Should Organizations Get To Ignore Copyright For The Sake Of Preservation?

Copyright was clearly designed for a different age: when not everyone was a "publisher." And while we've spent years pointing out many of the different problems that has caused, here's another one: how is a library or some other institution charged with "archiving" written works for posterity supposed to deal with copyright laws that can often make such archival activities against the law? Well, the Library of Congress and a bunch of other organizations have a suggestion: let them all ignore copyright law for the sake of archiving.

Change for Change's Sake Not Always Good

Why is it that new, "better" site designs/architecture often seem worse from a user perspective? Fact is, I had gotten used to the old, "bad" weather page from Environment Canada. You know, the one that didn't require me to click "more info" so I could get the actual forecast instead of just the pretty sun with cloud icon? The one that had the "record values" in the place I knew to find it, instead of having to go hunting?

Only Buddy Shivraj was prepared to take a risk on a grand scale for the sake of Cricket World Cup

I must commend the Guyanese press for highlighting the anticipated change of ownership of Guyana’s leading international hotel at Providence, although I sensed a veiled grudge against Buddy Shivraj. For me, regardless of Shivraj’s background, once he does legitimate business and at the same time adheres to the rule of law, he is entitled like any other citizen of the free world to turn a profit, be it windfall, abnormal gains or high rate of return. With respect to this business transaction, the Guyanese public ought to only concern itself with the extent of any loss or gain to the treasury and why and what the sociological impact to the greater society is.

The logic doesn’t make sense to me either, but it does to those who follow it.
