South Korea Says No More Vonage For US Soldiers?

Filed under: Uncategorized — gates @ 1:12 pm

if you could also check this out John has pointed us to a fairly confusing article in the U.S. military publications Stars & Stripes, claiming that U.S. military personnel in South Korea can no longer sign up for U.S.-based VoIP service plans, and will be required to sign up for equivalent service from South Korean providers. The details, however, are extremely unclear. It seems to suggest that as long as you registered before last Thursday, you could keep making calls — though, they probably mean that you could only make calls until last Thursday (at least that’s how a different report characterizes the ban). It’s also not at all clear how South Korea will go about blocking these “unauthorized” US VoIP providers from working in the country (and, if the US VoIP providers were smart, they’d start adding some trickery to make it a lot harder to figure out that their packets were VoIP related). All in all, though, this seems like a protectionist tactic to pump up local Korean VoIP firms. So much for free trade, huh?.

Russian teacher fined in Microsoft piracy case (Reuters)

court has fined him half his monthly wage for using pirated
copies of Microsoft software at his school in a case
President Vladimir Putin has called "utter nonsense.". We have also noted premier League, Jealous Of Viacom, Sues YouTube As Well Nick writes in to let us know that the Premier League, in the UK (football/soccer, depending on where you are) has decided to sue Google/YouTube for copyright infringement. Nick has his own analysis, but there are a number of interesting (or silly, depending on your perspective) things about the case. First off, it was almost exactly two years ago that we were surprised to hear the Premier League suggest that it needed to sue fans who were streaming its games online (pre-YouTube days). Here were fans who were so interested in following what was going on that they’d watch games online and help promote it to others who had no way of watching the games, and the best the Premier League could do was threaten to sue? That seemed backwards. Last year, the Premier League popped up again, complaining about videos on YouTube. However, while again it seemed like bad marketing to go after fans who are promoting your sport, we figured it was at least a positive that the Premier League wasn’t so silly as to blame YouTube for the actions of its users. Apparently, we spoke too soon.

If anything, this is probably a reaction to Viacom’s $1 billion lawsuit against Google/YouTube. The Premier League figured it might get a piece of that, or at least hope that Google would be willing to settle. Of course, Google’s defense should be the same as it was for Viacom. The Premier League makes one different argument — which is that it tried to use the anti-piracy tools provided by Google, and they didn’t work. It’s hard to see how the fact that the tools don’t work very well is illegal. There is no magic bullet that can stop unauthorized copies — so every “anti-piracy” tool won’t work entirely. That’s hardly something to sue over. The other difference is that the Premier League is looking to have the case declared as a class action suit, so that all copyright holders can get at Google in one shot. If this succeeds, then it seems likely that it will shut down YouTube, destroying one of the most effective promotional vehicles the Premier League has had in years. It’s hard to see how that’s beneficial for anyone.Did you know that League means sports. An association of teams or clubs that compete chiefly among themselves. Also called loop1.

. I also heard these things how Patents Make Great Products More Difficult A post over at Slashdot highlights one of the biggest problems with patents today. Since every little tiny narrow idea is patented and controlled by different players, putting together the best pieces to create a “perfect” product is prohibitively expensive — if possible at all. Sure, you could try to create that perfect phone (which the article focuses on), but you’d have to deal with angry patent holders who would either sue for huge amounts or try to prevent the new device entirely. Once again, it’s an example of how the patent system holds back innovation by forgetting that most innovation is in doing a better job combining various ideas, rather than having a single spark of genius out of the blue. Competition helps drive innovation. Patents reduce competition. Guess what that does for innovation?.Did you know that More means a large quantity or amount: Much has been written..
