However, the vastly popular e-mail service was sluggish, if it worked at all.

Creative Commons UK: will it flower?

Creative Commons UK: will it flower? 04/06/2005 07:37 AM
Cory Doctorow: Edward sez, "Becky Hogge has written an excellent article about the launch of Creative Commons in the UK. She discusses the problems faced by CC in the UK, the institutions supporting it like the BBC, and how Creative Commons will become a household name in the UK."

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the most influential public service content provider in the world, has been behind the project from the start and is using the Creative Commons ideology as a lynchpin for its core digital project, the Creative Archive. Beyond this, institutions such as OfCom, Research Councils U.K., JISC, the Museums Libraries and Archives Council, The National Health Service, and the British Library are all making mention of CC in policy documents mapping the future dissemination of knowledge and culture. It may just represent good timing, but Lawrence Lessig's thinking has emerged as a framework for a country looking to maintain its lead role as a global content provider in the digital age.

By contrast, the commercial creative industries have raised the kind of misinformed objections to Creative Commons that will be tiresomely familiar to those engaged in the IP debate in the States. Although, during his research, Tsiavos received a warm welcome from many of the U.K.'s copyright revenue collecting societies, themselves keen to modernise practice for the digital age, the music business press in particular have been incredibly skeptical about the value of Creative Commons. Key concerns voiced have been that Creative Commons somehow undermines traditional copyright protection, that through taking part in what is in the U.K. a novel "registration process," creators may unwittingly give away their rights irrevocably, and also, in a wonderfully pitched recursive argument, that signing a CC licence could result in musicians being discounted by a music business hostile to CC. For the time being at least, the idea that, as Tsiavos puts it, "commons are not against markets; they only create new ones" appears to be falling on deaf ears.

A Passion for Pizza

A Passion for Pizza 07/05/2004 11:02 AM
I have decided that pizza is the perfect food, loved the world over. Done correctly, it includes most of the food groups according to Apache Pizza; cheese, meat, veggies and bread. Someone once said of pizza, "Pizza is a lot like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good." Being USian , I'm without time to create my own dough, squash my own tomatoes, or kill my own cow to create a truly mad pizza. There are alternatives in the quest for the pizza of world domination, though.

Passion for the story

Passion for the story 07/06/2004 05:14 AM

In my opinion, a reporter should be thirsty for information, and passionate about conveying it. It should bother you that you got the story wrong, and one should put aside pride or ego when the object of your story tells you you got it wrong. Get out the notepad and get the real story.

I think this is so basic, perhaps it should be a third tenet of real reporting, along with 1. Disclose your interests. 2. Never knowingly say something that's not true.

In the last flamefest, this is what separated the real reporters, professional or amateur, from the space-occupiers. Did they care what the actual story was, or were they just bloating the blogosphere with more uninformed crap. Mostly, unfortunately, it was the latter.

Decisiveness and Passion

Decisiveness and Passion 11/25/2003 10:31 PM
In Heidegger's Children, Richard Wolin quotes Hans Jonas on why he should have seen Heidegger's Nazism earlier: it's embedded in Heidegger's talk of "resoluteness" and "decisiveness." Says Jonas, whereas Heidegger accused idealist philosophy of being a step removed from the world, one could accuse him of something much more serious: the absolute formalism of his decisionism, where decision as such becomes the highest virtue." (132) If this is right (and it's been too long since I read Being and Time to be sure), it means Heidegger gives us no way of distinguishing a "resolute decision" to support the worst of...
