Interview in the Register with Mark Radcliff: “The man who rules open source law”. He has got some interesting - though not new - views on the ASP loophole retained in the GPL v.3 and the attempt to close the loophole in the Affero General Public License (AGPL) and the CPAL (Common Public Attribution License). He helped drafting the latter.

Take notice of this research:
Bad sleeping ‘doubles heart risk’
Researchers say both too much and too little sleep is linked to a doubled risk of fatal cardiovascular disease.
Our findings indicate that consistently sleeping around seven hours per night is optimal for health, says Professor Francesco Cappuccio, University of Warwick.

When Larry Lessig is in Denmark to speak, I will not miss out. Today, I heard him speak at the Denmark’s Social Forum on copyright reform. Henrik Moltke was moderating the session which also included Rasmus Fleischer from Piratbyrån. Not much new there. There is a good comment on the session (in Danish) here.
Walking away from the tent in which the session took place I couldn’t help notice the relative small number of people present at the forum (ok, everybody might have been to lunch or inside the tents attending other sessions). The event seemed like a very clear sympton of the miserable state of the Danish (and maybe not just the Danish) radical left wing. Mostly, people at my age or older (that means OLD folks) clinging on the old memes that have died out everywhere else than in their small enclosed circles. Believe or not, there where sessions on things like the economic theories of Che Guevarras.

Last week I had the opportunity to meet for the first Allan J. Vestergaard. I had previously heard a lot positive things about Allan from different people, among these from Henrik Duedahl Hoyer, my colleague at Bender von Haller Dragsted, who worked with Allan at CoCom several years ago. Everybody that I talk to emphasizes that Allan is extremely focused and very good at execting strategies at the companies that he works with. And I must say that after talking to Allan for an hour or so, he is definitely someone that I hope that I will get a chance to work with in the furture.

I am a member of the International Technology Law Association (ITECHLAW.ORG) and almost always participate in the annual meeting. This year’s conference will be in London in November.
Participating in the annual meetings for me is mostly a networking opportunity. Unfortunately, the level of quality of the sessions is not always high enough to justify attending the the annual meetings. In particular, the sessions on open source the last two annual meetings have been disappointing. Far too basic and simplistic views presented by lawyers who did not seem to have their hands very much into the real nitty gritty of open source law.
This Friday (28 September 2007) I (together with a bunch of other Danish IT lawyers) had the pleasure of having lunch with the ITechLaw President, Enrique J. Batalla, who is a prominent lawyer from Madrid. I didn’t get a chance to discuss ITechLaw issues with Enrique, but he gave another extremely valuable advice to me as a father of to kids that eventually (who knows) will go the university:
“Never allow the kids to enroll into Erasmus program (the European intra-university exchange program). You will loose them forever.”
Both Enrique’s kids went abroad for a semester on the Erasmus program, found love, got married and now lives in Berlin and Oslo

Really interesting movie that bases it video only from CCTV surveillance cameras from London.
the movie
SYNOPSIS In a society under the reformed ‘Real-Time’ Calendar, without history nor future, everybody is faceless. A woman panics when she wakes up one day with a face. With the help of the Spectral Children she slowly finds out more about the lost power and history of the human face and begins the search for its future.
FACELESS was produced under the rules of the ‘Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers’. The manifesto states, amongst other things, that additional cameras are not permitted at filming locations, as the omnipresent existing video surveillance (CCTV) is already in operation.
“RealTime orients the life of every citizen. Eating, resting, going to work, getting married – every act is tied to RealTime. And every act leaves a trace of data – a footprint in the snow of noise…” (excerpt of FACELESS)
