Parents
of dying Iraqi children vent fury at Bush:
From Reuters-owned AlertNet, a news feed to the international disaster
relief community,
BAGHDAD, Oct 23 (Reuters) - If President George W. Bush believes that
ordinary Iraqis will welcome U.S. troops with open arms he may be in
for a rude surprise.
However much they fear to say what they think under the ruthless rule
of President Saddam Hussein, their feelings of deep-seated hatred towards
Bush are only too clear.
They see the United States as primarily responsible for the sanctions
that have destroyed their economy and the social fabric of their once-prosperous
lives, as well as leaving an estimated 1.6 million children dead and
many more stunted.
As much as the deprivation, they resent the humiliation of having been
driven back into an almost pre-industrial age.
Nowhere are these sentiments more in evidence than at the Mansour Hospital
for Children, where youngsters with cancer lie dying from what doctors
believe are the effects of the 1991 Gulf War.

Net luminaries turn for news: JD Lasica writes,
While over 100 online journalists descended on NYC last weekend for
the 3rd conference of the Online News Association, I headed up to Maine
to catch the 6th annual Pop!Tech affair. While there, I interviewed
some Net and tech heavy-hitters -- such as Jaron Lanier, Howard Rheingold,
Sherry Turkle and others -- about their online news habits.
Well, they don't come here. Some excerpts:
Cool guy Jaron Lanier: "There isn't any one news site that
I would be willing to depend on by itself. I think it's important to
look at the Internet as a whole as a news source, and some sites make
up for the others' failings. I try to find sources from other points
of view, from other countries."
PopTech co-founder John Metcalfe: "I refuse as a matter
of protest to register for The New York Times because of their extreme
media bias. So I go to the Drudge Report 10 times, 20 times a day."
MIT's Henry Jenkins: "I read Slashdot, a beautiful example
of community-moderated news and getting the public involved in deciding
what's news, and I've found that consistently more reliable and thoughtful
than much of the news media."

Hilary
Rosen of RIAA responds to Janis
Ian, at Blogcritics.org. There's
one bizarre part to this. Rosen writes:
RIAA's enforcement efforts have never been against downloaders. They
are against uploaders.
As soon as you download a song, it's on your drive available to be downloaded
by others from you, which would make you an uploader, although it doesn't
work like that. P2P file sharing turns a distributed pool of files on
millions of small personal computers into one giant collective jukebox.
Rosen refers to "these uploaders supplying millions of files on
a daily basis" as though there were a few nefarious individuals dumping
millions of CDs onto the Net, and the rest are innocent downloaders.
It's an odd distinction, one that probably derives from a fear of offending
the record labels' customer base.
Also, a somewhat confusing account of a debate
at the Oxford Union, which included Rosen. There is to be a video,
so we may get more on this:
Hilary Rosen asks "Put up your hand if you download and burn music"
(most hands go up). She then asks "Keep your hand up if you buy
more music because of it" (many stay up). She gets worried and
immediately asks some different and confusing set of people to put their
hands up, causing everyone to look miffed, and everyone putting their
hand down).

Burn CD tracks for 99 cents:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Online music company Listen.com ... has signed
licensing deals with Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group, enabling
fans to burn songs from both companies' catalogs on Listen's Rhapsody
music subscription service.
As of Monday, more than 75,000 tracks will be available for burning
for 99 cents per track, including songs by artists like Bon Jovi, Nelly
and Eminem.
The consensus
among commenters at Metafilter seems to be that, with the additional
$9.95 a month subscription fee, the price is still too high, and the choices
too limited (Top 40 groups) -- $12 or $15, no lyrics or liner notes and
you still have to buy and burn your own CD.

