"Why Office of Management & Budget? No good reason. The position doesn't fit there at all... but putting it there keeps it away from those darn "copyleftists" in Office of Science and Technology Policy. So where did the position end up? Yup... it's a part of Office of Management & Budget, just like Hollywood wanted."

"Fakers2Go are monitoring and collating information on Ghanaians who advertise on gay dating sites. We are a loose group of people based around the world. We welcome information from anyone, particularly Ghanaians who have been scammed. In Ghana, On-line criminals are targeting men who have sex with men (MSMs). They aim to extort money through kidnapping, violence and use of Ghana's archaic colonial law. As homosexuality is illegal in Ghana, MSM's have no protection under the law and reporting a crime can lead to the victim being criminalised. Furthermore, the police often work with the criminals to extort money and therefore cannot be trusted. "

"Unless Psystar employees are walking into Apple office buildings or Apple Stores to actually take Apple-owned items without permission, Psystar isn't stealing. The truth is, of course, that Psystar is buying fully legal copies of Mac OS X from Apple retailers or even directly from Apple itself, and reselling those copies. I've lost count how many times I've resold legally purchased copies of software. Heck, I even resold legally purchased retail copies of Mac OS X several times. If that's considered stealing, then I - and a lot of you, too - belong in jail. "

"Although based on a different technology than the existing GPL-licensed PyQt bindings, PySide will initially be 100% API-compatible with them. In addition to the PyQt-compatible API, a more Pythonic API will be provided in the future. While the PySide project has been initiated and the first set of code provided by Nokia, PySide will be run as a true open source project. Nokia will provide multiple developers working on the project, but contributions will be encouraged and the contributors need not transfer their copyright or accept a code reuse license; merely providing code under the LGPLv2.1 license will be sufficient."

"Once the Swedish Pirate Party had announced its platform, free software developers noticed this effect and began proposing a special rule for free software: to make copyright last longer for free software, so that it can continue to be copylefted. This explicit exception for free software would counterbalance the effective exception for proprietary software. Even ten years ought to be enough, I think. However, the proposal met with resistance from the Pirate Party's leaders, who objected to the idea of a longer copyright for a special case."

"Instead of continuing to send cash, it might be a better idea for the EU to send judges and prosecutors who can assist in strengthening the rule of law and an independent judiciary. The EU may also consider setting up an independent body to investigate allegations of corruption and look into how some politicians have come to their unexplained fortunes."

"So we’ve progressed now from having just a Registry key entry, to having an executable, to having a randomly-named executable, to having an executable which is shuffled around a little bit on each machine, to one that’s encrypted– really more just obfuscated– to an executable that doesn’t even run as an executable. It runs merely as a series of threads. Now, those threads can communicate with one another, they would check to make sure that the BHO was there and up, and that the whatever other software we had was also up."

The Executive Summary and the Report, Toward a New Era of Intellectual Property: from Confrontation to Negotiation, set out the findings and recommendations of the International Expert Group on Biotechnology, Innovation and Intellectual Property to assist policy-makers, industry, universities, researchers and NGOs in managing the transition from Old IP, under which companies and governments mistakenly believed that holding on to more and greater patents was the key to success, to New IP, in which actors recognise the importance of collaboration and sharing.

I put this article from Law.com's Legal Technology page, "Commentary: The Penguin Doesn't Fly, Avoid Linux" in News Picks because I found it hilarious, in the Rob Enderle kind of way. But then I thought I'd look up the author on Google, and lo and behold, I find he said something that appears to be not exactly true. I'm not talking about the FUD stuff. I'm talking about his assertion that he couldn't get any answers to a request for help from Mandriva Forum

Tako bi, prema IDC Studiji o gospodarskim učincima softverskog piratstva, smanjenjem stope softverskog piratstva za samo 10% Hrvatska do 2009. otvorila više od tisuću novih radnih mjesta u IT sektoru, te bi se nacionalnom gospodarstvu donijelo dodatnih 247 milijuna američkih dolara. Osim toga, prihodi nacionalne industrije povećali bi se za više od 150 milijuna američkih dolara, te bi se ostvarilo dodatnih 63 milijuna USD poreznih prihoda. Općenito, utjecaj intelektualnog vlasništva na gospodarstvo iznimno je velik, što potvrđuje Studija o ekonomskom doprinosu djelatnosti temeljenih na autorskom pravu u gospodarstvu Hrvatske koju je lani objavio Državni zavod za intelektualno vlasništvo, a iz koje je vidljivo da industrije koje svoje poslovanje temelje na autorskim pravima ostvaruju veći prihod u iznosu od 4,42% BDP-a od svih hotela i restorana koji ostvaruju 3,61 posto BDP-a.

the reality of Twitter is that they refuse to warn and/or ban people who use their service to “abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other Twitter users” (to quote their forth line item on their TOS page). What does this mean? In short, anyone can use Twitter to consistently harass you and ruin search results for your identity and Twitter won’t execute any means of community management. In June 2007, I unfortunately found myself on the receiving end of multiple accounts of harassment from a user on Twitter.

This pretty clearly shields them from liability for removing posts and users who tweet offensive or harassing messages. Moreover, their own TOS says: "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time." Thus, legally, they are pretty much entitled to kill any account they want for any reason and there's not much legally anyone can do about it."
