David Lowery, the frontman for the bands Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker, has become perhaps the most assertive and polarizing figure in the movement for musicians' rights in the Internet age. Between his appearances onstage leading his bands both of which recently toured speaking to the business of music classes he teaches at the University of Georgia, and the blog he helps run, the Trichordist, Lowery works to stop the exploitation of artists. Sometimes, he's downright angry. "Once the cobra bit me, I might as well just eat the cobra," he told the New York Times. This week he frustrated by the video for GoldieBlox, which makes toys for intellectually ambitious girls: The video shows the little tykes playing with an elaborate Rube Goldberg device, to the tune of the old Beasties song "Girls." The lyrics to a song that once celebrated girls for doing the dishes and laundry now describe them as building spaceships. A triumph for the self image of young females? Maybe, but since the Beastie Boys have a long and strong policy of not letting their work be used in advertising replica hermes bag something written into the will of Adam Yauch, who died last year it's a bit awkward. Doubly awkward is that GoldieBlox has sued the band in a declaratory judgment. (The two sides have since apparently come to agreement.)
Let's start with the Beastie Boys and their tussle with GoldieBlox. So: Were the Beasties ripped off here?
Yeah, I think they got ripped off. Let's back up. GoldieBlox appears to me to be a well lawyered Silicon Valley, angel funded start up.
This is not a feminist nonprofit.
It's a commercial business. Secondly, it's a parody. But if you're making a parody to sell a commercial product, you are to the left of the pirate party, if you're calling that fair use.
What makes a parody fair use?
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I've played one on TV. But I'm 90 percent sure that I'm 90 percent righter than most people writing about this. A parody has to be about the song like, say, if you're parodying a song, then the parody is about the song that's the sole point of it. Not to sell a commercial product for a for profit company. So you don't take a parody of a song and sell Shell Oil, or you don't parody a song to, for instance, advocate some position that maybe the Koch brothers want to advocate or that George Soros wants to advocate. It has to be specific. The parody has to be about the song. Secondly, the other Hermes birkin bags fake thing about this that's been widely misreported is that the Beastie Boys are not suing GoldieBlox. GoldieBlox is preemptively suing the Beastie Boys. One of the guys is dead, and apparently in his will it stipulated to continue the policy of no commercial use of Beastie Boys songs they had a long standing policy.
We're talking about Adam Yauch here.
Yes. Right. And it's a band that's been pretty rigid, and it's kind of unusual compared to even '60s bands that claimed to be uncommercial and revolutionary. The Beastie Boys have been quite strict about replica birkin handbags not licensing their stuff and not letting it go commercials. So it's kind of ethically awkward or nasty as well.
Let's just zoom out a little bit to Silicon Valley in general. There's Silicon Valley and then there's a more radical, ideological version of Silicon Valley, and I think that's what we're dealing with here. This phrase gets bandied about called "permission less innovation." The idea is that you just do stuff without asking permission. In the down the rabbit hole never never land of Silicon Valley, they seem to present this unabashedly as if this were a good thing.
It's good for them. Commercially, it's good for them. Let's think about it. Silicon Valley, there's a part of it that has this notion of permission less innovation, that they treat this as a good thing, but think about this as a civilian. You put your photos on Instagram and then is permissionless innovation just using those photos without your permission? Is permissionless innovation just using whatever you might have written on the Web in any way that any commercial entity sees fit? That's largely what we're talking about here.
The bigger fight here is that if they can do this with our songs, with our lyrics, then they can do it with your Instagram photos, they can do it with your Facebook profile, they can do it with anything you put on your Web page without your permission. That's what permissionless innovation is. I don't think the majority of people want that.
It strikes me that the people preaching permissionless innovation are the same people who work very hard to patent their software and their algorithms and things like that.
Yes. But, on the other hand, "permissionless innovation" is a favorite phrase of Google, and you see them in all kinds of patent battles like their Motorola patents with other companies. So, I guess, the big corporations get to have different intellectual property rights than artists or people who use Instagram or something like that. Do we want a world like that?
With GoldieBlox, though, this is a company that says, "Oh, we're Kickstartering these girls' toys," but then they go and preemptively sue the Beastie Boys using a really big and powerful law firm. This isn't David and Goliath, but it's been represented that way. People need to pay attention here. Why do these things happen this way?
