Suw Charman has a great article on The Free Culture AudioBook Project that touches on all the reasons why an author would use a Creative Commons license, and what can come out of such an exercise. The issues around business models in publishing are also covered.

Cory Doctorow: Pablos sez, "This I Love Bees thing seems to be getting out of hand. It is some kind of massive alternate reality game that may be related to Halo 2. The site has been counting down to August 24th and now it looks like it is heading into meatspace. Now there are all these GPS coordinates where people are planning to go to all over the U.S. on Tuesday. There's all kinds of speculation about it on these forums and in #beekeepers on irc.chat-solutions.org. Anyway, the gargantuan scale of this thing makes me want to check it out if only for the bizarre flashmob appeal." (Thanks, Pablos!)

[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

Copyfight has an interesting post on the discrepancy in congress over ClearPlay DVD players. The players automatically remove scenes that would be offensive to sensitive viewers, but do so in the comfort of one's own home while playing standard movies on DVD. Some politicians oppose it because individuals are creating derivative works and they also see it as opening the door to "recipe hacking", which would be like producing the Grey Album by purchasing two legal records (the original Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album) and combining them at home to produce a derivative work (if DJ Dangermouse produced software that could create his mixes).

On top of all that, since the motivation behind ClearPlay technology is largely religious, it turns the argument on its ear to many participants and observers. It's not hard to find folks that loved the Grey Album but see ClearPlay technology as something to be frowned upon, but the underlying technology and law is largely the same. It's an interesting case and hopefully does open the doors to all sorts of creative uses of derivative works.

Rave-MP ARC and AMP MP3 Players

Rave-MP ARC and AMP MP3 Players 08/02/2004 02:08 PM

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/images/govideo_ravemp.jpg" alt="govideo_ravemp.jpg image" width="116" height="200" border="0" align="right" vspace="5" hspace="15"/>Rave-MP is reentering the MP3 player market with at least two new units, the Rave-MP ARC [pictured] and the Rave-MP AMP, the former a hard disk-based player available in 2.5GB and 5GB versions, with the latter a less-interesting but still decent flash-based player. I had a chance to sit down with some of the folks from Rave-MP the other night and play around with both units, and they seem nice enough as far as that goes -- and the price is right, at $229 for the 5GB version -- but I can't really get past the fact that the ARC looks sort of lifeless. It looks a little better in person, but not by much.

Still, I think Go Video has some commitment to getting back into the game, so it will be interesting to see where they go from here. If they could release an ARC 2 with the same specs and a more stylish form factor, I think they'd take a nice bite of the market (especially if retails drop the price a little. $230 is a little too close to the iPod mini's $250.)

TopStyle 3.12 in the Works

TopStyle 3.12 in the Works 03/14/2005 06:24 PM

I hadn't planned to release a new version of TopStyle so soon after coming out with versi on 3.11, but I've decided that one is necessary to resolve a few remaining bugs (including this one).

It will be a few weeks before I'm ready to post a beta of TopStyle 3.12, so it's too early for me to state exactly what will be in the new version. But among the other issues I'll address is the oft-reported problem of Mozilla "swallowing" the focus away from TopStyle's editor (describe d here). Although this bug is actually in Mozilla rather than in TopStyle itself, I'm assuming that it will never be corrected in Mozilla (after all, the Bugzilla report of this problem has existed for almost two years), so I'm going to code a workaro und in TopStyle.

The beta will be available only to existing TopStyle customers, and will be announced here when it's ready.
