March
14 - April 3, 2004 - Vol 3, No. 06. Up Front Sunday Morning NW:
Along with the change of season comes some changes of our own. The Proscenia Newsletter, recently moved to a bimonthly publication, will now be published on the first and last Sunday of each month beginning in April. This should provide for better continuity and more effective coverage of job opportunities and news. This means that this will be the last newsletter until April 4th. We've scheduled this transition to coincide with the spring break vacation taken by many of our readers. We will continue to publish a weekly reminder to list members about the current online edition. This week's feature section focuses on the use of photo or model releases required when photographing people, places, and objects for commercial purposes. We provided links to many articles and resources which will facilitate an understanding of the legal issues involved in securing the right to use certain images. We've also provided a list of links to panorama sites created with QuickTime VR. This list of virtual vacations was recently published in the Apple Quick Time newsletter. This Week's Items of Interest •BRAINTRUSTdv features a new online article of interest to readers. "Alejandro Adams' new essay "Preliminary Notes on Web-hosted Cinema"sets out to identify some tendencies of this newborn cinematic form and "elucidate the potential of a Web-hosted cinema to facilitate great art." But despite the essay's considerable mass, its scope is fairly narrow: sprawling havens of digital cinema such as ifilm and Atom Films are conspicuously absent, as are almost all non-commercial online DV festivals. What kind of "Web-hosted cinema" is left to discuss? At the outset, Adams identifies his central prejudice, and throughout the essay he adamantly appeals to the maverick sensibilities of visual artists." • Ad Age has published a free 60 page PDF booklet about advertising which answers questions such as; "Which marketer spends the most on advertising in the U.S.? How much does a TV ad cost? What are the largest advertising agencies? Which ones specialize in pharmaceutical products? What are the top 25 interactive advertising agencies? Which car models, restaurant chains or movie studios spent the most for advertising last year? Who are the industry's biggest media buyers? What was the year's most remembered TV commercial? What is the total spent on advertising in different media?" You can download this quick reference synopsis Fact Book 2004 Edition from the Internet. •India’s first web portal for rural audiences, TARAhaat.com offers internet-based education, information and communication services in several Indian languages. •The New York Times has published the Recommended Web Resources page. It lists many of the Internet resources consulted by Times reporters for information on politics, commerce, travel, sports and other topics. •You may find Turning the Tables or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Web Standards, by Drew McLellan, a compelling article on why the time is right to ditch tables and start using CSS-based layouts for web design. For
Fun:
•The web site,Winged Sandals,takes children age 6 to 12 through the world of Greek mythology with a number of Flash movies, games, and quizzes. It is a well designed educational website that is fun for young people and adults. It was produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. •The Dove Company has created an online exhibit by women photographers on the topic of beauty. Beyond Compare: Women Photographers on Beauty presents images from around the world including photographers such as Annie Leibovitz, Tierney Gearon, and Peggy Sirota. Some photographs include supplementary text information about the origins of the image and photographer comments.

