Prof. Terry Fisher, the Berkman Center’s faculty director and author of the new book Promises to Keep: Technology, Law, and the Future of Entertainment, is guest-blogging at Lessig’s. Expect a very substantive week on the crisis in the entertainment industry.
The Globe and Mail covers the fairy-tale blogified engagement story of Red and the Accordian Guy (with an assist from AKMA and the whole BloggerCon crew).
Thanks to high-speed broadband and mlb.tv’s streaming video service, I’m about to watch, live, from Korea, the Red Sox take on the Cardinals in Game 2 of the World Series. All for $2.95.
(Update:
or so I thought: after paying and logging in and watching a pre-game
show, I got this message: “We’re sorry! Your data indicate that you are
prevented from watching this game LIVE due to national live broadcast
restrictions. During national TV broadcasts, fans in the US, Japan, US
Virgin Islands, Guam and S. Korea are blacked out. These games are
indicated on the schedule with a grey icon.” Turns out it’s on
TV. How silly do I feel? Not to mention $2.95 poorer.
Who needs this internet thing, anyway.)
I’ve just arrived in Seoul for an International Symposium on the role of the public in internet governance, hosted by NIDA, KRNIC, and APNG.
The hotel, not surprisingly, has a blazing broadband connection (hooray for such good broadband penetration!).
The city was bustling, even on a Sunday. I am hoping, while I’m
here, also to visit OhMyNews International, among other places.
