We're staying put where we are. We're going no-where. But we have a message to hollywood, the investigators and the prosecutors: LOL.
bansky and ads copyrights
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

The thesis represents a search for the appropriate regime for protecting remote sensing data and information. Based on the technical and societal characteristics of this type of data, it argues in favour of the necessity to secure access to it. Using the regulatory examples of the USA and Europe, the research compares the effectiveness of such relevant legal regimes as intellectual property protection, in particular, copyright on the one hand, and the regulation of public sector information on the other. On the basis of this analysis the argument is made, that the unnecessary commodification of remote sensing data through private property-like protection regime will adversely influence their use and diminish their value. The principle of sharing, based on the theories of common property and the common good, is proposed as the best and most appropriate solution to avoid development of such a scenario. Its viability and effectiveness lies in the emphasis on the balance between the private and the public in the achievement of the common good of a better life that today manifests itself inter alia in being information rich. The principle of sharing has survived centuries of philosophical thought and is relevant today, particularly with regard to the establishment of the protection and distribution regime for remote sensing data, as the highlighted examples of geographic information infrastructures and the Geographic Earth Observation System of Systems show. The metaphor of information as a waterway rounds up the discussion regarding the relevance of the principle of sharing and emphasises the indispensability of the access-to-data oriented approach to the regulation of relationships over the generation, distribution and use of remote sensing data and information.

SOPA, PIPA, Owark and long term preservation | Eric van der Vlist
If we can read the Odyssey today, it’s not because its original “editor” has been able to preserve it, but because “Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe” and enough copies had been spread to insure its transmission.

The concept of ownership — possessing the exclusive rights and control over a property of any kind — has existed for centuries and in all cultures. Whether by state, collective or personal, ownership is a determining factor not only in our built environment, but in the way we shape our society, too. Yet what happens to ownership when the behaviors and needs of our society shift? What do we need to own, if anything at all? In every change, the redefinition provides new opportunities for our built environment.
Insane Entitlement: EMI Sues Irish Gov't For Not Passing SOPA-Like Censorship Law | Techdirt
wtf?major record label EMI (in the process of being acquired by Universal Music to make it the largest record label by far) is suing the Irish government because it feels the Irish government is taking too long to pass a SOPA-like law that would require ISPs to censor the internet and block access to sites it doesn't like.

Tepco Erects Tent Around Blasted Fukushima Daiichi Reactor - Japan Real Time - WSJ
But even before the construction began, there were challenges. There was no detailed plant blueprint, for one. That information was trapped in a computer in the reactor building and inaccessible. The only layout available was one produced 40 years ago, which didn’t include any of the stacks, pipes and buildings added later.
Suisse : Contrefaçon et piratages n'impactent pas la création artistique
Si internet a modifié, comme le note le Conseil fédéral, la manière de découvrir musique, films et jeux vidéo - et par conséquent, des livres aussi, ces habitudes nouvelles « ne devraient toutefois pas avoir de conséquences négatives sur la création culturelle ».

The Copyright Industry – A Century Of Deceit | TorrentFreak
It is said that those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. In the case of the copyright industry, they have learned that they can get new monopoly benefits and rent-seeker’s benefits every time there is a new technology, if they just complain loudly enough to the legislators.

But I’m also doing this because I’m secretly an idealist (with all the inherent irrationality), and I find the notion of a world in which people pay what they want for art to be attractive.

The case for piracy – Blog – ABC Technology and Games (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
When it comes to copyright theft and piracy, many people assume there's just one side - the side of truth, justice and copyright owners. Beyond that there are parasitical thieves. When most governments come to legislate on the matter, their response is usually one of listening to what big corporations and lobby groups say and nodding in agreement. For the general public, years of being bombarded by cross platform marketing campaigns have ingrained people with various "Piracy bad. Copyright good" slogans.

History and the copy machine: the economist’s price of everything « matt.me63.com – Matt Edgar
And as we entered the 21st Century we did so with the internet, the most insanely efficient copy machine the world has ever seen. We can take any text, picture, song or movie and, in seconds, copy – not transmit but copy – it from one side of the world to another. This too is a cause for celebration. We are better informed, better connected and better documented than ever before.
