Divining the Future of Internet Law

Mansing writes: "In his last Cyber Law Journal (New York Times, registration required, etc.), Carl Kaplan has captured a collection of insights from the like of Dr. Larry Lessig and Dr. James Boyle. Each one of these correspondents brings a slightly different, and sometimes humorous, view of what legal challenges and legal decisions may face the users of technology in the next year."

Shouldn't that be "Defining"?

Actually I just wanted to stop the whining of "I cant be bothered to spend the time to make a fake password" posts that always go with a NYT article and the karma helps ;)

Butbutbut.. Information wants to be anthropomorphize..err, free..

Though i have to wonder how many hits the NYT lose on a daily basis because of their log-in policy. I don't go there, i'd rather get my news from CNN or ABCnews. Not because im morally opposed to the prospect of logging into a news site.. lets be honest, im just lazy.

From the bibliodot:
Book of the Wisdom of the Penguins

2:15 Learn this, young pedowan. Slashdot respects not law, nor power, nor those who wish to make money from their works, nor the good that intrensically comes from evil.

2:16 Slashdot is the counterculture. Feel with your heart, don't think with your head. Abolish 5,000 years of civilizations evolution to justify thyself as right.

2:17 Slashdot is the temple. The zealots and the faithful gather regularly and converse, yea, the zealots lead. Sensasionalism is their call, and welcome it they do;

2:18 Remove thyself from the restrictions of thy laws you see as unjust. For some laws will be unjust; yet, some laws will be just, and good for the many; yet those who wish not to let go of their purse in persuit of their gratification will call these laws evil, and unjust.

2:19 Thy enlightened ones shall have their posts marked as "offtopic", "Flamebait", or even "troll". These posts, which make thy brain spark, are against this new order; yet they are the basis of this new order.

So writes the penguin.

OT: Dissociative Identity Disorder, maybe

[schmelter_tim]

Sorry, personal interest topic. Mental health issues are not widely understood, so let me say that I'm not sure Sony (or any other company, for that matter) would be classified as "bipolar". In psychological terms, "bipolar" means

a major affective disorder in which an individual alternates between states of deep depression and extreme elation.

In other words, "manic-depressive". I don't see Sony as ever being depressive in its actions against Aibo hackers... :-)

You probably want some variation of: Dissociative Identity Disorder, or "Multiple Personality Disorder".
