  1. A quotation from Maria Popova

    Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

    Maria Popova (b. 1983) Bulgarian-American essayist, author, critic [Мария Попова]
    Post (2012-04-30), “Orson Welles: A Rare 1960 Interview,” The Marginalian

  12. NEW by me:

    Two Data Breaches Didn't Sink Novo Nordisk's Stock. Why Not?

    So often, we see stock prices take a dip after a breach is disclosed. In this case, there were TWO breaches, yet the stock price didn't take any real dip, however short-lived. Either that's really unusual or breaches are starting to have less impact on stock prices, even in the short-term.

    If the latter, threat actors may stop trying to threaten targets that their investors will care.

  14. A muchos les encanta desviar el foco de atención tratando de comparar el proceso de inspiración humana con el accionar delictivo de un puñado de empresarios inescrupulosos.

    Recuerden siempre volver al punto clave: violación masiva a la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual y a la Ley de Protección de Datos.

  15. I get 50 years of copyright. It reasonably balances the needs of the holders with the public's desires for freedom. 70 years is the upper limit, after which arguments for a longer term start to turn specious. 95 years is plainly absurd. Let's hope the term limits never get abolished, such that everything we do gets controlled by the few holders indefinitely.
