twitter | I've decided that copyright should be abolished. | Dec 08 01:29 |
schestowitz | For everything? | Dec 08 01:30 |
twitter | everything | Dec 08 01:30 |
twitter | I've used copyleft software for the better part of a decade. | Dec 08 01:30 |
twitter | Wikipedia and other free information sources now take care of everything I need. | Dec 08 01:30 |
twitter | I don't see a real use for copyright anymore. | Dec 08 01:31 |
twitter | People want to share and they will. | Dec 08 01:31 |
twitter | Copyright only makes barriers to that sharing. | Dec 08 01:32 |
twitter | If it were not for those barriers, P2P would create the world's best public library at next to no cost to society. | Dec 08 01:33 |
twitter | Every piece of information and entertainment would be available for everyone. | Dec 08 01:33 |
twitter | This is too great a prize to sacrifice for the very few people who will be discouraged from creating works. | Dec 08 01:35 |
twitter | The only thing that gives me pause is news, but even there people will find a way to produce things, like The Guardian does. | Dec 08 01:36 |
schestowitz | What about books that people want to stay unique? | Dec 08 01:38 |
schestowitz | Copyright will probably topple itself anyway. | Dec 08 01:39 |
twitter | I don't understand what you mean by a book that stays unique. | Dec 08 01:39 |
schestowitz | People prefer PDFs/ODFs they can download quickly. Some people still love the smell of books and few will go through a debit card page. | Dec 08 01:39 |
schestowitz | COpyright is seen as needed by the unwashed messes, so to speak | Dec 08 01:40 |
schestowitz | People are taught not to share | Dec 08 01:40 |
twitter | brainwash | Dec 08 01:40 |
schestowitz | They are told that they will make money this way | Dec 08 01:40 |
twitter | people share all the time. | Dec 08 01:40 |
schestowitz | No, I didn't mean brainwash in this case | Dec 08 01:40 |
schestowitz | But there's no scarcity anymore | Dec 08 01:41 |
twitter | people need to be shown that prize | Dec 08 01:41 |
schestowitz | No share, no business. | Dec 08 01:41 |
twitter | who's business? | Dec 08 01:41 |
schestowitz | Proprietary software companies learn this the hard way now. | Dec 08 01:41 |
twitter | they are the worst offenders | Dec 08 01:41 |
schestowitz | People would rather download Drupal in 5 minutes than buy a licence from some blob and be locked in to one vendor | Dec 08 01:41 |
twitter | everyone would rather have everything | Dec 08 01:42 |
twitter | Napster proved it. | Dec 08 01:42 |
twitter | and the music industry flourished while Napster was alive | Dec 08 01:43 |
twitter | Other things, like scientific journals, should be easier to come by than Prince songs. | Dec 08 01:43 |
schestowitz | They are funded by tax | Dec 08 01:46 |
schestowitz | This is an absurdity | Dec 08 01:46 |
schestowitz | Those who fund the research have no access to the outcome | Dec 08 01:46 |
schestowitz | The Land of "Nothing for free" < http://samba.org/samba/news/artic... > | Dec 08 01:48 |
schestowitz | Push for open access to research < http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/techno... > | Dec 08 01:48 |
twitter | A few things will have to be forbidden still, but they are not so much a matter of copyright as matter of privacy. | Dec 08 01:48 |
twitter | For instance, it would be wrong for people to claim you endorse something you don't. Your works should not be used for the advertising if you don't want because it's fraud. | Dec 08 01:49 |
twitter | Your image, is much the same, but that's more privacy. | Dec 08 01:49 |
twitter | bbl, babies and the wife are crying. | Dec 08 01:50 |
twitter | ooooohhhhhh, no peace. | Dec 08 01:54 |
schestowitz | What's wrong? | Dec 08 01:55 |
twitter | just screaming babies. | Dec 08 01:55 |
schestowitz | It sounds like you have more important duties there. | Dec 08 01:55 |
twitter | things were taken care of as best as they could be :) | Dec 08 01:56 |
schestowitz | Why is the wife crying? | Dec 08 02:02 |
twitter | The wife was not really crying, just frustrated. | Dec 08 02:03 |
schestowitz | Oh, *that* kind of crying. | Dec 08 02:03 |
