True confessions from the DeCSS Haiku

True confessions from the DeCSS Haiku
author 01/27/2004 08:37 PM
After three years, my cow-orker Seth Schoen has broken his hard silence and admitted to writing the DeCSS haiku. In this poem, the algortihm necessary for playing back DVDs is expressed as a series of haiku, despite the fact that such publication is banned under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In this essay, he explains his motivations and the procedure he went through:

Writing the bulk of the poem itself took me around 15 hours over the course of several days, excluding the CSS tables (whose construction I describe below). As Leigh Ann Hildebrand observed, there were classical influences at work in my efforts; I realized immediately that I would need to begin with an invocation of the Muse. (My poetic skills were not up to constructing dactyllic hexameters, and I had already settled on the haiku form.) I used Prof. Touretzky's article "The CSS Decryption Algorithm" as my main source for the technical details, but I set myself a strict rule against using hexadecimal constants, because they seemed unpoetic. Everything had to come back into decimal form, because a number is a number. I also felt that it was important to include passages honoring and praising heroes (even using an epithet in the traditional epic way: "wise Andreas Bogk", only partly metri causa) together with a substantial amount of context. After all, one of the ways long poetry maintains interest is by telling several stories at once, and by painting scenery. Finally, I felt that expressing the fear of censorship directly and repeatedly within the poem itself created an interesting tension. It emphasized that the poem had really been written by a human author with a human voice and his own interests and passions. Aware of the prospect of censorship, the poem confronts would-be censors directly and takes them to task. By contrast, most source code is relatively defenseless: it can't fight against its own suppression, and it gives less direct evidence of being in a human voice, leading some people to accept its stigmatization as "merely mechanical" or "merely functional". I feel that it is essential that the poem constantly pleads for its own life -- an effect accomplished comically yet powerfully by Joe Wecker in "Descramble (This Function Is Void)"

Music Sales Haven't Really Dropped

Music Sales Haven't Really Dropped 05/13/2004 06:34 PM
New Media Musings points us to a week old article showing how the RIAA fudges CD sales figures to show they're dropping when they're actually increasing. It turns out that the RIAA used numbers that only show CD shipments to stores - and not how many CDs were actually purchased. In other words, they're using a number they have some control over. However, back in the real world, consumers are actually buying more CDs. Also, the article notes that stores are realizing they don't need to carry as much inventory, as they can go with more of a "just-in-time" supply chain model. In other words, these fewer shipments also mean that the industry is even more profitable than before. The fact that there are fewer shipments just means the industry has become more efficient. Unfortunately, this doesn't fit with the RIAA's view of the world, so they had to come up with a different method to maintain the fiction that they're selling.

419 Scammer Charges Dropped

419 Scammer Charges Dropped 11/12/2003 03:18 PM
Last week we had the story of how a woman who received a 419 Nigerian scam email played along to try to track down the scammers. When someone was sent to her to pick up the money, he was arrested. As was pointed out at the time, it sounds as though this guy was just a courier and not the actual scammer - but, in theory should be able to help authorities find the real scammers. Instead, though, they've released him without any charges being filed - and without an explanation. The woman who set up the sting is furious and claims this is why such scams continue. Of course, if the guy really is just the courier there probably isn't too much they can charge him with. Even if they did charge him with some small crime for helping out, it wouldn't do much to stop the scam anyway. Perhaps, in releasing him, they're going to use him to get more information about the real scammers.

The Continental Features comics syndicate has announced that it will be dropping Doonesbury because the strip is "too controversial" (lately, Trudeau has been using the strip to criticise the Iraq War and Fox News).

The Continental head said he doesn't know exactly when "Doonesbury" will leave the package; he's currently polling clients to see if they want to replace it with "Agnes," "Get Fuzzy," "Pickles," "Zits," or another comic.
