<p>I have no recollection of what I’ve been doing in 1970, so it must have been on a future mission I haven’t embarked on yet:</p>
<p><a href="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/macupdate.jpg"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/macupdate.jpg" alt="MacUpdate" title="MacUpdate" width="533" height="578" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13957" /></a></p>
<p>I’m really looking forward to finding out how I will access MacUpdate with an IBM System/370, though.

<p>Hey, SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/<a rel="external" class="external" href="http://infojustice.org/archives/9256">TPP</a>, how about taking care of <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.core77.com/blog/business/joseph_joseph_wins_important_battle_in_the_design_piracy_war_22191.asp">ACTUAL problems</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>A company called Ningbo John and five of its subsidiaries not only blatantly copied Joseph Joseph’s <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.josephjoseph.com/plastic-chopping-boards/index-advance">Index Chopping Board</a>, but went so far as to patent it in China, claiming they owned both the design and the brand name. The ballsy step was followed by Ningbo John then producing the knockoff and selling it around the world, earning millions of ill-gotten dollars.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/0jjichbo.jpg"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/0jjichbo.jpg" alt="Joseph Joseph&#039;s Index Chopping Board" title="Joseph Joseph&#039;s Index Chopping Board" width="468" height="468" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13941" /></a></p>
<p>There’s more!</p>
<blockquote><p><span class="straight">[“T]</span>his was the first time <span class="straight">[a Chinese company]</span> dared to register our design and brand name as their own,&#8221; explained Managing Director Richard Joseph. &#8220;When we challenged them on it they actually threatened to sue us because the products were ‘their’ design! They claimed to customers that they owned the design registration and brand name and therefore could sell the copies, which is just a blatant lie.”</p></blockquote>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Oh wait, I know—SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/TPP supporters are just too busy stripping authors’ rights on behalf of marauding content industries, cracking filesharers’ skulls, and generally holding us back as a species. It’s like a reenactment of the LAPD from the 90s.</p>
<p>On an side note: <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.amazon.de/Joseph-Index-Schneidebretter-Set-passenden-Messern/dp/B0038BSL90/">I wants it.</a> My precciouss.

		<description><![CDATA[Wo die Demonstration zum “Silencing the Democratic Process” und die Demokratie zur „Tyrannei der Masse“ umgemünzt wird, ist auch die Okkupation der „Öffentlichkeit“ nicht weit.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_117" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 293px"><a href="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bravenewtexts.jpg"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bravenewtexts.jpg" alt="brave new texts" title="brave new texts" width="283" height="230" class="size-full wp-image-117" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">brave new texts</p></div>
<p>Wo die Demonstration zum <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://boingboing.net/2012/02/16/record-industry-lobby-attains.html">“Silencing the Democratic Process”</a> und die Demokratie zur <a rel="shadowbox" class="slide" href="http://mlkshk.com/r/EIYO">„Tyrannei der Masse“</a> umgemünzt wird, ist auch die Okkupation der „Öffentlichkeit“ nicht weit.</p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Die erklärten Unterstützungen von ACTA, der „Offene Brief“ der 51 Tatort-Autoren, die aktuelle Ausgabe des „<em>Handelsblatt</em>“: all dies bildet, wie aus gut unterrichteten Kreisen verlautet, lediglich den Auftakt für einen konzertierten — und aus massiver gepoolter Kriegskasse finanzierten — Propagandafeldzug als Kampagnenjournalismus für die „Besetzung“ der medialen Öffentlichkeit: </p>
