Re: Quote 5 Words From the Associated Press? That’ll Be $12.50

I've only found links to license from AP on the iCopyright site itself. Do any AP-subscribing publications still display the links -- i.e. http://bit.ly/17nY4t -- as they were "encouraged" to when the AP-iCopyright partnership was announced (in April 2008 it seems per this PR: http://bit.ly/2r2lY)

That's what I'd be interested in seeing - it's no longer at knoxnews.com - talk about throwing your readers under the bus!

Re: Maybe The RIAA Should Just Charge $22,500 Per Song

netZoo — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 16:51:56 -0000

if only the RIAA and its members focused its resources on innovation rather than litigation over the past 10 years, the industry would be in much better shape. The RIAA doesn't have the right to charge anything on top of the profits it already reaps from the artists and fans. Until its members wake up, artists will continue to ditch major labels and embrace modern day distribution and publishing conventions.

so different and without warning I nearly had a heart attack when I just logged out and saw it for the first time. Good stuff. Unfortunately I feel like 95% of all trending or popular topics are of absolutely no interest... we shall see!

Re: Should People Kill Their Blogs in Favor of Lifestreaming?

netZoo — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:01:05 -0000

Lifestreaming is all about complacency. I admit -- I rarely blog anymore. But I rely on others who do. Complacency will kill the internets - we'll all be singing Row row row your boat in rounds if life is but a stream.

This looks really cool. I just wish there was a way to request an Alpha invite without having to advertise it across Twitter. I prefer to try things out before recommending them, y'know?

Re: To 90,000 Twitter Followers in 30 Days

netZoo — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 14:08:38 -0000

Brooks, this definitely seems to be the case. What really pointed to bot scripting was the exponential increase in followers to "suggested" account in recent weeks. These accounts were gaining 5-10% increase in followers day over day.

And this is the problem -- Twitter needs to figure out a way to run maintenance more regularly and perhaps more aggressively, which may require a revision in their terms.

The onslaught of spam bots on twitter has always seemed inevitable. The greatest concern is what could happen when the bots release their venom. Can Twitter possibly get ahead of the Hacker curve?

Re: To 90,000 Twitter Followers in 30 Days

Great points, Joe. I agree with your unofficial motto and as a long-time Twitter user, don't feel that by thinking it's inherently a good thing, one is necessarily defending Twitter. I'd love to see better use of what Twitter users "favorite," weighted, of course, depending on how many followers one has and frequency of being favorited.

Re: the Hulu situation

netZoo — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:46:35 -0000

I don't understand this move at all. Don't Hulu views via boxee generate the same revenues as a hulu embed would on any site or via Hulu.com ?

why?

netZoo — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:32:14 -0000

Because it was publicly available and newsworthy, the photo could have been fair use at the time. But he owns the copyright to his work just like the $1,000 a shot photog does. Unless its actively marked itherwise aka CC.
