| 2011/07/20/0836/link + | But even the president knows he can’t solve the fiscal crisis by helping himself to bigger and bigger chunks of the income of America’s most successful people. |
| 2011/07/20/1531/link + | Ahmad Al-Shlash, a tribal leader in Syria, gave an interview to the Arabic language channel Al-Dunya TV in which he, along with his "cousins," reportedly called for the U.S. Ambassador to Syria, Robert Stephen Ford, to be cooked and eaten like "American mutton," either "with salt or without salt." |
| 2011/07/23/1705/link + | ...some pundits, mostly right-wing neoconservatives, proclaimed that this bore all the hallmarks of Islamic terrorism, even going so far as to draw policy prescriptions. At the ''Washington Post'', normally a well-respected news outlet, Jennifer Rubin quoted the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies‘ Thomas Joscelyn and AEI scholar Gary Schmitt to say that the attacks were the result of Islamic terrorism. She then concluded the “jihadist” attack on Oslo means the U.S. shouldn’t cut military spending... |
| 2011/08/15/2230/link + | Raquel Nelson, 30, could now spend more time in jail than the driver because she didn't use a crosswalk when she walked her three children over a busy street from a bus stop to their apartment in Marietta, Georgia. |

| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/12/1036/1 + | "continuous heavy traffic or data sessions" almost assuredly means "running a popular HTTP or KaZaa server to the point that we notice it and want to shut you down". |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/12/1036/2 + | I thought only in Germany they use bad marketing for phones, but "nice" to see we are "not alone" - happy new year 2004 from Germany. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/12/1507/1 + | Wowow has lots of American shows: Sex and the City, Felicity, CSI, Friends, Third Watch, Dawson's Creek, The Sopranos (currently in reruns), South Park... Press the "bilingual" button on your remote control and enjoy the original language track. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/01 + | This is OUTRAGEOUS. People should write [mailto:JVolpe@mail.metopera.org Volpe] and complain. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/02 + | Well, it worked for Fox vis-a-vis The Simpsons. Not that Homer is struggling with the same popularity problems that opera has, but still, it's a page straight out of the Fox playbook. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/03 + | The NY Mets did the same thing with their fan sites. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/04 + | Speaking as a professional marketing manager, and someone who has been messing around on the 'net for ages, the Met and their lawyers are insane! Developing and building such a site is an expensive, time-consuming proposition. If they wanted to build it themselves it would run them thousands of dollars easily - and wouldn't be as good. Why shut it down? Sponsor it, co-opt it, drive traffic to it, feed it and it will feed you...are they deranged, stupid or just petty? This is a great resource, throwing it away only hurts themselves. Is it possible to add "common-sense provision" to existing copyright law? |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/05 + | I didn't believe this until I went to the "archived" version of the site. That 70 years of history has been put together by an individual out their love of an institution is a profound thing worthy of support, not the cutting off of air supply. Apparently, there is no such things as "common sense" when it comes to the use of a so-called trademark law. While the name "Metropolitan Opera" might be a trademark, there is nothing legally to prevent me from saying the words as many times as I wish on a webpage. It saddens me no end to see that MetManiac has felt obliged to comply with the outrageous demands of the New York Opera Company. I wish that they had the wherewithal to fight this. I truly fear that this is simply another episode of many more to come. And thus, our history disappears... |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/06 + | Surely to protect the trademarks, all you have to do is ask the owner of the side to use capital letters where appopriate and perhaps put up a notice saying that " is a registered trademark which is the property of . This site has is independent of them." If this is not the case, why is it not the case? |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/07 + | There is a way around this: a desktop website that runs on a local CMS (his site is data driven and not just a collection of static pages). The "package" of functionality could be distributed via P2P. If there is damage, route around it. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/08 + | "Only an automaton!" Dean is right. Larry Lawyer, do you think they could negotiate a stay of execution if they change the name of the site to avoid copyright infringement? Maybe Opera could commit suicide more effectively with poison, a dagger, garotte, cannon ball or elephant from Aida sitting on them. Ya think? Nah! |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/09 + | At least actions such as may help educate the public that enforcement of copyright--as copyright is currently legislated--is in many cases more immoral than the act of infringement. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/10 + | This is a pervasive problem. All kinds of institutions, groups, and businesses (or more specifically their lawyers) are progressively making it illegal to publish information ABOUT them via various trademark and copyright laws. Who exactly thinks this is a smart idea (besides the lawyers who are paid to enact such nonsense I mean)? My art site occasionally gets similar threatening letters because it mentions artists, galleries, and museums. Very strange and very sad. --Brian |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/11 + | Quite simple: don't use the name of the place. Refer to "an Opera house in Manhattan" or something. But the list of presentations is history, everyone should be able to register it. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/12 + | Personally I like the first suggestion. It reminds me of Gary Larson's story regarding the Jane Goodall cartoon. (Two chimps in a tree: one says to the other while picking something off his back, "Another blonde hair, you've been hanging around that Jane Goodall tramp again!" or something like that. The Jane Goodall Institute either threatened to sue, or did sue. Eventually, either the lady herself or someone else with a brain, heard about the whole debacle and immediately stopped the suit. The end result? They paid Larson for the rights to print his cartoon on THEIR t-shirts and posters! A wonderful about-face!! |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/13 + | The trademark dilution issue may be real, "forcing" the opera houses' hands just as Disney is forced to go after day care facilities that use their characters on the walls without permission (or maybe they are just evil?). But it would seem some sort of extended protections of the sort already granted to news agencies would make sense. Why should a non-commercial use of that trademark really constitute dilution? Granted, it becomes more common language if that mark is used, say, for any opera, but using the name of the opera house in reference to that opera house is hardly dilution; if anything, it is the opposite. Refering to that specific opera house only with that name would appear to strengthen the specificity of that trademark (or whatever the legal term would be). So I'm not even sure how this constitutes trademark dilution if it is allowed to continue, regardless of whether, practically, it is stupid for the lawyers to go after fans. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/14 + | "To be or not to be" isn't the question anymore. By whatever means, this site is back by popular demand. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0949/1 + | Yes, it's open for DSL but you must participate in the phone company's monopoly. Sadly, DSL in Japan still requires you to pay NTT (the national phone monopoly) the base rate for the residential phone line (about $700 flat fee plus monthlies and per minute charges on every call irregardless of distance) or the rental of a line. For those of us who decide not to pay it and go wireless, we need to buy "Type 2 DSL" which includes a monopoly fee of about $20/mo additional to NTT for which you receive nothing in return. It's better than one company offering DSL but not quite free of the bell-heads yet. |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0949/2 + | The Japanese installed a lot of ISDN (predecessor to ADSL) too. The ADSL standard variant for Japan (called 'annex C') is a gross hack because of the need not to interfere with all the ISDN lines. (The small number of people with ISDN elsewhere will have to switch to ADSL) |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0949/3 + | You wrote "They now offer 12 mbs (yes, I mean 12 mps)". That has at least one important typo. Do you mean "Mbps"? |
| Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0949/4 + | eAccess is no longer the company to watch in ADSL in Japan. about a year ago it relinquished the role of being a market innovator to Yahoo Japan, which is offering combination IP telephony, wireless LAN access and 12Mbps ADSL |
