IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship

ric482 writes "With the release of the Mozilla Foundation's 2007 financial report, questions have been raised by the IRS, who are due to perform an audit on the non-profit organization behind the massively popular Firefox browser. Last year, the Foundation received $66 million of its total $75 million revenue (88 percent) from search engine maestros Google, so the IRS are looking for blood over the organization's tax exempt status. Back in 2006, Mozilla got $59.5 million from Google — around 85 percent of the organization's revenue. Google and Mozilla are part of a 'you scratch my back, I'll pay your bills' sort of agreement with the Google search bar firmly placed in the toolbar, and on the default homepage. Things were a bit rocky a couple of months back when Google unveiled the Beta-run of its Chrome browser, but Mozilla and Google h

Technology, Identity, and Inertia through the Lens of 'The Digital Photography Company'

Why do established firms find some technological change so challenging? While existing research has identified numerous sources of inertia in established firms exploring new technological domains, identity is a critical piece of the puzzle. As the core essence of an organization, identity directs and constrains action. The routines, procedures, capabilities, knowledge base, and beliefs of an organization all reflect its identity. So when a technology is identity-challenging to an organization—when pursuing it would violate the core beliefs of both insiders and outsides about what the firm represents—organizations face significant obstacles to adopting it. This study by Tripsas highlights the importance of recognizing and evaluating the tradeoffs associated with technological opportunity and organizational identity.

Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act Becomes Public Law 110-403

On October 13, 2008, the President signed the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act into law (Pub. L. 110-403) (the PRO-IP Act). The new statute strengthens the intellectual property laws of the United States in several respects. For example, it amends Section 410 of the Copyright Act to codify the doctrine of fraud on the Copyright Office in the registration process. The law also clarifies that registration is not a prerequisite for a criminal copyright prosecution and makes it unlawful (civilly or criminally) to export unauthorized copies of protected works, including copies of phonorecords, from the United States. In addition, the law amends Section 506 of the Copyright Act to provide for the forfeiture of any property used to commit or facilitate the commission of a criminal offense involving copyrighte
