Ars Technica is blurbing a BBC story that pre-leaks some results from the UK's Gowers Review. This review is actually a commission set up to suggest reforms to the UK's Intellectual Property laws. One of the big issues before the review is the length of copyrights for sound recordings. Currently that's 50 years, but there have been pushes for longer terms such as 95 years or life-plus-70.
The pushes have come from big names, including the U2's Bono and the British Library, but if the leak is true then it appears Gowers will reject these proposals. What that would mean is that the first of the Beatles' music would enter the public domain in the UK in 2012 or thereabouts. It would not be public domain in the US because of recent term extensions here (the so-called Mickey Mouse law) and part of the push on UK laws has been to "harmonize" them with the US laws.
As Nate Anderson points out in the Ars piece, "harmonization" has been a remarkably one-way process in the past, with the nod always going to the more restrictive set of rules. Thus, Bono et al might have been hoping for a Parliamentary Sgt Pepper act to extend ther monopolies. They may get it anyway, since Gowers is a recommending body, not a legislating one. Or maybe the public domain will win one.

Forgive me, this is a little bit convoluted. I don't really follow the entertainment news, but I do read comics. So when a popular Web comic like Dork Tower goes out of its way to lambaste a particular bit of pop news I figure I should see what all the foofawrawr is about.
Near as I can make out, Peter Jackson was expected to make a movie of The Hobbit for New Line Cinema. No big surprise there - he made a kajillion dollars (about USD 3 billion, from public reports of the global box office take) doing fabulous movies of the three Lord of the Rings books. He is particularly beloved by many fans who felt it only natural he be brought back to direct The Hobbit, a prequel to the LOTR story. So far, so good.
Then on the 19th of this month Jackson's letter was posted on a major fan Web site indicating that he would be off the project that potentially involves both The Hobbit and another prequel movie. Apparently this is due to the ongoing dispute between Jackson and New Line Cinema over income from merchandising on the LOTR films. It makes a certain kind of sense - you don't want to get into another complex and long business arrangement with someone that you're going to court against.
So what does all this have to do with IP? Well, it turns out that New Line don't actually own the rights to make these films. Those rights are held by an entity called "Tolkein Enterprises", a company formed in 1976 by producer Saul Zaentz. That company leased the rights to New Line, and lookee lookee, that lease runs out in less than a year.
This may matter because Zaentz himself is a Peter Jackson fan. Some weeks before this all erupted he gave an interview in which he is quoted as saying that The Hobbit "... will definitely be shot by Peter Jackson." Although he hasn't commented recently, fans are interpreting his remarks to mean that he would not be willing to re-lease the rights to New Line if Jackson was not involved. My guess is that the contract probably has some clause that says the rights will auto-renew if the movie is in production.
So this is how the dominos fall: New Line is under pressure to start production on the movie due to rights, but doesn't want to settle quickly with Jackson on the merchandising suit. So they'll probably start production with another director and piss off 80% of their fan base.

Under the tagline "we are smarter than me", an online collaborative book project has opened itself to public participation.
The draw involves asking people to collaboratively write a book with "authors from MIT, Wharton, and thousands of professionals from around the world." Visitors are invited to become authors in the Creative Commons-licensed project.
The project's goals are lofty - to incorporate the experiences of a potentally large distributed set of contributors. As someone who has edited a conventional book (in which selected authors are each invited to submit a chapter) I can say the amount of overhead this is going to involve will likely be huge. Automated tools (from email/chat boards on up) can help only so much. To some degree this is mitigated by appealing to potential co-authors from a likely limited and dedicated set:L MIT Sloan and Penn Wharton faculty, students, and alumni. To help further the book project is relying on a technology (wiki) and structures of organization surrounding that technology that have shown some past success. The project has a publisher (Pearson) lined up, and a plan to distribute any royalties as charitable donations to organizations selected by the authorial community.
My sense is that in terms of community, infrastructure, and process, this effort is unlikely to break any new ground. The real question, as posed by the site's FAQ, is: "whether a community of authors can write a compelling book better than individual experts." That's an interesting question to test and I wish them success.
(Full disclosure: way back in the dark ages, Sloan Professor Thomas Malone, one of the organizers of this project, worked on some projects to which I minorly contributed.)

