OSWALD Newsletter Archives (by issue #, click to view)
The Open Source Law Weekly Digest or OSWALD first launched late in 2002. Since then it has been regularly providing updates on all things open source related. The focus of this newsletter is on business, rather than technical developments in open source. Another strong component of the newsletter is IP news, as it is of interest to me and has an effect on open source.

Welcome to the Open Source Law Weekly Open Source Digest (OSWALD)
Heaps of interesting policy/gov related stories: problems with EU procurement; the US DoJ has oked Google's purchase of Motorola/Nortel patents; Cory Doctorow argues that illegal downloads of movies are driven by the failure to bring movies to (the EU) market; the EU Vice President talks of taming copyright; Elsevier being boycotted by academics; negative views on ACTA in the EU. So many interesting topics are bubbling up at the one time.
Also have a look at the (off topic) story on data mining "How Companies Learn Your Secrets".

OpenForum Europe finds trademark references in IT procurements widespread, break rules http://opensource.com/government/12/2/openforum-europe-finds-trademark-references-widespread?sc_cid=70160000000IDmjAAG
"Our monitoring exercises suggest that, although EU public procurement rules demand that contracting authorities treat their vendors equally and non-discriminatory; act transparently; not draw up technical specifications in such a way as to exclude products that meet their requirements; and refrain from referring to a specific make, source, or process; explicit references to brands are still made.

SOPA and the Future of Internet Governance http://verdict.justia.com/2012/02/13/sopa-and-the-future-of-internet-governance
And it matters even more because the law enforcement regime that SOPA would have put into place reflects an approach to the problems of “Internet law” and “Internet governance” that is outmoded, unworkable, and unjust.

The Patent System – why it fails. (loooong) http://jan.wildeboer.net/2012/02/the-patent-system-why-it-fails-loooong/

MIT launches free online 'fully automated' course http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-17012968
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world's top-rated universities, has announced its first free course which can be studied and assessed completely online.

The second point is an important one. There's only one Internet, networked culture doesn't respect national boundaries. A particularly effective marketing campaign for a new release in America will stimulate demand in other countries, and if there's no legitimate way to fulfill demand, then some portion of viewers will choose illegitimate routes.

Richard Stallman Weighs In On The Check Engine Light http://jalopnik.com/5881544/
I agree with you about the "Check engine" light, but that is a symptom of a broader and deeper problem: the owners of cars do not control, what the car's computers do. These computers are running _proprietary_ software, software that controls its users.
Viviane Reding Statement on Copyright v Freedom http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/reding/pdf/quote_statement_en.pdf
Copyright protection can never be a justification for eliminating freedom of

As we noted, the process there is even less rigorous than in the US -- often without a court being involved at all. Law enforcement just had to ask, and Nominet would take down the domain. Still, we hadn't heard about any specific domains that were seized -- and we hadn't heard of any non-Nominet (which handle . co. uk domains) being subject to UK claims. Until now.

"The feeling has been for some time that the research itself has been paid for by the public purse and the peer-review process and often the editorial process is also being paid for by the public purse in the form of academic salaries; and then the public purse has to again pay to get subscriptions to the work.

This is an issue that resonates with both sides of the political spectrum with criticism from Conservative MPs and supporters particularly telling.

A court in Brussels initially ordered Scarlet to filter its network to prevent further infringement on Sabam’s works. But the web provider, unhappy in the decision, appealed to the appeals court. The ECJ then took on the case, and it was eventually won, effectively ruling out SOPA-like laws in Europe.

Tivoization: A Necessary Evil http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/02/tivoization-a-necessary-evil/
Due to requirements put in place by the TV networks and content providers, TiVo had to lock down their hardware so only approved software could run on it. That means no modifications to the original TiVo OS, and no installing a different OS on your TiVo device. The FSF believed this to be in contradiction to the Four Freedoms, claiming that the device had to allow modified versions of its OS to be installed and distributed.
