US Teen Runs to Iraq Alone

2005-12-30T04:02:00.000-05:00

AP: U.S. Teen Runs Off to Iraq by Himself - Yahoo! News: "He said he wrote half the essay while in the United States, half in Kuwait, and e-mailed it to his teachers Dec. 15 while in the Kuwait City airport.

'There is a struggle in Iraq between good and evil, between those striving for freedom and liberty and those striving for death and destruction,' he wrote.

'Those terrorists are not human but pure evil. For their goals to be thwarted, decent individuals must answer justice's call for help. Unfortunately altruism is always in short supply. Not enough are willing to set aside the material ambitions of this transient world, put morality first, and risk their lives for the cause of humanity. So I will.'

'I want to experience during my Christmas the same hardships ordinary Iraqis experience everyday, so that I may better empathize with their distress,' he wrote."

[videoblogging] Call-Out for Web Designer - videobloggers.org Needs You

To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com

Hey.
Anyone crafty at web design? because i have ZERO spare time lately (barely time to work on vlogdir).

So, I need someone to create about 3-5 vlog-centric templates for users to choose from.
videobloggers.org is a blogging engine and media manager. So, the front-end can use any templates, just like blogger.com etc... Only prob is, I want to have new, fresh templates that cater to videoblogging... I have a few themes partially finished, but need help desperately. I have to face the fact that a one-man team cant make it all happen.... not in my world. days are too short... or at least my concentration is ;-)

This would be volunteer work, but good for your portfolio.... and you would be contributing to the videoblogging community, which gives you warm fuzzies and shit. Seriosuly though, this is a legit project. It's a front-end to the very respectable ibiblio.org much the same as ourmedia.org/archive.org.
There is no commercial side to this project. It is all about giving back to the community. So, if that gets ya hot, then ping me.

Any magicians out there? Please? Thanks.

Cheers~

Big Brother in YOUR printer

2005-10-18T11:39:00.000-04:00

EFF Reveals Codes in Xerox Printers - Yahoo! News: "'Even worse, it shows how the government and private industry make backroom deals to weaken our privacy by compromising everyday equipment like printers.'

Researchers found patterns of yellow dots arranged in 15 by 8 grids and printed repeatedly over every color page, said Seth Schoen, a staff technologist at the San Francisco-based civil-liberties group.

The dots are visible only with a magnifying glass or under blue light, which causes the yellow dots to appear black.

By analyzing test pages printed out by supporters worldwide and by staffers at various FedEx Kinko's locations, researchers found that some of the dots correspond to the printers' serial numbers. Other dots refer to the date and time of the printing."

This fraud will go away not because people will suddenly get smart and quit responding to phishing e-mails, because California has new criminal penalties for phishing, or because ISPs will recognize and delete the e-mails. It will go away because the information a criminal can get from a phishing attack won't be enough for him to commit fraud -- because the companies won't stand for all those losses.''"

Lessig on Supporting Creative Commons

2005-10-06T13:40:00.000-04:00

Maybe u knew... if not... whatcha think?

"The licenses give creators a simple way to mark their creativity with
the freedoms they want it to carry by default. The license is an
invitation to others to ask for permission for uses beyond those
given by default. A "Noncommercial" license does not mean the creator
would never take money for his or her creativity. It means simply,
"Ask if you want to make a commercial use. No need to ask if you want
to make just a noncommercial use."

We launched Creative Commons in December, 2002. Within a year, we
counted over 1,000,000 link-backs to our licenses. At a year and a
half, that number was over 1,800,000. At two, the number was just
about 5,000,000. At two and a half years (last June), the number was
just over 12,000,000. And today -- three months later -- Yahoo!
reports over 50,000,000 link-backs to our licenses. "Link-backs" are
not really a count of how many objects are licensed under Creative
Commons licenses - a single license could cover 100,000 songs in a
music database for example, or a single blog might have multiple
instances of the license. But the growth does measure something: The
uptake of Creative Commons licenses is growing fast, and indeed, far
faster than I ever dreamed."

From: Lawrence Lessig <lessig@pobox.com >

Subject: [cc-info] CC in Review: Lawrence Lessig on Supporting the Commons
To: cc-info@lists.ibiblio.org

So today, Creative Commons launches its first fund raising campaign.
Until now, we've lived on very generous grants from some very wise
foundations. But the IRS doesn't allow nonprofits to live such
favored lives for long. To maintain our nonprofit status, the IRS
says we must meet a "public support test" -- which means we must
demonstrate that our support comes from more than a few foundations.
And thus, this campaign.

This email is a pitch, asking for your support. But it is also the
first in a series of emails I will write explaining what Creative
Commons is, and where we're going with it. This is something I should
have done long ago. There have been many thoughtful (even if some not
so thoughtful) questions raised about who we are, and where we're
going. I've wanted an excuse to answer them thoughtfully before. The
IRS has given me that excuse.

You're on this list because you've signed up to receive information
about Creative Commons or been a friend to CC in the past. If these
weekly emails from me (from now until Christmas, around 500 words in
length, except for this one which is a bit long) will be a bother,
please unsubscribe at
http://creativecommons.org/about/newsletter#unsubscribe .
Alternatively, if you know others who might find these interesting,
please recommend they sign up at
http://creativecommons.org/about/newsletter.

