| Date | Title | Description |
| 31.05.2002 | Many Dot Names Break The Rules | This should be surprising to no one (except for those at ICANN, of course), but it seems that many people (gasp!) registered .name domains that weren’t their own names. Oh, the horror. In fact, some people (apparently only 2) registered the... |
| 29.05.2002 | AT&T Goes From Preventing Spam, To Spamming Everyone | Last week AT&T Broadband had a problem where their own marketing messages were stopped by their spam filter. This week, however, it turns out that they accidentally spammed a message to thousands of Usenet newsgroups. I guess they’re ju... |
| 29.05.2002 | Hey, Don't Forget About Software Pirates | It seems the folks at the BSA are getting jealous of all the attention their counterparts at the RIAA and MPAA are getting for screaming loudly about “internet piracy!”. That used to be the sole domain of the folks at the BSA. So, now they’... |
| 24.05.2002 | Comcast Sued Over Tracking | Back in February there was a huge uproar about Comcast admitting they were tracking users online. They quickly admitted it was a mistake and stopped doing it. However, now the lawyers are swarming and a multimillion dollar lawsuit has been ... |
| 23.05.2002 | Vivendi Selling Actual MP3 Online | Could it be? A major label is actually trying to sell a real MP3 online. In a surprising move, Vivendi and Maverick Records are going to try selling a single for $0.99. This is an actual MP3 with no copy protection. They’re hoping that sell... |
| 23.05.2002 | Second Land Rush For .Info Names | Back in October we talked about just how badly the .info registration process was. Originally it was only supposed to be for trademark holders to get their .info domain. However, many people simply lied about owning trademarks and ended up ... |
| 23.05.2002 | DeCSS Case Appealed To California Supreme Court | Last week, when I saw Robin Gross speak on the 2600/DeCSS case, she said it would be difficult for the Supreme Court to take the appeal, because they generally preferred to take cases that had a number of lower court decisions that needed t... |
| 21.05.2002 | Tough To Find Star Wars Online | For all the talk about various movies being downloadable online, it’s apparently very difficult to actually get the movie you want. A number of different people have told me that they’ve tried to download Attack of the Clones multiple times... |
| 21.05.2002 | CARP Rejected | After a tremendous amount of fighting, it appears that the CARP webcast royalty payment plan that would likely have driven most webcasters out of business, has been rejected. There was no explanation given, but it seems that the amount of l... |
| 20.05.2002 | Kazaa Virus Designed To Stop Copyrighted Material From Trading | There’s been a lot of articles today talking about the “Benjamin” virus that is getting passed around by Kazaa. Early articles on it suggested that it had a commercial purpose, to drive people to certain websites which have ads. However, th... |
| 20.05.2002 | Customers Implementing Internet Death Penalty | A new study suggests that visitors to websites that they find don’t work well, or don’t give them what they want are unlikely to ever return. Of course, this sounds really obvious, but, it seems companies still don’t care very much about ma... |
| 17.05.2002 | Senate Approves Identity Theft Bills | Could it be that the Senate has actually passed some bills that support consumer’s rights? Am I missing something? I’m so used to reading about bills that trample on users’ rights in favor of corporation rights that I’m skeptical of bills t... |
| 16.05.2002 | Privacy Nuts Spend More | This one is particularly interesting when put together with the “I Love Spam” post beneath it. A new study has shown that so-called “privacy nuts” tend to spend more money online and also are much more receptive to opt-in advertisements (ca... |
| 16.05.2002 | ACLU Still Says Face Recognition Doesn't Work | I am not a big fan of face recognition and doubt that it works well. I agree with people who say it’s probably causing much more trouble than it’s worth at airports. However, I still find it odd that the ACLU thinks they’re qualified to jud... |
| 14.05.2002 | Does Synergy Exist? | Last week we had an article about how no big technology mergers had ever succeeded. Now, the Washington Post has an article saying that large media mergers always seem to fail. They go into a bit more detail, quoting a number of people sayi... |
| 14.05.2002 | Paying A Copyright License Fee To ISPs For Entertainment | For a while now, I’ve been wondering about what AOL is thinking. Here’s a company that’s trying to jumpstart broadband adoption – and they keep saying they need a “killer app”. Meanwhile, the other side of their business is desperately tryi... |
| 14.05.2002 | Net Plays Key Role In Big Decisions | The latest research coming from the folks at Pew has found that (not at all surprisingly), many people turn to the internet for helping making big decisions such as concerning education or health care. However, they’re much less likely to g... |
| 13.05.2002 | RealNames Is NoName Any More | I have to admit (as I’ve said before) that I never understood the point of using RealNames or (even worse) what their business was. They basically let people type keywords into the URL window to get to a webpage. Possibly useful for some pe... |
| 10.05.2002 | RIAA And Jupiter Analyst Fight It Out | A few weeks back we posted a link to a story about a study done by Jupiter showing that, overall, people who download music tend to buy more music as well. Now, the RIAA has struck back and has explained why the Jupiter report is wrong and ... |
| 09.05.2002 | Fake Xbox Emulator Really Spyware | It’s getting to the point where it’s not worth downloading and installing any software these days. Apparently, some folks created a fake Xbox emulator because they knew plenty of people would download it. However, instead of an emulator, th... |
| 09.05.2002 | Tiered Broadband | For years analysts have been predicting rapid broadband growth and we have yet too see it. Without compelling broadband applications most potential subscribers can’t justify paying $50 a month for faster email. The latest broadband study fr... |
| 08.05.2002 | Mailbox Bomber's Website | It’s amazing how easy it is to find embarrassing things about people online. Remember the embarrassing usenet posts of John Walker Lindh? Now people from all over the world are flocking to the website of a band supposedly fronted by the guy... |
| 08.05.2002 | Make The Professionals Pay More For Domain Names | With all these new top level domain offerings, you would think it would help to drive the prices down.

