about What Ever Happened to the First Amendment?

Listen careful to the copyright notice on this football broadcast... You can't share your "account" this game without the NFL's consent.

What ever happened to "fair use?"

Check out Defend Fair Use, which is backed by the biggest software companies (Google, Microsoft, etc.). Here's part of a complaint they filed with the FTC:

Every time an American consumer opens a book, plays a DVD, or watches a wide range of broadcast programs he or she is confronted by strong language warning of what they are not allowed to do with that product. By design or effect, many of these warnings are misleading and harmful to millions of American consumers, customers, and businesses. These ubiquitous statements often include gross misrepresentations of federal law and characterize as unlawful acts that are explicitly permitted by law. Many such warnings forbid unauthorized copying and sharing of any part of their works, even when such copying or sharing is fair use and is permitted by law and in fact by the Constitution itself.

about last.fm is cool

about the biggest reason why I don't buy papers when I walk by a row of newspaper boxes is that I don't carry around spare change

"In the most earth-shattering shakeup of the newspaper box industry since the 2006 introduction of the giant newspaper dispensers, new machines at the Silver Spring Metro accept credit cards.

This is an exciting development, since the biggest reason why I don't buy papers when I walk by a row of newspaper boxes is that I don't carry around spare change."

about Netflix goes for phone over email support

Netflix goes for phone over email support

“Netflix set up shop [for its call center in Oregon] a year ago, shunning other lower-cost places in the United States and overseas, because it thought that Oregonians would present a friendlier voice to its customers. Then in July, Netflix took an unusual step for a Web-based company: it eliminated e-mail-based customer service inquiries. Now all questions, complaints and suggestions go to the Hillsboro call center, which is open 24 hours a day. The company’s toll-free number, previously buried on the Web site, is now prominently displayed.”

about MOVIE: "this is england"





this looks fun.

Foreign: This is England
After receiving accolades galore at a number of major film festivals, British director Shane Meadow's autobiographical film is receiving a limited one week run in D.C. starting on Friday. Based on his own experiences coming of age in the UK in the early 80's, This is England follows 12-year old Shaun, a target for bullies and lacking a father figure since the death of his own Dad in the Falklands, as he hooks up with a group of skinheads who take him under their wings. A disturbing look at both the adolescent search for a place to belong as well as a turbulent time in Britain, and by all accounts a film that is not to be missed.

View the trailer.
Playing at E Street Cinema for one week only, starting this Friday.

yesterday leslie, nick and I went to BarCampDC at Fleishman Hillards offices. If you dont know what barcamp is.. it is an unconference about technology and web development.. basically we had dcs tech community out in full force teaching and networking with everyone.. I presented a session on user experience to a packed room of people with Samantha Warren. I interviewed her when I was at OgilvyPR and she is now on my old team. Cindy Li my new scrapblog partner in crime, Martin and Alex from Nclud, Justin Thorp, Viget Labs and the rest of the social media club were in attendance.