This first email won't have much news to current friends of Creative
Commons. You probably know all this. My aim in this initial missive
is to explain what Creative Commons is, and why we launched it. There
will be some bragging about what we've accomplished so far. Don't
worry, these emails are from me, and not a press department. There
will be plenty of self-criticism later on. For the moment, let's
focus on the positive idea that got CC going.

CC: The Story

Creative Commons was conceived in a conversation I had with Eric
Eldred. I was representing Eric in his case challenging the United
States Congress' Copyright Term Extension Act. Eric was enthusiastic
about the case, but not optimistic about the results. Early on, he
asked me whether there was a way that we could translate the energy
that was building around his case into something positive. Not an
attack on copyright, but a way of using copyright to support, in
effect, the public domain.

I readily agreed, not so much because I had a plan, but because,
naive lawyer that I was, I thought we'd win the case, and Eric would
forget the dream. But nonetheless, long before the Supreme Court
decided to hear Eldred's plea, a bunch of us had put together the
plan to build the Creative Commons.

We stole the basic idea from the Free Software Foundation -- give
away free copyright licenses. Because copyright is property, the law
requires that you get permission before you "use" a copyrighted work,
unless that use is a "fair use." The particular kind of "use" that
requires permission is any use within the reach of the exclusive
rights that copyright grants. In the physical world, these "exclusive
rights" leave lots unregulated by copyright. For example, in the real
world, if you read a book, that's not a "fair use" of the book. It is
an unregulated use of the book, as reading does not produce a copy
(except in the brain, but don't tell the lawyers).

But in cyberspace, there's no way to "use" a work without
simultaneously making a "copy." In principle, and again, subject to
fair use, any use of a work in cyberspace could be said to require
permission first. And it is that feature (or bug, depending upon your
perspective) that was the hook we used to get Creative Commons going.

The idea (again, stolen from the FSF) was to produce copyright
licenses that artists, authors, educators, and researchers could use
to announce to the world the freedoms that they want their creative
work to carry. If the default rule of copyright is "all rights
reserved," the express meaning of a Creative Commons license is that
only "some rights [are] reserved." For example, copyright law gives
the copyright holder the exclusive right to make "copies" of his or
her work. A Creative Commons license could, in effect, announce that
this exclusive right was given to the public.

Which freedoms the licenses offer is determined both by us (deciding
which freedoms are important to secure through CC licenses) and by
the creator who selects from the options we make available on our
website. The basic components have historically been four: (1)
Attribution (meaning the creator requires attribution as a condition
of using his or her creative work), (2) NonCommercial (meaning the
creator allows only noncommercial uses of his or her work), (3) No
Derivatives (meaning the creator asks that the work be used as is,
and not as the basis for something else), and (4) Share Alike
(meaning any derivative you make using the licensed work must also be
released under a Share Alike license).

These four options -- when each is an option -- produce 11 possible
licenses. But when we saw that 98% of our adopters chose the
"attribution" requirement, we decided to drop attribution as an
option. That means we now offer 6 core licenses:

(1) Attribution (use the work however you like, but give me attribution)
(2) Attribution-ShareAlike (use the work however you like, but give
me attribution, and license any derivative under a Share Alike license)
(3) Attribution-NoDerivatives (use the work as is, and give me
attribution)
(4) Attribution-NonCommercial (use the work for noncommercial
purposes, and give me attribution)
(5) Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives (use the work for
noncommercial purposes, as is, and with attribution)
(6) Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (use the work for
noncommercial purposes, give me attribution, and license any
derivative under a ShareAlike license)

(We also offer a couple of other specialty licenses that I'll
describe in a later post).

These options get added to a basic template license. That template
assures that the creator (1) retains his or her copyright, (2)
affirms that any fair use, first sale, or free expression rights are
not affected by the CC license, and (3) so long as the adopter
respects the conditions the creator has imposed, the license gives
anyone in the world four freedoms: (i) to copy the work, (ii) to
distribute the work, (iii) to display or publicly perform the work,
and (iv) to make a digital public performance of the work (i.e.,
webcasting). Finally, the license also requires the adopter to (1)
get permission for any uses outside of those granted, (2) keep any
copyright notices intact, (3) link to the license, (4) not alter the
license terms, and (5) not use technology (i.e., DRM) to restrict a
licensee's rights under the license.

The licenses give creators a simple way to mark their creativity with
the freedoms they want it to carry by default. The license is an
invitation to others to ask for permission for uses beyond those
given by default. A "Noncommercial" license does not mean the creator
would never take money for his or her creativity. It means simply,
"Ask if you want to make a commercial use. No need to ask if you want
to make just a noncommercial use."

We launched Creative Commons in December, 2002. Within a year, we
counted over 1,000,000 link-backs to our licenses. At a year and a
half, that number was over 1,800,000. At two, the number was just
about 5,000,000. At two and a half years (last June), the number was
just over 12,000,000. And today -- three months later -- Yahoo!

music database for example, or a single blog might have multiple
instances of the license. But the growth does measure something: The
uptake of Creative Commons licenses is growing fast, and indeed, far
faster than I ever dreamed.

Next week: What problems did we aim to solve and what examples from
the past did we learn from.
