[audio/video of the keynote] [wiki notes Buy diazepam online cheap, ]

James Boyle of Duke law school speaks on policy and legal issues concerning open media. What a crowd. Pubcasters, video bloggers, radio folks, tech heads, scholars, VCs, community media activists....and more, and everybody excited to be here. Buy diazepam online, Amazing.

Jake Shapiro kicks it off by posting the question—what are the public possibilities of emerging “social media”. Participation, collaboration, grassroots expression and distribution—what can they mean for civil society, for our public life, for an open and democratic future, buy diazepam online cheap.

Is participatory media a solution to fragmentation and lack of public conversation or an “embarrassment of niches”. Could the spirit of participation change what public broadcasters—committed to localism, civic engagement, quality presentation of knowledge—are able to do. Or could we be missing opportunities. Is there a danger that this new burgeoning expression could be engulfed by corporate management. Buy diazepam online cheap, Within pubcasting there are some neat things going on: APM’s public journalism, Jake’s own Public Radio Exchange, and others, but it’s just “scratching the surface” at the moment.

The threats to the Internet and its openness are real. Jake’s hope: between public and participatory media, the promise of a democratic and open Web could be fulfilled, cheap diazepam no prescription. We need a public square in our public life and culture.
Jake mentioned the co-organizers and the sponsors, all of whom are listed on the website. Yay for everybody, buy diazepam online cheap.

And now….Jamie Boyle, who was one of the authors of the comic book Bound by Law, available on the Duke Center for the Public Domain website and is a great resource not just for filmmakers but for creators in general, on the rights of users.
Jamie begins with saying it’s impossible to cover everything. He’s been told “no downers, Purchase diazepam, ” but there are downers.
This is a moment of exciting and scary possibilities. Buy diazepam online cheap, It’s hard to predict what will happen. Most of it is still to come. “My talk is about how not to screw it up.”

Two propositions:

1) we are bad at predicting the future of any new technological innovation. (The FCC thought cellphones would be a niche market.) If you predict everything something has to be right. Look at patterns of errors in prediction. He’s proposing that there is a blindness that forms a pattern in the world of communications, buy diazepam online cheap. It is a blindness or inability to see clearly the potential of commons-based production. The potential of forms of media that are not tightly controlled by ownership and control. At every level of network policy we are blind to the opportunities of the less-controlled, open-access side of things. In any system, acheter diazepam bon marché, whether it’s about trying to generate kinds of content, or setting up a network, should it be open, the design of the computer….at every level—look at the work of Larry Lessig and Yochai Benkler—we look at conflicts between openness and closedness. Buy diazepam online cheap, We have a systematic bias against openness!.
Is there data to support this hypothesis. Take a look at the last 20 years of IP law. Should we extend the copyright term for dead authors in the hope they’ll write again. Yes!. An amazingly inefficient subsidy, buy diazepam online cheap. WIPO is considering a new broadcasting right. Diazepam kopen, In the US you make a deal with a network, you have a contract, fine. Many other countries have signed a treaty permitting a broadcasting right that lies on top of copyright that gives broadcasters a right in the same material. So rebroadcasting or reuse sends people not only to the copyright holder but also to the broadcaster. Buy diazepam online cheap, The pro argument. It helps broadcasters build networks. Have US broadcasters been inhi bited for lack of this right. Of course not. So what’s the solution. Not only to have this right but to EXTEND the broadcasting right to webcasting!, buy diazepam online cheap.

2) We know about this phenomenon, it’s studyable, Osta diazepam online. This is dumb, in “a rich, patterned, complex way.” It’s not random, it’s patterned. Companies are making decisions that are not even in their own self-interest, which is usually hard to see because they manage to lock everything up. But sometimes they lose. Buy diazepam online cheap, Movie companies lost when they tried to stop movies from being broadcast. But by losing that Supreme Court cases, Order diazepam online legally, we could make free copies of movies, the costs of VCRs dropped, and the entire video rental business was born, which kept the movie business alive. Not controlling it opened up a new market.
Why do we undervalue openness. Property rights are understood around physical things. I have a bottle of water, it’s my water, buy diazepam online cheap. If I have a farm, I want to be able to use it, stop people taking my animals, and so on, goedkope diazepam apotheek. High levels of control makes sense. We’re not good yet at understanding intangible stuff. It’s really hard to deplete an idea, to overfish an idea, to claim that I taught my students something and now I don’t know anything about it. Buy diazepam online cheap, Our assumptions around control and design are material, not digital. It doesn’t work very well. We’re not always wrong, but we are wrong by inclination, we tend the wrong way. Purchase diazepam online, It’s hard to imagine a law exam in which the correct answer is, don’t lock things up. We assume your client should have all the rights and have maximum control.

Let’s imagine that you don’t know anything after 1992, buy diazepam online cheap. And I say, we’re assembling this group. Would we design something that was entirely open, where the intelligence is at the user side. There is no Google, no Mapquest….I think we’d say, gosh, there’ll be porn, halvalla diazepam apteekki. And spam. Buy diazepam online cheap, And wackos, disagreeing with NPR and PBS. Being fair, being ourselves, we’d invent Minitel, the French network of the 1980s, a set of dumb terminals in a system directed by a central agency. And then we’d give poor people more time on it.

The Internet is a historical anomaly. Geeks invented it, Comprar diazepam baratos, and then bam, it was too big to control. And at every stage we’ve tried to get it back in the box, buy diazepam online cheap. Windows Vista will control your choices. The network itself, the providers want to control how the information flows, so Disney can send its programs to you quicker than others. We need more digital rights management so it’s so imbedded that there’s no space outside it. At the level of the individual company—there’s always this “let them comment on it. Buy diazepam online cheap, What will they say. Better not” attitude.

At every level we underestimate the advantage of the commons. But where toset the balance, Tennessee TN Tenn. . It’s an empirical question. Sometimes you do need control, buy diazepam online cheap. Is this a “downer”. No. If we know we have a cognitive disability, then you can deal with it. Pilots learn to trust the instruments, not their own reactions in bad weather. Buy diazepam online cheap, We can take into account our cognitive bias.

What’s the take home. Wherever it is possible, παραγγείλετε online diazepam, push a little on your sense of just how much control is needed. Don’t introduce crummy new rights like broadcast rights. Don’t give up on net neutrality.

It’s not a religious question, buy diazepam online cheap. It’s an empirical question. Sometimes we need control.
It’s 1992. We don’t know the future. Buy diazepam online cheap, Imagine WGBH Boston has been given the job of designing the greatest reference work the world has ever seen. You want the Ency Britannica on steroids. You say, first, you need very strong copyright rights because we’ll have to invest so much, Alaska AK . Besides, what about the wackos, we need control. We need a trademark, we need it to stand for quality. And we need to police it, buy diazepam online cheap. That’s the plan. BUT when’s the last time anyone looked at an encyclopedia. We just use Google. We have an amazing ability to use a crude form of peer review. Buy diazepam online cheap, But in 1992, people would say, nobody would create this stuff. Buy diazepam pills, What’s the incentive?. It’s a fantasy!. But guess what, it just happened to be true.

AND….questions!

Questioner: The incumbents always feel threatened.
Jamie: This is a major motivation, buy diazepam online cheap. One UK analyst says we need “Tarzan economics,” letting go before you run out of the chance to jump. We let the current big guys rule on whether new entrants can come in. And of course, what do they say. If we paid attention more to the open/closed issue, we might make better decisions. But the problem of industry capture is very real. I’d like to develop a culture of heuristic, pushing against the status quo. We use antitrust and the principle of democracy to push against closedness.
