Why iiNet will probably lose the piracy lawsuit
,----[ Quote ]
| iiNet chief Michael Malone has said that iiNet can't just disconnect
| someone's phone line because the movie industry makes an allegation that a
| user is pirating.
|
| And, the ISP industry argues, it is protected by "safe harbour" provisions of
| the copyright act — ISPs are merely common carriers of traffic and the fight
| is between copyright holders and users.

How Google Plans to Take Over TV
,----[ Quote ]
| The service is clearly aimed at a different kind of television advertiser. In
| addition to a simplified user interface, TV Ads includes instructions on how
| to visit Google's marketplace and find someone who can help make an advert.
| Indeed, Desai says, the plan is to draw in advertisers who don't normally put
| ads on TV and, as a complement, bring ad dollars to networks that don't
| normally have broad recognition.

Network Civilization: Peer-to-Peer and the Rise of Green Capitalism
,----[ Quote ]
| Just as the three quarters of oil engineers now agree that Peak Oil is in
| sight within the next decade (after that, oil production can only decline),
| can we also posit that we may have reached a moment of Peak Hierarchy, a
| moment in history in which it is no longer large centralized organizations
| that are most efficient or productive, but rather those that are organized as
| distributed networks and can draw on peer producting communities?
