Adding DRM to off-line viewing of videos is new, but for the typical scenario of online viewing of Flash videos via a Flash player embedded in a HTML page, the ability to force ad viewing is nothing new. It's always been easy to roll a Flash video play that doesn't allow skipping or scrubbing through the video ad, but then enables that feature once the main video begins. Many sites that feature Flash video do exactly that.
> Will this not make it much easier for crackpots with agendas to spread bogus/bullshit scientific "facts"?
I don't think so. The Creative Commons idea doesn't affect peer-review, reputation, etc., that are the bedrock of legitimate scientific publications. What it will do is make it easier for crackpots (and the rest of us) to read significant scientific publications.
This makes me think, there must be piles of academic and government-funded data out there free for the taking. Sure would be nice if there was some central listing of sources of free data. Anyone ever come across anything like that?
I'm no attorney, but in reading the ruling I get the impression that it's possible to make this same appeal, directly to the Supreme Court. Is that correct, or is this ruling by the Appeals Court the end of the line?
Not taking anything away from iPodder, but I've been using a great little app called Replay Radio for a year or so to grab my favorite web radio programs and save them as MP3s, which I then dump into my iPod. Product details here

IJWTS that Lawrence Lessing gave a fine interview on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" this past Tuesday. More info, and the interview in RealAudio format, here.
Yeah, cocksucker, I've done all of that. Suffered through her one hit back in the day. Have "listened" to several of her albums. Saw her a few months back as a matter of fact, at a place called The Point in Bryn Mawr, PA. Completely fucking forgetable. Deal with it.
This java applet is cool, but the Eames original "Powers of Ten" is a much better work...the narrative adds to the understanding of the images. You can learn much more about the original (and order it on CD-ROM) and the Eames Office sub-site, powersoften.com

Just want to say that if you like/liked Webmonkey, you may also like A List Apart.
And three arms. He grew it just for me, and it took him six months, but he says it was worth it.
Geez, two years to decide to change your name from Palm to PalmOne. I am soooo in the wrong business.
Merci.
I've said it before and I say it again, the SubGenius must have slack!
