Getting ultraviolent about UltraViolet™

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:30:20 +0000

But back to my user journey. After the 404 error I took control of the user experience myself. I Googled “Doctor Who S07E01 torrent”, and I very much doubt I’ll ever attempt to use UltraViolet™ again.

Aaron Swartz Was Right - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Thu, 28 Feb 2013 01:15:15 +0000

Until academics get their acts together and start using new modes of publication, we need to recognize that actions like Aaron Swartz's civil disobedience are legitimate. They are attempts to liberate knowledge that rightly belongs to all of us but that has been acquired by academic publishers through tens of thousands of contracts of adhesion and then bottled up and released for exorbitant fees in what functionally amounts to an extortion racket.

The Pirate Bay Is The World’s Most Efficient Public Library - Falkvinge on Infopolicy

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:50:40 +0000

It begs the question why every author, filmmaker, and musician isn’t up in arms about the New York Public Library’s rampant sharing, while there’s a ton of opposition to the sharing habits of BitTorrent peers who use The Pirate Bay. After all, The Pirate Bay’s community shares significantly less than the New York Public Library: just 1 million items in 2008 (and the collection certainly hasn’t grown 5000% since then). The reason that The Pirate Bay is offensive, and the New York Public Library is not, is because of its efficiency.

I Don’t Want To Be Part of Your Fucking Ecosystem by Terence Eden has a Blog

Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:49:40 +0000

I just want us all to get along. I want my disparate equipment to talk to each other. I don't want to live in a house where ever component has to be made by the same company otherwise nothing works correctly. I don't want to be stuck using a crappy product because they're the only ones offering service X.

Marty Kaplan: GOP Smart on Copyright for 24 Hours

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:38:48 +0000

It is delicious to watch a young conservative apply conservative principles to demolish oligopolistic claptrap, even if those industries finance the campaigns of the members of Congress who pay his salary. It is sad to watch his bosses -- who never tire of railing against political correctness - place fealty to corporate elites above the spirit of intellectual inquiry.

An Open Letter to Jay Leno About Stealing My Video and Then Getting It Removed From YouTube | Splitsider

First off, my intention is not to fight you on this. You have more cars than I have dollars, and so I know I don’t stand a chance legally, and on top of that, I don’t really understand how legal stuff works. But the truth is you kind of fucked up my shit and I need to talk to you about it.

RIAA claims Limewire owes it $72 trillion—that's "trillion" with a "T" | Music | Newswire | The A.V. Club

Wed, 23 May 2012 20:03:18 +0000

According to documents recently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the RIAA was asking for damages of about $72 trillion dollars, a figure that the judge in the case said is "absurd." Judge Kimba Wood wrote in a recent decision that, "An award based on the RIAA calculations would amount to 'more money than the entire music industry has made since Edison's invention of the phonograph in 1877.'"
