Wi-Fi Nightmare?

Wi-Fi Nightmare? 10/28/2003 11:09 PM
Some businesses may rue the day they began offering Wi-Fi: At least according to this writer, who thinks that coffee shops and McDonald's restaurants are running into problems with laptop users parking to use the Internet without buying much. In reality, this doesn't seem to be the case. While Wi-Fi in McDonald's is an unusual fit, it's not unusual because the Wi-Fi may encourage people to camp out, as the author of this piece suggests. I spoke with a McDonald's exec a couple of months ago and in fact McDonald's would like to encourage people to hang out in the restaurants. Apparently most people take their food to go. If they decide to sit and eat, he reasoned, they may end up buying more food. Many cafes say that Wi-Fi is drawing customers into their shops during the least busy times. I think that customers will self-police themselves during busy times. For example, I went up to my local coffee shop on a Sunday morning toting my laptop. The place was packed and I barely managed to get a seat. Because of the crowds, I left as soon as I was done with my tea to give someone else my seat, rather then hang out over my Wi-Fi connection. I think a lot of people would do the same....

Last night, right before midnight some smartass broke into my computer and decided to remove all traces of his visit by deleting everything. And I mean everything.

We decided to upgrade the hardware from a 266 MHz PII to a dual-Athlon-1.3 GHz while we were at it, changed the server operating system and are trying to restore the data. Unfortunately, some key config files seem to be missing, so it'll take a while. Apache+Tomcat is a very nasty combination at times.

It's not yet known how the guy got into the system.

If you need to email me, please use my GMail address jalkanen@gmail.com, as I cannot yet rely on my regular email system. Thank you.

My Corbis Nightmare

My Corbis Nightmare 06/11/2004 02:26 PM

Yesterday, I wanted to buy a stock image from Corbis to use in a Web site I'm developing. It was a standard hi-res image of a man standing in front of a building reading a newspaper. This should have been simple...

For those that don't know, Corbis is the largest respository of digital images in the world. It's owned by our good friend, Bill Gates (though not Microsoft, I understand — Bill owns Corbis personally).

After I found the image on Corbis, I clicked it and got a pop-up window. I found a link called "Pricing" and clicked it. Simple enough — things were looking straightforward.

Then Corbis told me that I had to be logged in. Why? Annoying, but I guessed at my username and password to the best of my recollection. Wrong password. I tried the "forgot my password" link. I had to have the answer to a question ("What is your favorite name?") that I must have set up when I created the account two years ago. Four guesses later, I got it.

The password arrived via email, and I managed to get logged in. I went back to my image and clicked "Pricing." This is what I got:

This image is distributed as Rights Managed. To price this image, add it to your Lightbox or Cart and click "Find Price" to answer a few usage questions.

What is "Rights Managed"? For that matter, what's a "lightbox" (no Wikipedia entry for it — I looked)? Is it a shopping cart? Well, no, because there was a shopping cart too. I found a link under the image that said "lightbox" and clicked it. Nothing happened. I looked around some more.

There was a lower frame in the browser window with a link that said "Create new lightbox." Now, at this point I still don't know what a "lightbox" is, but evidently I have to have one, so I clicked that link.

The resulting pop-up (thank God I wasn't running a blocker — this site lives on pop-ups) asked for a "name," "a client name," and a "parent lightbox." Evidently all I needed to enter was a name. I named my lightbox "THIS SUCKS."

Now that I had a lightbox (but not a clue), I was able to add my image, and a thumbnail of it appeared in the lower frame. Score one for me.

I went back to my image and clicked on the "Pricing" link. Same message as before:

This image is distributed as Rights Managed. To price this image, add it to your Lightbox or Cart and click "Find Price" to answer a few usage questions.

But now there was a little button that said "Price this Image." Awesome — we're making progress. I clicked the button, hopefully.

I then got a little wizard. I had to a pick a "Category," which appeared to be how I was going to use the image. I picked "Web/CDROM." Then I had to pick a "Use Type." My options were "Educational," "Single-Use," and "Multiple-URL." Since this was going to go in the Web site banner, I picked "Multiple-URL."