I think Silicon Valley has gotten a pass on this. Most companies in other industries have; you think about oil companies funding global warming sort of studies that cast doubts on global warming, things like that, that are subject to scrutiny. But I think Silicon Valley in general has gotten some sort of pass from the general public and the press in general on these kinds of issues. And the end goal is not they're not Camper Van Beethoven lyrics and they're not Beastie Boys songs the end goal here, the end zone is when they get your data: your Facebook photos, your Instagram photos. When they get to you and do that as they see fit. We're going to wake up in a world one day where we look back and say, "What fake hermes leather handbags the fuck were we thinking?"
Let's talk about lyrics, specifically about lyric websites. You've urged the shutdown of sites like Rap Genius I urged licensing.
Licensing, OK. There's been a shutdown order, I think.
I haven't done anything.
I'm talking about the NMPA.
But the NMPA has basically put websites that were from my list, from my study, sites that appear not to be fully licensed, that are using artists' work. I published that list and then the third time I sort of published it, the NMPA would take this list and basically tell these sites that they needed to become licensed, or, if they didn't become licensed, they would move to shut them down. I'm not personally urging this action.
The other side of the argument says that people have been trading lyrics, scrawling them down from the records for decades, this is fair use Why does this battle seem worth fighting to you?
These are commercial. All of the sites that are on my list appear to be commercial endeavors; they're making a profit, or they're attempting to make a profit, or they're raising venture capital. Rap Genius, which is at the top of the list, is a very popular site interesting site, I have to admit but they got $15 million of venture capital from Andreessen Horowitz, which is a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. They obviously intend to make a profit if somebody's investing $15 million in them. If they're making a profit from our work, at the very least we should be asked permission to use the work. This is just about common decency, consent, any number of things that go along with what we normally think of our great just and fair society. That's what we're asking. If that involves paying a small royalty or a big royalty, let's work that out. Silicon Valley is to the left of the Pirate Party, apparently. Oddly enough.
One of the unlikeliest foes of the argument that people like you and David Byrne make is Dave Allen, who was the bassist for a Marxist rock band (Gang of Four), and once upon a time, I think, a critic of Spotify. What do you make of his point of view that musicians need to adjust to this brave new world, they need to start making revenues in new ways. Where does he seem to be coming from?
But we have adjusted. We are making revenues in new ways. I think he's an advertising executive. He's on the board of Cash Music, which admittedly accepts money from Google. I think he speaks from his commercial interests. I can't be sure, but to me it looks like he speaks from his commercial interests. Look, to call David Byrne a Luddite is ridiculous. David Byrne has been one of the most forward thinking, innovative artists of our generation. Just because his view or my view of how our technological future looks is different than David Allen, that doesn't mean you're against technology. We have differing views of the future, our future world, our future of how we use technology. One of the best books on this subject is "Freeloading" by Chris Ruen. He and others have pointed out that "Happy Birthday to You" is not in the public domain, it goes back to the 19th century, but it's going to be owned by Warner Bros. for years to come.

pilot technology ALIAS could replace pilot and save lives
Helicopter maker Sikorsky's chief autonomy engineer Igor Cherepinsky said it won't put pilots out of business, but it will "transform" them.
"Today's pilots spend a lot of their time making sure the aircraft is stable, it's going in the right direction, it's going the right replica hermes bag speed, obeying the laws of the air if you will, so ALIAS copilot can take care of all of that and free the human being to supervise and make sure that the bigger mission is running its course," Cherepinsky said.
"The first step is to let the pilots get used to the technology, reduce the crew, and show that we can do it safely with one pilot and get the pilot community used to that fact. And then we'll go from there," he said.
The technology is promising enough that the Defense Advance Research Project Agency (DARPA) is investing $57.5 million to make the digital co pilot a reality for replica hermes handbags military and commercial aircraft within the next decade.
During a demonstration, a chopper could be flown from a tablet on the ground, controlling the altitude and flight plan.
Because ALIAS is being developed with the military, CBS News was not allowed to show replica birkin handbags everything on the handheld, but Van Cleave said it only required a finger to move the aircraft.
Designers believe safeguards can be built into a digital co pilot to stop a repeat of the Germanwings crash, where a lone pilot intentionally flew an airliner into the ground.
"ALIAS can permit under the right circumstances, handing off the aircraft to an off board controller. To let somebody else, another human, fake hermes leather handbags help take control of the aircraft in the event of the emergency," DARPA program manager Dan Patt said.

Pop chameleon David Bowie dead of cancer
LONDON David Bowie, the visionary British rock star who coupled hits such as "Space Oddity" with trend setting pop personas like "Ziggy Stardust," has died at age 69, apparently of liver cancer, just two days after releasing what appears to be the parting gift of a new album.
