After saturation coverage of Olympics,
why no Paralympics TV coverage in US?

After saturation coverage of Olympics,
why no Paralympics TV coverage in US? 09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: BBC Journalist and blogger Stuart Hughes says:

The Olympics were a huge success for NBC.200 million viewers. A "halo effect" that boosted other channels and programmes. An estimated $60-70 million profit (Source: Hollywood Reporter) Before the Games started, NBC boast ed of the depth and breadth of its coverage.1210 hours of events.103 commentators. 28 Olympians on the commentary team. A week from now, I'll be heading back to Athens for Greece's second remarkable major sporting event of the year. The Paraly mpics will boast:4000 athletes. 140 countries represented.525 gold medals at stake. 19 sports. There will be no American TV coverage of the Paralympics. Let me repeat that. There will be NO AMERICAN TV COVERAGE OF THE PARALYMPICS. Not one hour of live coverage. Not one commentator. Not one Olympian on the commentary team. Nothing. This at the same time that a record number of journalists are preparing to cover the Paralympics.

As I go typing up notes and such, I figured I'd write this up as well. A couple of days ago I made vague reference to the large number of continuations $WORK_PROJECT creates when running reports, and its heavy use of them in general. Since it's a pretty good example of places that're worth using continuations, I figured I'd go into some detail. Assume, for a moment, that you've got an interactive application that has a built-in menu system. The user chooses a menu option, a subroutine is called, and at some point control gets dropped back to the...

From the EFF EFFector- “Induce Act Update - Turning Up the Heat On August 19th, a federal court agreed with EFF and unanimously ruled that creating file-sharing software doesn’t violate copyright law. This is a huge setback for the entertainment industry’s misguided fight against innovation, but it will also become its rallying cry.

California's Continuing Budget Mess

California's Continuing Budget Mess 05/18/2004 11:44 AM

Mercury News (reg req): Future budgets sure to fall short, state analyst says. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan to balance the upcoming budget would exacerbate California's long-term mismatch between spending and income, creating a nearly $8 billion shortfall two years from now, the non-partisan legislative analyst warned Monday. The governor has ``missed an opportunity in good economic times to ensure that we are moving toward fiscal stability,'' said Legislative Analyst Elizabeth Hill.

After campaigning on a promise to make the hard choices and genuinely deal with this problem, Schwarzenegger has done exactly what Gray Davis did before him: Punt. Except that the current governor, unlike Davis, had the clout to actually get something done. He's squandering the opportunity, and California will suffer as a result. The Legislature shares the responsibility for this ongoing debacle, because the lawmakers are the ones who've enacted such ridiculous budgets over the years and now refuse to face up to what they've done. But the one person in Sacramento who could have broken the logjam has declined. A shame.

So there's a view about the file-sharing debate held by most people who don't know anything about the debate. It is a view the recording industry likes most people to hold. It is a view far from anything anyone interesting is saying. The view - call it the uninformed stereotype (US) view - goes something like this: that there are just two sides to this debate, those who favor "piracy" and those who don't. Supporters of Grokster are people who favor piracy, and who are against artists. On Thursday, at the NYPL, I had the extraordinarily pleasure of being on stage with Jeff Tweedy and Steven Johnson, for a discussion titled "Who Owns Culture?" The evening started with 15 minutes of me and my "powerpoint" (actually, Keynote), and then a 50 minute discussion with Tweedy and me, moderated by Johnson. There was then time for questions from the audience. It was an extraordinary evening. I had the chance before to talk to Tweedy, so I wasn't surprised. But he was extraordinary — funny, subtle, smart about the issues, and deeply passionate. Suffice it that neither he nor I (as is obvious to anyone on this page) subscribe to, or fit, within the US view. I explicitly denounced "piracy"; Tweedy -- in context -- said nothing to support the view that people should infringe the rights of other artists. David Carr of the New York Times was at the event. He wrote a review. Everyone I've spoken to loved the piece. I think they loved it because it was a piece printed in the Times, and we're a culture that loves attention more than accuracy. The review is filled with quotes from Tweedy, taken out of context, to support the US view. Nothing in the article suggests anything was said at all contrary to the US view. One reading the piece would think, there they go again, those supporters of theft, and haters of artists. I'm not sure why there needs to be a NYTimes, if its role is simply to reinforce what people already think, especially with pieces like this. God forbid the Nation's paper of record should reflect something more subtle or complex than the crudest view of an important debate.

