Boy do I wish I had that kind of upload pipe. - shitton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12at least it's not the RIAA putting it out
I can see it now...
"Copyright and You. How We Make Money." - Travelsonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Reading comments from people who don't properly use terms like anarchy is even more tiring.
- oo7akbnd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9It briefly mentions Creative Commons on page 30 of the PDF.
That's better than nothing.. - Obligation, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11RTFA. The entire point of it was to explain how great they though it was that it was giving a fair amount of information about fair use. Even the guy who was critical of the book called it "...a genuine effort to present a balanced view."
- tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Anarchy? I don't think that word means what you think it does.
- ToadLeg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6They should explain privacy and why copyrights and patents should exclude personal communication: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-254173628 ...
- nakile, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5They should also explain the Creative Commons and other open licenses.
- shark72, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I read through the booklet. While it naturally has an anti-piracy, pro-artist stance, overall it was accurate and avoided the "all copyrighted information must be paid for" or "no downloading of any copyrighted content is allowed" traps. What about the booklet most struck you as "drivel" ?
- williamdyer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4To police-state goons, anything other than a police state is anarchy.
- Ratteler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wash those brains good and drown them before they can think.
Stop corporate piracy of our public domain. - shig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ship the English copies to China, and they'll have a Chinese version within hours.
- Skooma714, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Luckily pirates have this to counteract it:

- MerryMortician, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I'll have my 7 year old daughter download the torrent for this when she gets a chance
- offspring06, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4What are they teaching kids to obey their corporate masters?
- Mithrander, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2buried for use of comic sans font.
- Travelsonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No, it means they need to either look harder, or somebody should make a better font. It doesn't make a blanket statement like yours any less *****.
- pu-z, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2A whole book written in Comic Sans. Ewwwwww!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+6Oh, I'm sure it's "fair and balanced". It certainly doesn't sound like there's adequate treatment of fair use from the description in the article.
On a related note -- Don't Copy that Floppy! http://tinyurl.com/8op73 - Atomic1fire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://viewer.zoho.com/docs/rbdbpU (zoho viewer+this pdf)
when web2.0 comes in handy - QuickeningYak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Why ?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I did read the article, as well as the quotes about fair use, I was unimpressed. I noticed that the actual booklet was linked -- still unimpressed.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Sorry, but you CAN'T have an anti-piracy message thats also pro-artist!
The artists are already getting royally screwed by the labels that signed them up, the ONLY way to support the artists is to rip their stuff off so the labels and industry as a whole has to develop a new model that rewards those that keep the entire industry afloat (the artists) while not treating the consumers as scum waiting to bend over and take the limited choices and high prices in deep with no KY. - Skooma714, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2***** double posted
- sweetwood76, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I think I just puked my pureed peaches and prunes
- solid12345, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Using comic sans as a font is just more proof that paying for the rights to use Helvetica is smarter than going the "free and public domain" route.
- solid12345, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0My experience is there is very few decent "free" fonts. Typefaces like frutiger, Helvetica, Bodoni, and the like have stood the test of time. They are worth every penny you pay for.
- Skooma714, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1Lucky we have this to counteract it:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3AzpByR3MvI - crash128, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1I like how they tried to introduce art & artists to kids. But 72 pages? But copyright law? Here, let me take a crack at it...
1. Don't use other people's art without their permission.
(for example, you can't use a Genesis song as a background track on your youtube video, without their permission, which they will never ever ever actually give you).
2. There are exceptions (music over, what, 100 years old for example). But you will never use them.
For the love of dear goodness, it is such a convoluted legal blackhole that one should just stay away from it as much as one can. - nodong, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1Anarchy is getting so boring...