week: The hearing
Iraqis involved in Oklahoma City bombing? I
approach this story with caution. This allegation is the result of a seven-year
investigation by Jayna
Davis, a former reporter for NBC affiliate KFOR-TV in Oklahoma
City. Her site contains more information.
Iraqis
linked to Oklahoma atrocity
By James Langton in New York, for the (London) Evening Standard
The FBI is under pressure from the highest political levels in Washington
to investigate suspected links between Iraq and the Oklahoma bombing.
Senior aides to US Attorney-General John Ashcroft have been given compelling
evidence that former Iraqi soldiers were directly involved in the 1995
bombing that killed 185 people.
The methodically assembled dossier from Jayna Davis, a former investigative
TV reporter, could destroy the official version that white supremacists
Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were solely responsible for what,
at the time, was the worst act of terrorism on American soil.
Instead, there are serious concerns that a group of Arab men with links
to Iraqi intelligence, Palestinian extremists and possibly al Qaeda,
used McVeigh and Nichols as front men to blow up the Alfred P Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Davis, who was one of the first reporters on the scene after the blast,
has spent seven years gathering evidence of a wider conspiracy. But
it is only as America prepares to wage war on Iraq and Saddam Hussein
that her conclusions are being taken seriously at the highest level.
Finally, she says, the authorities are examining the idea "that
the Oklahoma bombing might not simply be the work of two angry white
men".
After hearing her evidence, several senior members of Congress have
called for a new probe. ...
The
Iraq Connection: Was Saddam involved in Oklahoma City and the first
WTC bombing?
By Micah Morrison, senior editorial page writer, The Wall Street
Journal, September 5, 2002
Evidence supporting Ms. Davis's suspicions surfaced during discovery
for the McVeigh trial. An FBI report, for example, records a call a
few hours after the bombing from Vincent Cannistraro, a retired CIA
official who had once been chief of operations for the agency's counter-terrorism
center. He told Kevin Foust, a FBI counter-terror investigator, that
he'd been called by a top counter-terror adviser to the Saudi royal
family. Mr. Foust reported that the Saudi told Mr. Cannistraro about
"information that there was a 'squad' of people currently in the
United States, very possibly Iraqis, who have been tasked with carrying
out terrorist attacks against the United States. The Saudi claimed that
he had seen a list of 'targets,' and that the first on the list was
the federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma."
Music
industry spins falsehood: Janis Ian in US Today,
Listen up
Many artists now benefit greatly from the free-download systems the
RIAA seeks to destroy. These musicians, especially those without a major-label
contract, can reach millions of new listeners with a downloadable song,
enticing music fans to buy a CD or come to a concert of an artist they
would have otherwise missed.
The RIAA and the entrenched music industry argue that free downloads
are threats. The music industry had exactly the same response to the
advent of reel-to-reel home tape recorders, cassettes, DATs, minidiscs,
VCRs, music videos, MTV and a host of other products and services.
I am not advocating indiscriminate downloading without the artist's
permission. Copyright protection is vital. But I do object to the industry
spin that it is doing all this to protect artists. It is not protecting
us; it is protecting itself.
I hope the court rejects the efforts of the music industry to assault
the Internet and the music fans who use it. Speaking as an artist, I
want us to work together -- industry leaders, musicians, songwriters
and consumers -- to make technology work for all of us.

