Re: Saturday, August 24, 2002
Doc and Dave some of Lessig's reading of what other people's quotes are may be wrong as well.. as complex a syatem as a computer system, computer Os and applicaitons all working together for ane end user task I don't think you can claim the statement "binaries reveal all without revealing source" as meaning source does nto matter. I look at it as uninformed misunderstanding of what meta-message systems are all about... But maybe I am wrong.. my programming comes from a bio-infomratics point or area of examples.. I think of the source of a computer program and its OS its operating on as a pair of meta messages in a very comlex system.. The source has no meaning without the OS it urns in and the os has no meaning without source to run.. Maybe I am oversimplying it.. Also how does Lessig views fit into other countries lawmakers views? Someone mention or excepted a portion of the Russian copyright lwa and it sounds like a computer professional wrote it.. due to the features it had legalized.. I mean Copyright is not a National entity its almost a complete World entity in that most Countires have signed specific Copyright treaties.. Hmm need to ask more questions.. Like is a mp3 file a deriviative work? See thats the problem we have people knwoledgeable in law but not technology and people knowledgeable in technology but not law.. Any chance we can have a copyright conference put on by oreilly just for lawyers, lawmakers, technology experts, and exclude all lobbyists?
