Rulemaking Fixes Critical DMCA Wrongs
San Francisco – The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) won three critical exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anticircumvention provisions today, carving out new legal protections for consumers who modify their cell phones and artists who remix videos — people who, until now, could have been sued for their non-infringing or fair use activities.

In addition to the” Weird” participants, what other Miami artists have you been keeping an eye on? That’s tough because I’m so psyched about all of the “Weird” participants! Clifton Childree is a perennial favorite. … Nicolas Lobo is doing a fascinating portrait of a former downstairs neighbor. … Adler Guerrier is like a sleuth. … Christy Gast has an aptitude for exploring nature that I share. … I wish I could partake in a Jason Hedges food performance every day. … Who else? Robert Chambers, Mette Tommerup, Bhakti Baxter. … Oh boy, instead of writing a book of names I’m going to suggest seeing the new show “New Work Miami 2010” at MAM. That covers many people I think are making interesting work.
