Glass Artists Face Off in Court

Why is this story library related? Librarians should follow what is happening in the intellectual property arena because intellectual property is what we are all about. Too little protection and the fires of innovation could die, too much, and ideas can die. Librarians should be one of the groups that watch to make sure the engine does not die and also that no one is run over by the engine.

    unfortunately…
    Another locked-down article.

    I got to read page one of it… but yeah, not giving them sign-on data.

    Did you realize that with a gender, a birthdate, and a zipcode, 87% of Americans are uniquely identified?

    Here is a quote from the book “Friday” by Robert Heinlein. I think you might be able to infer from this quote how you can get to the article you want.


    with all governments everywhere tightening down on everything wherever they can, with their computers and their Public Eyes and ninety-nine other sorts of electronic surveillance, there is a moral obligation on each free person to fight back wherever possible—keep underground railways open, keep shades drawn, give misinformation to computers. Computers are literal-minded and stupid; electronic records aren’t really records . . . so it is good to be alert to opportunities to foul up the system. If you can’t evade a tax, pay a little too much to confuse their computers. Transpose digits. And so on . . .

    Ender,

    You do realize that you are not required to be honest when filling out online forms.

    Yup, I lie to computers
    All day long. BUt it’s the principle of the thing.

    Btw: Gomer, Houston is an ugly place to pretend to be from 😛

    Right now, I’d choose: 70175

    But I’d like bugmenot (but they decline for pay sites and the like) or some other reference to snag codes to be referenced, if we’re picking stuff like this to talk about.