twitter | all is calm now. | Dec 08 02:03 |
schestowitz | For "Crying out loud" | Dec 08 02:03 |
twitter | We'll do the other kind if I don't find good work in the next month or two. | Dec 08 02:04 |
twitter | from "low point" " "These guys say they're going to cure cancer, what are you going to do for us ?" is the request that anti-software patent lobbyists have to learn to counter" | Dec 08 02:04 |
twitter | They are not curing cancer, they are inhibiting knowledge which puts harms treatment today and puts cures off further. | Dec 08 02:05 |
schestowitz | Yes, for self gain. | Dec 08 02:06 |
twitter | He's talking about patents, which I still have some grudging, theoretical respect for. | Dec 08 02:06 |
twitter | Not business method or software patents though, those make me see red. | Dec 08 02:06 |
twitter | Others have seen red over more legitimate patents and shown they are harming medicine and healthcare. | Dec 08 02:07 |
schestowitz | Research funds can come from tax | Dec 08 02:09 |
schestowitz | Then, knowledge can be pushed into a pool. | Dec 08 02:09 |
schestowitz | When professors make inventions while on tax money, the patents are assigned to the academic institute, AFAIK. | Dec 08 02:09 |
schestowitz | Maybe it's partial ownership | Dec 08 02:09 |
schestowitz | Industrial knowledge should work in the same way | Dec 08 02:09 |
twitter | It depends on the institution. | Dec 08 02:09 |
schestowitz | BillG and Co are snapping university patents to troll with right now (extortion) | Dec 08 02:10 |
schestowitz | In India for example. | Dec 08 02:10 |
twitter | Rogallo had his nifty wing ideas when working at NASA, he assigned them public domain because he wanted to but NASA considered the ideas his. | Dec 08 02:11 |
twitter | IV is going everywhere, bribing a few big U to screw the rest. Very evil. | Dec 08 02:11 |
schestowitz | They should be arrested | Dec 08 02:12 |
twitter | Stallman is right to worry about patents being used to defeat freely available knowledge. | Dec 08 02:12 |
schestowitz | Not in land of the fee though. | Dec 08 02:12 |
schestowitz | It loves corrupt people that loot other nations. | Dec 08 02:13 |
twitter | Yeah but BillG's loot of China is not going very well. People in Washington might realize they've been taken for a ride. | Dec 08 02:15 |
schestowitz | Mr. Bean makes a move: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/12/07/embra... | Dec 08 02:20 |
schestowitz | I was just about to write about Microsoft's latest WA corruption. | Dec 08 02:20 |

schestowitz | But I'm getting tired. | Dec 08 02:21 |

schestowitz | Hey | Dec 08 09:16 |
kapipi | morning | Dec 08 09:24 |
schestowitz | What's new today? | Dec 08 09:27 |
kentma | dunno... I was reflecting on the German Gov electing ODF... that's a massive step. | Dec 08 09:44 |
schestowitz | They join many more. | Dec 08 09:45 |
schestowitz | OOXML was called "death format walking". They have nothing but marketing going. | Dec 08 09:45 |
kentma | yes, but German Gov is 4th or 5th largest economy in the world, UK is just behind... this is a *huge* decision... | Dec 08 09:48 |
kentma | oh - and the announcement of ARM and Ubuntu collaborating for a desktop computer is the first sign of the "death of the IBM PC"... killed by the mobility world. | Dec 08 09:49 |
kentma | It'll be a huge blow for AMD and Intel. | Dec 08 09:49 |
kentma | Very interesting news is that eBay have finally realised that skype is worthless, so they're going to float it (ie., stop funding it). | Dec 08 09:50 |
kentma | calls from skype to PSTN are very expensive anyway - it's cheaper to use your land line. | Dec 08 09:50 |
schestowitz | How much will ARM devices cost? | Dec 08 09:52 |
schestowitz | Weirdly, I think Maplin already has them. | Dec 08 09:52 |
kentma | They're not all that expensive now - otherwise they wouldn't be in all those phones... | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | and satnavs | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | and pdas | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | the netbook is the clear next step. | Dec 08 09:53 |