This was on the Quote of the day list today:
"It grieves me now that I cursed them (in the matter of book piracy), because I perceived that my curse is working and that their speech is be-coming a horror already. They delude them-selves into the belief that they talk English--the English--and I have already been pitied for speaking with "an English accent." The man who pitied me spoke, so far as I was concerned, the language of thieves. And they all do. Where we put the accent forward they throw it back, and vice versa where we give the long "a" they use the short, and words so simple as to be past mistaking they pronounce somewhere up in the dome of their heads. How do these things happen?
"Oliver Wendell Holmes says that the Yankee school-marm, the cider and the salt codfish of the Eastern States, are responsible for what he calls a nasal accent. I know better. They stole books from across the water without paying for 'em, and the snort of delight was fixed in their nostrils forever by a just Providence. That is why they talk a foreign tongue to-day."
- Rudyard Kipling, in American Notes, explaining the divergence of American spoken English.

For those not up on the history: America used to be very... what's the word... "relaxed" about recognizing foreign copyrights. Much like, say, China is today. Turnabout and all that. Pretty ironic in light of the current jihad being run by the Cartel.

One of those things that just cried out for a better remix: CNN's self-edit. And so I hereby give you: Bill Maher on CNN, remixed. Just in case you didn't get the point the first time.

In the days before photography permitted instant capture of a scene, arists would be paid to sketch or paint an event or scene and copies of that rendition would appear in broadsheets and other newspaper predecessors. Even today we have sketch artists on courtrooms where photographers are not permitted.
So the question, then, is this: if a painter depicts an actual event or scene is that creative work protected in the same way as a photograph of the event would be?
This is the question being asked by painter Daniel A. Moore, because he is being sued by the University of Alabama which claims that his paintings of Alabama football game scenes violate the University's trademark "crimson and white color scheme".
Moore has been painting football scenes for years, so it's not clear why he's being sued now. He claims to have made millions from paintings and reproductions of them; the University won't comment but seems to have taken umbrage at Moore's move into more merchandise-like things such as mugs and calendars.
Moore doesn't stand on the gridiron sidelines and paint as the action happens - he works from photos and his own experience of the event. One of the contentions raised by the University is that this means his paintings contain no (or not enough) original content to be protected by separate copyright.
Just about everyone in the Times story seems to think this is a dumb lawsuit but mostly on social grounds; it's not clear to me where this falls out from a purely legal standpoint.

The questions of copyright and "official" versions just keep getting funnier.
This time we have CNN attempting (apparently successfully) to force YouTube to take down as copyright violation the original broadcast version of a show. But they have no problems with YouTube copies of an edited version, which they themselves showed.
Confused? Me too. Here's what I can piece together:
Bill Maher guests on Larry King Live. This show is shown live to parts of the US (East Coast) but rebroadcast from tape for later time zones (West Coast). On the live version, Maher made some remarks suggestiong that RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman is gay. My hipper gay friends tell me this is an open secret. He's closeted and all that, but yeah he's gay. OK, whatever.
Except CNN doesn't seem to like those remarks so when Maher's appearance gets rebroadcast for the later showing those comments are edited out. Of course people notice (duh, CNN really doesn't get it) and people who recorded the original version post it to YouTube. People also post the edited version. CNN sent a copyright violation letter to the person who posted the original, unedited version, and then edited its online transcript of the show to match what was later shown.
Here's the Americablog entry, which contains both the cease-and-desist letter and a link to the Huffington Post blog, which has the entire video and the screaming headline "CENSORED BY CNN".
Way to publicize a controversy and make yourselves look like idiots, guys.

Really amateurish attempt by White House VJs...err, spin doctors to alter the President's infamous carrier-deck speech video. Obviously they're trying to cover up some inconvenient history, but I'm sure my readers can point me to much better remixes. RX where are you when we need you?

After beating RIM in a long and drawn-out court case, NTP are going after Palm for its wireless email widgets. The news accounts I've read on this are a bit confused, but it seems likely that Palm's Treo line is the primary target. Treo isn't quite as popular as the "Crackberry" but it's still a significant market share and a big revenue source for Palm. As is typical in these cases, NTP has started by asking for a preliminary injunction on sales as well as damages. I don't think it's any more likely that a judge will grant the injunction than in the Blackberry case; on the other hand, NTP's settlement with RIM may provide a template for a much quicker resolution here that would give Palm protection and allow it to continue business uninterrupted.
Alternatively, Palm might try to drag things out, given that the USPTO has already rejected claims in some of the patents on which NTP is basing its case. If Palm can get favorable rulings out of the Patent Office it may be able to tell NTP to take a flying leap, and save itself potentially hundreds of millions in expenses.

