Changes, Changes: Amazon Stops Printing
Pages, MIT Shuts Down TV Music 10/31/2003 08:30 PM
Two followups to popular stories this week. First there was the suppose d legal "loophole" that was going to let students at MIT broadcast MP3s over their TVs. I still don't see how this is any different than something like a Live365 broadcast, but what do I know? Anyway, despite all the news articles saying how brilliant this was for side-stepping legal issues, it appears that not everyone agrees. The students who built the system claimed they had a license from the Harry Fox Agency to use the music, but the Harry Fox Agency said that was news to them. So, now, MIT has shut down the system while the legal issues get sorted out. Meanwhile, as the Authors Guild continued to worry about Amazon's full text search feature, Amazon has possibly modified the system to no longer permit printing of pages. I just went and checked, and I could print out a page, so maybe I'm missing something here - or maybe it's only for certain books. Of course, even if they did implement this, I imagine that the easy work around for this is to take a screen shot of the page, and print the image, but I've probably violated the DMCA suggesting that.

Amazon UK taken down by demand in cheap

Amazon UK was taken down for over an hour today after a rush of orders caused by apparently mis-pricing Compaq HP iPAQ H5450 Pocket PCs and HP iPAQ H1910 Pocket PCs at £23 GBP and £7 GBP respectively (normally priced at over £200 GBP each)!! I know a few people who have ordered one or two ;) - Amazon is back up and running now but we're all a bit in the dark as to whether we'll get our cut-price goods or not. Logic and fair-play (and the Trades Description Act) dicatates that we should get our goods - but I wonder.... (see also here at The Register)

theodp writes "In the Amazon v. Pinpoint lawsuit, which claims that Amazon's personalized book and music video suggestions infringe on Pinpoint's business-method patents, Amazon's motion for summary judgment has been granted in-part, with a judge ruling one asserted patent invalid, but allowing other claims to move toward trial. BTW, Amazon continues to bolster its own patent portfolio, picking up a patent last week for Locating Web-Based Product Offerings."

Another Day, Another Pointless Patent
Battle

Another Day, Another Pointless Patent
Battle 04/08/2005 03:15 PM
Another day gone by and another story about some company claiming a random patent concerning a business they're not even in. In this case, it's a patent from the same company that has managed to squeeze a ton of money out of companies by claiming to own a patent on the compression of images used in .jpg images. Now they claim they hold a patent on the concept behind DVRs, thanks to a vague patent that talks about recording TV signals on computers. Once again, you have to ask two important questions: how is that non-obvious enough to deserve a patent? It was a clear evolution of the technology. Second, why do we allow the patent system to work this way when it's clearly not rewarding innovation at all, but actively punishing those companies that innovate? Meanwhile, with TiVo building up their own patent portfolio, it looks like we'll have yet another paten t cold war involving all of this nuclear stockpiling. At what point do people realize that the system is broken? It's not encouraging innovation. It's just making some patent lawyers wealthier while taking money out of research and development of new, innovative products.

Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop

Sony Loses Patent Battle -- Told To Stop
Selling PlayStations In The US 03/28/2005 06:00 AM
If you're familiar with the word "haptics," you're familiar with the company Immersion. They're the company that seems to own every possible patent having to do with the haptics space, and any kind of tactile response or force feedback device usually involves patents that were first licensed from the company. So, in some ways, it's pretty impressive that Sony has gotten as far as it has apparently without licensing patents from the company. A court has found, however, that Sony's force feedback controllers for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 violate Immersion's patents and not only have they ordered the company to pay $90 million in damages, but also told Sony it can no longer sell either console in the US. Sony, of course, will appeal the ruling, which will allow them to keep selling the consoles in the meantime. Of course, this is the same Sony that keeps insisting on the importance of stricter intellectual property enforcement to teach violators a lesson. Funny what comes back to bite you...
