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)
Apple v Samsung continues to make the headlines with heaps of stories this week. Innovators and VCs ask the US government for less IP, an unfortunate story about a (legitimate) online lending library which was taken out by vigilantes and apparently there's been a trademark issue between the Open Source Initiative and an open hardware organisation.

A belt and suspenders for your cloud storage http://www.cringely.com/belt-suspenders-cloud-storage-122387

The web has changed a lot since Tim Berners-Lee posted, on this day, the first webpages summarizing his World Wide Web project, a method of storing knowledge using hypertext documents. In the months leading up to his post, Berners-Lee had developed everything necessary to make the web a reality, including the first browser and server.
Google to Launch Packaged Desktop Applications http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/08/google-to-launch-packaged-desktop-apps.html
Packaged apps will deliver an experience as capable as a native app. Just like web apps, packaged apps are written in HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. But packaged apps look and behave like native apps, and they have native-like capabilities that are much more powerful than those available to web apps.

Entrepreneurs & VCs Tell The White House To Focus On Innovation, Rather Than IP Enforcement http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20120810/02111919983/entrepreneurs-vcs-tell-white-house-to-focus-innovation-rather-than-ip-enforcement.shtml
The key to our filing is to point out that if the White House really wants to deal with infringement, the absolute best way to do so is to encourage and enable greater innovation.
Stallman comes out against Steam for Linux http://www.itproportal.com/2012/08/06/stallman-comes-out-against-steam-for-linux/
“Nonfree game programs (like other nonfree programs) are unethical because they deny freedom to their users. (Game art is a different issue, because it isn’t software). If you want freedom, one requisite for it is not having nonfree programs on your computer. ”
Anonymous donors bring Hollywood production values to anti-MPAA video http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/anonymous-donors-bring-hollywood-production-values-to-anti-mpaa-video/
A video accusing the American government of selling out to Hollywood has made a splash after being featured on the front page of the Pirate Bay, where it has garnered over 10 million views. Anti-Hollywood sentiment is nothing new, especially on The Pirate Bay, but what sets this video apart is its top-notch—one might even say Hollywood-caliber—production values.
Amazon.com to offer textbook rental service http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/techflash/2012/08/amazoncom-to-offer-textbook-rental.html
A 2005 Government Accountability Office report found that textbook prices have increased at twice the rate of inflation over the past two decades, and that in the 2003-04 academic year, students spent more than $6 billion on new and used textbooks.
No Surprise, CIS Reliably Sides With Users http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2012/08/no-surprise-cis-reliably-sides-users
This simple pro-user principle explains why CIS is such a fair weather friend to companies. We often fight positions taken by Google and Facebook on privacy and often support positions taken by Google and Facebook on copyright. I say often because we do not always agree.
SUSE details its Secure Boot plans http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/SUSE-details-its-Secure-Boot-plans-1664699.html
http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/289054/suse-slowly-shows-uefi-secure-boot-plan
Red Hat developer Matthew Garrett, who is leading the development on Fedora's Secure Boot plans, has called SUSE's implementation of the MOK file and its protection via an UEFI Boot Services Only variable "a wonderfully elegant solution. " Garrett assumes that SUSE's shim extension will find its way into Fedora's boot approach since it simplifies the process, but is not saying when this would happen.
Former MPAA CTO Tells The White House Why SOPA Is The Wrong Approach For IP Enforcement http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120807/11591019956/former-mpaa-cto-tells-white-house-why-sopa-is-wrong-approach-ip-enforcement.shtml
Back in January, he and I faced off on a panel in Washington DC the day before the Internet blackout, in which he tried to defend the MPAA's position on SOPA, though almost everyone who watched the panel noted that his statements appeared half hearted. It was little surprise two months later to see Brigner leave the MPAA to go work for the Internet Society, who fought strongly against SOPA. Since then, Brigner has more or less admitted that SOPA was a bad idea.

Judge sides with porn P2P plaintiff, setting up legal showdown http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/judge-sides-with-porn-p2p-plaintiff-setting-up-legal-showdown/
Since the plaintiff only had IP addresses for the defendants, it subpoenaed several ISPs for subscriber contact information. The ISPs objected, arguing that a plaintiff shouldn't be allowed to sue more than 1,000 people in one lawsuit, and that most of the defendants were outside of Judge Howell's jurisdiction anyway, as even a cursory geolocation search would show.

HTC Doesn't Belong in Apple-Motorola Suit http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/08/07/49042.htm
"HTC and Motorola are competitors in the smartphone industry and produce different smartphones that run on at least somewhat modified Android software," Scola wrote. "The mere use of the Android platform by these competitors, and the mere allegation that the same or similar patents were infringed, does not satisfy the joinder standards of the AIA. "

LendInks, Mob Mentality and the DMCA http://fossforce.com/2012/08/lendinks-mob-mentality-and-the-dmca/
This is exactly what happened to disabled army vet Dale Porter. For about the last two years he’s operated LendInk, a website that makes it possible for users to legally share DRM protected e-books. It was all legit; users could only share books that were approved for lending by the publishers. In fact, the lending deals were actually finalized on the websites of either Amazon or Barnes & Noble, not on the LendInk site. Early last week, LendInk was taken offline by the company hosting the site. Site visitors are offered the cryptic message, “Currently offline. Not due to DMCA complaints,” on a page that might have been put up after the story was exposed by blogs. It’s anyone’s guess whether the site will ever be back, but that notice makes me think it will.

In a Massachusetts case, Discount Video Center v. Does 1-29, the Court quashed all subpoenas served, since the plaintiff had misleadingly represented that it had sued all of the 29 ISP subscribers, when in fact it could only have sued the unknown copyright infringers, not the subscribers.