Another form appeared below the first. The heading was "Secondary Usage Parameters." I could check either "Exclusive Rights" or "Multiple Uses." I think this meant whether I wanted the image all to myself, or whether other people could use it too. I didn't care, really, but there was a warning that read:

Selecting "Exclusive Rights" or "Multiple Uses" will restrict your ability to get online pricing.

I left both options blank. The rest of the fields in the form were required.

The next option was "Geo. Distribution" and there was a list of countries. Geographic distribution? This is going on the Web — it can be accessed anywhere. I picked "World." (What if I had picked "United States" — would I have to geolocate my visitors and block the foreign ones?)

Duration? Well, forever, I guess. But "two years" was the longest, so I picked that.

Industry? Real estate. Simple enough.

Language? What the.... this is picture! There is no language! I picked "All."

Exposure? "1-4 Web sites"

I said a little prayer and clicked "Apply Usage." Here's what I got:

Online pricing of Rights Managed images is not available for the usage you have selected. Please contact your Corbis account representative to obtain pricing.

I slowly cocked the revolver and placed it against my temple...

First of all, what does "Rights Managed" mean, anyway? (Yes, I searched Wikipedia...nothing). Second, I don't have a "Corbis account representative."

I looked around the page some more, and to my amazement, I found a link in the header for "My rep". I clicked it and was taken to what looked like, by all appearances, a standard contact page. In fact, the email address was "sales@corbis.com". Yeah, that looks like my rep all right... [insert eye rolling here]

Since I had come so far, I sent an email anyway asking for pricing on the image and giving the ID number. Here's what I got back:

For pricing & licensing information or research on Corbis images, please contact our sales support team at 1-800-260-0444. When you call, please be prepared to provide the image number(s) you are interested in as well as the usage specifications. To receive pricing, you must be registered at our Professional Use website. A sales support team member will be happy to register you over the phone or you may do so online.

Are you kidding me with this? I'm done with Corbis for good. I will find another man standing in front of another building reading another newspaper — this particular guy isn't worth the trouble anymore.

Does anyone know a good site where I can purchase simple stock images?

Somehow I can tell that Matt had a deprived childhood. Or maybe one that was too rich. In either case, he doesn’t understand the Zen of garage sales, that much is obvious. The Zen, my friend, is not in getting an ‘antique’ from the 1950’s or a third-hand copy of the original Atari release of Pac-Man, but in the hunt and the entire day spent in the outdoors with people you want to spend time…

Sure enough, anyone have a baseball bat, fortunately it was not the one before that, which I sent to my mom chatting about something personal. This has happened to me twice in the last month. Sure makes you feel stupid that's for sure.

Garage door openers aren't copyrighted,
don't get DMCA protection

Garage door openers aren't copyrighted,
don't get DMCA protection 09/01/2004 06:10 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals has brought down a verdict in the "Skylink" case. That's a DMCA case whereing a garage-door-opener company asserted that another company, which makes interoperable clickers (in case you lose yours or want a spare for your spouse) violated the DMCA by circumventing the protection on the copyrighted software in the garage-door-opener. Yeah, you read right. Copyrighted garage-door-openers.

Anyway, the court delivered the clearest and most ringing condemnation of the overbroad application of the DMCA yet:

The DMCA does not create a new property right for copyright owners. Nor, for that matter, does it divest the public of the property rights that the Copyright Act has long granted to the public. The anticircumvention and anti-trafficking provisions of the DMCA create new grounds of liability. A copyright owner seeking to impose liability on an accused circumventor must demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the circumvention at issue and a use relating to a property right for which the Copyright Act permits the copyright owner to withhold authorization-as well as notice that authorization was withheld. A copyright owner seeking to impose liability on an accused trafficker must demonstrate that the trafficker's device enables either copyright infringement or a prohibited circumvention. Here, the District Court correctly ruled that Chamberlain pled no connection between unauthorized use of its copyrighted software and Skylink's accused transmitter. This connection is critical to sustaining a cause of action under the DMCA. We therefore affirm the District Court's summary judgment in favor of Skylink.