continuing congressional confusion on
copyrights (ie, not just (c), or (cc),
or even (ccc) but (cccc)) 07/07/2004 02:51 PM
Word has it that the regulators in Washington are enamored of Professor (in the School of Computing) Hollaar's recent paper, So ny Revisited, and that it is in part responsible for Congress' current infatuation with the Induce Act. Professor Hollaar is a smart guy, and his paper is an interesting and well-researched examination of secondary liability in the context of copyright law. But if Congress thinks this justifies the Induce Act, then there is some deep confusion somewhere. I suspect there are two possible sources for this confusion. (1) Hollaar discusses the scope of "inducement" liability in the context of patent law. There are some in Congress who seem to think that the Induce Act "merely" carries the same idea to copyright law. This is just a mistake. The scope of the Induce Act as written is far broader than the scope of inducing patent infringement as interpreted. And if "all" Congress wants to do is extend patent inducement to copyright law, then it should amendment the Induce Act to state precisely that. That would be a vast improvement over the existing proposal -- not enough to justify it in my mind, but it would make the harm it will cause much much less significant. (2) Hollaar discusses the purpose and meaning of the Sony case. While his discussion is technically correct enough (though the idea that copyright is the right to protect a "business model" is really not right at all), imho, the Professor, and in turn, the supporters of the Induce Act, are really missing the point of Sony. As everybody knows, Sony set the rule that when a new technology has the "potential" to support "substantial noninfringing use" of copyrighted material, the maker of the technology would not face secondary liability for copyright infringement. But what no one (in Washington, at least) seems to understand is why Sony set that standard. It was not because the Supreme Court is filled with copyright infringers who wanted to encourage copyright infringement. It was instead because the Supreme Court was filled with judges not eager to engage in the complex balancing required to judge whether a technology creates more benefit than harm. As the Court stated:

Sound policy, as well as history, supports our consistent deference to Congress when major technological innovations alter the market for copyrighted materials. Congress has the constitutional authority and the institutional ability to accommodate fully the varied permutations of competing interests that are inevitably implicated by such new technology.

This is not an opinion about copyright law alone. It is an opinion about separation of powers -- about which branch is best able to do the necessary balancing that copyright law demands, "within the limits of the constitutional grant." Sony says, in effect, when a technology is not simply a technology for violating the law, then it is left to Congress to decide whether and how that technology is to be regulated. Congress, not the courts. Why is that a great idea? Because (isn't this obvious to Republicans?) courts are awful, expensive, and slow institutions for judging the economic effect of new technology. Soviet planners with better lighting. And rather than bury innovators in years of litigation before their innovation gets to market, the Sony rule says: let the innovation go, if there is a potential for a substantial noninfringing use, and if Congress wants to regulate it more, then let Congress weigh the benefits of the technology against its costs. Ignoring this extremely sensible separation of powers principle has already cost Silicon Valley dearly. See, e.g., ReplayTV. ReplayTV is the digital equivalent of the VCR. It does the job more efficiently, and it promised to do some things the VCR couldn't do, too. But under the principle of Sony (innovate first, regulate later), it should plainly have been allowed into the market without intervention by the courts. Yet precisely the opposite happened. Content owners sued ReplayTV. It was dragged into federal litigation for many many months defending its new technology. And before the case could be resolved, the company effectively declared bankruptcy. Is this the future Senators Hatch and Leahy want for all new technologies that impact copyrighted material? Will every Apple be forced to defend its innovation in a federal court? Will federal judges become the arbiters of good technology? Will technology firms be forced to spend more on lawyers than on R&D? Whatever the lobbyists say about this bill, this is the single most important fact that we should not forget: It is a lawyer employment act. It will force technologists into court before they get to enter the market place. It will shift responsibility for striking the balance in copyright law from Congress to unelected federal judges. That's not a bad thing for me, or my kind. I, after all, think the courts have some role here (in setting the limits of copyright), and I, after all, make lawyers for a living. But for an already overregulated Silicon Valley, it is another nail in the coffin by the regulating-obsessed in Washington.

Continuing to help Osama bin Laden with
his recruiting drive, one tortured Iraqi
prisoner at a time 04/30/2004 12:37 AM
Via 60 Minutes, the Memory Hole has these extremely graphic pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. What a command failure -- General Abizaid, the Central Command commander, should be relieved on the spot, as should every commander in the chain of command between the him and the general in charge of the jail. A description of the pictures, from CBS 60 Minutes: 60 Minutes II has a dozen of these pictures, and there are many more – pictures that show Americans, men and women in military uniforms, posing with naked Iraqi prisoners. There are shots of the prisoners stacked in a pyramid, one with a slur written on his skin in English. In some, the male prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other. And in most of the pictures, the Americans are laughing, posing, pointing, or giving the camera a thumbs-up .... But the Army investigation found serious problems behind the scenes. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Frederick said that dogs were “used for intimidation factors.” Part of the Army's own investigation is a statement from an Iraqi detainee who charges a translator - hired to work at the prison - with raping a male juvenile prisoner: "They covered all the doors with sheets. I heard the screaming. ...and the female soldier was taking pictures." There is also a picture of an Iraqi man who appears to be dead -- and badly beaten. What is this war doing to American soldiers? What are we doing to Iraqis? What will the Arab and Islamic reaction for these foul and barbaric acts be when Aljazeera broadcasts the pictures through the Arab speaking world? We are behaving in Iraq exactly as Osama bin Laden would want us to act. How many more jihadists did we create today?...
