PCWorld has published

an article called Blogging Across America, which is fine and great except that the site the author built is NOT a weblog. “Weblog” is not just the newfangled name for a personal website. It is a specific form of personal site, a subset of all the different kinds of personal site one could maintain. Within the category there are almost innumerable options – but at base, chronological organization is essential, and I would say links and commentary on those links as well.

Breaking news

Breaking news

from the US Ninth Circuit: it affirmed a lower court’s ruling in favour of Grokster in MGM v Grokster. The EFF represented Streamcast (makers of Morpheus P2P software) and Fred von Lohmann has also an analysis of what the court found. “…perhaps most important, the Court observed that, in the long run, a competive, unfettered market for innovation ends up helping copyright owners (even if it doesn’t help today’s entertainment industry oligopolists).” Good stuff all around.

They must really hate him:

Ted Kennedy was put on the “no fly” watchlist and was actually prevented from boarding a plane. Even for a US Senator it took several weeks to have his name stricken from the list. If an activist got on the list in error I bet it would take a LOT more than that.