A pioneering chameleon of performance imagery, Bowie straddled the worlds of hedonistic rock, fashion, art and drama for five decades, pushing the boundaries of music and his own sanity to produce some replica hermes bag of the most innovative songs of his generation.
"David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer," read a statement on Bowie's Facebook page dated Jan. 10. Bowie's son, film director replica hermes handbags Duncan Jones, confirmed the death.
A spokesman for Bowie said he died on Sunday but declined to say where he died or from what type of cancer. Bowie had kept a low profile after having emergency heart surgery in 2004 and it was not publicly known that he had cancer.
Belgian stage director Ivo van Hove, who directed the current Hermes birkin bags fake off Broadway experimental play "Lazarus," which Bowie co created and for which he provided much of the music, said the singer had been diagnosed with liver cancer some 15 months ago.
"He told me more than a year and three months ago just after he had heard himself . he said it was liver cancer," van Hove told Dutch public radio broadcaster NOS in an interview on Monday.
"I saw a man who didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die. . He was in a battle for his life. Sometimes he looked at me and I saw a man who was suffering through and through because he knew the clock was ticking," the director told Dutch TV in a separate interview.
One of Bowie's last known public appearances was in New York in mid December to watch the show, which is due to close on Jan 19.
In London, mourners laid flowers, lit candles and sang his greatest hits besides a mural to Bowie in the edgy Brixton district of south London where he was born
Fans also gathered and laid flowers outside the apartment building in New York's trendy Soho district where he had a home.
Bowie died two days after releasing "Blackstar", which won some of the best critical reviews of his career. A music video for the first single, "Lazarus," showed him lying in a hospital bed with bandages across his eyes, and singing lyrics that after his death, took on added poignancy.
"I've got scars that can't be seen. I've got drama, can't be stolen. Everybody knows me now. Look up here, man, I'm in danger. I've got nothing left to lose," Bowie sang.
"He made 'Blackstar' for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it," Bowie's record producer, Tony Visconti, wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.
Sales and streaming of "Blackstar" and Bowie's older albums soared on Monday, rising to the top of Apple's iTunes charts in the United States and the UK. Streaming service Spotify said streams of Bowie's music were up 2,700 percent on Monday.
Tributes poured in from titans of popular music, including the Rolling Stones, Madonna, rapper Kanye West and Paul McCartney.
"I'm proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world. . His star will shine in the sky forever," McCartney said.
"The Rolling Stones are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend David Bowie," the Stones said. "He was an extraordinary artist, and a true original."
Madonna said on Twitter: "Talented. Unique. Genius. Game Changer. The Man who Fell to Earth. Your Spirit Lives on Forever!"
The Vatican said: "Check ignition and may God's love be with you" borrowing a verse from Bowie's first hit, "Space Oddity."
Born David Jones in south London on Jan. 8, 1947, he took up the saxophone at 13 before changing his name to David Bowie to avoid confusion with the Monkees' Davy Jones, according to Rolling Stone.
He shot to fame in Britain in 1969 with "Space Oddity," whose words he said were inspired by watching Stanley Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey" while stoned.
Bowie's haunting lyrics summed up the loneliness of the Cold War space race between the United States and the Soviet Union and coincided with the Apollo spacecraft landing on the moon.
Bowie married the Somali American supermodel Iman in 1992 with whom he had a daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones, born in 2000.
It was Bowie's 1972 portrayal of a doomed bisexual rock envoy from space, Ziggy Stardust, that propelled him to global stardom. Bowie and Ziggy, wearing outrageous costumes, makeup and bright orange hair, took the pop world by storm.
He defined the theatrical glam rock movement with the albums "Hunky Dory", "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", and "Aladdin Sane".
"Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly," Bowie sang with a red lightning bolt across his face and flamboyant jumpsuits. "Making love with his ego, Ziggy sucked up into his mind, like a leper messiah."
By now an influential symbol of artistic reinvention venturing into the theatre, film and fashion worlds, Bowie continued to innovate, helping produce Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" and Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" album.
This was a period that saw Bowie sporting an fake hermes leather handbags array of fantastic costumes, some said to based on the chilling Kubrick movie "A Clockwork Orange".
"The trousers may change, but the actual words and subjects I've always chosen to write with are things to do with isolation, abandonment, fear and anxiety, all of the high points of one's life," Bowie said in a rare interview in 2002.

