Posted on January 09, 2008Corporate theft of amateur photos is "exposed" in this rollicking Washington Post article Stolen Web SnapShots From theft to teen photos posted on Flickr causing suit against Virgin Mobile Australia (alleging invasion of privacy of the teen girl, whose light-hearted photo taken at a church car-wash is plastered all over advertisements without her family's consent, and failure to credit the amateur photographer, a violation of Flickr policy) to repeated posting of stolen pictures on Babble (blamed on an intern intractably oblivious to copyright law and who, according to the article, was fired because of the copyright flap)...

Silicon Valley remakes Hollywood?
Posted on November 27, 2007Silicon Valley; Los Angeles....Netscape founder Marc Andreessen posted Patrick Goldstein (LA TIMES) column ostensibly on the Writers Guild. Goldstein touts the not so new concept of "writer entrepreneur" (writers have always been entrepreneurs - ask anyone who ever looked for an agent or shopped a script :) But I take issue with a glaring contradiction in Goldstein's loose draping of examples that masquerades as a point...

Bar Popularity: San Francisco Bay Area Lawyers Blog
Posted on November 09, 2007San Francisco Bay Area eggs on its writer-lawyers. Two score and then some legal bloggers - a majority members of the bar, and several non-lawyers- convened this week to discuss blogging. Blogging is every monad's path to "self-publishing"- why wait for a staid and hidebound law review or journal, or to moonlight as a journalist and suffer editors, or hunt, spear in hand, paltry advance checks from wooley mammouth publishers, when one can cook up and promulgate any sort of stuff with the speed and reach afforded by "the web"...
