http://www.super-sc ience-fair-projects.com/

Today your teacher announced that your school is going to have a science fair and students are responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel? Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project, rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Last week we posted a story written by my colleague David Graham titled Proven: Windows is more secure than Linux. It was one of the better-read pieces on the site this week. Four days after the article was posted, David did a Google search and found more than half a dozen sites had linked to the piece -- flattering. But at least three sites posted all or a substantial portion of the piece on their own sites -- and that's a problem.

Jason Kottke was just on G4's Attack of the Show, and thanks to my hacked TiVo, it's available as a 85Mb MPEG2 torrent.

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

Getting Through College, Thanks To
Plagiarism 11/13/2003 05:25 AM
There have been plenty of stories about college kids cheating by buying or just cutting and pasting complete assignments for their classes, but this BBC piece includes a quote from someone claiming that she basically did that on every paper she's turned in throughout college, and is now using the same cut-and-paste method to finish up her dissertation. Clearly, that's an outlier example, but it does show how far people will go. The article includes lots of quotes from people who complain about the dumbing down of our education system that has allowed this to happen, but I'm not sure that's the case. Kids have always cheated in school. This just makes the process easier. Of course, what they don't mention is that the real punishment is already being handed out to these kids. They're attending (and in many cases paying quite a bit) four years of college and not learning a damn thing, because all they're doing is cutting and pasting.

Fair Use and Misuse

Fair Use and Misuse 08/27/2004 01:58 PM
Here is a very worrisome problem concerning fair use. It has to do with a dichotomy long noted by legal thinkers between the law on the books and the law in action. They often diverge. And fair use is an example of this divergence. As I said in an earlier...

Fair Use with DVDs

NY Times: Whose DVD? A Debate Over Copies. The free copying tools are available through Internet sites that are not directly subject to American law, often because the nations that those sites call home permit individuals to copy material for their own use. People seeking such tools need only pose the question in an Internet search engine to find dozens of sites devoted to the subject, including the Afonic DVD Guides site (www .dvd-guides.com), run by Joseph Chatzimichail, a 20-year-old electrical and computer engineering student in Salonika, Greece.

Cory Doctorow: The entertainment companies often tell us that "fair use isn't a right, it's a defense." It's techincally true, but legally disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing list post, "I've heard Peter Jaszi say on several occasions (and more eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our *right* to free speech."

Chipping Away at Fair Use

Ernest Has ‘Way More Time Than I Do Lately

"And doing great things with the time he takes — so check out his blog entry pointing to a wide range of discussions on the DMCA exceptions that were posted today by the Librarian of Congress: Ancillary Works on DVD DMCA Exemption Denied" [Furdlog]

Ditto and "what he said." If you've noticed a slowdown at LawMeme, it's because Ernie's posts are on his personal blog now, and he must be foregoing sleep in order to post as often as he is at The Importance Of (RSS feed here, although I'm going to take a moment to plead with Ernest to provide a feed with the full text of his posts!). He's really been on a roll the last few days.

On a more depressing note, make sure you follow the link above to Ernie's post and read up on the four< /A> DMCA exemptions& nbsp;ruling, too, because today our government again decided that we do not have a right to "fair use" of the digital files we purchase. Not surprising given the way the entertainment industry has framed the debate and paid for legislation over the last decade, but discouraging nonetheless.

If legislators were forced to vote today for the "right of first sale" of digital files, which is the exemption that has traditionally allowed libraries to circulate physical materials, I wonder how many of them would blindly sign it away without a second thought to libraries. If public libraries didn't already exist, would we be able to start them in this day and age? My guess is no.

Fair and Balanced?

Bill Gates recently got together with Steve Mills from IBM and demonstrated some web services interoperability between our two companies' products.  It has taken awhile to get to this point, from the initial hype to the point where some of these key scenarios work without smoke and mirrors; so it is nice to see a "status report" like this.

The first response I saw came in the form of this shrill attack piece run on CNET.  The author seems stuck in the last century, when people still bought the big lie about "write once run anywhere".  He fails to explain how "runs only on Java" is significantly different from "runs only on Windows", and completely misses the point that most enterprises have to support both types of systems (and many more) and therefore place a high priority on interop.

The attack piece brought back fond memories of the days when Bob Metcalfe and Jai Singh (now managing editor at CNET) were together at the helm of Infoworld.  Then I saw another analysis in CNET, covering the same interop event, but surprisingly balanced, at least in comparison to the first piece.  Finally, I found yet another analysis on CNET, again covering the same event; and this one is positively glowingly accurate!

What to make of it?  A single presentation by Bill Gates inspires three different pieces in CNET which cover the whole spectrum of opinion.  Can't complain about that.

I'm giving a couple of talks in Singapore in December and one of my kind hosts has sent me a form on which I'm to list every copyrighted and non-copyrighted source I use in the handouts, along with this explanation of what constitutes fair use in Singapore. I'd say that this is what we have to worry about our copyright law doing to the free expression of ideas, but I'm afraid you're going to tell me that this is in fact where our copyright law already is. Sigh....
