Users rights MEPs chair EU anti-piracy conference
,----[ Quote ]
| One could reasonably ask why four members of the European Parliament's
| committee which is putting through such an important piece of legislation
| which affects users Internet rights, and which should be giving full
| consideration to the users' views, agreed to chair presentations at a
| conference which is geared towards measures that will erode users rights ?

User-Generated Content: Microsoft vs. Google

| Now, I'm not naïve enough to believe that José Manuel Barroso will personally
| ponder my ideas on this issue, but I hope that someone, somewhere, in the
| European Commission will at least note their existence when offering a
| summary of the views expressed. In other words, I do think it's worth giving
| your two ha'p'orth on this matter, if only to counterbalance other views.
|
| Talking of which, it's fascinating to compare and contrast what two giants of
| the computing world, Microsoft and Google, have to say on the subject in
| their submissions.
|
| As you might expect, Microsoft loves copyright, and wants everything to be
| done to keep it as it is, nice and strong, with no silly exceptions that
| might let people do anything so subversive as taking content and using it to
| create something new.

MPAA Matches RIAA In Massive Layoffs
,----[ Quote ]
| I missed this one when it initially happened, but it looks like the MPAA is
| following in the footsteps of the RIAA -- who recently laid off a bunch of
| folks. Apparently the MPAA quickly followed suit and drastically scaled back
| after the studios cut the MPAA's funding by about 15 to 20%.
