Techdirt Writers Favorites Of The Week... And Year


instead of choosing a member of the community to manage favorites Tim moaned this week / Headset Black, he had the bright idea that since the end of the year should be a preferred group message "band" Techdirt writers (or at least those who were around and not go on holiday somewhere exotic). To make it more interesting, we decided that each taxpayer has to offer a place in the week ... and one year

Like many guest writers certainly have an account, simply select the items of the week can be a daunting task. When asked to choose only one of the years that seemed to contain almost a quarter of the 40,000 messages Masnick goes beyond "intimidating" and "almost impossible". While most of the year was filled with great stories of bad actors (RIAA, MPAA, body mass index, ICE ... in short, if there were an acronym, is to screw something) to do things wrong last month were particularly interesting, especially with regard to - legislation AA's Pet (pets and legislators).



An early favorite was, of course, "Something Something Something Soup" (especially as a "defender", after "board" demands to be removed from the list) but when all is reduced to a story stand out from the rest. Blame it on my attention span on the internet damaged, but the message I feel defines the year of our 2K11 different lords detailing the history incredible Dajaz1 remains unexplained seizure-year ICE. It was really a Techdirt spoon in the real journalistic sense, and once I got to be surprised and disgusted by the actions of the ICE, I turned my attention to the rest of the Internet and saw the history of flying everywhere. There is nothing like being on the ground floor, but by proxy. It stands as a clear example of what SOPA had in store for the Internet, despite its supporters claim otherwise constant.

As for this week? It's much easier to detect if a major opportunity can be cut to a mere handful comparison (ie, 50-60). My choice is the account of a very deep entertaining self-immolation by e-mail exchange. Although there is no shortage of bad public relations firms and service Customer ugly is still far from being rare, it is not often that one has the opportunity to see someone who is fired and obtuse trip after trip back to the pump for more fuel. when all was said and done (probably not), Paul Christoforo, director of "Marketing Stratagy" for marketing public relations firm Ocean had been burned beyond recognition in a clear, although a shade sports and a mouth without repentance.

years seems to have a running theme main soup. However, there is an issue that has been compared to what it is not only important but also shows that the soup is not really necessary. The problem is that piracy is just a service issue. If the most creative to do and then connect with the fans and give them a reason to buy, they could see the money roll in. The story that really stuck with me through the years, it When Wil Wheaton, said television and movie studios for failing to make its programs and movies available online: "As soon as the entertainment industry offers an alternative to BitTorrent or an alternative to piracy, which the makes it so easy for honest people to access the programming, then dried to piracy. " The rest of the year, we've seen story after story of people and creative businesses succeed despite piracy. For example, we have the valve by turning the pirate haven of Russia in the European country most profitable. Louis CK We make a million dollars in 12 days selling your own routine. We have a number of others who are more or less the same. These successes show that piracy is only a barrier if you become one. This week is a little different for me. Of all the stories in this short week, we have one that is very interesting. In this story, we show that a recent study found that the return on investment for lobbying was just about 22,000%. While the number is surprising in itself, is apparently not Jack Abramoff. He believes that the return on investment is so great for a lobbying campaign managed to overshadow the negative return on investment of failure. It's the thought process that floods DC right now. It's absolutely terrifying. It also shows why so many DC are totally impervious to the will of public opinion on issues that negatively affect public opinion. In reality, no matter what a group of voters have to say, as there are full time sales, saying the opposite. I hope more people wake up to the corruption that has infiltrated DC and vote for real change.

Now, normally I immediately choose one of my favorite posts from my post of the year. The truth is that I'm not selfish or a megalomaniac. No, I'm really good. But in the interest of the season to give gifts, and as part of the New Year's resolution to come to pretend to care what others think of me, I will choose a piece discussing the cowardly anonymous and its value to online communities.
Written by Tim Cushing, also known as Tim groaned, Black Helmet, Mike, and sometimes slagathor Pod person, which is a very well since the excavations of the value and the practice of anonymous contributors. The nods specific Techdirt anonymous reviewers and the advantages and disadvantages of anonymity and have a profile called worked as I imagine it was meant to stimulate conversation and strong enough in the comments section, which for me is always the mark a good piece Techdirt.