<div id="attachment_13870" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/urheberrecht-hundert-kreative-provozieren-die-netzpiraten/6482104.html"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/handelsblatt.png" alt="Handelsblatt" title="Handelsblatt" width="590" height="175" class="size-full wp-image-13870" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(durchklicken zum Artikel und wieder hierher zurückkommen)</p></div>
<p>Unter diesen sogenannten „100 Kreativen“ im „<em>Handelsblatt</em>“-Artikel sind 47 Manager, acht Politiker und acht Lobbyisten, die sich ungeniert als Urheber gerieren, und selbst der Rest ist aufgemogelt aus kreativen Berufsgruppen, die mit dem Urheberrecht außer ideologischen Volley-Vorlagen keine substantiellen Berührungspunkte haben. Und die „Meinungen“ dieser „Kreativen“, die eben mehrheitlich gar keine Kreativen sind, sondern trollende Vertreter von Verwertern, sind eigentlich auch keine Meinungen, sondern Beschimpfungen in der Schwergewichtsklasse, und nach der Lektüre muß ich sagen: so schlimm hätte ich es mir vorgestellt, wenn ich es für möglich gehalten hätte. Und gleichzeitig erfüllen diese „Meinungen“ perfekt ihre Aufgabe als bekannte &#038; beliebte Variante des <a rel="external" class="wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy#Proof_by_verbosity"><em>Proof by Verbosity</em></a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><span class="straight">[A]</span> rhetorical technique that tries to persuade by overwhelming those considering an argument with such a volume of material that the argument sounds plausible, superficially appears to be well-researched, and it is so laborious to untangle and check supporting facts that the argument might be allowed to slide by unchallenged.</p></blockquote>
<p>Aber wir haben Ressourcen. Und wir haben <a rel="external" class="wiki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Kramm">Bruno Kamm</a>. Der hat sich durch die „<em>Handelsblatt</em>“-Kommentare der „Kreativen“ gekämpft und jeden einzelnen davon beantwortet. Wenn ihr nur einen einzigen Artikel zum Verleger- und Verwerter-Blitzkrieg lest — und es gibt jede Menge, die sich lohnen — dann lest diesen:</p>
<blockquote><p><a rel="external" class="external" href="http://brunokramm.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/kommentar-zu-den-100-kopfen/">„Kommentar zu den 100 Köpfen“</a> von Bruno Kramm</p></blockquote>
<p>Das zweite Dokument, das <em>jeder</em> lesen sollte, der zu dem Thema etwas sagen möchte, ist unser</p>
<blockquote><p><a rel="external" class="pdf" href="http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/wiki/images/0/07/UrhG_Arguments_FassungBPT2011-2.pdf">Urheberrechtsprogramm der Piratenpartei Deutschland</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Und allen, die noch ein bißchen tiefer in die Materie eindringen wollen, lege ich <a rel="external" class="wiki" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_Felix_Weyh">Florian Felix Weyhs</a> Artikel „Geistiges Eigentum und die Entwicklung der Kommunikationstechnik, Teil 1: Vom Buchdruck zu den Copyright-Industries (<em>Leviathan</em> Zeitschrift für Sozialwissenschaften 4/1993, 517–539) und „Teil II: Mein und Dein im weißen Rauschen“ (<em>Leviathan</em>, 1/1994, 94–114) ans Herz (Hat Tip <a rel="external" class="twitter" href="http://twitter.com/siggibecker">@siggibecker</a> und <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://twitter.com/timbruysten">@timbruysten</a>). Als Gesamt-PDF zu finden hier: </p>
<blockquote><p><a rel="external" class="pdf" href="http://www.weyhsheiten.de/pdf/Geistiges_Eigentum_Florian_Felix_Weyh.pdf">„Geistiges Eigentum und die Entwicklung der Kommunikationstechnik“</a> von <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.weyh.info/">Florian Felix Weyh</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Abschließend — wer sich fragt, warum das „<em>Handelsblatt</em>“ durchgehend in Anführungszeichen gesetzt ist: Publikationen, die die elementaren Grundsätze des Journalismus keinen nennenswerten Einfluß auf ihr Berufsverhalten nehmen lassen, und die ihre gesellschaftlich-kulturelle Rolle nicht als <a rel="external" class="wiki" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vierte_Gewalt">Vierte Gewalt</a> verstehen, sondern als plump dekorierter Schalltrichter für Lobbyisten und Industrieinteressen, haben sich ihre Anführungszeichen redlich verdient. Und wenn es nach deren Willen geht, werden wir „Demokratie“ bald ebenfalls in Anführungszeichen setzen können.