schestowitz | re: Skype, you must be biased | Dec 08 09:53 |
schestowitz | The Telcos would love to see Skype going away | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | eh? no, it's just the costs. skype off-net is extremely expensive. | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | Just look at the numbers. | Dec 08 09:53 |
schestowitz | But people will always find some voice P2P service... it's inevitable. | Dec 08 09:53 |
kentma | Of course, but there's no money in it... | Dec 08 09:54 |
schestowitz | People are connected a lot of the time. | Dec 08 09:54 |
schestowitz | So landlines can become irrelevant. | Dec 08 09:55 |
kentma | how will people connect without a landline? they can connect wirelessly, of course, but how do you know where they are? | Dec 08 09:55 |
kentma | Mobile networks use the imsei number to track people. | Dec 08 09:55 |
schestowitz | Yes, I know. | Dec 08 09:57 |
schestowitz | That's one of the reasons I don't use them. | Dec 08 09:57 |
schestowitz | The main ones being other considerations. | Dec 08 09:57 |
kentma | okay, but the infrastructure cost of being able to track people is very high indeed, and if you don't do it, people cannot be contacted. | Dec 08 09:58 |
schestowitz | For authorities, there's lots to like about cellphones. | Dec 08 09:58 |
kentma | imagine a position where everyone can only make outbound calls - the whole thing breaks down at that point. | Dec 08 09:58 |
schestowitz | Human kind survived for hundreds of thousands of years without being contacted remotely. | Dec 08 09:58 |
kentma | yeah, legal intercept laws are so thorough, though, that tracking mobiles is just one tiny bit. all your paper mail can be opened, all your phone calls listened to. | Dec 08 09:58 |
schestowitz | Paper mail? | Dec 08 09:59 |
kentma | yes | Dec 08 09:59 |
kentma | all your paper mail. | Dec 08 09:59 |
schestowitz | I'm joking. Well, people can search garbage too | Dec 08 09:59 |
schestowitz | They do | Dec 08 09:59 |
schestowitz | Who uses paper mail? | Dec 08 09:59 |
schestowitz | All I get there is junk. | Dec 08 09:59 |
kentma | bills, bank account details, etc. | Dec 08 09:59 |
schestowitz | I'd say "open my mail.. and keep it" :-D | Dec 08 10:00 |
kentma | my point is that HMG can track every aspect of your life if they choose to. | Dec 08 10:00 |
kentma | hehe :-) | Dec 08 10:00 |
schestowitz | I stopped bank statements like 6 years ago. | Dec 08 10:00 |
schestowitz | Which was hard because they were used to people requiring it. | Dec 08 10:00 |
kentma | anyway, back to the story, eBay have realised that skype is worthless, so they're floating it off. They got stung for a few €£billion, though. | Dec 08 10:00 |
schestowitz | Waste of paper and extra labour for Mr Postman. | Dec 08 10:00 |
schestowitz | You could argue that by not giving redundant work you actually harm postmen (and women) | Dec 08 10:01 |
kentma | I'm about 50% electronic at the moment, but preferring to get more so. | Dec 08 10:01 |
schestowitz | kentma: I heard about people who were in the MI5 | Dec 08 10:01 |
kentma | ah, no, post has never been in better shape - all that online purchasing :-) | Dec 08 10:01 |
schestowitz | But you can limit what they get | Dec 08 10:01 |
schestowitz | I was under surveillance in 2006 | Dec 08 10:01 |
schestowitz | By the network admin. | Dec 08 10:01 |
kentma | ah, yes, you said. | Dec 08 10:02 |
schestowitz | They only told me afterwards. | Dec 08 10:02 |
kentma | has that all stopped now? | Dec 08 10:02 |
schestowitz | I don't know. | Dec 08 10:02 |
kentma | did you ever find the real driver? | Dec 08 10:02 |
schestowitz | Post!=Fedex | Dec 08 10:02 |
kentma | parcel force == royal mail, though. | Dec 08 10:03 |
schestowitz | kentma: reason was the Munchkins | Dec 08 10:03 |
kentma | Ah, nasty people, aren't they? Still, the new arrangement seems to work. | Dec 08 10:03 |
schestowitz | That too will suffer | Dec 08 10:03 |
schestowitz | With the Depression and all...... | Dec 08 10:03 |
schestowitz | Yes | Dec 08 10:03 |
schestowitz | No signs of harassment of this kind since. | Dec 08 10:04 |
