AP Scans Sarah Palin Book Without Permission; Look Out Google Book Search
,----[ Quote ]
| Google, accused by some as being a book
| thief, now has company â the Associated
| Press. The AP patted itself on the back in
| an internal memo that detailed how it
| scanned a copy of Sarah Palinâs book
| without permission, to make it searchable.

Murdoch's The Times Accused Of Blatant Copying, Just As It Tells The World You Should Pay For News
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, just as Rupert Murdoch is calling
| aggregators (sites that simply summarize
| and link to stories) parasites (even as he
| owns a bunch of aggregators himself), one
| of his papers didn't aggregate, it flat out
| copied, without permission, a blog post
| that was written by Edgar Wright as a
| tribute to Edward Woodward, who recently
| passed away.

Revenue reality of a bestseller
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in April when I posted and discussed
| the royalty statement for Twilight Fall, my
| top twenty New York Times mass market
| bestseller, I promised I would post the
| next royalty statement that came in for the
| book. That arrived this week, so today I'd
| like to take a look at that and share some
| thoughts on how the book performed in the
| eleven months since the initial release.
|
| First, the actual statement, which you can | view here.
|
| If I published only one book a year, and
| it did as well as this one, my net would
| be only around $2500.00 over the income
| level considered to be the US poverty
| threshhold.

Google Blocking Set Top Boxes From Showing YouTube Unless They Pay Up?
,----[ Quote ]
| Update: Received a confused and angry email
| from YouTube PR linking us to the very Wired
| article we linked to and demanding we add
| their PR statement (which is already in the
| Wired article). However, it does not actually
| answer the questions raised or change the
| point of this post. The fact that YouTube
| restricts set tops from accessing the content
| still does not make sense.