The
Dalai Lama is not a rock star, he is oxygen: A lovely story about
the Dalai Lama's visit to Prague by Calvin White in the Toronto Globe and
Mail back in July that just stumbled across. It's a nice counterbalance
to the news of a world gone mad.
An experience with the Dalai Lama begins at first sight. As soon as
he leaves his car, he starts to make contact with individuals. Instead
of brushing by under the cloak of his security entourage and right away
going to the stage, he stops to linger, shake hands, and, above all,
look into eyes. The latter is what stands out the most. He wants to
see who is looking at him, wants to feel their energy.
The first words he uttered that afternoon in Prague, once he had taken
his seat under a semi-pyramid of colourful prayer flags, were that now
he could see everyone more clearly. That contact and connection is obviously
central to his identity. He doesn't come to lecture but to connect.
Each time it was the Czech translator's turn to convey his comments,
the bespectacled Tibetan scanned the audience, his gaze pausing deliberately
on certain individuals to nod, raise eyebrows, smile, point, or chuckle.
Thus, so many feel touched, and the audience, in general, senses itself
not as observers but as a part of an exchange.
Sniper
crisis demands more from president: Washington, D.C. resident
and MSNBC contributor Howard Fineman writes,
I have a question for the president as the sniper’s murder toll
reaches 10 in our region and my kids are huddled indoors after school
instead of being at Little League or tennis practice: Why in this crisis
haven’t I heard more from you and seen more action from your crime-busting,
terrorism-fighting White House? I thought providing “Homeland
Security” is what your presidency is about.
Reprieve? P2P
hacking bill may be amended:
Declan McCullough at CNet reports,
WASHINGTON--A proposal to let copyright owners hack into and disrupt
peer-to-peer networks will be revised, a congressional aide said Wednesday.
Alec French, an aide to bill author Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., defended
his boss' ideas but acknowledged that some critics had made reasonable
points about the controversial proposal.
"He plans to significantly redraft the bill to accommodate reasonable
concerns before reintroduction in the 108th (Congress)," French
said during an afternoon event at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Introduced in July, the P2P Piracy Prevention Act says copyright holders
would have the right to disable, interfere with, block or otherwise
impair a peer-to-peer node that they suspect is distributing their intellectual
property without permission. The bill does not specify what techniques--such
as viruses, worms, denial-of-service attacks, or domain name hijacking--would
be permissible.

mp3-jukebox in NYC bar: Philip Henken writes in New York Press,
Cruise past the "Club Formerly Known as Brownies," aka HiFi,
on Ave. A and you’ll catch the claim "Best Jukebox on the
Planet" on their chalkboard outside.
Surprisingly, it just might be true.
The actual machine isn’t much to look at: a monitor in a lacquered
wooden casing, a trackball/mouse and a keypad, plus the ubiquitous dollar-bill
slot, kind of a no-frills arcade game.
But Brownies co-owner Mike Stuto and a techie friend/hired gun have
actually built it from scratch with the guts of a PC and Stuto’s
own extensive music collection. What it is is the first fully functional
MP3 jukebox, an enormous, alphabetized archive of songs. via

Spam
as foreign aid: All that Nigerian spam you're getting? We know
it's a con, that its aim is to get you to Nigeria where you'll be robbed
and worse, and you may know it's called the ”419 fraud,” after
the section of the Nigerian penal code that covers such cons.
But did you know it's helping to create a legitimate digital future for
Nigeria? From MSNBC,
Heartless as it may sound, there’s a silver lining to the digitization
of 419. The proliferation of cybercafes in Nigeria can be linked directly
to the demand supplied by 419ers, who form the establishments’
core clientele. Walk into an Internet cafe in Lagos, and chances are
that a good percentage of the terminals are occupied by men masquerading
as Laurent Kabila’s long-lost son or as a rogue official at the
Central Bank of Nigeria. The wiring of Nigeria is being propelled by
419 — much as America’s appetite for porn helped shepherd
the commercial Internet through its infancy.
Someday 419 will abate, when young, educated Nigerians have better
economic prospects and foreign Internet users get it through their thick
skulls that, no, you’re not going to rake in millions by flying
to Nigeria and fronting some stranger your life savings. And when that
day comes, there will be a thriving Internet culture for Nigerians to
use for more legitimate purposes. If the Daniel A. Oluwas of the world
have the technical chops to work a 419 scam, they can surely get an
e-commerce site going.