| 07.05.2002 | Happy Mother's Day: Here's A Modem | As we get closer to Mother’s Day, here are a couple of articles about Mom’s online. First we have a study showing that mothers spend more time online than teenagers and most think they’re more web savvy than their kids. There’s also another... |
| 07.05.2002 | Most Job Seekers Loyal To Single Job Site | A new study shows that most people who use a job site, stick to just one. Obviously, that’s not Techdirt’s own career site for most people. While using multiple sites offers greater opportunities, it appears that most people just don’t want... |
| 06.05.2002 | False Domain Registrations Gets Your Five Years In Jail | There’s a new bill in Congress that would criminalize false domain registrations. This strikes me as being a bit on the excessive side. While I realize that false domain information is problematic, I can’t figure out how or why it should be... |
| 06.05.2002 | Selling Illegal Explosives On eBay | In general, if you’re looking to move some sort of illegal explosive products, it’s probably not the smartest move to sell them on eBay. A guy who did so has been sentenced to nearly a year in jail. It’s unclear from the article, though, if... |
| 01.05.2002 | Federal Spam Bill Moving Along | A federal anti-spam bill is likely to be voted on soon and could very well pass. Whether or not it does any good is another question. It’s an “opt-out” bill, which means that if you tell a spammer you don’t want to hear from them again, the... |
| 01.05.2002 | It's Lawsuit Time | The Miller family from San Carlos, California are going to court in order to try to keep control of their MillerTime.com domain. Not surprisingly, Miller Brewing wants the domain for themselves. Of course, the Miller family registered the d... |
| 30.04.2002 | Scams, Scams, And More Scams | It still amazes me that there are enough people out there who fall for these scams that it even makes it worth while to go after these folks. However, with the numbers being thrown around in these cases, apparently there are tons and tons o... |
| 29.04.2002 | Good News For Newspapers That Are Online | A new study has shown that people go to the websites of local newspapers to read local news online rather than just going to one of the big news sites, like Yahoo.

| 29.04.2002 | Porn Operator Has To Check On Affiliates | An operator of an online porn network has been told that it has to police its affiliate sites to make sure they don’t have any copyrighted materials on their sites. This is a bad ruling. If the affiliates are breaking copyright laws, then t... |
| 29.04.2002 | Ads.com To Take On AdCritic | A lot of people have been upset since the shutdown of AdCritic.com and were happy to hear that at least they got bought by AdAge and were going to relaunch. However, it seems that a new site, Ads.com has beaten them to the punch and has lau... |
| 26.04.2002 | New Privacy Protection Bill Actually The Opposite | Last week we were very surprised to see Senator Hollings (currently known for introducing the horribly dangerous CBDTPA bill) introducing a “consumer privacy protection” bill. For a Senator so well known for trampling consumer interests in ... |

