Once again, someone at TLF has defined a market success so narrowly, that by his very definition, it is impossible ever to discuss an example of a market failure. Here we have Jim Harper, discussing the recent supression by Comcast of Bit torrent traffic:
But I expect that we’ll soon learn more about the situation, [...]
If anyone wasn’t convinced of the need for net neutrality legislation, a story by Declan McCullagh should dispel any objections they might have. It seems that Comcast has been interfering with Bit-Torrent traffic of its subscribers. What’s more it knew that to do so was wrong, and therefore denied it when asked about [...]
Well my post from a couple of days ago should have had a couple more links to free music downloads, in particular this one, as BGG noted:

A post over at IP Central is illustrative of two important fallacies in thinking about copyrights.
Solveig Singleton is here discussing Fair Use, and the prospect of narrowing Fair Use (odd at a time when most thought seems to be centered on expanding Fair Use rights, but that’s a tangent). In this post, she only [...]
The post Does Municipal Wi-Fi Have the Incentive for Security? by Cord Blomquist over at TLF is another subterfuge for corporate welfare, carefully disguised. (Although he has picked up on the Headline as a question thing.) But, in the course of the debate he makes a really key observation that I almost overlooked.
First, he [...]
An interesting site, Who is sick, collects data from folks who volunteer the symptoms of their sickness. It then displays this information, in a clear, graphic way, which conveys a few of the key symptoms by use of a color-coded pie chart. Seems like a site that has the potential, if [...]
Amnesty International: Signature
Here’s the future of advocacy, and just another example of a critical advantage that the NFP sector has over other methods of organization. this particular advantage is because of Web 2.0, but there already were many advantages that the NGO/NFP sector has, as I have posted about here: [...]
The case of the man who sued his drycleaners for 67 million dollars has nothing on the RIAA, who is suing the Russian web site allofmp3.com for 1.65 trillon dollars. This exceeds the entire GDP of Russia. If they succeeded in this lawsuit and were somehow able to collect, the income from this [...]