Catching up with candidate-blogger Grubb: A week or so ago, Tara
Sue Grubb, Libertarian candidate for Congress from High Point, N.C.,
telephoned her opponent -- Howard
Coble (R-N.C.), who is also, naturally, her Congressional rep -- and
asked for an appointment to discuss what she calls "the P2P Vigilante
Bill."
 |
Tara
Sue Grubb |
In case you just got here: Coble, with Howard
Berman (D-CA), who represents Disney's district, has proposed what the
Weekly Standard described as "a change to the copyright code that
would make most distribution of copies obtained by 'fair use' illegal unless
the owner has the written permission of the copyright holder."
In an attempt to convey the impact of the Berman-Coble bill (pdf)
(more
links) on the culture if passed, writers and lawyers have suggested
it would make it illegal to use your VCR to record an episode of ER
and give it to your mother; if the same provisions were to apply to books,
the pages would glue themselves together after the buyer had read the
book once.
CNet's
Declan McCullough wrote in July, "The measure would permit copyright
holders to perform nearly unchecked electronic hacking if they have a
"reasonable basis" to believe that piracy is taking place.
"The legislation would immunize groups such as the Motion Picture
Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America
from all state and federal laws if they disable, block or otherwise impair
a 'publicly accessible peer-to-peer network,' " -- which is why the
word "vigilante' creeps into the conversation.
Grubb came to the attention of the blog world when North Carolina blogger/journalist
Ed Cone reported
that Coble, allegedly running unopposed, did have an opponent, Grubb the
Libertarian. Prominent web developer
Dave Winer decided to champion Grubb's candidacy after talking with
her by phone, and he helped her set up a weblog. We pulled some of the
pieces together and reported on The
first Congressional candidate to blog; then Wired
wrote about her.
Tara Sue took the opportunity and ran with it:
Today Mr. Coble returned my call. He said the reason he is supporting
the P2P Bill was to bring attention to the issue. I explained to him
that the bill violated state and U.S. Constitutional rights and it targets
an unnamed individual, destroying personal property, victimizing possible
and probable innocents. He replied that the bill may need to be fixed,
or thrown out, rewritten or brought the way it is. I was shocked to
hear him say this, considering the fact he stated before that the bill
is sound.
He went on to say his interest was for the "artist." If that
be true, then why doesn't he focus on the artist, not their boss? It's
not the free public's fault the entertainment industry robs its own.
And it's not our fault that stars sign contracts that offer less than
what they want. If Congress would stop empowering huge industries with
bad legislation companies would be forced to be accountable.
Mr. Coble did say he has been known to change his mind. I told him
that I want to change it.
Tara's fresh enthusiasm and plain sense bubbles up throughout her blog.
We aren't used to reading statements by candidates who use uncautious
everday voices, but Tara's is unorthodox, honest and refreshing. Here's
her take on a hot-potato issue so old it's becoming a chestnut:
Pro-Mind Your Own Business
Abortion:
The question is "When does life begin? "
Tara's Answer: Life doesn't begin. Life doesn't end. Matter is neither
created nor destroyed, it changes form.
And on
You Are More Than A Consumer
You are not a tool for government and industry. Your PC is not a tool
for maintaining their interests. It is a tool for maintaining yours.
Few candidates win their first time out. But they gain name recognition
and experience, and, if they strike a chord in the minds of enough voters,
get a second chance next time. It will be fun to watch Tara Sue Grubb
grow into a seasoned political candidate. I hope she likes this taste
of politics, and persists.

Kurt
Cobain's journals on the Net: "By the time of his death, Kurt
Cobain had become the voice of his generation, the most influential American
musician since Bob Dylan. During his short, explosive career, his pioneering
music with Nirvana, tempestuous marriage to Courtney Love and struggle with
heroin all ensured he was never out of the headlines. But in private he
was increasingly ill at ease with his fame - and confided his fears to a
series of notebooks. He also filled them doodles, cartoons and drawings,
love letters, lyrics and his plans for Nirvana. In a world exclusive, we

