Don’t you just love when your internet connection goes flaky and you get an email out to your ISP and they respond with “We’re having some trouble with our proxy server, we’ll let you know when it’s working properly”, and then you find that the connection has been OK for hours, but no note from them? Yeah I’m always in the habit of checking it for myself and not waiting on them, and I’m glad they got it fixed, but really, wouldn’t it be nice if they actually meant it when they said “we’ll let you know”?

    So towards the end of last week, I wrote out and fully explained, in great detail, how MyDoom worked and what it meant when you got “bounce” messages claiming that you sent out a virus. (Or, in fact, what it didn’t mean, since they have no point.) This is at least the third time I…

    According to Lessig that’s exactly what may happen in Mexico: “The Mexican Congress is about to consider a revision to its copyright law. Among it many changes, the law will extend the term of copyright from life-plus-70 to life-plus-100. (And no doubt thus beginning yet another cycle of “harmonization” around the world.)