Mark Frauenfelder is reporting in boingboing that some idiot is trying to claim copyright in the Principia Discordia. If you don't know why this is nearly the height of absurdity I probably can't explain it very much. Suffice it to say that the volume is one near and dear to the hearts of certain elements of what used to be called the counterculture, as well as being a religious text for pagans who worship the goddess Eris. And that the book was clearly released into the public domain by its original 1965 authors.
The new book has a new title, new layout and some new text, all of which are being roundly derided by devotees of the original work. Boingboing also has links to scans of the original work and various text editions. Help yourself!

As noted by, among others, Eugene Volokh, a patent application has been filed with an obvious "test data" claim. The claim reads:
9. The method of providing user interface displays in an image forming apparatus which is really a bogus claim included amongst real claims, and which should be removed before filing; wherein the claim is included to determine if the inventor actually read the claims and the inventor should instruct the attorneys to remove the claim.
On the other hand, I have a lot of sympathy for the point made by "Tony2" in the comments, to the effect that the rendering of technical inventions into patents is the semantic equivalent of translating them into a foreign language spoken only by a specialized community. Bogus claims or not, I find as a technical person I can't make a lot of sense out of patent language. It's completely understandable that the inventor on this patent wouldn't be fluent in this foreign language and would trust that people paid hundreds of dollars per hour - the application-drafting lawyers - would in fact do their jobs.
So, yeah. Funny. And also kind of sad.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purposes of this study are threefold: 1) to evaluate the prevalence and risks of oral complications in patients with aplastic anemia; 2) to evaluate if oral problems in these patients can predict their response to treatment; and 3) to review complications of dental treatment in these patients in order to establish treatment guidelines.
This study will be performed through a review of medical charts of 79 patients with aplastic anemia and 67 patients with schizophrenia who were treated at the National Institutes of Health Dental Clinic between 1993 and 1999. The schizophrenia patients will serve as a control population.
Demographic, clinical and radiographic information will be collected for all patients. Additional data collected only for aplastic anemia patients will include medical therapy, disease duration, blood cell counts, oral problems that developed during treatment and treatment response.
Aplastic Anemia
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Oral Manifestations of Aplastic Anemia
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2000
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|April 2002
The prevalence, risk factors and significance of oral manifestations in aplastic anemia have not been well characterized. Thus, in the present study, through a retrospective chart review, we document the prevalence of oral complications in AA patients and the risks for oral manifestations in a case-control study. Schizophrenic patients represent controls. Information includes the following; demographic, clinical and radiographic information for cases and controls. Additional data collection for only AA patients includes prior medical therapy, CBC and differential, disease duration, new oral manifestations during AA treatment and medical treatment response. We determine if systemic clinical features of AA predict oral manifestations, and if oral manifestations predict treatment outcomes for AA patients. Finally complications following dental treatment are compiled and reviewed to establish initial treatment guidelines for these patients.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Cases: All aplastic anemia patients evaluated at the NIH dental clinic for consultation between 1993-1999.
Controls: All schizophrenic patients evaluated at the NIH dental clinic for consultation between 1993-1999.
Patients without the diagnosis of aplastic anemia for cases or schizophrenia for the controls.

Question of the Week: Being Brave

Being brave doesn't mean not having fear but conquering the fear and doing what you need to do anyways. I read that somewhere. its not word for word, but pretty close.
I never knew I had the strength to be brave in the face of Pulmonary Hypertension, or any chronic illness for that matter, until I was diagnosed and had no other choice.

UCLA Recruits Can Sign Letters Of Intent Electronically For First Time
Lakers PhotosLakers vs. FC Barcelona The Los Angeles Lakers face off with Pau Gasol's former team and European Champions FC Barcelona on October 7, 2010. Nike's House of Hoops In Barcelona and Basketball Clinic Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol go against Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro on a 2-on-2 game Lakers Travel To London Pilots hold up a Lakers flag before the Los Angeles Lakers travel to London at LAX on September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA football coaches can forget about the fax machine on national signing day.
The school said Tuesday that for the first time, UCLA recruits will be able to sign their letters of intent electronically. Universities nationwide have for years traditionally received the documents via fax.
UCLA is using a service that allows recruits and their parents to use a mouse or their fingers to sign the letters on the screen of a mobile device. Completed letters are then sent by email to the family and the school.
UCLA football director of player personnel Pat Girardi said in a news release that the goal is to be on the forefront of "technology coming down the pipeline."

