pirates know distribution

pornographers know monetization

dean jansen’s come by to cook me pasta. he had earlier read my blog.

we talk radio and internet
it was dean and tim and christina and the free culture kids who organized a low power fm radio dance from harvard square to park street on the red line, tons of kids with headphones and radios all tuned to a transmitter in a backpack, dancing through the subway stations to music only they could hear. dynomite idea! they are going to do another in new york. dean says the signal from the transmitter snug in a backpack carries very well underground, shielded in the subway tunnel from the cacophony of radio signals in the air above.

he attended the is2k7 RIAA workshop and was disappointed at dug in contention
do you believe in kids breaking the law, and if not, why won’t you help us?
do you distinguish
between downloaders and uploaders?
what is university’s interest in protecting uploaders of complete verbatim copyrighted work?
what if technology could filter out such uploading?
would rights holders pay university costs?
would a noank system serve desire for open access and monetary return?

i want to organize a fred friendly panel in Second Life on RIAA v. University, each avatar around the table representing an interested constituency. We have Stanford going one way, Wisconscin going the other, and Ohio yet a third. i would like to embrace the contention and move it.
