Scalia, the U.S. Marshall and the
Constitution

Scalia, the U.S. Marshall and the
Constitution 04/12/2004 11:17 AM

Bob Herbert (NYT): A Justice's Sense of Privilege. When agents acting on behalf of a Supreme Court justice can just snatch and destroy information collected by reporters, we haven't just thumbed our nose at the Constitution, we've taken a very dangerous step in a very ugly direction. The depot at the end of that dark road is totalitarianism.

This case hasn't gotten enough attention. If the people who did this can get away with it, with no sanction of any kind, we truly are in trouble. It's not about the privileges of the press. It's about power corrupting the powerful -- and the damage that causes to everyone's rights.

epileptics 06/22/2004 10:33 AM
New research confirms the anaecdotal evidence of dogs accurately predicting epileptic seizures.

These dogs not only protect their charges from injuries, such as falling, but also seem to help kids deal with the daily struggle of epilepsy.

Nine of the 60 dogs in the study (15 per cent) were able to predict a seizure by licking, whimpering, or standing next to the child. These dogs were remarkably accurate - they predicted 80 per cent of seizures, with no false reports.

Who owns recordings of numbers stations?

Who owns recordings of numbers stations? 06/22/2004 10:33 AM
Interesting summary of a case where an indie label sued a major for copyright infringment, and where the indie is totally and utterly in the wrong.

Irdial is a tiny label that released a CD of intercepts from "numbers stations" -- the radio stations where a neutral voice recites mysterious numbers and codes, presumed to be part of the international espionage system.

WEA is the major label for Wilco, whose album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot samples the numbers stations recordings on Irdial's album.

Irdium sued WEA for copyright infringement -- in other words, they claimed that they owned the mysterious voices that float in the ether all around us at every hour of the day and night. They claimed that they, and not the spook who recited the words Yankee Hotel Foxtrot into his mic over and over again, were somehow the creators of the mysterious broadcast. Unfortunately, WEA settled instead of countersuing Irdium into a smoking heap of slag for proffering this notion that absolutely offends reason.

Joe Graz has some analysis on his blog:

They claim, first, that their recording is unique because of the radio interference that surrounds it, and that this interference gives them a copyright in the recording. Second, they edited the recording to make it more interesting. Third, they processed the recording to make it clearer . Each of these, they say, gives them exclusive rights in their recording.

I don't know UK copyright law very well, so I don't know whether this claim has more merit there. But under American law, Irdial probably would have lost had the case gone to trial. First, simply recording a radio broadcast does not give a person rights in the recording. A recording of a preexisting transmission does not have the requisite originality for copyrightability. Second, Irdial's editing may have been sufficient "selection and arrangement" to give rise to a copyright in the whole track, preventing wholesale verbatim copying. But from the description they give, there were no edits within the "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" sample; the sample Wilco used was an unedited slice of Irdial's source material, and thus Irdial's edits cannot have given rise to copyright in the sample. Finally, the equalization and processing. Irdial admits that the EQ was "to remove noise" – not for any creative purpose.

Science Types Embed Anti-Seizure Device
In Skulls 08/20/2004 10:57 AM

Researchers at MCG Medical Center (First Hollywood, then Science!? That man is amazing!) are testing a new implantable device that is designed to stop seizures in patients whose fits - can you say fits? - are not otherwise well controlled by drugs. By pre-recording a patient's seizures, they establish a pattern that can be used to detect future seizures. Then they - and this is where it gets good - create a "form-fitting defect in the skull for the device ... and use tiny screws to hold it securely in place." Yes!

If the device recognizes an oncoming seizure it sends an electrical stimulus to stop it - unnoticed by patients.

Because even a single seizure every few months still prevents patients from safely doing everyday things like driving and cocaine, doctors have as their goal the complete and total prevention of all seizures. We'll find out how well they've done in two years, when the study is complete.

HOWTO Make high-quality recordings from

Cory Doctorow: Phillip Torrone's article on Hack-a-Day explains how to trick out your iPod to get it to record audio really well, bypassing the crippling restrictions imposed by Apple:

apple cripples recording on an ipod so belkin and griffin then have to sell us add-on devices for over $50 that can only record at 8khz, which is all pretty shitty. apparently (the rumor is) apple does this so people don’t use their ipods to record stuff they think we shouldn’t, like concerts, whatever.

but don’t worry, there’s a way around it and you can record at high quality, all for free.
