right. so that's the web as distribution platform gone? if you put your work online, then linking to them is surely part of the point. If it isn't, well, don't put it there or built the whole site in flash. :P
This is good. Sad it's taken so long to get to that realisation when it was kind of obvious back in 2004. Oh well.
well said
Brilliant! Wish more authors understood this...
very worrying trend. really. the copyright laws are flawed as they are already, to bypass due process even for those is very disturbing.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seizing sites directly from ICANN because of complaints filed against them; the agency is not doing so under the auspices of the Digital Millenium Coptyright Act (DMCA) or a more recently introduced, so-called “censorship” bill, the Combating Online Infringements and Counterfeits Act, or COICA, which was created specifically to address the issue of piracy.

The DHS is bypassing typical laws and procedures to quickly stamp out file-sharing and counterfeiting — perhaps in time to thwart knock-off holiday shopping, we could speculate. We might also speculate that the reason for the rush job has something to do with the impending passage of COICA, which would create a longer process for closing these sites.
lovely analogue with copyright and IP
one of the best expositions of the damage DRM causes
really interesting. it's become clear that there is such a thing as too much IPR. More copyright =! more innovation. original point of copyright was to stimulate innovation not protect authors/publishers business models....
gruesome stuff. Almost as gruesome as pr0n movie titles
A republic of letters and how copyright today is a far cry from what it was intented for...

When publishing instructions on how to make a lightning rod in Poor Richard’s Almanac, he also refrained from noting that he was the inventor. And he never sought a patent for it, because he had drawn on a common stock of knowledge and felt committed to “produce something for the common benefit.”
The same attitude lay behind Jefferson’s description of knowledge as “common property.” It pervaded the entire Enlightenment, when men discussed experiments and ideas in correspondence networks and a chain of academies that extended from St. Petersburg to Philadelphia. Above all, they communicated their thoughts through print. Letters, learned societies and the printed word came together in the creation of a Republic of Letters, an egalitarian world of knowledge open to everyone — at least in principle, although in practice it was restricted to a literate elite.
hm, another way of proping up the media industry model. I want a download, not streaming but that goes against the whole obsolete but powerful ownership and licensing model the media industry depends on. future's not looking bright. :(
