Voting machine expert criticizes "clueless" industry report
,----[ Quote ]
| The Election Technology Council (ETC), a trade group comprised of the most
| prominent electronic voting machine vendors, has published a paper that
| argues against mandating source disclosure for electronic voting machine
| systems. The paper (PDF), which broadly conflates source disclosure and open
| source software licensing, dubiously contends that enabling public scrutiny
| of voting technology would lead to compromised security.

Is Anything In Shepard Fairey's Image Actually Copyrightable By The AP?
,----[ Quote ]
| of copyright infringement over his iconic Barack Obama poster (Fairey
| initiated the actual lawsuit, asking for a declaratory judgment that his
| image did not infringe, but that was after the AP publicly stated they were
| going to go after him for infringement), many are looking over the legal
| issues, and examining whether or not Fairey's use is fair use. In our initial
| post on the subject, it seemed pretty obvious that it was fair use, in large
| part because the AP didn't even realize it was an AP photo until someone else
| pointed it out -- suggesting that it was a transformative work, which
| represents a big part of the "test" for fair use.
