Canada Post Plays Grinch in Takedown Fight
,----[ Quote ]
| Late last year, Canada Post and the Public Service Alliance of Canada became
| embroiled in a heated strike action over sick pay benefits. In the midst of
| the dispute, several PSAC members took direct aim at Canada Post CEO Moya
| Greene, recording a short parody video titled "The Greench." The video, which
| was posted on YouTube, adapted the well-known Dr. Seuss tune "You’re a Mean
| One, Mr. Grinch" to criticize Greene and the company. While the creation of a
| protest video is not particularly noteworthy, what followed soon after is.
| Just as the video began to attract some attention, YouTube removed it after
| receiving a complaint from Canada Post alleging that the video violated the
| company’s copyright.

A glimmer of hope from whitehouse.gov
,----[ Quote ]
| Politicians in general are not terribly tech-savvy, let alone conscious of
| the most important intellectual freedom issues, but President Barack Obama
| does have a reputation of being more aware than most of the new media and new
| possibilities of the internet. The new US presidential website shows some
| promise that indeed, we now have a US president who isn’t afraid of the
| future.

Expert: White House Negligent on E-Mail
,----[ Quote ]
| The White House e-mail troubles began in 2002 with a decision to upgrade
| electronic message capabilities and move from Lotus Notes to Microsoft
| Exchange.
|
| Prior to launching Microsoft Exchange for e-mail, there should have been
| full-scale testing of an archiving system, e-mail experts said. In addition,
| both the existing archiving system and a new one should have run at the same
| time until the new system was fully proven.