<p><a rel="external" class="external" href="http://motherboard.vice.com/2012/4/4/motherboard-tv-william-gibson-in-real-life">Motherboard TV: William Gibson in Real Life</a></p>
<p>William Gibson ranks among my favorite writers, <em>Neuromancer</em> tops my personal <a rel="internal" class="internal" href="http://betweendrafts.com/2011/10/08/sunday-question-which-science-fiction-novels-and-story-collections-had-the-greatest-impact-on-you/">Greatest-Impact Science Fiction Novels</a> list, and in my <a rel="internal" class="internal" href="http://betweendrafts.com/drafts/academic/2/">doctoral thesis</a> I wrote extensively about his work up to and including <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.librarything.com/work/610/book/9016649"><em>Pattern Recognition</em></a> as representative of cyberpunk, a genre Fredric Jameson once called, somewhat ambiguously, the “supreme literary expression if not of postmodernism, then of late capitalism itself” (<em>Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism.</em> Durham: Duke UP, 1991. 419n1).</p>
<p>Writing my thesis, I had to draw a line somewhere, and I included everything published prior to fall 2006 by authors and critics relevant to my subject matter (i.&nbsp;e., violence in postmodern American literature and literary criticism). And the only way I could handle that was: I had to temporarily stop reading many of my favorite writers altogether! And, as of today, I’m still busy catching up. I still have to read Gibson’s <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.librarything.com/work/2380436/book/48791254"><em>Spook Country</em></a> and <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.librarything.com/work/8445628/book/72764670"><em>Zero History</em></a>, I’m halfway through Thomas Pynchon’s <em>Against the Day</em>, with <em>Inherent Vice</em> and Robert Coover’s <em>Noir</em> looming on the horizon. Then there’s John Barth’s <em>The Development</em> and <em>Every Third Thought: A Novel in Five Seasons</em>—though I’m not sure about these (blurps and reviews aren’t exactly encouraging). From Donald Barthelme, a third volume of collected stories has been published all of which I already own from previous collections, and, sadly, nothing new has popped up posthumously from Kathy Acker so far. That’s the authors—I haven’t checked the critics yet!</p>
<p>And of course there are other books on my priority list, notably Paolo Bacigalupi’s <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.librarything.com/work/8585029/details/84564648"><em>The Windup Girl</em></a>, heartily recommended by my friend <a rel="external" class="facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1384413768">Afonso</a>. Plus, I have to admit, I’m mightily tempted to read Suzanne Collins’s <em>The Hunger Games</em> trilogy after reading so much about it (and about the movie which I really liked) at <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.tor.com/tags/the%20hunger%20games">Tor.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_125" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 293px"><a href="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/plushbunnyisms.jpg"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/plushbunnyisms.jpg" alt="plush bunnyisms" title="plush bunnyisms" width="283" height="230" class="size-full wp-image-125" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">plush bunnyisms</p></div>
<p>Gute Bunny-News (Pinterest), traurige Bunny-News (Thistle). Alle kleinen Stoffhäschen drücken die Pfötchen.</p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Zuerst die guten Bunny-News: das <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://pinterest.com/simone_ewenz/bunnys/">Bunny Board von Simone Ewenz</a> auf <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://pinterest.com/gyokusai/">Pinterest</a>, gefunden via <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://pinterest.com/markusvonroder/">Markus</a>. Mein Favorit bislang, “Dust Bunny”:</p>
