The MTA’s answer to NYC’s free condom program
Grist is like the craggy old man with the one track mind. Except it’s about climate change, not some strange combination of sex, nostalgia, and Rush Limbaugh.
Google’s Chrome OS was revealed today. From Engadget’s coverage of the launch: “The entire system is web-based and runs in the Chrome browser - right down to USB drive contents, which show up in a browser tab, and the notepad, which actually creates a Google Docs document. Web apps are launched from a persistent apps panel, which includes Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and Hulu, among others, and background apps like Google Talk can be minimized to “panels” that dock to the bottom of the screen. Local storage is just used to speed up the system - everything actually lives in the cloud, so all it takes to swap or borrow machines is a login, and you’re good to go.” Also it’ll be required to run on SSDs and hardware will be GoogleOS-certified. Eek!
Alright, so I run a Web site named HackCollege. It’s a blog for college students. We’ve also produced video segments in the past.
While we could take the “We’re poor college students” approach to music and images, we have always tried to take the high road and never use copyrighted materials in our videos. Several of our videos have recently been invited to participate in the YouTube rev-sharing program.
There are some songs that a friend made for us as a favor. There was no record of the transaction other than a simple verbal conversation. He just had the tracks laying around and was just gave them to us. But because we don’t have a paper-trail tying the song rights to us, YouTube is punishing us. They invited and then subsequently denied us to the rev-sharing program. For using music, we are automatically viewed as potential criminals until we prove ourselves innocent (which I’m not sure quite how to do). The inadequate automation is hurting both YouTube and us (neither of us are making money on the video).
The video in question is the “How to Build a Homemade A/C.”
The DMCA is not to blame for this. In fact, the DMCA should prevent this problem. It’s the music labels who are doing this: they’ve forced YouTube into a preemptive strategy for resolving music conflicts in exchange for more favorable music licensing terms / no lawsuits.
I think even more to the point is that YouTube’s history with Viacom, and reliance on big ticket partners such as Universal Music Group for revenue generation are driving their policy: guilty until proven innocent. I’m basically saying the same thing as Mike but just singling out a couple key players/policymakers.
Visiting US President Barack Obama displays his skills in the Korean martial art of taekwondo at the presidential office in Seoul, South Korea on 19 November 2009. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak gave him a taekwondo uniform and black belt as a gift during his visit to the office for summit talks. Obama is known to have studied the martial art for four years from 2001, when he was a senator in Illinois. EPA/YONHAPNEWS AGENCY
