More from Jerry Lobdill, who writes about his own wonderful experiences with the existing copyright system:

I am a small businessman. Among other things I am interested in publishing a few things. I have multiple interests, so the subjects I'm interested in vary. One of my interests is the history of the US, especially the era of the wild west. I have discovered an out of print book that is extremely important to students of the wild west. It is extremely rare and was published only in first edition in 1928. This book was renewed in the name only of the author in 1955, and under present law will not enter public domain until 2022. (According to my research no published works will enter the public domain until 2019.) However, the author died in 1963. He had no children, and his wife died in 1976. Her will does not mention any copyrights. I am obtaining a copy of the will of the author but have not seen it yet. I have had the US Copyright Office do a paid search, and all they have on record is that the author renewed the copyright in 1955. There is no record of transfer of ownership on file. I inquired of the original publisher if they knew anything about the author's copyright and was first told that they knew nothing about the book of interest. Then, they said they thought they owned the copyright but were investigating to be certain. Then I was told that they definitely owned the copyright. When I asked for a xerox of the copyright transfer document that law prescribes, transferring the renewed copyright to them, they refused to produce it, saying that their policy is not to provide such information to "private parties". When I explained that I was thinking of republishing the book and that the US Copyright Office records show that the renewal belonged to the author only, and that I needed proof of their claim before negotiating for publishing rights, I was told that I was too small a publisher to qualify. So...here I sit, with an extensive file that contains no transfer document. The US Copyright Office has no record of a transfer of ownership, and I feel that there is a strong possibility that the publisher is lying about ownership. If so it would not be unusual in today's environment. They probably hoped that I'd negotiate with them without proof. As a result of this situation I have spent money and time and have only a written assertion of ownership without proof. Were it not for this unsupported claim I would know that there was a transfer or that there is no one alive who is likely to challenge my republication of the book. The law is flawed in my opinion if it requires a written transfer of ownership (like real property) but does not require a claimant to produce the proof of ownership except in the context of a copyright infringement suit. If you agree, what can be done to get the law repaired? The way it is now it invites and rewards false claims of this sort to the detriment of reasonable use of works that are effectively public domain.

Does the Net promote echo-chambers?

Does the Net promote echo-chambers? 01/28/2004 02:33 PM
Steven Johnson questions the conventional wisdom that the Net fragments us into like-minded micro-communities.  (FYI, the seminal elaboration of this viewpoint is Andrew Shapiro's The Control Revolution.) 

I generally agree with Johnson's view.  The Net gives us many tools to filter information and to spend our time in closed communities.  But at the same time, it exposes us to far more diversity than any previous medium.  Those filters are never perfect.  And there is a countervailing pressure toward aggregation, which works against the fragmenting effects of filters.  Google and Yahoo aren't echo chambers, because their value comes from their breadth and scale. 

Furthermore, even when online communities and information sources are narrowly tailored to a specific viewpoint, that doesn't mean the people participating in them are hermetically walled off from one another.  Communities overlap.  If I'm a dog owner, a libertarian, and a fan of Sex and the City (for the record, I'm none of the above), chances are the people and content I interact with will differ from me along at least one of those dimensions.  Some people may vote based on a single issue, but no one is ultimately defined by a single interest.  The more specialized the commuity, the more likely its members will differ on other matters.  Spill-over is inevitable.

The final point is that the Net is still largely an open platform.  There is always room for another community or information source.  Traditional media has never been open in the same way.  With consolidation and the rise of politically polarized news, it is becoming even less so.  At a dinner the other night, I talked with Mark Walsh, a former exec at VerticalNet and AOL, and technology advisor to the Democratic Party.  He is launching a liberal talk radio network called Progress Media in eight cities in March.  Perhaps, on radio at least, there is still some room to challenge the dominant opinion current.
