upcoming conference at Stanford

upcoming conference at Stanford 04/06/2005 12:37 AM
The Stanford Center for Internet and Society is hosting a conference on April 30, reviewing the cyberlaw day in the Supreme Court. Sign up here. Here's their announcement.

On March 29, 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases that together will greatly determine how government can and will regulate the Internet in the future, and the impact that the public interest will have on the development of cyberlaw over the next decade. In MGM v. Grokster, the Court will decide whether copyright holders can veto consumer electronics and computing innovations that upset the content industries' prevailing business models, even where the technology's non-infringing uses provide substantial benefits to consumers. The question is whether consumer demand for new and better products will drive technological development, or copyright owners' demand for control will retard it. In Brand X v. FCC, the Court will decide whether the FCC should retain the option to regulate cable modem services to promote open access to broadband lines, universal service and network neutrality, as it did in the early days of the Internet when most people connected over common-carrier telephone lines. The question is whether tomorrow's communications services will be defined by citizen choices or by the business interests of a handful of cable broadband companies. At Cyberlaw in the Supreme Court, the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society will convene a discussion of these cases, their broader implications, and what effect the pending Supreme Court decisions could have on the public interest. Panels of attorneys litigating and arguing these cases, the parties affected by them, the policy advocates whose work will begin once the Judges rule, and the people thinking about what the legal landscape will look like for the next ten years will discuss both cases and the impact the decisions will have on the future.

Upcoming conference on Fair Use

Upcoming conference on Fair Use 06/15/2004 01:12 PM

The New York Times has a great story about the painful process a college professor went through to clear the rights for a short, informative video to be given to incoming students:

"It's crazy," Professor Turow said of the labyrinth of permissions, waivers and fees he navigated to get the roughly three minutes of video clips included on the CD, which was paid for by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The process took months, Professor Turow said, and cost about $17,000 in fees and royalties paid to the various studios and guilds for the use of clips. The film used ranged from, for example, a 1961 episode of "Ben Casey" to a more-recent scene from "ER."

As a result of the project, this Friday the Annenberg School for Communication at University of Pennsylvania will be holding a conference called Knowledge Held Hostage that will explore issues of Fair Use in education. The full program features Creative Commons co-founder and board member Hal Abelson. [via furdlog]

and Privacy Conference in Berkeley 04/24/2004 03:37 AM
I spent the last 3 days at the 2004 Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference in Berkeley, and enjoyed it a lot. One of the highlights of the conference was getting to see in person so many people I admire, like Phil Zimmerman and John Gilmore, but whom I only know through reading about them. I also got to meet many of the people behind the group emails that I get as a member/subscriber of various organizations, such as the CDT, EPIC, EFF, and the ACLU, alerting me to issues and asking me for money or to take action. I took a fair number of photos at the conference and posted them tonight at 2004 Computers, Freedom and Privacy Conference. Hopefully over the weekend I'll get a chance to write up my impressions of the conference....

Scholarship, teaching, new media, and
copyright conference 06/17/2004 11:28 AM

The Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania is holding a conference this weekend on the growing copyright problems facing scholars using digital media. "Knowledge Held Hostage: Scholarly Versus Corporate Rights in the Digital Age" examines the overlap of creative use of technology with (often inadvertent) copyright infringement.

Questions to be addressed include the following:

What justifies fair use in a scholarly context?

Is there a viable alternative to fair use in the academic environment?
What are the fair use issues and needs raised by different scholarly media (for example, print, film, digital media, databases)?

Do different kinds of institutional arrangements (large vs. small school vs. professional society, classroom vs. library) raise different fair use issues and needs?

The event is also sponsored by Rice University 's Connexions project .

How Berkeley Can You Be?

How Berkeley Can You Be? 10/29/2003 01:16 AM
I finally got around to sorting through and captioning the photos I took of the How Berkeley Can You Be? parade and Art Car fest that was held in Berkeley at the end of September. Going through the pictures reminded me of some of the reasons I like living in Berkeley so much. Sure, people regularly overdo political correctness here, and there were a lot of "Only in Berkeley" groups and moments in the parade, but on the whole it was an amazing display of the diversity, creativity and sense of humor that make this a fun place to live. There were also a lot of self-mocking groups poking fun at Berkley. I love it when people retain the ability to laugh at themselves, and it is a highly desirable quality for living in Berkeley. Luckily, it is also a frequently displayed quality. One of the stars of the parade was the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir, an art car from Houston Texas, of all places. 5 miles of wiring that must have taken months of work to put together, all for a bunch of plastic fish and lobsters who sing while being conducted by large crustacean. It sounds silly, but it was wonderful. I could track its progress down University Avenue by the gales of laughter is spawned as it passed by. After the parade, people crowded around for hours and were treated to special performances by the Choir. I got some good photos. If it comes to your town, don't miss it. Or it even has its own website, with a very funny account of its construction, you can check it out at www.sashimitabernaclechoir.org....

"The Auditor", an amazing dog, lived a long life in one of the harshest environments, the Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana. The mine site has no vegetation, the water in the pit is full of heavy metals and very acidic (pH 2.5) and yet the Auditor held on long after mining operations halted. He has inspired a web site and even an art project.