Matt Lauer Failed The Moderator Test
NEW YORK Wednesday night's Commander in Chief forum on NBC should have gone down as the first time the two 2016 presidential candidates shared a stage. But it will be remembered replica Van bracelet pink gold largely for the shortcomings of the man who was tasked with moderating.
Matt Lauer, the "Today" show host, flunked in primetime. And his failure was even more remarkable because he had the very information he needed to succeed. invasion, even though he's falsely claimedthroughout hisentirecandidacyto have been staunchly opposed to it.
"My opponent was for the war in Iraq," Clinton said at the forum simulcast onNBC and MSNBC. "He says he wasn't. You can you can fake van clover bracelet go back and look at the record. He supported it. He told Howard Stern he supported it."
But when Trump took the stage in the second half of the event, he cited his criticism of the war in an August 2004 Esquire story as evidence he opposed the invasion, which actually began 16 months earlier. In a room full of Iraq War veterans, Lauer didn't challenge Trump's false claim.
The failure to fact check on Iraq didn't go unnoticed among many journalists on Twitter, including Lauer's colleague, NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray.
Trump repeats that he was against the Iraq war from the outset.
That is not true. Hegrilled Clintonfrom the start on her handling of classified information while using a private email account as secretary of state. After several questions on the subject, Lauer turned to a member of the audience who also referred to the email situation in asking Clinton about handling sensitive information.
Clinton's use of a private email account is perhaps the most replica Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet litigated subject of the presidential campaign. That doesn't make it unworthy of resurfacing. But the amount of time Lauer lingered on the topic drew befuddlement from Clinton's backers and some second guessing from other media members, who wondered why other weightier topics weren't given the same attention. "Well, I've built a great company. I've been all over the world," Trump began. intervention in Libya that toppled late dictator Muammar Gaddafi. should intervene,as another of Lauer's colleagues, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, noted on Twitter.
Two of Trump biggest critiques of Clinton are Iraq and Libya, both of which he supported. senator or secretary of State when the Iraq and Libya decisions were made, as was the case with Clinton, so he clearly had less of a role in these military interventions. To his credit, he didconfront Trump on a 2013 tweet in which Trump suggested sexual assaults had risen in the military because women were allowed to serve alongside men.
Still, Lauer neglected to challenge Trump on a number of controversial statements and past actions that would have had obvious relevance to the audience of veterans. They included the businessman'sfour Vietnam draft deferments, mocking Sen.
By the end of the night,Lauer himself had become the story, which is often not the way a moderator wants his debate to be remembered.
Trumps getting softer questions and Lauer mainly isn as aggressive. But Trumps still not doing great. Lauer interrupted Clinton answers repeatedly to move on. Not once for Trump. Tough to be a woman running for President

Power Of Intention
What is the power of intention, apart from being the latest reincarnation of the "power of positive thinking" idea? And does it work? It might as long as the goal is more important to you than the idea.
You see, intention alone won't get you to your goals.
If the universe doesn't care, can the "positive thinking" or other ways to focus your thoughts help you get what you want? They can, because there are other reasons why it matters what you think and what you intend to have happen. Using the "power of intention" can help you if used as the tool that it is.
An Example Of The Power Of Intention
My wife fake hermes leather handbags and I were looking for a car a while back. We decided that a Chevy Astro Van would work well for our purposes, and we wanted a used one at a good price, and only a few years old. With that intention in mind, we soon saw Chevy Astros everywhere. They were there before, naturally, but now we were "tuned in" to them.
You've probably had a similar experience at some time. You become aware of something, and you start to see more of the same all over. Just count the red bicycles you see this week and there will soon seem to be more red bicycles than you thought there could be.
This isn't mystical. It is due to the reticular cortex a small organ in your brain that directs incoming stimulus to your conscious or unconscious mind. This "gatekeeper" of your mind works in any area you direct your attention, so it will help you "tune in" to whatever you replica hermes birkin handbags decide to focus on.
For the reticular cortex to work for you, just have to focus on what you want. Be more specific in what your intentions are for best results. Of course, just intending to do something, be someone or get something isn't enough. This is nothing more than wishful thinking if more isn't done.
We were seeing those Chevy Astros all over, but we also had to call to set up appointments to test drive the cars. We set aside the money too. I found a friend who knew about mechanics, so we would know we were getting a good van. Eventually, we bought exactly what we needed, and for 40% less than it was worth. This is the power of intention when it goes beyond wishful thinking to actions that make goals happen.