Webcasters
Receive Last-Minute Help From RIAA: After the Small Webcaster
Amendments Act of 2002 -- which would have cut in half the royalty rate
of 0.14 of a penny per song, per listener, which was set by the U.S. Librarian
of Congress and Copyright Office earlier this year -- stalled
in the Senate Thursday night, net radio was in deep trouble. (Barry
Willis at Stereophile writes that "Several reports from Washington
indicated that [Senator Jesse Helms, R-N.C.]) acted at the behest of religious
broadcasters") in placing an anonymous stall on the bill, guaranteeing
it won't be addressed until after next month's elections.
Today, the RIAA, which represents record labels, stepped in to assist
affected small Webcasters, Billboard
reports:
In an E-mail Friday, the RIAA informed Webcasters that it would authorize
record labels and other sound recording copyright owner members of the
SoundExchange royalty collection unit to accept the minimum annual payment
of $500 and waive any late fees. Without the RIAA intervention, beginning
yesterday (Oct. 20), small Webcasters would have been liable for retroactive
royalties back to 1998 at the full royalty rate of 70 cents per song
per 1,000 listeners -- a reality that would have forced many to cease
operations.
If your head starts to spin when we get to the numbers, on Saturday Sean
Piccoli of the South Florida Sun Sentinel published a lucid, thorough
explanation of the issues at stake for webcasters:
What galls Westley [John Westley, CEO of the Womb,
a Web channel that plays DJ mixes and has hundreds of thousands of listeners
around the world] and others is that record companies want money
from Webcasters that they do not get to collect from radio. Decades
ago, the radio industry got itself exempted by arguing that songs on
the air have a value equal to or greater than any performance royalty,
since exposure helps generate record sales.
Webcasters attempted the same argument, to no avail; Internet radio
does not have the audience or market clout of traditional radio.

No real news here, but it's an interesting tale from the Baltimore Sun

Despite living in separate towns, pursuing separate interests, they
still show signs of having been a team, including, like an old married
couple, stealing each other's stories. It was Woodward, for example,
who told how Bernstein, showing up in a white suit on one of his first
days as a copy boy, was sent to "wash" the carbon paper. "The
only other person I know who would have done that is me," he said.
Boston
Globe not covering antiwar movement, readers charge:
Usually readers call the Ombudsman office to complain about something
that has appeared in the paper. But lately it's what has not appeared
that is generating the most ire.
The charge: The Globe has given short shrift to covering antiwar efforts
as the country moves toward a dangerous confrontation with Iraq. Some,
but not all, of the complaints have come from those helping organize
local events.
''I walked with 2,000 people to Faneuil Hall, we were four and five
people deep, and we surrounded the marketplace,'' said Paul Brailsford,
87, about an Oct. 6 march. ''I would have thought that would have warranted
at least an inch of copy in the Globe, but there was not even a line!''
Says reader Thea Paneth, ''The Globe attitude to peace concerns is
''Oh, them again - ho hum - how passe.'' Concludes retired teacher and
activist Pat McSweeney, ''We expected more from the Globe.'' The criticism
is focused on the news sections, not the opinion pages.
An open-source rival for Microsoft Outlook? Mitchell
Kapor, 51, founded Lotus Development Corporation in 1982; he is the
designer of the killer app Lotus 1-2-3. In 1990, he co-founded the Electronic
Frontier Foundation with Grateful Dead lyricist John
Perry Barlow. Money is not scarce, and he's a man who can make new
things happen.
Now's he assembled a team and founded a nonprofit organization (Open
Source Applications Foundation) to develop an open-source personal
information manager to rival and improve upon Microsoft Outlook.
Kapor has a blog,
a site for the nonprofit project and his own explanation
of the idea:
Our product (code-named "Chandler" after the great detective
novelist Raymond Chandler), is a Personal Information Manager (PIM)
intended for use in everyday information and communication tasks, such
as composing and reading email, managing an appointment calendar and
keeping a contact list. Because of the ease with which Chandler users
can share information with others, we might call Chandler the first
Interpersonal Information Manager.
A
blog item outlines the goal, and includes,
The whole idea of founding a company to development of new productivity
software was a complete non-starter. No sane VC would or should fund
a venture to compete with the Microsoft monopoly. As a different option,
I refused even to think about the self-indulgence of "vanity publishing".
No, if I was going to invest much time, effort, and money to develop
something new, I wanted it to have a chance to have an impact in the
world.
Finally, Dan Gillmor talks with Kapor about the background under the
headline, Software
idea may be just crazy enough to work.