kentma | Sorry - what will suffer? | Dec 08 10:04 |
schestowitz | The post | Dec 08 10:05 |
schestowitz | Eveyrthing will | Dec 08 10:05 |
schestowitz | I could think of only one exception: public transportation. | Dec 08 10:05 |
kentma | ah, I think we'll see that post will increase, as people buy more things online, because it's less expensive. | Dec 08 10:05 |
kentma | skype story here from earlier in the year: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04... | Dec 08 10:06 |
schestowitz | A friend's parents work at the rail station, so they see rise in business, so to speak. They are understaffed. | Dec 08 10:06 |
schestowitz | You're assuming that people will still buy | Dec 08 10:06 |
schestowitz | This was also an odd purchase... eBay and VoIP | Dec 08 10:07 |
kentma | skype was a brilliant con... there never was any money in it. | Dec 08 10:07 |
schestowitz | http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archive... | Dec 08 10:07 |
kentma | My school is doing well out of the recession, as people take their kids out of public schools. | Dec 08 10:07 |
schestowitz | To private? | Dec 08 10:08 |
kentma | no, my school is a state school. | Dec 08 10:09 |
kentma | http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/15/as-ebays-c... | Dec 08 10:09 |
kentma | public school == fee paying school (anyone can go) | Dec 08 10:09 |
kentma | state school == british/EU citizens only | Dec 08 10:09 |
kentma | grammar school == british/EU citizens who've passed the 11+ | Dec 08 10:10 |
kentma | catholic school == british/EU who pass the religiousness test | Dec 08 10:10 |
kentma | etc. | Dec 08 10:10 |
schestowitz | It impacts college too. | Dec 08 10:11 |
schestowitz | I can't imagine student loans going on the cheap | Dec 08 10:11 |
kentma | I'm sure the universities are getting worried. | Dec 08 10:11 |
schestowitz | .It can't be good for research funds. | Dec 08 10:11 |
kentma | They might have to focus on getting british/eu students rather than oseas ones. | Dec 08 10:11 |
schestowitz | I have some prof friends who are furious | Dec 08 10:11 |
kentma | I'm not surprised... things are tough. HMG should look at pushing more money into universities - better to have people studying than unemployed. | Dec 08 10:12 |
schestowitz | Good point | Dec 08 10:13 |
schestowitz | I thought the opposite though. | Dec 08 10:13 |
schestowitz | Research is luxury. | Dec 08 10:13 |
schestowitz | I can't imagine many funds being available. | Dec 08 10:14 |
kentma | Agreed, but consider that social security/unemployment benefits are also luxury... | Dec 08 10:14 |
kentma | If you're going to pay people to do nothing, better to pay them to study, I think. | Dec 08 10:15 |
schestowitz | Yes, I see your point | Dec 08 10:16 |
schestowitz | Based on history, other options are making war | Dec 08 10:16 |
kentma | war is a really expensive play, though, and the public in general don't have the apetite they used to for it. | Dec 08 10:16 |
schestowitz | Well, it's a bad time to be a student like my brother. | Dec 08 10:18 |
kentma | oh - where is he and what's his principle? | Dec 08 10:19 |
schestowitz | The "war" thing is a worst case scenario | Dec 08 10:19 |
schestowitz | WW2 came about like 5+ years after the depression began, I think. | Dec 08 10:19 |
schestowitz | His principal is computer science. | Dec 08 10:19 |
kentma | yeah, but wwII was also about the final collapse of the old european power structures, including the British Empire, plus the Japanese empire and the US empire. The rise of the "common man", the collapse of aristocracies, a move to social justice, state healthcare and education, in fact, loads of massive change. | Dec 08 10:22 |
kentma | I think that was one of the best positive outcomes of wwii, although one cannot neglect the intense misery for millions upon millions of people, of course. | Dec 08 10:24 |
schestowitz | I hear it's rough in the US though. | Dec 08 10:25 |
kentma | Yes, it's very bad, I hear, too. | Dec 08 10:25 |
schestowitz | People I know (friends and family) lose a huge proportion of what they have). | Dec 08 10:25 |