This "power of intention" is a nice idea, but ideas are not ultimate and infallible truths. They are tools, and when you use them as fake herme bag such you get much further in life. Don't be the person who discovers the wonders of a hammer while hermes replica pounding nails, but then tries to use it to cut wood or pound in screws. Wisdom says drop a tool and picks up another when necessary.
It may not seem like it sometimes, but clinging to an idea in all circumstances is just as silly as clinging to that hammer when it's time to cut a board or bolt something. Use the power of intention as far as it works then (to program your reticular cortex), but drop it and put those other tools to work when the time comes.
What is the power of intention, apart from being the latest reincarnation of the "power of positive thinking" idea? And does it work? It might as long as the goal is more important to you than the idea.
You see, intention alone won't get you to your goals.
If the universe doesn't care, can the "positive thinking" or other ways to focus your thoughts help you get what you want? They can, because there are other reasons why it matters what you think and what you intend to have happen. Using the "power of intention" can help you if used as the tool that it is.
An Example Of The Power Of Intention
My wife fake hermes leather handbags and I were looking for a car a while back. We decided that a Chevy Astro Van would work well for our purposes, and we wanted a used one at a good price, and only a few years old. With that intention in mind, we soon saw Chevy Astros everywhere. They were there before, naturally, but now we were "tuned in" to them.
You've probably had a similar experience at some time. You become aware of something, and you start to see more of the same all over. Just count the red bicycles you see this week and there will soon seem to be more red bicycles than you thought there could be.
This isn't mystical. It is due to the reticular cortex a small organ in your brain that directs incoming stimulus to your conscious or unconscious mind. This "gatekeeper" of your mind works in any area you direct your attention, so it will help you "tune in" to whatever you replica hermes birkin handbags decide to focus on.
For the reticular cortex to work for you, just have to focus on what you want. Be more specific in what your intentions are for best results. Of course, just intending to do something, be someone or get something isn't enough. This is nothing more than wishful thinking if more isn't done.
We were seeing those Chevy Astros all over, but we also had to call to set up appointments to test drive the cars. We set aside the money too. I found a friend who knew about mechanics, so we would know we were getting a good van. Eventually, we bought exactly what we needed, and for 40% less than it was worth. This is the power of intention when it goes beyond wishful thinking to actions that make goals happen.
This "power of intention" is a nice idea, but ideas are not ultimate and infallible truths. They are tools, and when you use them as fake herme bag such you get much further in life.

real estate to new heights
With offshore buyers looking to snap up some of the priciest real estate in the Lower Mainland, realtor David Green figured the use of drones to capture aerial video of these mansions was a no brainer.
So three years ago, he and business partner, Simeon Garratt, set up Lift Marketing to send real estate sales soaring in a brand new direction.
Since then, they have acquired three drones unmanned aircraft to swoop and soar around palaces for sale, capturing bird's eye views of hillsides, swimming pools, rooftop patios, every glimpse of opulence and sometimes entire neighbourhoods, reflecting such nearby must haves as private schools.
"We have a unique buyers' situation where a lot of buyers aren't physically present, so this highlights the property," explained Green over coffee in Yaletown, adding that drones are particularly effective in neighbourhoods such as West Vancouver, with its steep topography.
You would think flying these drones would be a breeze, but Lift Marketing has to comply with strict Transport Canada regulations and has to obtain a Special Flight Operation Certificate. They have also hired an experienced operator of remote control devices to operate them.
Drones can be dangerous. Witness the recent bloodied hand of Spanish pop singer Enrique Iglesias, who reached out and touched one on stage.
The cost of one of these drone shot videos will run a seller anywhere from $750 to around $1,500.
Small potatoes, perhaps, when you consider some of these mansions can run you around $10 million.
Green said that while drones are fake herme bag used mostly for high end real estate, how much is a hermes handbag given the relatively modest cost and advancements in technology, he figures they should be used more extensively.
"I think they should be used for everything, whether it's a quick aerial photo or whether it requires a full video, whether it's a million dollar property or a five million dollar property."
Drone work can be fairly labour intensive, with about two hours on the ground required to produce a 30 to 90 second video. Garrett, who also speaks Mandarin, does most of the editing.
Lift Marketing operates out of Vancouver and Kelowna, where Green spent the first decade of his 16 year career as a realtor.
So far, clients love the service, said Green, adding that some enjoy showing up on site to watch the drone being launched and performing its aerial magic.
