DMCA Take-down errors Encouraging news from Schloss hearing Presses diversifying -- very good news! Not so fast there, Polly Anna More common sense! Finally, at least a suggestion that common sense might prevail Quoting the last weblog post in the list above: The New York Times technology piece, Record Labels Contemplate Unrestricted Digital Music - New York Times, sounds a very promising note -- suggesting that we may finally see an end to the recording industry's intransigence in its hopeless war on downloading and file-sharing. I would predict that within a few years the large companies will be wondering (like the rest of us already are) what took them so long. I hesitate to be too optimistic about this, but again, it's just such a positive development that I have to take some small pleasure in the idea that common sense does, on occasion, prevail.

[MCN-L] IP SIG: Second Life's response to GetaFirstLife.com
Well, the first article I glanced at at the (c)ollectanea blog http://chaucer.umuc.edu/blogcip/collectanea/2007/01/more_common_sense.html led me to a really, really interesting article about Second Life's response to the parody site getafirstlife.com (and thanks to Diane Zorich for alerting me to the parody in the first place): http://www.convergenceculture.org/weblog/2007/01/proceed_and_permitted_second_l.php For a change, it's good news. And it heralds the appearance of the world's first Proceed and Permitted letter (as opposed to Cease and Desist). Priceless.

[MCN-L] MCN Call for Proposals
This plain-text version replaces the previous announcement Apologies for cross posting. CALL FOR PANELS AND PAPERS MUSEUM COMPUTER NETWORK (MCN) Building Content, Building Community: 40 Years of Museum Information and Technology November 7-10, 2007 Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza Chicago, Illinois Proposals accepted February 5 - March 2, 2007 Call for Proposals and submissions form are now online; please see: http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=1240 This year in Chicago, MCN will revive the cross-disciplinary vision of 40 years ago and explore its promise in the present day, encouraging participation from institutions across the museum spectrum. How we are the same? How are we different? How have we dealt, successfully and unsuccessfully, with the overlapping efforts in documentation, professionalism, and use of technology across the museum community? What are we doing right and what do we need to do better? Back-story for 2007: In 1967 a group of museum professionals in New York held their first meeting to discuss the use of computers in museum settings. This meeting was the genesis of what would become the Museum Computer Network. Art, archaeology, science, and historical museums, as well as members of the computer industry (especially IBM), all participated in those early meetings. As the museum field has grown and expanded in the past half-century, we have become more and more specialized, learning primarily from those whose experiences most closely mirror our own--art with art, science with science, etc. This conference will reaffirm and revitalize our broader connections across these types of institutions. The MCN Annual Conference 2007 seeks innovative sessions (panels, papers, posters, and workshops) that reflect on 40 years of museum information and technology practice in all types of museums that define our current state, and look forward to the next decade and beyond. Prospective presenters are invited to submit proposals in any of the following areas, as well as on other topics: - Opportunities for New Professionals - Leadership, Sustainability, Accountability - Building Content, Building Communities (online museums as social spaces) - Superior Content, Superior Delivery - Digital Readiness, Digital Accomplishments, Digital Accountability (DAMS, Best Practices, Preservation, Access) - Museum Information Standards - Digital Convergence: Archives, Libraries, and Museums - Copyright Issues in the New Millennium Innovative formats and audience interaction are highly desirable and will be important factors in the 2007 selection process. Online proposal submissions will be accepted February 5 - March 2, 2007 Please see http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=1240 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
