Layers
Tried to start reading « The Layers Principle: Internet Architecture and the Law » by Pr. Solum after reading about it yesterday.
Comments by Derek Slater here and a follow-up here.
I’m still trying to start reading though. The basic idea of transparent flow between the layers and targeting regulation at the problematic layer is interesting. Too bad there is no human layer in the OSI model.
Think big stie !
You download a copyright protected file ? Zap … your computer is dead … at least that is what the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee wants.
» « I’m interested, » Hatch interrupted. He said damaging someone’s computer « may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights. »
From here, you have to know that law enforcement agency cannot take such actions under the laws of the USA… so the only solution is to let the copyright owner do such dirty work and to exempt them from all anti-hacking legislation currently on the book.
I don’t know about you, but would you even propose to destroy the car of someone suspected … not even convicted… of drunk driving. Maybe some police officer would realise their fantasy.
And let’s not start talking about due process of law and letting private groups enforce public legislation.

Samedi
Vu mes premiers Segway ce soir, sur St-Laurent. Les deux pauvres gars, un peu perdus on dirait, se faisaient bien écoeurer par les passant un peu éméchés… J’imagine que c’est une gracieuseté du Grand-Prix.
Entendu un show à l’Alizée où le chanteur incitait la foule à downloader sa musique tant qu’on pouvait, pour aider la relève à se faire connaître, et celle des artistes « avec des contrats de disque » aussi, pour les écoeurer. Pas trop suivi la deuxième partie de sa logique: et s’il se fait connaître et a un contrat de disque après? Mais le show était bon.
Copyright Conundrum
Is downloading copyrighted music tantamount to stealing? Lawrence Lessig, an expert on Internet law from Stanford University’s Law School, and Matt Oppenheim, senior vice president of business and legal affairs for the Recording Industry Association of America, answer your questions about this heated debate.

Unbrand america
In the end, the Resistance was known for one thing – they simply would not participate. Not in the 24-hour economy, the 60-hour work week, the flag-waving parades, the media manias, the permanent fear, the cheers for the troops. And then there was their mark, of course. It crept into daily life, until it became a constant reminder that these really were bleak times. Until one day you no longer knew who was in control – the empire that was everywhere – or this invisible revolution.
Unbrand America flash manifesto
Apparently an Adbuster subsidiary. Large agenda too… I think I’ll wait for a cause that’s a bit more tightly focused, although I do appreciate the « let’s change the underlying mentality » approach to problem solving. I’m more a pro something than an anti everything person though.
Terre Neuve
J’ai été choqué d’apprendre ce week-end qu’il n’y avait pas de serpents, de porc-épics, de marmottes, ni de mouffettes à Terre-Neuve. Et ils appellent ça une province?! (apparemment ils compensent avec plein d’orignaux et de caribous)
Le paradis me direz vous peut-être? Notez qu’il n’y a pas de chevreuils ni de ratons-laveurs non plus. J’ai au moins fait l’éducation de ma newfie préférée sur ces deux derniers points ce week-end.
Pourquoi? Explication rationnelle ici.
