Bush Campaign: The instruction sheet circulated by the Bush-Cheney
campaign to religious volunteers lists 22 "duties" to be
performed by specific dates. By July 31, for example, volunteers are
to "send your Church Directory to your State Bush-Cheney '04
Headquarters or give [it] to a BC04 Field Rep" and "Talk to
your Pastor about holding a Citizenship Sunday and Voter Registration
Drive."
Isn't this blatantly illegal?

02/15/2004 09:16 AMSo my story for the past months has been that this "war" on "piracy"
will have unintended consequences -- most importantly, consequences
for other creative remix forms of art. After a lecture in London, I
was told by a leading executive at a major label that I was
"completely wrong." That the "only" thing the record companies care
about is controlling "piracy, which means copies."
Apparently, Jay Z has inspired them to care more. See the latest
entry at

Is Using WiFi Illegal?
Is Using WiFi Illegal?
05/03/2004 01:45 PMA few weeks ago we wrote a post wondering if it's
illegal
to get hacked. Tower Records was fined for having their customer
records hacked, with the rationale that they didn't do enough to
protect them. While it makes sense to fine a company that has
revealed customer records, this becomes a slippery slope. What if you
put in place all sorts of protective measures, and hackers still get
through? Or, take the argument in a different direction - what if you
think it's fine to leave your system open? With that in mind, Mark
Rasch takes a look to see
whether or not
using WiFi may constitute a felony. It seems like a fine line,
but if someone felt it was necessary, you could get in an awful lot of
legal trouble for using WiFi. On the end user side of things,
connecting to an open WiFi access point may run afoul of laws that
make it illegal to "knowingly access a computer used in interstate or
foreign communication 'without authorization.'" If the response is
that the system was open, and thus the authorization was implied, then
does that apply to situations where a customer database is left open
as well? What if the security is so flimsy as to basically be
non-existent. Where's the line? On the other side of things, Rasch
points out that just by setting up a WiFi network, you could be in
trouble as well. Unless you carefully make sure that no one outside
of your home can access the network, you may run into problems with
many state laws that make it illegal to "share" an internet
connection, the same way it's illegal to share a cable or satellite TV
connection.

And On The Third Try... WhenU's Pop-Ups
Are Illegal
12/24/2003 01:26 PMWhenU, the Gator-wannabe company, has been happily winning lawsuits
left and
right, but it seems that people just won't stop suing, and now, yet
another judge has found that WhenU's
adware pop-ups are illegal. In this case, as much as I think
companies like WhenU and Gator are being sneaky and misleading, I
think the judge was wrong. There should be nothing illegal about
having such an ad pop-up
if the end-user knows they installed the
software that will do that sort of thing. My problem with these
companies is the fact that (at least with Gator), they are incredibly
sneaky in getting the application onto your computer, such that many
people don't realize they've installed it. However, if people
do want to install such an application that pops up ads (why? I
have no clue), they should certainly be allowed to do so - as long as
it's clear that the pop up is coming from WhenU.
Is Rip Digital Illegal? (No, Probably
Not)
Is Rip Digital Illegal? (No, Probably
Not)
12/24/2004 12:16 PMKeep in mind that I'm not a doctor of law (although I retain
an honorary PhD in 'Home Cookin''), but something didn't seem right to
me when I read Bob Kohn's analysis of Rip Digital's CD ripping service
(prompted, as it happens, by our review). Kohn—who it must be
noted, is no dime store music law pundit—posited the idea that
Rip Digital's service might be illegal, on the grounds that hiring
someone else to do your home taping equivalent might fall outside of
the scope of the owner's right of reproduction. Here's my expert
opinion: Hrmmm.
But I talked to Rip Digital's founder Dick Adams, who assured me
that they "architected [their] service in compliance with US copyright
law," and even contacted the music industry and made them aware of
their plans before they started (not that that prevents a RIAA
banhammer in the future, but still). And if you think about it, who
could possibly be using Rip Digital to infringe copyright, when the
service only rips commercially-pressed CDs you send them and they ear
mark each MP3 they send back with a code that ties it to you? You'd
have to be the most hardworking pirate in the world to get around
their voluntary protections—and then why would you need their
service?
Is This Digital Ripping Service Legal?

Is It Illegal To Get Hacked?
Is It Illegal To Get Hacked?
04/21/2004 03:53 PMTower Records and the FTC have apparently
reached a settlement
after the FTC accused them of allowing hackers to access customer
records. This brings up a very interesting question that isn't often
discussed. Since hack attacks to get at customer data happen
all
the time how does anyone determine whether or not the company
itself is negligent in not protecting the data? At what point is it
negligence rather than just being vulnerable? If the standard is set
too low, then companies have less incentive to protect their data
(though, pissed off customers may provide that incentive). However,
blaming the victim for being hacked seems to present a lot of slippery
slope style questions.

Is It Illegal To Say You're Raising
Money?
Is It Illegal To Say You're Raising
Money?
12/19/2004 03:47 PMYou see stories all the time from startup companies saying that
they're in the process of raising money from investors. However, the
folks at Silicon Beat have noticed that
this practice may be
illegal. There are plenty of regulations concerning raising
funds, and soliciting them from the public without going through the
whole SEC process is a no-no. Of course, the companies in question
will obviously say that a statement to the press that they're raising
money is quite different from
soliciting funds -- but depending
on how you read the regulations, this might not matter. If the
funding source comes by way of this press statement, then it almost
definitely does violate regulations. While the regulations are there
for a good purpose -- to avoid tricking gullible investors, this does
make you wonder if they go too far. Statements to the press shouldn't
be considered solicitation of funds no matter what, and any investor
at such an early stage is likely to go through a lot more due
diligence (one hopes) than simply reading about a company in the news.

software scams on the rise: In a moment of serious self-delusion I
almost fell for one of these outfits. Yes, I'll admit, I wanted Dreamweaver
MX for $60.
[sigh] Too good be to true, and all that.
It is not difficult to recognise the pirates from reputable
resellers: their prices are typically much lower than those offered by
official resellers. They often use anonymous domain hosting services
and their sites lack sufficient contact information.
More importantly, the software they offer is unlikely to be OEM.
Adobe never offered Acrobat or Photoshop (with the exception of
Photoshop Elements) as OEM software, but it is widely available from
OEM vendors.
I asked Chris for his opinion, and he noted that the ordering page
of the site I was looking wasn't even secured with SSL.
Yikes.

Illegal Art: "Sonny Bono is Dead"
Illegal Art: "Sonny Bono is Dead"
11/01/2003 07:33 PMSonny Bono is in fact dead, and that is also the title of the latest
compilation project from Illegal Art.
This project is a protest against the Sonny Bono Copyright Term
Extension Act, which passed through Congress in 1998 and was upheld
by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year. This act diminished the
public's ability to access older works while granting more control to
corporations anxious to preserve a few copyrights from the 1920's.
Copyright law continues to expand and defeat its original purpose of
promoting advances in the arts and sciences. These excesses damage
the evolution of our culture and only serve corporate interests.
We encourage artists to liberally sample from works that would have
fallen into the Public Domain by the year 2004 had the Sonny Bono Act
failed. Artists are also encouraged to create new works by sampling
Sonny Bono's output (or other artists who embraced the notion of
copyright lasting forever). The deadline for submissions is January
31, 2004.