It feels like you can't turn your back for a second without another story about distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks popping up.
This one, however, has nothing to do with WikiLeaks and instead involves a co-ordinated cyber attack against a website running the popular "Call of Duty" video game.
According to news reports, a 17-year-old British teenager was arrested early on Thursday morning by computer crime police in the Beswick area of Manchester under suspicion of using malware to make the "Call of Duty" website unreachable by many online gamers.
A malicious program called "Phenom Booter" is said to have been offered for sale online, giving purchasers the ability to score more points and stop other gamers from playing.
Activision, the publisher of "Call of Duty" contacted police in September when they noticed the impact on their servers.
The youth, who has not been named, is being charged with offences under the Computer Misuse Act.
You may think that disrupting an online game server is a victimless crime, even for a game as popular as "Call of Duty", but don't forget that video gaming is a huge business - and the impact on publishers if their games are disrupted by malicious hackers can be significant.

You've worked hard to develop your online business, and you are working harder, needlessly, to advertise it. You've invested numerous hours into your business, and a great deal of cash. Don't let all of that time and energy go to waste by not successfully marketing your business.
Any business owner already knows that to increase sales and as a result profits, you must have the broadest client base. In order to increase your client base upon the web, you must have an ever increasing online presence. There is no way around it. Search Engine Optimization and back-linking is the only way to successfully advertise your online business. An on-line business has a much harder time discovering excellence without SEO tools and automation methods.
Don't let all your time and energy go down the drain because of inefficient Search Engine Optimization. No matter which back-linking software you choose, Captcha Sniper is an effective tool to help your operations. Having a varied set of back-links is important if you hope to have any excellence in climbing the search engine rankings. Most popular blog, information, and social media websites utilize character acknowledgment to prevent automation. Captcha addressing is crucial if you hope to automate your online back-linking efforts.
Do It Like The Pros
Every web marketer will inform you that manually advertising a site is a time consuming and aggravating task. That is why they utilize automation software like Captcha Sniper as an indispensable tool to help drive even more traffic to their customer's business. With Captcha Sniper, web online marketers can push a customers message to even more websites in less time.
With Captcha Sniper, you too can beat a range of the present systems in place that slow down automation and distribution of your message, the way the pros do.

Excellent news! All that time you "waste" squealing over pictures of adorable baby animals on the web — it actually makes you more productive!
This is the conclusion of researchers at Hiroshima University as reported in The Washington Post. Their study compared one group of students' productivity after viewing pictures of baby animals to that of a second group that saw pictures of adult dogs and cats and a third group that looked at images of food. The tiny cuties proved most inspirational.

The task the students had to perform was similar to the game of Operation, and the researchers speculated that the superior performance of the first group might be due to stimulation of the fine motor skills needed to care for babies. Another theory they offered was that the baby pictures made the subjects more attentive, a quality which would translate into higher productivity on a wide range of tasks.

The Hiroshima study is a welcome counterpoint to the conventional internet wisdom that many of us waste time visually gobbling up irresistible images of baby cats, dogs, otters, polar bears, deer, ducklings, you name it. Those of us who fall prey to this pastime — and I count myself among them — know that the pictures improve our moods, because we can't help but smile. Maybe that is the explanation for the productivity increase right there — happier people are more effective.

Now we can brandish this study against those who would mock our sentimental attraction to kittens and baby bunnies cuddling together. We're not being foolish — we're working.
By the way, The Washington Post reports that the productivity boost applied to men and women alike.

Might as well look at a few more adorable babies, as long as you're banking all this productivity.

The farmer and his wife were burned to death as their house was set on fire early Friday in southern Chile, as authorities blamed indigenous activists for the 'terrorist' act. The fire comes amid a wave of attacks in recent weeks in territories where the indigenous Mapuche Indians claim historic rights. The government has blamed the violence on a radical movement within the group. AFP PHOTO/ARIEL MARINKOVIC (Photo credit should read ARIEL MARINKOVIC/AFP/Getty Images)
