Expand Fair Use: Apparently we're going to invade Antigua, next
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/01/apparently-were-going-to-invade-antigua.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. Apparently we're going to invade Antigua, next. Torrentfreak reports that Antigua is moving ahead. Kinda interesting, eh? Turns out it is basically in retaliation for the U.S. using its leverage to destroy the Antiguan online gambling industry. But still, I don't care. The reason we're seeing a nasty multi national treaty. Being bulldozed through national governments everywhere is that because of the internet, if you want to create "intellectual property" you need to get every.

Expand Fair Use: hacking is good
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/03/hacking-is-good.html
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. It's official, America is technically fucked. Check out this post on Slashdot:. Http:/ it.slashdot.org/story/13/03/20/1520218/botnet-uses-default-passwords-to-conduct-internet-census-2012. A researcher did a massive internet scan for default password devices, and actually had the nerve to use. Used to be, he would be a hax0r hero. But look at the slavish posts on Slashdot. "That's illegal! You're SO going to jail! With that kind of attitude, you can't. Oh my God I assure you...

Expand Fair Use: reselling mp3's (part 2)
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/04/reselling-mp3s-part-2.html
Thursday, April 4, 2013. Reselling mp3's (part 2). We talked about this not too long ago here on this blog. In fact, I just looked over that post and it's pretty much the same rant I was about to make today. After 250 posts I've found that indeed, I have run out of arguments. Suffice to say for now that, once again, data. Trying to treat it like actual stuff. Was completely, utterly, wasted. The whole idea is ludicrous. For example, presumably, when you "resell" and mp3 you "bought" you must make sur...

Expand Fair Use: Injecting into your internet
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/02/injecting-into-your-internet.html
Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Injecting into your internet. I'm sorry I haven't been blogging on a daily basis. I'm not going to kid you- I'm finding it to be a challenge to write about 365 reasons why it's a great idea to expand fair use. It looks like I started to run out of non-repetitive ammo at only about 200 reasons. I'm not going away though, so I hope you'll stick around. It might just be that I'll post when I think I have something worthwhile to say. Surely that's not so bad? When I type in the U...

Expand Fair Use: What is new?
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/08/what-is-new.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. I came across this video on facebook today:. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make it appear the characters of Sesame Street were jamming out a heavy metal song by Slayer. From the stupid point of view, the video creator is plagiarizing both Slayer and Sesame Street, and obviously should go to jail and be fined a million dollars. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Expand Fair Use: What is it you own again?
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-is-it-you-own-again.html
Monday, April 15, 2013. What is it you own again? This isn't a new theme in this space- indeed, I think I've covered all the available themes a few times over. But when you purchase "digital goods", you don't really "own" anything. A recent Slashdot thread. I'm far more enamored with services like Pandora which do not make any pretense of you're "buying" anything. But everywhere else it's all "buy this, own it today! Which is quite simply a damn lie. Any money spent to "purchase" digital "goods" is wasted.

Expand Fair Use: This is how you run a language
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2013/12/this-is-how-you-run-language.html
Wednesday, December 11, 2013. This is how you run a language. Norway is digitizing all their books:. Http:/ www.theverge.com/2013/12/11/5199472/norway-is-digitizing-all-its-books-and-making-them-free-to-read-online? This is what it looks like when you're serious. That's it. Just serious.

Expand Fair Use: Reselling mp3's
http://expandfairuse.blogspot.com/2012/10/reselling-mp3s.html
Saturday, October 6, 2012. If the title of this post seems totally insane to you, then congratulations, you understand digital media better than the people who make it. Is a web site that allows people to resell their mp3's. They are being sued. By the content industry for having the temerity to enable people to resell what they have purchased, legally. Layers upon layers of stupidity and insanity to wade through here, so I'll just have to do my best. Note that a service selling convenient access. It sho...
