      Don't the courts decide fair use claims?

copyright fair use newspapers aggregators

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 27 Jul 09 - Cached
  • aking a new hard line that news articles should not turn up on search engines and Web sites without permission, The Associated Press said Thursday that it would add software to each article that shows what limits apply to the rights to use it, and that notifies The A.P. about how the article is used.
  • the company’s position was that even minimal use of a news article online required a licensing agreement with the news organization that produced it.
  • Search engines and news aggregators contend that their brief article citations fall under the legal principle of fair use.

  • Each article — and, in the future, each picture and video — would go out with what The A.P. called a digital “wrapper,” data invisible to the ordinary consumer that is intended, among other things, to maximize its ranking in Internet searches. The software would also send signals back to The A.P., letting it track use of the article across the Web.

cloud computing e-publishing privacy innovation censorship

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 20 Jul 09 - Cached
  • But the most difficult challenge — both to grasp and to solve — of the cloud is its effect on our freedom to innovate.
  • This freedom is at risk in the cloud, where the vendor of a platform has much more control over whether and how to let others write new software.
  • And many software developers who once would have been writing whatever they wanted for PCs are simply developing less adventurous, less subversive, less game-changing code under the watchful eyes of Facebook and Apple.

  • But that could change in a matter of months if the book industry insists on 1) jacking up the price of e-books and 2) withholding potential best-sellers from the e-book market.
  • "Publishers are in denial about the economics of digital content,"
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Does the book industry want to join the digital flow, the way the TV industry has with Hulu and TV.com? Or by its obstruction does it intend to encourage the establishment of a Bookster?
