ES: €¿Cómo Microsoft Florian Cocina 'Spin'?

Witch's house



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: €¿Cómo mobbyists prostituyen la prensa y los patrones que los periodistas deben tener en cuenta si quieren evitar ser engañados y explotados?

En mi Inbox (Bandeja de entrada) Tengo más de 100 mensajes de Microsoft Florian[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Florian_M%C3%BCller]. No todos ellos son personales. Florian es tímido para admitirlo, pero su funcionamiento se basa en la reutilización de textos para comentarios de blog (y cerrar los comentarios en sus propios blogs después de haberlos encontrado irritantes) y también por el correo electrónico, que utiliza para insertar su nombre y sus afirmaciones a menudo incorrectas dentro artículos de noticias. Tal vez haya ponderado enviarlo a un trillón de periodistas, con la esperanza de que uno en un trillón le dará espacio en un post/artículo. Tal vez es así es como funciona la industria del cabildeo, €¿quién sabe? Claro que yo no. Pero lo que sí sé lo que me enviaron y recibieron ingresos también. Aquí está un ejemplo de un mensaje:



De: Florian Mueller Para: "Roy Schestowitz" Asunto: Decisión Bilski no invalida ni una patente de software Fecha: Lunes, 28 de junio 2010 18:53:58 0200

(Triste historia ... y aquí este es un ejemplo de mis correos electrónicos a los periodistas cuando las noticias salen)

Por favor, siéntase libre de utilizar en su presentación de informes sobre la decisión Bilski cualquiera de estos comentarios. Soy el autor del blog patentes de FOSS (y fundador y ex director de la campaña NoSoftwarePatents) sobre la decisión de Bilski y lo que significa para la patentabilidad del software.

Aquí hay una cita a unos pocos elegidos, y más adelante la dirección URL de mi anuncio y el texto completo.

"Desafortunadamente, el Tribunal Supremo emitió un dictamen que no ayuda a la causa de la supresión parcial o total de las patentes de software en absoluto."

"La posición mayoritaria de la corte es de aproximadamente el razonamiento más liberal que podría haber sido. Sólo una decisión de mantener la patente de Bilski podría haber sido menos restrictiva.

"En pocas palabras, la decisión del Tribunal Supremo de no acabar con las patentes de software, incluso una que ya existe, ni subir el listón para el futuro."

"La decisión anunciada hoy deja claro que la mayoría de la Corte Suprema quiso dar a la abolición de incluso sólo un pequeño porcentaje de todas las patentes de software con la mayor amplitud posible".

"Esta decisión de EE.UU. es aún más decepcionante si se tiene en cuenta la tendencia mundial." [A continuación se menciona el proceso político en Nueva Zelanda y la decisión de los tribunales en Alemania]

"La posición que las patentes de software deberían ser abolidas no es tan popular entre los jueces y los políticos como en la comunidad de software de código libre y abierto."

La próxima defensivo licencia de patente (DPL), se recomienda al final del blog.

Aquí está la dirección y el texto completo:


Luego viene el ego-surfing. El puede mostrar a otras personas cómo los antecedentes que menciona (que e-mail en masa) supuestamente le da credibilidad. Es una cadena de FUD (Miedo Incertidumbre y Duda), al igual que Microsoft con la patente FAT (usando los asentamientos para disuadir un nuevo examen de ellas).

Es una receta típica de "por favor, utilice mis citas", "aquí están las muestras que usted puede utilizar" (no las palabras exactas). He recibido un montón de ellos, incluso después de señalarle que es SPAM (correo masivo), mientras que él lo esconde, lo que no me ha gustado. De hecho, a juzgar por las cabeceras parece como un mensaje personal, pero hasta después de un tiempo pude ver lo que era, entonces él me envió esta explicación:

De: Florian Mueller Para: "Roy Schestowitz" Asunto: La UE inicia una investigación en contra de IBM sobre las prácticas de Mainframe Fecha: Lunes, 26 de julio 2010 15:33:54 0200

(Esto va a varios destinatarios, pero yo no quería utilizar una lista no desvelada debido a posibles problemas con los filtros de spam, no puedo utilizar un anuncio publicitario ;-) Herramienta

[...]

Los "filtros de spam", €¿eh? Ellos son un obstáculo para los grupos de presión. Florian y sus amigos los matones de Microsoft puede intentar todo lo que quieren para amordazar a los que explicar su "algoritmo" (Florian no ha patentado este algoritmo lobby/método de negocio, sin embargo, €¿verdad?), Pero la gente merece saber la verdad.
