How is it possible that there are so many hackers who seem to misappropriate personal information by hacking into complicated and very large corporate computer operations. Where are the hackers to watch the hackers? Are the military men who are in charge experienced in security measures also experts in cyber operations? As I recall in "The Cuckoo's Nest" Richard Dawkins, an astro physicist, slept on the floor of JPL in order to eventually catch the hacker-- located in Germany, and this was some time ago. Are the systems by being more sophisticated also easier to hack into? Is hacking another form of terrorism from the intellectual dark side? Or is it just a group of individuals out to prove they can outsmart whatever and whomever is there?

The Marvin Gaye family case result is interesting by the fact that there are so many songs and rhythms that reoccur in almost every musical composition.   

Whether Williams and Thicke actually copied a particular rhythm is known only to them. Both are exceptionally talented so it seems illogical they would need to borrow from any of Gaye's work. It appears the Gaye family will continue to pursue copyright infringement action from Williams, Thicke and others.

With so many individuals having access to digital media, pursuit of and enforcement of copyright infractions will undoubtedly realize an exponential surge.

IS Creative Commons a sole source provider of licensing of copyrighted material? Are there other entities that provide the same or a similar service?

The Net Initiative

It is difficult at times to not become an advocate of isolationism by insisting that the US control all aspects of the Internet. It is similar to those times of monarchies: everyone wants to become king and own it al! Many of us are accustomed to not having to adhere to a specific governing body. As technology has achieved its global positioning, many entities want their say-so in who is able to do and say what the rest of us must adhere to. The more systems run smoothy and without intervention from outside sources, the more those sources seem to want to intervene, i.e. defined as interoperability. This is undoubtedly an overly simplistic view and drums up the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" adage. And, naturally the Comcasts, and other cable providers and suppliers want their pick of who gets what when. I am all for the US Department of Commerce having final approval per any changes to the root zone and ICANN: one of the "few bodies with global, centralized control over the decentralized Internet."
