Interview with Jim Griffin

Posted by michael on from the sound-off dept.

mpawlo writes "I just finished a Greplaw interview with Jim Griffin. Griffin, of Pholist fame, gives his thoughts on copyright and digital distribution of music. Learn also why copyright should be renamed copy risk. Griffin was once - at Geffen - behind the online release of a full-length song by Aerosmith. In 1994! He is, however, not a John Perry Barlow School of Thought devotee."

      Ron paid me $200 to let him masturbate to completion, but I only accepted $50. It was really an honor just being in his presence!

    Now I don't like MS as much as the next guy, but I have to ask myself if they put the same haphazard programming practices that go into their OS and PC apps into their embedded OS. Can they honestly push releases out unpatched and broken, and still maintain a market? As they don't seem to have that market as cornered, and customers require stability and usability over the newest-coolest-gotta-get-it features, wouldn't an unstable embedded OS simply NOT sell? Hmmm...

    Dinner was great yesterday. Your mom and I appreciated everything, but we're still puzzled over tacos being served instead of turkey. Oh well. See you at Christmas. Love, Dad
