Ethical Wi-Fi Borrowing

Ethical Wi-Fi Borrowing 02/10/2004 02:40 AM
The Ethicist endorses borrowing a neighbor's Wi-Fi signal: In a fairly one-sided debate of the issues, the mention of Time-Warner's Roadrunner threat letters to purposeful Wi-Fi sharers aside, The New York Times's columnist Randy Cohen says that unless you inconvenience the unintentional service provider you're borrowing from, you're not going to ethical heck. His summary of Time-Warner's issue is specious, though. The company argues, in effect, that while you may have a glass of water at a neighbor's, you may not run a pipe from his place to yours. Actually, because the service is unmetered, it's more like saying, we're providing you unlimited water for personal use, and guests are okay, but you can't run a pipe to a neighbor's house. (Cohen quotes Mike Godwin, the formulator of Godwin's Law, which is infallibly accurate.) (I like the sound of "unintentional provider." I've been trying to find a term to cover the difference between community wireless nodes run by individuals who aren't necessarily bound to keep them running and community wireless nodes and other free nodes that are designed and "advertised" as available all the time. I was thinking purposely persistent provider, but perhaps the distinction is "unintentional provider" and "intentional provider.") [Nods to Cory D. for prompting this digression.]...

Ethical Webl0gging Part One

Ethical Webl0gging Part One 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

Update: Wednesday March 5 - The text of this post has been slightly edited and adjusted in an attempt to tighten up and clarify my argument. I believe that my position is essentially the same, but you are advised that some of the comments that follow this post were responses to an earlier version.

With Blogger's acquisition by Google, the weblog space has changed more fundamentally than I think any of us had previously realised. The main impact of that acquisition is not faster servers or a better weblog infrastructure, it's that marketing and public relations firms - always more brand-conscious than perhaps they should be - have noticed Google turn our way, and (carefully following the integrity-based brand's line-of-sight) have finally noticed us... "What is this new grassroots phenomena?" they seem to be asking - as if the press hadn't written about almost nothing else on the web for the last three years, "... and how can we get it promoting Dr Pepper?"

First things first - why should they care? They should care because there are hundreds of thousands of weblogs out there - and they're all connected to each another, spreading information and ideas around the web at tremendous speeds. The bums-on-seats factor is huge - get something on Metafilter and you can guarantee thousands of views. Get it on b3ta, tens of thousands. Get it on Slashdot, hundreds of thousands. And that's not including the impact of the thousands of personal sites. Nor does it include the people who read those sites, pick up links and e-mail them to their friends, to their bosses, girlfriends and mums. Weblogs are becoming the natural meme ecology - almost as good at spreading ideas as e-mail but with one particular advantage for marketeers - their sole raison d'etre is to point people at other web pages. They are almost inherently a tool for rating and promotion. They are public opinion made manifest. In fact the only mystery is that marketers haven't been trying to exploit them before...

Doc Searls has argued that this incursion by marketeers will be routed around - like so much censorship or damage - by the distributed nature of weblogging. I'm less convinced, and the reason I'm not convinced is that to a lesser - and mostly unacknowledged - extent, weblogs have already had their integrity 'corrupted' - we're already advertising things for companies in return for money. The most common and widespread form of integrity-reducing advertising we are undertaking are Amazon referrals. I'm not taking a high-ground here - I often place them on my site when I've bought something that I thought was particularly good, or wanted to reward an artist I like. We don't tend to think of them as interfering with our credibility or compromising our integrity - but we make more money if we write in a way that puts more Amazon links into our sites, and we make money if those links are recommendations....

The 'Project Blogger' approach is a simple and effective one - you make webloggers (members of the public) feel important and special as 'in the know' opinion formers. You ask for nothing in return because that could be perceived as pressure. Inevitably this will be something that people sign up to believing that there's no price to pay. Except they've been given expensive and cool things by a marketing organisation - so there's always the pressure of a threatened withdrawal. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and you pay with the soul of your site - the place you've carved out as a place of personal expression becomes yet another platform to sell rich teenagers Nike shoes...

