic hope that unity might be rediscovered). In
short, "This Land" explores exactly the same themes as the Guthrie
original, using the parodic device of contrast and juxtaposition to
comment on the original. See Abilene Music v. Sony Music
Entertainment, 320 F .Supp.2d 84, 90-91 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (emphasizing
the role of contrast and juxtaposition as parodic devices). The
parodic comment takes on an additional dimension of irony when viewed
in light of the often omitted closing stanzas of Guthrie's original.

Burning jet fuel while going nowhere
over Richmond, VA
Burning jet fuel while going nowhere
over Richmond, VA
03/29/2005 09:25 AMToday was my first day flying "Sky 12", Richmond, Virginia's only
traffic helicopter. Sky 12 is a Bell 206 Jet Ranger that has
been fitted with a Wescam gyro-stabilized camera mount and a microwave
link back to the TV station. Normally the helicopter is operated
by a single pilot who simultaneously talks to the TV news producer,
aims the camera, and positions the aircraft. However, for $125
per hour the contractor, HeloAir, sells the right seat to rated
helicopter pilots who want to build 206 time or, like me, just have
some fun. The left seat is occupied by an expert with thousands of
flying hours, a flight instructor's rating, and years of experience
doing TV work. This morning it was Alisa, one of only a few hundred
female commercial helicopter pilots in the U.S. [Young female readers:
this is a great career for a woman because there is a certain amount
of preferential hiring on the basis of sex and employers want pilots
who are as light as possible so that they can fill the rest of the
ship with equipment or passengers (just don't expect to earn more than
$60,000/year and much much less for the first five years)].
Starting a turbine engine is more complex and fraught with
potential for expensive damage than starting a piston engine.
You begin by holding down the starter button and holding it until the
turbine has been spun up to about 15%. Then you roll the
throttle to flight idle, which introduces fuel into the turbine.
You continue holding the starter button down until the turbine has
reached 60%, at which point turning, burning and cooling become
self-sustaining. If at any time the turbine outlet temperature
goes into the red, indicating a "hot start", you must roll the
throttle back to "off" to take the fuel out of the system while again
keeping the turbine rotating with the starter so that it gets cooling
air.
Once started we lifted off from the ramp and climbed to 1200' to
circle downtown Richmond and await instructions from the station. Upon
being told to film a particular bridge we would try to approach it so
that we were heading into the wind. Then we brought the
helicopter to an "out of ground effect" (mid-air) hover, with the
airspeed coming down below 30 knots. Remember that we were into
the wind so even if we weren't moving over the ground we were still
flying forward through the air to some extent. This maneuver
violates every principle that I had been taught in the light piston
Robinson R22 during training. The R22 has almost no inertia in
the rotor system. If the engine quits the blades will spin down
dangerously slow within about 1 second. You must immediately
lower the collective to begin gliding but also usually pull back on
the cyclic to transfer some of the forward speed energy into higher
blade RPM. If you didn't have any forward airspeed to perform
that flare the blades potentially could spin down below about 83% in
which case you fall like a rock and can't recover without restarting
the engine. The Bell 206, by contrast, has a lot more inertia in
the engine, spinning at 30,000 RPM, and the heavy rotor blades.
In the unlikely event that the engine were to quit there would be
plenty of time to notice, react, lower the collective, and push the
cyclic forward to regain airspeed to be used at the end of an
autorotation the ground.
The Jet Ranger is mostly easier to fly than the R22 because it is
so much heavier and therefore more stable. Transitioning pilots
will need to get used to a bit of lag after power adjustments are
requested, watching the ball instead of yaw strings and using more
anti-torque pedal in general, and the lack of feedback from the cyclic
due to the hydraulic boosting.
One thing that I loved about the Jet Ranger was the lack of
vibration in the ship overall and in the cyclic. Some R22s feel
like they are about to come apart and, even if you aren't worried, the
vibration is fatiguing. Whether that smoothness is worth an
extra $500 per hour is another question...

04/02/2005 01:49 PMHere are some photos by David Rafner, who grew up in my old
neighborhood in Bethesda, Maryland and now lives in Richmond. He
rode in the back seat with a camera while Kevin Peterson and I flew
Sky 12.
We start off with Sky 12, a 15,000-hour Bell 206 Jet Ranger sitting
on its dolly, my nemesis at the end of every flight.

Part of the preflight process involves climbing on to the top of
the helicopter to check the nuts and bolts holding the rotor system
and flight controls together.

Beautiful downtown Richmond (actually Richmond is all office
buildings and highways; anyone with money has fled to the western
suburbs though the Fan district near the art museum shows some signs
of revitalization if you don't mind living right next to some truly
bad neighborhoods)...

I watched more TV news in the last week than in all of
2004. The camera monitor includes a little inset window showing
the actual broadcast, complete with commercials.

08/10/2004 12:44 PMNothing like launching a new standards effort the same day you
leave town. Lots of confusion over "why the Open-media.org Wiki
is closed".
So just to be clear.
There is no Wiki - there is nothing there - you;r enot missing
anything. The original call for participation was to get help from
folks so we COULD have something on teh Wiki and somethign to
show.
Once that's there - THEN it'll be open - and we'll have a web site
- too. So give us a few days - maybe a week.

Meanwhile I get to meet Roland Tanglao and Boris Mann
(of Streamline) tonight
- along with Stewart Butterfield, Caterina
Fake and Jon Husband for
dinner at some whacky Japanese place (Guu with Handsome.)
I think they think I'm some sort of Japan-o-phile. It's true - I
used to be - back between 86'-95' - I did over 60 trips there.
Show - des neh! Wari Wari Wah.
Anyway - Vancouver is a
gorgeous city, the weather is perfect and I'm nerding out on all
sorts of new tools, opportunities and funding.
