No Cost Too Great for Copyright

http://brendanscott.wordpress.com

Imagine for example, if someone unidentified got off a bus outside some department store, went in, shoplifted and then left. The store, analogously to Sony here, could well send a letter to the bus company complaining about authorising the shoplifting.

The answer to all these questions is an unequivocal no. Private media is permitted editorial control of their content. Websites and blogs are no different. They are simply a newer, different form of private media.

What price Freedom?

http://blogs.fsfe.org

Graphics drivers (for X11 under whatever Free Software operating system you care to use) are one area where Free Software has plenty of room for improvement. My laptop has an nVidia GeForce 9600M in it, which means that there are two drivers I can use for it: the Free Software nv driver, or the proprietary nvidia one.

Response to Sam Tuke's Response to "Is free software major league or minor?"

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com

Thanks to Sam Tuke for a well-written and constructive response to my article Is free software major league or minor?. Tuke refers to my post as a "dismissal" of free software, however, which is ironic at best. There is no such dismissal in my article.

http://www.linuxplanet.com

Bruce Byfield wonders why isn't "free as in freedom" more important to more Linux users? Is it all about free as in free of cost, or "free as in freeloader"?

Free software in real business

http://blogs.fsfe.org

I want to tell you some kind of so-called success story of one company (where I work nowadays): company that chose freedom path as a base for software development.

"Intellectual Property" a Violation of Real Property

http://www.libervis.com