| 24.04.2002 | Music Traders Buy More | Well, here’s another study to combat the RIAA’s continued attempt to take away our ability to share music (in fact, they were still trying to take away our rights, today). Jupiter has found out that music sharing makes some people buy more ... |
| 24.04.2002 | Technology Is Increasing Workloads | So, first we post a story earlier today about companies improving their businesses thanks to technology and now we get the other side of the story. Employees are increasingly saying that their workload is increasing, due to technology – and... |
| 23.04.2002 | Can't Trust Anything You Read Online | Just a reminder that, even when it comes from a major news source, you can’t trust what you read online. Some surfers this weekend came across a “hidden” obituary of Ronald Reagan that was posted to the Scripps Howard News Service, so they ... |
| 23.04.2002 | Congress Critters Stand Up To CARP | Well, it seems that all that grassroots lobbying has finally caught the attention of some folks in Congress. 20 Representatives today “urged” the US Copyright Office to reconsider the CARP plan that is supposed to go into effect next month.... |

| 23.04.2002 | The Big Four Wireless Carriers Have Too Much Control Over Handset Choice | Back in January we had an article about a lawsuit against the major wireless carriers that wasn’t particularly clear about what the lawsuit actually was about.

| 23.04.2002 | One Porn Napper Has Over 4,500 Domains | We’ve mentioned previously the practive of porn napping where a porn website buys up the (usually accidentally) expired domain name of some other website and redirects it to their own porn site. My first reaction was that this was a stupid ... |
| 23.04.2002 | Always On Broadband More Important Than Speed | While I know plenty of people who would definitely agree with this statement, it’s the first time I’ve seen it mentioned as a major reason why people sign up for broadband. They’re sick and tired of having to log in and dialup every time th... |
| 22.04.2002 | Gates Testifies | The story of the day appears to be Bill Gates on the stand. Like all of the witnesses, he had to submit his testimony in a written document, and takes the stand only for cross examination. Every news site is covering the story, so I’ll just... |
| 18.04.2002 | Wireless Data Will Change The World | Here’s an article about a speech given by Cingular’s CEO at iWireless World where he says that wireless data will be like color television – in that it will change lives and everyone will need to get it. That may be true, but it’s not going... |

| 16.04.2002 | People Don't Trust Online Content | It seems that most web surfers don’t trust e-commerce sites. They even trust the federal government more – and that says something. Of course, maybe there would be a bit more trust if more of those sites actually did what they said they wou... |
| 16.04.2002 | P3P Gets W3C Blessing | The W3C has apparently recommended the P3P privacy standard, which isn’t that big of a surprise. P3P is designed to “automate” the checking of privacy policies – so you know whether the various sites your visiting will protect your privacy ... |
| 16.04.2002 | Digital Music Bigger Than Napster | A new study telling us what we already knew. The untimely death of Napster, thanks to the shortsighted RIAA has done absolutely nothing to stop music trading. Also not surprising is the news that all of the music labels restrictive attempts... |
| 12.04.2002 | Garageband Coming Back | Garageband.com, which had officially shut down a few months back is now coming back thank to the support of some employees, musicians and fans. They say it will be scaled down, but that they couldn’t just let the site die. I think it’s good... |
| 11.04.2002 | Court Orders Site To Stop Mentioning Competitor | Well, this should be another case to add to the books on internet law.

| 11.04.2002 | Hillary Rosen Pushing For Congressional Support To Take Away Consumer Rights | It appears that getting Senator Hollings to put forth the CBDTPA bill (also known as the “consumers? what consumers?” bill) isn’t enough for Hillary Rosen and the RIAA.

| 09.04.2002 | Analysts Knew They Were Hyping Junk Stocks | While I’m sure it comes as no surprise to most people that Henry “Hype ‘Em Up” Blodget was hyping up stocks that were worthless, it is surprising that he and his fellow analysts at Merrill Lynch were stupid enough to admit that in emails to... |

L... |
| 04.04.2002 | Rent A Hacker? | The site certainly sounds like a hoax or a scam, but you never know. Newsbytes has an article about a site advertising hacking services for anyone with the cash to pay up. The site BeAHacker.com says they’ll break into school computers to c... |
| 02.04.2002 | More Problems With Streaming Audio Royalties | We’ve already discussed some reasons why the new streaming audio royalties system the copyright office has designed is bad.
