Artists and photographers, tired of rampant infringement of their work on PhotoBucket, are circulating a petition to push the service to change some of its practices.

Considering that my predictions for 2007 fell somewhere between “mixed” and “unmitigated disaster” I am almost loathe to try again. However, in the spirit of the season, I almost can not control myself.
So, with that in mind, I’m taking a look at the year ahead with seven new predictions about what is in store for [...]

It was this time last year that I began to compile my list of predictions for content theft and plagiarism in the new year. Invariably, some of the predictions were right, others were wrong and some split the difference.
So, before I look forward into 2008, I want to take a moment and look back over [...]

A presentation by Jason Calacanis at LeWeb3 earlier this month drew attention the problem of Web “pollution” as a threat to the Internet itself.
According to Calacanis, Usenet is an case study on what is currently happening to the Web. In his speech, he stated that Usenet, ten to fifteen years ago, was a very [...]

The new version of the video, which The Richter Scales refer to as version 1.1, not only adds a full credit roll, but a link [...]

Typically, I don’t comment on ongoing controversies, especially ones that I’ve already talked about on the Copyright 2.0 Show.
However, the Lane Hartwell controversy does not seem prepared to end. With the flames already fanned by some of the most popular bloggers, the debate rages on as Hartwell released her much-anticipated statement yesterday and the division [...]

In continuing the work that I began last week on the Stopping Internet Plagiarism section of the site, I’ve updated two more chapters of the work, Contacting the Plagiarist and Contacting the Host.
In both cases the updates were relatively minor in nature but both chapters required some work to bring them back up to code. [...]

As a follow-up to my recent updates to the Finding the Host page of the site, I’ve decided to create a short video demonstrating the process of finding a host for a domain Web site.
