Feed usage and copyright

Feed usage and copyright 02/01/2005 09:34 PM

Martin Schwimmer, a trademark lawyer, has asked Bloglines to remove his feed from their service, partly on the grounds that Bloglines plans on eventually selling advertising on their site. Scoble&# 8217;s got a number of links to reactions to the news.

The complaint is that his feed is licensed under a “no commercial use” Creative Commons license and he claims that Bloglines, being a commercial service, is violating that license by allowing their users to subscribe to his feed.

There are a number of products and services that are advertising supported and rely on content generated by others. Although search listings contain only excerpts of web pages, search engines regularly place advertisements alongside those excerpts. Gmail puts ads next to email created by other people. Eudora does the same. Opera puts their own ads next to every page I view.

Would Mr. Schwimmer demand that Google block Gmail addresses from receiving his email? Or that Opera refuse to display the pages on his web site?

RSS is designed to to allow for easy republication and consumption of content. Bloglines isn’t taking a feed and claiming that content as their own. They’re only showing feeds to people in direct response to their request. I’d have to subscribe to Mr. Schwimmer’s feed in order to see it in Bloglines. Is this a commercial use?

This is a sticky question. Bloglines is providing a product to consumers and they have to make money somewhere. Feeds are designed to allow people to read the content of the site without visiting the actual site. So the Bloglines service is letting people use the feed that Schwimmer is publishing in the way that it was intended to be used. A product like MyRSS that scrapes sites, turning them into feeds and inserting ads is a much more clear issue. They’re re-purposing content, republishing it in a way that it wasn’t intended to be used, and inserting their own ads into it.

The question is where do we draw the line? Is reading the feed in a reader like FeedDemon a commercial use? I had to buy a copy. What about an aggregated list of posts on a site? Mt-Plugins.org used to have the latest posts from a number of plugin authors (including me) on their site. Would this be an acceptable use? Syndic8 publishes a list of random feed items as RSS. Is that okay? Would your answer change if Syndic8 started selling ads in that feed? There are a number of services that will send you feed contents by email. If I subscribed to Schwimmer’s feed with such a service and had those emails go to my Gmail address, is that a commercial use of his content and who is responsible for it?

I don’t have an easy answer to any of those questions. Up until now when faced with the question of commercial use of my feed (which I also prohibit), I’ve treated it on a case by case basis. I know a commercial use when I see it but I’d be hard pressed to offer up a definition of it.

A side note: Schwimmer is concerned that Bloglines doesn’t display his contact information alongside his feed. That’s because he doesn’t provide it in the feed. Feed readers can only display what he actually publishes. He also doesn’t include his Creative Commons license (or any other) in his feed, simply stating “Copyright 2005 Martin Schwimmer.”

Here's a question: is it possible, given a bunch of videofiles on your server, to keep track of bandwidth usage with PHP (+ Apache, Linux)? Maybe something like mod_throttle/3.1.2 can help? I am thinking through different ways of dynamically generating different SMIL files (with PHP) based on how much ...

Harry Fuecks: About PHP usage

Harry Fuecks: About PHP usage 05/19/2004 01:30 AM
Another (guess) big user group which is largely ignored is those employing PHP on corporate Intranets / Extranets (that includes me so I've got opinions). I would hazard a guess that of the top 1000 companies in the world, 80%+ have PHP in action somewhere (although probably also unaware of the fact at a managerial level).

This group faces an entirely different set of problems - performance is often less important, traffic being relatively low. Being able to integrate PHP with a whole range of "back office" systems as well as desktop applications is the biggest issue for this group, integration with Windows being the #1 problem.

Great post, Harry. Most of my PHP work is on corporate Intranets/Extranets. Integration with MS Office is the biggest desktop hurdle we had to face. For reports and document generation, this can be solved by generating MS-Word files in RTF format or Excel format. There are several such document libraries available (both commercial and open source).

PHP allows you to call COM objects. However if integration to COM objects is required, then writing XML-RPC stubs that communicate with servers running COM objects is definitely more robust than calling COM from PHP.

I must admit performance is still an issue, especially if you are rolling out web applications that are used by large numbers of users, eg. for online transaction processing. Fortunately, bandwidth is normally not a problem, except for Extranets that allow connection via modem.

Making usage statistics on a web site is one of the most enjoyable things for me on the Internet. Thanks to the technology, you can see each click of each visitor, the date of the visiting, and how many seconds the user was reading your site. I use this feature to track which of my articles was read for the longest time. In this article I will show you how to store the statistics in a MySQL database, show the web stats in an HTML table and make figures based on the stats using the GD library.

Internet usage tracker SuperIntendent
comes to Mac OS X 06/17/2004 04:17 PM
Developer Vicomsoft has updated SuperInten dent, a module used as part of the company's InterGate solution, to Mac OS X. While InterGate allows businesses and schools to manage their network connections and Internet firewalls, the SuperIntendent module provides detailed reports of Internet usage. Network administrators can use the module to generate reports by user or IP address, by the types of Web sites visited, by the types of Internet protocols used, and by other criteria. They can drill down through any of the reports to obtain more granular data. InterGate pricing starts at US$99 for five users, with SuperIntendent starting at $349 as a companion module, and scales up from there. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2.6 or higher, a Mac with a G3 or better processor and 50MB hard drive space. A 30-day demo of InterGate is available for download from the Vicomsoft Web site, after you fill out a request form.

Cell phones test positive on AA flight: The days of not being able to use wireless devices from airplanes in flight may be coming to an end. Qualcomm is working on making CDMA-powered devices airliner-friendly.

Jacobs said San Diego-based Qualcomm would spend the next two years testing whether electronic signals interfered with the jet's avionics system. He also said the technology would be improved and the one-second delay would be shortened.

Eventually, air travelers should be able to make calls, download movies and do all sorts of other things with wireless devices aboard jetliners, he said.
