FCC Slams Comcast: Net Neutrality wins?
~Ryu-tso
reports, July 12
reports, July 12FINALLY! For those that haven't been following the NN movement, Net Neutrality is the belief that the internet should be free to all consumers and not have your internet be monitored by your ISP.
Unfortunately for Comcast customers they discovered last summer that Comcast was limiting their usage of P2P programs such as Limewire and BitTorrent and then lying about it, saying "It was probably a technical glitch". But after extensive tests run by Carnegie Melon in conjunction with students from MIT, they found that Comcast was forging net connections which ended abruptly and stopped your download.
Comcast continued to deny it until Free Press dropped a lawsuit in their laps. The FCC agrees and will vote on the movement to fine Comcast for violating the Net Neutrality law.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! The websites you know and love could soon become unavailable as quickly as 2010...unless you're willing to pay.
Comcast, Verizon and AT&T are literally spending tens of millions of dollars to lobby Congress to drop the internet in their laps and let them decide how to use it. That means that you would have to actually PAY to get to high traffic sites that those companies do not own. Which means DeviantArt, MySpace, Facebook, Gaia and YouTube would be come unavailable for users who do not want to pay.
Speak up, Speak out, Rally your representatives and save the internet.

Blatant Art Theft
~KatWylder
reports, April 11, 2007
reports, April 11, 2007Art theft is a common enough event on the internet, but who knew any one could plagiarise work so blatantly? Or make money off of it, for that matter.
Todd Goldman, the "creator" of the David & Goliath design series was recently featured in a Los Angeles fine art gallery. It may seem sad enough that stick figures with cutesy slogans are now considered "fine art" but highly so many skilled artists are ignored. Unfortunately, it's far worse than that. Many of Goldman's designs aren't just "borrowed" from others, they're direct copies. The victims list includes the webcomic "Purple Pussy", Roman Dirge's Lenore, the Neko computer program, and even Disney's SchoolHouse Rock cartoon.
Think that's bad? Just wait until you see how much he makes from his theft. Wikipedia reports that Goldman's site also sends an e-mail which libels the creator of "Purple Pussy" and directs minors to pornographic content without warning.
The art magazine Juxtapoz has the full story.

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |

Devious Comments
And we should. Plagiarism is a SERIOUS concern for anyone who makes art. What people like Goliath do makes a mockery of the very IDEA of creation, regardless of how one feels about the original work.
If you're interested in SsC's take on this, you can see it here.

The whole thing is sort of appalling and I think that the larger art community should do something.
As far as taking action in regards to theft, you should visit You Thought We Wouldn't Notice, a website dedicated to catching corporate art theft.
