DRM vs. the market (Feb 01 2005 23:56 GMT) - There seems to be a widespread point of view that the market will handle the DRM problem. After all, Apple allows burning DRM-infected music to CD, so as other vendors compete to make affordances act in the expected manner and just plain try not to annoy the customers, mighty Market Forces will whittle DRM down to a meaningless stub or eliminate it entirely. I disagree. Much as DRM constitutes counterproductive customer-annoying foot-shooting that will make it a hard sell to markets that are still having trouble getting all these doo-dads to work in the first place, citizens still need a right of circumvention and a right to traffic in circumvention devices. DRM as practiced today in the US is not simply a matter of technology. |

Not Bloglines' Problem After All (Feb 01 2005 23:56 GMT) - Looks like my earlier post may have been an overreaction (won't be the first time), but not without productive results. The reason I posted my email to bloglines publicy was because I had heard from a few folks I asked that they had experienced similar problems, and also that they felt they were getting stock 'we're looking into it' responses. But luckily it also drew the attention of one-time fellow blogger Greg Ritter (Greg, come back, we miss you ;-) who cannily diagnosed the problem as likely being caused by extensions to Firefox that were messing with how Javascript was behaving. A quick google indicated this was entirely likely, and sure enough, disabling most of the extensions and upgrading a few others seems to have fixed the problem. |