There's a really good article about weblogs as marketing devices over at chronotope at the moment which I think drags a lot of the issues into the light of day. There does seem to be a perceptual difference between the analysis of weblogs from outside and attempts to manipulate them or direct them through advertising or promotional approaches. The people behind this campaigning strategy honestly cannot seem to see how their work might deform or debase the integrity of individual sites, and I suppose we couldn't expect them too. But this does seem to me to be the crux of the issue - that as soon as advertising enters the space of personal publishing, integrity becomes questionable - the particular authenticity of weblogs and diarist content becomes under threat.

So now that the marketeers and public relations people have turned towards us - what are we to do about it? The idea that weblogging would need any kind of united sense of ethics hasn't previously been very palatable to people, but I think that's changing - Nick Denton has made some very sensible comments on Blogger Freebies that try to clarify what an individual's responsibilities might be considered to be and he in turn links to Mitch Ratcliffe's Ethics and Blogging and Rebecca Blood's piece on Weblog ethics. In turn Rebecca mentions Dave Winer's position from quite a while ago. There's a resurgence of interest in the rights and responsibilities of the 'good' weblogger, which I think should now probably be opened up for debate and discussed at greater length.

So what do you think? What are the particular ethics of writing a weblog? Is it possible to preserve your integrity while taking advertising?

Hackers

UK Thinking About Protecting Ethical
Hackers 04/26/2004 02:38 PM
There have been plenty of problems with laws that haven't even tried to distinguish between various types of computer break-ins. If someone is just trying to point out a vulnerability, do they deserve the same type of punishment as someone who breaks in, takes data and trashes a system? Some more tech savvy politicians in the UK are even considering protecting so-called "benign" hacking in an update on their computer misuse laws. Of course, the definition of "benign" is going to be problematic. In the article, for example, one politician suggests it should be legal to hack around censorship laws by the government to let users access websites the government has blocked. That seems particularly confusing: the government would allow people to hack around a law they, themselves, had passed?

The first ethical questions of robotics
in society are upon us. 06/22/2004 09:04 AM
As machines and computers grow more intelligent, as a society we must consider their place within our societal code of ethics. For awhile now, these questions have been regarded by many to be so far away that to seriously worry about them now is a waste of breath and time. I intend to show that not only are serious issues of ethics regarding robots and artificial intelligence coming very soon to us, in some aspects, they already are here.

Tucows's ethical expired domain auction

Tucows's ethical expired domain auction 09/08/2004 08:06 PM
Cory Doctorow: Tucows is starting a service to auction off expired domain names, but with an escape hatch to ensure that the former holders of the expired domains don't get scr0d.

Yet, Tucows plans to protect the previous registrant's existing rights because even if a URL enters the auction, the old registrant still has a window of opportunity to retain the name under the system. Noss said Tucows plans to "hold the name in escrow for another 30 days" on top of a period of "anywhere from one to 45 days" that a former registrant has to reclaim their domain name after expiry, depending on which registrar they're dealing with.

The Guardian on therapy

The Guardian on therapy 11/19/2003 08:07 AM
Anger management therapy in prison. Does it work? Is it ethical? Prisoners who state "If I had had a better education, I would have a good job, and wouldn't need to commit crime" have "distorted thinking"; and one prisoner claims therapy helped him premeditate an attack on an informer. Should prison therapy be effectively compulsory? Meanwhile, the posit ive psychology movement aims to find out what makes people happy.

Color Therapy Cube

Color Therapy Cube 06/30/2004 06:10 AM

'Could' and 'probably' are two of my favorite words. Without them, how could we have products like the Color Therapy Cube, an array of 24 colored squares that show patterns of color that, according to the manufacturers, "could also be beneficial." It's also possible that viewing certain patterns of soothing light could cause incontinence.

They sort of screw up with the lede, though. "Breakthrough color therapy is better than a power nap and a cup of coffee!" "Better at costing $70," is the part I think they probably left out.
