If you’ve ever looked at the FBI Anti-Piracy logo and thought that it would make a great deterrent for your Web site or other creative work, think again. The logo, first announced in early 2004, is only for members of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the…

Five Media Hosts for Easy Offloading
Since yestserday’s post about offloading images and multimedia to mitigate against false DMCA notices has generated some unexpected interest on the topic, I wanted to take a few moments and look at the companies I’ve worked with and discuss why I use the services that I do.

Are Creative Comons Licenses Confusing?
A recent post on Blackstar Rising by Scott Baradell entitled “Why Photographers Hate Creative Commons” lays out a case that Creative Commons Licenses, especially as they apply to photos, are frequently violated, misunderstood and, worst of all, confusing. As someone who is both a CC user and some who has spoken up about problems with…
Why I Embed My Images

Lawrence Lessig’s Presentation at Google
Though the video itself is nearly a year old and the presentation was given in October of last year, Professor Lessig’s talk at Google, as part of the Authors@Google series, remains just as relevant today as it did when it was first given. Unfortunately, I just stumbled across this video today on accident and, looking…

Though the United States Copyright Office provides the only official service, that makes available additional legal remedies, it is both pricey and slow, making it a waste for anyone who anyone who isn’t actively looking to go…
More Updates to Stopping Internet Plagiarism
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…
Video: Finding the Host
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. The video, which lasts about five minutes, takes the user through the process of finding the host for this site,…
