Domain Defense Advocate |

A group of people (you?)
with their ears to the tracks who are willing to spend a couple of

up to its attackers. Just as Colgate was stopped in its questionable
demand for Ajax.org, perhaps other cases can also be stopped by this
campaign. |

" From the beginning, the development
of the music industry has al-ways been closely connected to the progress
in technology, and new media were often causing changes of the market
structure.In December 1877, Thomas A. Edison claimed patent for his
"phonograph", a cylindric recording and playing device that
was used as a dictating machine. The first phonographic enterprises
were founded, first the American Phonograph Company and as an independent
distributor for the Columbia District the Columbia Phonograph Company,
which transformed in 1938 to the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)
and is since 1988 owned by Sony - the oldest recording company in
the world..." |

" We had a visitor at our church
the other night. Perhaps this man has visited your church as well.
When one of our ushers greeted him before the service and inquired
as to this man's line of work, he would only say that he "travelled
a lot." He sat through the entire service, THEN revealed that
he had attended only to observe our church for possible violations
of the copyright law..." |

"...DFC member
organizations represent both owners and users of copyrighted materials.
Over time, our constituents have benefitted -- as have other American
individuals, companies and non-profit entities -- from the maintenance
of a balanced copyright system in the United States. Such a system
is one that provides both strong protection for proprietors' rights
and clear recognition of consumers' interests in access to protected
materials..." |

" Copyright attaches to a work
when the work becomes "fixed" in a tangible medium, which
can be paper, magnetic tape or silicon. This fixation occurs when
an expression is "sufficiently permanent or stable topermit it
to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a period
of more than a transitory duration." |
