Why Is The AP Invoking The DMCA Over The Obama Poster?
,----[ Quote ]
| it's claiming that his post violates the DMCA. That should leave you
| scratching your head, considering that the DMCA seems almost entirely
| unrelated to Fairey making a poster. But the AP seems to be claiming that in
| removing the little copyright notice beneath its photo, Fairey violated
| section 1202.

Mark Cuban Declares War On Free TV Online... But Misses Out On The Economics
,----[ Quote ]
| Plenty of newspapers did try to charge and almost all of them failed. People
| were never that interested in paying for news online, and plenty of new
| sources of news were popping up for free online anyway. Charging was a
| dead-end model from the beginning -- and to understand why, all you need to
| do is understand a little basic economics concerning the difference between
| infinite and scarce goods.

Open Letter re. Proposed Copyright Term Extension for Sound Recordings
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite this well-nigh universal opposition from IP experts the Commission
| put forward a proposal last July to extend term from 50 to 95 years
| (retrospectively as well as prospectively). That proposal is now in the final
| stages of its consideration by the European Parliament and Council. We can
| only hope that they will understand the basic point that an extension of the
| form proposed must inevitably to more harm than good to the welfare of the EU
| and should therefore be opposed.
