  • John Dvorak on Creative Commons: Will this nonsense ever end?

    Derek says John Dvorak reachs a new low in his latest uninformed rant which, considering his past, is quite impressive. John Dvorak continues to impress me with his ability to completely misrepresent issues. He brings new meaning to FUD. Why PC Magazine continues to employ him is beyond me. Like Derek...

  • FECA and Commercial Skipping

    As Fred reports , the Copyright Office's position is that FECA will not legalize commercial skipping. Their position is that the commercials are separate motion pictures, and thus "skipping the entirety of an ad would go beyond the extent of the bill's authority of making limited portions imperceptible...
