Followup on yesterday's editorial

Followup on yesterday's editorial 12/25/2003 11:32 AM

There's been a bunch of comment on my editorial yesterday, most of it missing the point, widely. Candidates have to earn my vote, and they won't if they say one thing and do another. They don't stand a chance competing with commercial software developers, yet that's exactly what two leading candidates are doing. Further, the software market in America is depressed, and I think that's partly caused by people expecting to get software for free.

A candidate who wanted to help software jobs come back to NH, a high-tech state, could do something right now to help. No need to wait till they're elected. And I don't agree with people who say the candidate's job is to get elected. Sure, that's probably the way the candidate views it. But I'm not a candidate, I'm a member of the electorate and a taxpayer. I've yet to vote in a presidential election that means something. I'd like to, someday. I honestly don't think this is the year, but I'm doing my part to shift the focus to the voters and away from 60-second TV commercials. What are you doing?

BTW, Dean is a very average candidate. His handlers ought to tell him to answer questions frankly. He got a question about the airplane they were using and tax dodges. He was asked if the story was true and he said No, and didn't comment further. He said some really nasty personal things about George Bush and John Kerry, kind of schoolyard stuff. Not something you'd expect from a Presidential candidate. That people are rallying around this guy gives you an idea how desperate we are for leadership. I think we can do better, much better.

Yesterday's Test Cases

Yesterday's Test Cases 03/31/2005 06:43 AM

Regarding yesterday's test cases, I got quite a few comments about the second scenario, where I propose that I become the author of Cory Doctorow's web-published novel, offer it for sale, and seek distribution.

The uniform response was that since Cory's book is offered under the Creative Commons attribution share-alike license, I am not "permitted" to change the author's name, or charge for the right to a copy. I put the word permitted in quotes, because the responders haven't explained why Cory's work is so-protected and my work, which is offered under a standard copyright, isn't.

In other words, the responders think there is a line. Aha! There are some things one is not allowed to do with another person's work. They said not only is it possible for Cory to opt-out of my creative rip-and-burn act of 21st Century artistry, but it actually requires Cory to opt-in! Well well well.

Does this perhaps ring a bell?

And since I haven't heard from Cory, I still wonder if it's okay with him that I republish his work for money and claim authorship of it, since I know he doesn't believe in opt-in or out. I believe his philosophy is "Tough shit."

Also, I haven't heard from the EFF about the proposal that they let me filter eff.org, replacing links, author's names, correct spelling, and edit their copy to be more in line with the philosophy of the entertainment industry.

Yesterday's transportation future

Yesterday's transportation future 07/28/2004 05:48 AM
Peter Davidson sez, "A wonderful Berkeley website/gallery featuring some of the fantastic oddities and plans of futurists from the first half of the 20th century about the far-off world of 1980! Included are plans for a helicopter in every garage, a Mag-Lev train between LA and NY that would only be economically feasible if every citizen of those cities used it to commute to the other each and every day, futuristic car designs that never came to pass, hovercraft buses, the shape of trains to come and so on."

Yesterday's Shocker Is Today's Must Read

Yesterday's Shocker Is Today's Must Read 09/10/2004 08:50 AM
The formerly outré, freaky and unthinkable now constitute business as usual in popular culture. And these have become outright selling points for books that eagerly capitalize on their kinks.

What yesterday's dumb sampling ruling
means

What yesterday's dumb sampling ruling
means 09/09/2004 01:04 PM
Cory Doctorow: Yesterday, a judge in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that all music sampling, no matter how minimal the sample, no matter how unrecognizably transformed, is illegal without permission from the sample-ee.

Lessig explains how the court got there and what it means:

Sampling, we're told, is piracy. But be certain to see the 19 footnotes in this relatively brief opinion, or the 28 separate quotes the opinion includes from other peoples work. I assume the court got a license for those.

Now that's not quite fair. The court's decision turns upon its "literal" reading of the sound recording statute. The sound recording statute has no de minimus exceptions, the court held. So while you are free to copy three notes from a musical composition, you can't copy the same three notes from a recording. So copying (so long as de minimus) is fine; cut & paste is not. It is a "bright-line" rule the Court has crafted: Ask permission first. (And don't worry, they might have added. It's simple.)

So once again: life in the analog world is freer than life in the digital world. You can do it, just don't use technology to do it — unless, of course, your lawyer has spoken to their lawyer.

An old general, cardboard bits,
yesterday's battle 04/26/2004 12:56 PM
90+ Vietnamese general Vo Nguyen Giap buys 100 copies of "Vallee De La Morte", a board game recreation of the battle of Dien Bien Phu There actually are 2 competing board game recreations of t he epic 1954 battle of Dien Bien Phu which was (by the French):

""....an attempt to interdict the enemy's rear area, to stop the flow of supplies and reinforcements, to establish a redoubt in the enemy's rear and disrupt his lines," says Douglas Johnson, research professor at the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. "The enemy could then be lured into a killing ground."....Hoping to draw Ho Chi Minh's guerrillas into a classic battle, the French began to build up their garrison at Dien Bien Phu..." General Giap - who led the Vietcong forces in that battle, prefers "Vallee De La Morte". Such games are played with large multicolored paper maps broken up into hexagonal grids, with cardboard pieces representing military units. The rules can be quite complex and some wargames ( such as Drang Nach Osten) have thousands of pieces and take thousands of hours to play (sometimes longer than the actual wars they simulate). More on wargaming.

Yesterday's news is tomorrow's
fish-and-chip paper 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
Dan Gillmor offers a plea to newspapers to open up their for-pay archives. He's got logic on his side but business inertia against it. Newspapers are used to getting revenue from their old content because third parties like Lexis/Nexis pay them for it and then charge whopping fees to their own customers to access the material. Those same papers are seeing classified ad revenue drain away to the Web; I just don't see their corporate leaders choosing to abandon this real revenue for the intangible possibility of long-term grown in keyword advertising on open Web archives.

Is this short-sighted? You bet. Is that Lexis/Nexis revenue going to vanish eventually anyway, as the open Web displaces it and reduces demand for the old for-pay stuff? You bet. Will the newspapers then lose out, long-term, as other institutions step into the vacuum on the Web and become the "publications of record"? You bet.

This is, I think, inevitable, given the pattern in American business that makes it nearly impossible for existing institutions to sacrifice this quarter's revenue for riskier, long-term goals. Newspapers as businesses are hugely conservative; they change slowly if at all. It seems almost certain to me that over the next 30-40 years local newspapers will vanish. We'll be left with two or three national institutions like the Times and the Journal -- they've got their own upscale market of people willing to pay for in-depth coverage, and they'll figure out a path to deliver it in whatever format their readers want. For local news and information, it will be cheaper, more efficient and more profitable to serve the public electronically.

The economic structure that supported local newspapers is going to migrate, is already beginning to migrate, online. And I don't think most newspapers are nimble enough to follow. New players will pick up that business -- and take on the mantle of providing local news. In the course of this change we'll gain some speed and variety and all the new possibilities of a many-to-many information world; we'll also lose some valuable traditions. Our recycling bins, at least, will thank us.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527) 11/13/2003 12:36 AM
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed. If successfully exploited, an attacker could then take the same actions as the user had permissions to carry out, such as adding, changing or deleting data or files, communicating with a web site or formatting the hard drive.
