Nothing and Some More

On peut dire ce qu'on veut d'un article dans un journal, mais ca a toujours des avantages.

Yesterday, I was praying Doc's writing. I like reading BB too: The Perfect Woman about a book Feminist Fantasies with a foreword by Ann Coulter (yes, that Ann let's attack France Coulter), More than a little envy? about good writings on a blog that connect with the reader. And Inspiration is not Derivation on copyright, derived work, remixes and artist inspiration (see also the debate on the Knoppix mailing-list about Trademark, Copyright, Right of Exploitation and Right of Autorship)

Speaking of rights and control, Anil Dash writes people whose weblogs are primarily read through their RSS feeds are going to get upset that they've lost so much control over the appearance and branding of their sites. and then he wonders about CSS support in RSS. Weird, since one of the reasons I looove RSS is because I can format the text the way I want on my screen. If I wanted to actually use the design, I click on the link and read the actual weblog.
