Please, Madonna, come to Silicon Valley: while some feel you can't sing to save your life, you are a businessperson to be admired, indeed, held in awe. We're not worthy! Please come to Silicon Valley - we need you. Anyone who can turn intellectual property of such, um, interesting quality into billions is sorely needed in a place where genius IP often amounts to less than zero.
Here's (my editor) Charles Arthur's story about your naughty "What the f-ck" spoof (currently much sought-after, but really hard to find) on peer networks.
Dear, dear Ms. M. - next time you want to ruffle the network for profit, find somebody who knows "what the f-ck" (your words) they're doing - you can find a likely, highly knowledgeable candidate here.... and while it's highly unlikely they'll want to want to go along initially, I suspect you'll know how to persuade them. Once word got out, everybody wanted your spoof mp3 (much, much more than they wanted your current album), but, sadly, your spoof technologists were so lame that it was really hard to find... |

Dan isn't giving up, bless his real-deal journalist's soul . Can you say 'impeachment'? No? How about 'tar-and-feathers'...? Comments 7:54:38 PM

If RIAA hates human customers, just wait: "Aliens might be disguising the content and origin of their messages by splitting them into multiple pieces and bouncing them off distant mirrors." Heh, I just knew it had to be... A New Scientist article preview from Roland et al. via Boing Boing... and, yes, we're having fun with headlines... Comments 7:19:18 PM

Speaking of bad-boy 'bots, Cyveillancebot has yet to visit and read all of the Cyveillance-related material posted on this blog since Monday - thousands of words which contain the names of every major Cyveillance client, a treatise on copyright violation (theirs) etc. etc. It's been linked from Slashdot's Your Rights Online and Dave Winer's Scripting News - two sites that you'd think would be crawled (if not read daily) by a service that claims to keep its finger on the pulse of the Internet for big-deal corporate customers. It could be that they have another, stealthier 'bot; it could be that they don't care what people they regard as 'Net-nobodies' write.... or it could be that Cyveillance marketing is way out in front of Cyveillance technology...

All things Cyveillancebot: I used the nifty categories feature in Userland Radio to create an all-Cyveillance version of this blog... complete with RSS feed. It's unlikely this will be an ongoing thing, at least not for long, but all the information, rants and copyright violations, useful code snippets etc. that have been captured are now in one place. Do me a favor and link to it... that should get it up higher in Google... so when Guido at VeryBigMusicCo searches on, say, "all your mp3 are belong to us" they'll get at least one alternative view...

Here's a weird referrer. Heh, Web server access logs are the medium I read most often lately... they even have ads and spam in them... Comments 8:35:47 AM
