• Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/13/0931/13  + (The trademark dilution issue may be real, … 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.</br></br>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).</br></br>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.s stupid for the lawyers to go after fans.)

• Lawrence Lessig/blog/2002/11/27/1203/3  + (This analysis is problematic because the m … This analysis is problematic because the methodology of determining which works from each year is still "in print" has to be done through tedious human analysis. ISBN numbers only began to be assigned in the 1970s (as SBNs) and I believe it wasn't a widespread practice until the 1980s. This means that titles in print from before the 1970s have to be looked at individually and with author names to determine if any instanciation of the work in question is still in print today.</br></br>This doesn't reduce the value of the analysis, but where is the methodology so we can determine how they handled the overlap (or lack thereof)?hey handled the overlap (or lack thereof)?)
• 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/2002/11/13/0931/10  + (This is a pervasive problem. All kinds of … 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.</br></br>--Brianeums. Very strange and very sad. --Brian)

Using their electronic database, you can look for books in print by year of publication. Since we did the search in 2002, we were able to see how many works from a give year were still available.rks from a give year were still available.)

• 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/2002/11/12/1507/1  + (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/2002/11/13/0949/1  + (Yes, it's open for DSL but you must partic … 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.</br></br>It's better than one company offering DSL but not quite free of the bell-heads yet. but not quite free of the bell-heads yet.)
• 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)

Kind of works on the principle that copyright protection is not granted on creation but on request. It might be against the law, but with the law in this case making very little sense, an innovative attempt at trying to expose its fallacies is worth a shot.</br></br>--krishna its fallacies is worth a shot. --krishna)
