Eisner
12/02/2003 01:43 AMRoy Disney has resigned from the Disney Board of Directors, and has
sent a scathing email to Michael Eisner explaining, in exorciating
detail, exactly why he's leaving the company his uncle founded.
1. The failure to bring back ABC Prime Time from the ratings abyss
it
has been in for years and your inability to program successfully the
ABC
Family Channel. Both of these failures have had, and I believe will
continue
to have, significant adverse impact on shareholder value.
2. Your consistent micro-management of everyone around you with
the
resulting loss of morale throughout the Company.
3. The timidity of your investments in our theme park business. At
Disney's California Adventure, Paris and now in Hong Kong, you have
tried to
build parks "on the cheap" and they show it and the attendance figures
reflect it.

Thanks, Robynne!)

Linspire Looking for More Lawsuits
04/20/2004 10:11 AMLinspire's lawyers (formerly Lindows) apparently need work after
their losing battle with Microsoft. Now they're testing Apple's
resolve by announcing LPhoto
and LSongs
. Two applications that bear more than a little resemblence to iPhoto
and iTunes. Apple may be smaller than Microsoft, but it doesn't take
too much research to find that they take their intellectual property
very seriously. Unlike their last battle with Microsoft, I have a
feeling they'll get to keep the names, but the apps will no doubt look
vastly different by the time they are released.

RIAA Launching New Lawsuits Anyway
RIAA Launching New Lawsuits Anyway
12/22/2003 07:43 PMGiven the weekend to think about the fact that they can't just send
out a blizzard of subpoenas any more, the RIAA has decided, what the
hell, they'll just
file a blizzard of lawsuits instead, and then get the
subpoenas to discover the identity of anonymous file sharers. Of
course, filing incorrect lawsuits probably looks worse (and is more
expensive) for the RIAA than filing incorrect subpoenas.

"Color me not surprised. It appears that Microsoft
is paying SCO to file all those ridiculous lawsuits against the
users of Linux. I've seen low before, but this is pretty damn low.
Scumsucking low."
I have no idea if any of that is true, but, it's truly sad that I
could easily believe it's true... that's how much I trust the
Microsoft corporate brand.
More Overture Breakup Lawsuits
More Overture Breakup Lawsuits
11/05/2003 02:55 AMWhen
Yahoo
bought Overture, one of the first things we mentioned was that
people shouldn't just add Overture's revenue to Yahoo's because plenty
of Overture's partners would bail out as quickly as possible, since
they saw themselves as competitors to Yahoo. It hasn't taken long for
that scenario to play out - but it's proving to be a pretty litigious
situation. First, T-Online ditched Overture for Google, but
Overture
sued and won. Now, the same thing is playing out with Lycos,
except that Lycos is striking first. They've both
dumped
Overture for Google and proactively sued them for breach of
contract. They claim that Overture needed Lycos' permission before
agreeing to the Yahoo acquisition. This might seem like a bit of a
stretch at first, but it was apparently in the contract because Lycos
wanted to make sure their private info never got into the hands of a
list of competitors - with Yahoo at the top of that list. The
complaint also alleges (just to make matters more fun) that Overture
still owes Lycos nearly a million dollars, and they'd like to see the
check pretty damn soon.

Growing Number of Lawsuits Could Hurt Google's Ad Revenue
PARIS, March 27 -
[...]
This month, Mr. Dariot triumphed in his year-and-a-half-old lawsuit
against Google's French subsidiary, which has been ordered to pay him
$97,000 in fines and legal costs.
Dariot and his travel companies, Luteciel and Viaticum,
successfully challenged Google's practice of selling Internet
advertising from rivals designed to appear with Web searches for his
trademarked Web site name, Bourse des Vols, which means flight
exchange.
[...]
Mr. Dariot's company is one of the first to win against Google;
similar cases in the United States and Germany that challenged the
search engine's use of keywords have failed.
But more companies are piling on. France is home to as many as 15
cases, according to lawyers involved.
[...]
In a recent California case, Norm Zada, the chief executive and
founder of Perfect 10, a publisher of nude photographs and adult
material based in Beverly Hills, said he started sending legal notices
to Google about the unauthorized use of his images in 2001.
"After 16 notices, they said they couldn't do anything," Mr. Zada
said.
Since then, he said, his attorney has issued a blizzard of 44
notices in the past two years that covered 9,000 unauthorized images.
In January, he sued Google in United States District Court in Los
Angeles.
Google is in an amazing position to be the target
of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things
for us on the Internet. I personally like that Google is pushing the
envelope on fair use and other issues. For instance, I think Google
Images "thumbnails" are no larger than 150x150 pixels. Because of
this, I use 150x150 as my own "safe zone" for "fair use thumbnails".
If someone sues me, at least I can point at Google. The other thing
that Google, Yahoo and others are involved in is transborder lawsuits,
which are a very interesting issue from an Internet governance point
of view.
Maybe Google should get into the legal advisory business too.

Are The RIAA Lawsuits Working?
Are The RIAA Lawsuits Working?
11/06/2003 12:25 PMEver since the RIAA started suing their customers, there's been an
upturn in CD sales. It's no surprise, of course, to find out that
record industry execs now believe
the legal slapdown strategy is working wonders. There are, of
course, plenty of other explanations (such as the economy rebounding),
but I'd actually buy into the idea that, in the short term, the RIAA's
legal strategy was likely to boost CD sales. The bigger question is
whether or not it is a long term strategy that can work. Despite
efforts by people to boycott the RIAA (which just doesn't work), most
people are still going to go out and get the music they want.
However, increasing the negative impression customers have of the
established recording industry just sets up an opportunity for other,
more customer friendly, options to come along. When consumers have no
other choice, they'll hold their nose and stick with what's given them
- but given some choice, they'll run like bandits. The music industry
may have won a short term battle, but they've opened up a huge
opportunity for a new model in music distribution. Now, the question
is who will fill it?