<div id="attachment_13768" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 570px"><a href="http://cuteoverload.com/2010/10/26/and-from-the-dust-the-bunnies-shall-rise/"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/dustbunny.png" alt="Dust Bunny" title="Dust Bunny" width="560" height="417" class="size-full wp-image-13768" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">“And from the Dust, the Bunnies Shall Rise”</p></div>
<p>(Original auf <a href="http://cuteoverload.com/2010/10/26/and-from-the-dust-the-bunnies-shall-rise/"><em>cute overload</em></a>)</p>
<p>Die traurigen Bunny-News: Thistle (bisher zu Thistle siehe <a rel="internal" class="internal" href="http://betweendrafts.com/2010/12/05/stoffhaeschen-sonntag-15/">hier</a> und <a rel="internal" class="internal" href="http://betweendrafts.com/2011/05/29/stoffhaeschen-sonntag-19/">hier</a>):</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/canislatrans/status/181259676497870848"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/thistle.jpg" alt="Thistle" title="Thistle" width="590" height="256" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13770" /></a></p>
<p>Nicht allerdings, daß das etwas Neues wäre: wie viele Leben hat ein Hase? Zu Thistle’s sechs oder sieben Leben Chris’ must-read Blogpost, <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://faultline.org/site/item/thistle_again/">“Thistle, Again”</a> vom Januar auf <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://faultline.org/"><em>Coyote Crossing</em></a>. Kostprobe:</p>
<blockquote><p>A rabbit is an abundantly self-replicating machine designed to turn plant material into turds. It’s what they do, except when they don’t and then they die instead. Shut down a rabbit’s digestive tract for more than a couple days and it’ll never start up again. It is my job to keep that fire lit, and to that end I have been shoveling fuel into him like a locomotive fireman with a pile of cilantro-flavored coal.</p></blockquote>
<p>There’s more. <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://faultline.org/site/item/thistle_again/">Go and read</a>!</p>
<p><span class="important">Update:</span> <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://faultline.org/site/item/desperately_hope_im_wrong_about_this">”Desperately hope I’m wrong about this.”</a> Yes, let’s hope.<br />

<p>„Die Presse- und Rundfunkfreiheit ist für den Bundespräsidenten ein hohes Gut. Er hat deshalb zu den Krediten für sein Eigenheim und zu Urlaubsaufenthalten Transparenz hergestellt, Erklärungen abgegeben und mehrere Hundert Medienanfragen beantwortet. Über Vieraugengespräche und Telefonate gibt der Bundespräsident aber grundsätzlich keine Auskunft.“<br />
—Aus einer schriftlichen Erklärung Wulffs vom 2. Januar 2012</p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Nachdem der <del datetime="2012-01-04T18:28:10+00:00">mittlerweile zurückgetretenene</del> deutsche Bundespräsident Christian Wulff namhaften Vertretern presseähnlicher Angebote telephonisch mit der Auflösung <del datetime="2012-01-04T18:28:10+00:00">der Verlobung</del> des guten Verhältnisses <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://www.fr-online.de/politik/wulff-droht-journalisten-kriegserklaerung-auf-dem-anrufbeantworter,1472596,11381202.html">gedroht hat</a>, um <del datetime="2012-01-04T18:28:10+00:00">die Schufa-Auskunft</del> eine Berichterstattung über seine Kredite zu verhindern, gab er nun ein Interview für ARD und ZDF, das „Sperrfristen“ unterliegt, aber von einem dieser presseähnlichen Angebote in Auszügen vorab veröffentlicht werden durfte. Schon nicht schlecht. (Das Interview als mp3 gibt es hier auf <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://netzpolitik.org/2012/preview-das-wulff-interview-als-audio/"><em>Netzpolitik</em></a>.)</p>
<p>Besonders aufgefallen ist mir dieses interessante Sätzchen:</p>
<blockquote><p>„Der Bundespräsident hat bestritten, er wollte Berichte über sich verhindern. Er habe sie nur aufhalten wollen.“ </p></blockquote>
