UCB Researchers Critique DRM, Compulsory Licensing http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/2312227
An anonymous reader writes " In [0]this paper, Berkeley researchers
critique a host of cockamamie DRM schemes, and they also question the
[1]compulsory licensing approach recently being promoted by the EFF.
They get into some of the practical details about compulsory licensing
that no one else seems to be talking about like technical feasibility,
incentives to cheat, monitoring for compliance, efficiency of
collection and distribution of funds, privacy, fair use, feasibility of
legal enforcement... Anyway, it's worth a read and is a useful
contribution to the debate, whatever side you're on. "

Funding Open Source?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/13/2040241
One of the beautiful things about Open Source is that the barriers to entry are next to non-existent, and the adage "have compiler, will travel" embodies this fact well enough. However, as projects grow in size, they will soon face financial stumbling blocks, not to mention a need for increased visibility. How does one best market an Open Source project? What can Joe (or Joni) Coder do to increase their project's financial stability? Have the financially minded people of the Free Software community thought out the possibility of an Open Investment firm? Read on for Slashdot readers who are asking these exact questions!
The Near-Term Future Of Open Source Desktops http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/2151256
[0]securitas writes "eWEEK has two related articles on the growth of
open source software. The first article is about the [1]growth of
desktop Linux, featuring Lotus and the [2]Open Source Applications
Foundation (OSAF) founder [3]Mitch Kapor, who says (among other things)
that call centers will be where the next wave of growth for desktop
Linux happens and that 10 percent of global desktops will be Linux in a
few years. He bases his statements on a report by Eazel and GNOME
Foundation co-founder Bart Decrem entitled [4]'Desktop Linux Technology
and Market Overview' (PDF) mentioned [5]last week. The second story is
about [6]open source software growth in the government sector where
government agencies like the U.S. Census Bureau have embraced OS
software for projects like the [7]State and County QuickFacts site.
Based on Perl, Apache, MySQL and Linux, the site gets 200,000 page
views a day."

http://quickfacts.census.gov/Low Power FM Report Rejects Interference Concerns http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/1657225
[0]akb writes "Back in 2000, Slashdot covered [1]the Low Power Radio
setback by Congress, detailing a law which gutted an [2]FCC initiative
that would have created thousands of Low Power FM radio stations
(LPFMs). Congress overruled the FCC, ostensibly because of interference
concerns, and cut the number of stations from thousands to a few
hundred, with hardly any in urban areas. A concession was made to allow
a study of the interference caused by LPFMs, and that report has
[3]been released. The verdict: 'Based on the measurements and analysis
reported herein, existing third-adjacent channel distance restrictions
should be waived to allow LPFM operation at locations that meet all
other FCC requirements, [with the exception of several minor technical
requirements]'. There's [4]more coverage at [5]DIYmedia.net"

[0]bryan writes "According to CNN, facing the threat of lawsuits from a
music industry trade group, [1]fewer people are using online
filesharing applications to swap songs. Internet audience measurement
service Nielsen Net Ratings said traffic on Kazaa, the leading
filesharing platform, fell 15 percent in the week ended July 6 from the
previous week. It was during that prior week, on June 25, that the
Recording Industry Association of America said it would track down the
heaviest users of "peer-to-peer" services like Kazaa and sue them for
damages of up to $150,000 per copyright violation." This follows
earlier reports, from the filesharing companies themselves, that
[2]traffic was actually increasing.

Funding for TIA All But Dead
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/1836247
Shackleford writes "Wired has an article saying that the Terrorism
Information Awareness program, which would troll Americans' personal
records to find terrorists before they strike, may soon face the same
fate Congress meted out to John Ashcroft in his attempt to create a
corps of volunteer domestic spies: [0]death by legislation. The
Senate's $368 billion version of the 2004 defense appropriations bill,
released from committee to the full Senate on Wednesday, contains a
provision that would deny all funds to, and thus would effectively
kill, the Terrorism Information Awareness program, formerly known as
Total Information Awareness. TIA's projected budget for 2004 is $169
million."