kentma | If they had money in shares or in banks, then there are problems, and that's about 95% of people... | Dec 08 10:26 |
schestowitz | Yes, even housewives had shared | Dec 08 10:26 |
schestowitz | Everyone saw the casino making good returns | Dec 08 10:27 |
kentma | yeah... a saying from my Yorkshire youth "poor people should invest in gold and land". | Dec 08 10:27 |
schestowitz | Bonds too.... lots of things tied to one-trick ponies like Citigroup | Dec 08 10:27 |
kentma | yes... risky stufff... | Dec 08 10:50 |
schestowitz | Everyone pays for it (Citigroup) now. | Dec 08 10:52 |
schestowitz | Bailout.. | Dec 08 10:52 |

kentma | It's very annoying that a few people have lined their pockets with €£millions, are now lounging around in hotels in the caribean, whilst the rest of us bail out the banking system so that they can return in 3 or 4 years and to it again. | Dec 08 11:04 |
kentma | Further, we should never have permitted de-mutualisation of bld socs, and never have allowed banks to offer mortgages, and never allowed retail banks to get into commercial banking, and so on. | Dec 08 11:05 |
schestowitz | Is this not a swing or power shift? Won't the east rise soon? | Dec 08 11:07 |

schestowitz | What content? | Dec 08 13:20 |
PetoKraus | no idea | Dec 08 13:20 |
schestowitz | Content is a bad word | Dec 08 13:20 |
schestowitz | It turns information into something that's just bits and bytes to underplay it. We didn't censor information, we just 'managed' content. | Dec 08 13:21 |
schestowitz | Our friend Obama seems to be making friends with 'friends'.... http://boycottnovell.com/2008/12/08/ms-l... ... Microsoft is no friend of net neutrality. | Dec 08 13:21 |
schestowitz | Intellectual monopolies, censorship, DRM... Microsoft sees that type of stuff as the future, but it's not alone. Nokia is looking for journalists' luv this week. Based on experience, they blend it with DRM and software patents. Choose Linux, not Symbian. | Dec 08 13:23 |

Eruaran | Already characterizing protesters as "rebels" ? | Dec 08 13:37 |
schestowitz | Where? | Dec 08 13:39 |
schestowitz | Rebels is code word for people who resist iron fist abuse. It's right next to "terrorist" and worse than "activists" | Dec 08 13:40 |
Eruaran | "Anti Internet filtering rebels hit the streets" | Dec 08 13:41 |
schestowitz | Idiotic writer than. Wait until they call these rebels terror sympathisers or pedophiles. That always works. | Dec 08 13:41 |
Eruaran | I always notice the subtle use of words | Dec 08 13:41 |
schestowitz | "Pirates" | Dec 08 13:42 |
Eruaran | Not protesters, "rebels" | Dec 08 13:42 |
Eruaran | Notice its not called internet censorship its called "internet filtering" | Dec 08 13:42 |
schestowitz | Does the dictionary already have an entry for "pirate" that says "copyrights infringer"? http://boycottnovell.com/2008/12/08... | Dec 08 13:42 |
schestowitz | Same thing. | Dec 08 13:43 |

mib_d3pc41 | ah | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | Maybe they revised it. Let's see the diffs | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | Sometimes they have two press releases with similar pitch | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | Novell did that with PlateSpin last week | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | Two PRs, small differences | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | But it's interesting nonetheless | Dec 08 14:07 |
schestowitz | Maybe they announced a Canonical-oriented desktop | Dec 08 14:08 |
schestowitz | Then Red Hat and Novell phoned in.. | Dec 08 14:08 |
mib_d3pc41 | yeah i only noticed it because of that same itwire story and didn't remember other s being involved | Dec 08 14:08 |
schestowitz | It was amusing to see Novell seemingly rebutting an article with me using some press release with an eerily similar headline. | Dec 08 14:08 |
schestowitz | Which itwire story? The troll? | Dec 08 14:09 |
mib_d3pc41 | the "why it will fail" article | Dec 08 14:09 |

schestowitz | I want the IBM-free *and* Microsoft-free PC. They sell Lotus... stinkin' lock-in. | Dec 08 14:12 |