<p>Diese Verteidigung erinnert mich an einen Satz von Franz Josef Strauß, dem ich vor langer Zeiten in einer Doku zur <a rel="external" class="wiki" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiegel-Affäre"><em>Spiegel</em>-Affäre</a> begegnete, und das mir seitdem nie wieder aus dem Kopf ging. In der <em>Spiegel</em>-Affäre, wir erinnern uns, wurde versucht, die Pressefreiheit über den Vorwurf des Landesverrats und das Erlassen von Haftbefehlen gegen Redakteure einzuschränken, und das alles unter nicht vollständig gesetzeskonformer „Zusammenarbeit“ zwischen Politik und Justiz. Im Rahmen dieser Affaire wurde der damalige Verteidigungsminister Franz Josef Strauß <del datetime="2012-01-04T18:28:10+00:00">noch gründlicher als gewöhnlich</del> beim Lügen erwischt, was zu seinem Rücktritt führte. Und hier fiel in einem Interview dieses denkwürdige Zitat:</p>
<blockquote><p>„Ich habe nicht gelogen, ich habe nur bewußt die Unwahrheit gesagt.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Es scheint, als gebe es unter Politikern einen argumentativen Trend bei der Rechtfertigung von Angriffen auf die Pressefreiheit, der sich linguistisch beschreiben und kodifizieren ließe.</p>
<p>Zum Abschluß eine Stellungnahme vom bekannten deutschen Mundart- und Brauchtumsforscher Oliver Kalkofe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_12784" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 293px"><a href="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/short-stroke.jpg"><img src="http://betweendrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/short-stroke.jpg" alt="Short Stroke" title="short stroke" width="283" height="230" class="size-full wp-image-12784" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">short stroke</p></div>
<p><strong>Short Strokes:</strong><br />
Spontane Einträge<br />
<em>social · mobile · real-time</em><br />
off the top of my head.</p>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Aus der Stellenanzeige für den Posten eines Creative Directors (m/w) für eine Hamburger Agentur, deren hochmotiviertes Expertenteam langjährige Online-Erfahrung, Kreativität, Flexibilität und die Integration modernster Webtechnologie zu seinen Stärken zählt, die mit ihrem neuen Geschäftsmodell im Bereich „datengetriebene Online-Werbung“ eine Vorreiterrolle in Deutschland und Europa anstrebt und dafür engagierte Mitarbeiter sucht, die in einem jungen Team Teil ihrer Erfolgsgeschichte werden wollen:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ihre Aufgaben:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fachliche und disziplinarische Leitung eines Teams</li>
<li>Konzeption und Gestaltung von anspruchsvollen Werbemitteln</li>
<li>Entwicklung von neuen Banner-Formaten und Weiterentwicklung von neuen, innovativen, Banner-Templates</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Alles klar, innovative Zeichensetzung inbegriffen. Und als Bonus aus der erheblich umfangreicheren Profilanforderung, nach dem Motto: „So lange ich Online-Banner mache, kommt mir keine TexterIn ins Haus“:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mehrjährige Erfahrung in namenhaften oder internationalen Agenturen</p></blockquote>
<p>Schauderhafter Scherz beiseite — für das Geschäftsmodell im Bereich „datengetriebene Online-Werbung“ gilt sicherlich: <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.werbeblogger.de/2011/05/10/yes-i-love-you-too-data-love-auf-der-next11/"><em>Wir sind nicht die Daten, die Sie suchen</em></a>. Des weiteren gab es die Tage einen interessanten Artikel zur Entwicklung von Werbeagenturen auf <em>Business Insider</em> von George Parker: <a rel="external" class="external" href="http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-22/news/30545733_1_newer-agencies-agency-clients">“Advertising Firms Need To Be Downsized Before They Become Too Dumb For Their Own Good”</a>. Während ich Parkers Diagnose weitgehend teile, teile ich nicht vollständig seine Überlegungen zur Kur. Ich denke, es bedarf wesentlich radikalerer Ansätze, die noch weiter und bis hin zu den archaischen Anfängen von Werbung zurückreichen, um auf dieser Basis neue, <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.werbeblogger.de/2010/11/29/twaa10-kongress-the-world-after-advertising/">vernetzungsfreundliche</a> und <a rel="me related" class="external" href="http://www.werbeblogger.de/2009/12/02/die-fuenfte-wand-kein-recht-auf-welt-und-weissraum/">weißraumfähige</a> Kommunikationsmodelle für unser Leben in der digitalen Zukunft zu entwerfen.