If you take a photograph for commercial purposes and it contains a clearly recognizable face, a model or photo release must be secured. Such releases are required when an image is to used on a web site, in an advertisement, on a CD ROM or DVD, brochure, billboard, TV, or other similar product. The release protects you against legal claims. It also protects the subject from having his/ her image used in ways other than that specified on the release form. The standard model releases that you'll find as links in this article do not cover defamatory, libelous, or humiliating usage. Model releases must be signed by a person of age 18 or older. If you photograph a child a release signed by a parent or guardian is required. Model or photo releases are also required when photographing personal property or pets for commercial use. This may seem unusual but imagine your house being used as an example of bad construction practices in the 1960's without your knowledge or permission. Your property values might decline if the house is recognized. A model release is often thought of as a legal exchange. For example, in allowing you to use my image I might expect to receive a copy of the print. Often, offering a subject a dollar in exchange is enough as making prints can be time consuming and cost more than a quick cash transition on the site. When photographing in a foreign culture be sure you are familiar with the expectations and traditions regarding the photographing of people and places. The photographing of people in public without a release has been traditionally fair game if the images are used for editorial purposes such as a news photo. However, it is common courtesy to obtain permission and subject's name. This is especially so when that person might be featured as representing a gathering or event. When you using photographs from stock photo collections it is your responsibility to determine if a release has been secured. Most brokers of stock photographs have already secured photo or model releases. But if your use exceeds that outlined in the release you will need to secure additional permission. For example, you've purchased the image of a man that you would like to use in an article on the molesting of children. Does the photo release give you the option of using the purchased photograph in that context? When obtaining photos from third-parties such as stock photo libraries, ascertain that the image is accompanied by a model release. Most reputable stock photography sources have model releases for their images. Articles Chapter 14: Model Releases, by Dan Heller. This is one of the most comprehensive overviews of the legal and ethical reasons for using model release. Most anything you want to know you can find in this hyperlinked article. The Model Release: A Primer,by Michael Fulks. This article addresses four violations:"1) when we intrude upon another’s seclusion to make our photograph, 2) when our photograph makes private facts public, 3) when our photograph would cause the average, reasonable person to believe something about the subject that isn't true, and finally, 4) when we use our photograph of a person for commercial gain. Model Releases when and when not,by Rohn Engh. Here's a simple clarification of when you do and don’t need a model release. Forms: Model Release Forms. Provides forms in both English and Spanish and forms in both languages for parental consent. Model Release Form. Provides two examples with one for adults the second for minors.Note the use of unrestricted use thus making it possible to use the image in a variety of ways. Model Release Form. A standard form which is short, covers most situations and is written so that it can be understood. It provides the photographer with the maximum flexibility for the later use of the images. Model Release and Authorization to Photograph. Provides an example of a form in which compensation for use of the image has been received.Model Release Contract. This release the use of images for distribution on the Internet and the right of the photographer to alter through retouching the original image. Photograph Subject/Model Release.This Divers Magazine release notes that permission is granted to use the image with any printed material in connection written about the context in which the photo is used.

CALIFORNIA IMPOSES 'HAZARDOUS-WASTE FEE' In California, and "e-waste" law written last year by state Sen. Byron Sher (D, San Jose) has resulted in the creation of new state-operated computer-recycling programs that will be funded by making consumers pay up to $10 more for a laptop computer or LCD monitor purchased. The new law, which classifies those devices as hazardous waste, requires the eventual elimination of hazardous substances from electronic equipment, and also prohibits the practice of getting rid of old TVs and computers by sending them to countries that don't follow U.S. environmental standards. (San Jose Mercury News 5 Mar 2004) http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/8106312.htm MICROSOFT
AROUND YOUR NECK. Microsoft's new SenseCam device is meant
to be worn around your neck and will take up to 2,000 photos a day
automatically -- providing you with a visual diary of just what
you've been up to. So now you'll have a ready answer when the police
ask you: "Where exactly were you at 11:33 p.m. on the night
of the murder?" We hope your ready answer is also the right
answer, because Microsoft will not provide you with moral guidance
-- at least not yet. (AP/USA Today 5 Mar 2004) MEMO TO COPYRIGHT ENFORCERS: SLOW DOWN, TAKE A BREATH. A report from the policy group called Committee for Economic Development warns against efforts to support copyrights by preventing digital TV from being transmitted online. Called "Promoting Innovation and Economic Growth: The Special Problems of Digital Intellectual Property," the report concludes: "We are sympathetic to the problems confronting the content distribution industry. But these problems -- perfect copies of high-value digital works being transmitted instantly around the world at almost no cost -- require clear, concentrated thinking, rather than quick legislative or regulatory action." Not everyone is likely to agree with that recommendation. Jack Valenti, the president of the Motion Picture Association of America, has been highly critical of the notion that his industry is trying to place unfair burdens on consumers. "They say it will stifle innovation -- that's malarkey. If all of this digital property is free, who is going to invest 50 to 60 million dollars to make a movie?" The report from the Committee for Economic Development has called for a two-year moratorium on changes to copyright laws and regulations: "Our first concern should be to 'do no harm.'" (New York Times 1 Mar 2004) http://partners.nytimes.com/2004/03/01/technology/01rights.html YAHOO TO MIX ADS WITH SEARCH RESULTS. Adopting a practice called "paid inclusion," Yahoo is now going to let companies purchase the assurance that their Web sites will be included in the index from which Yahoo search results are selected. Paid inclusion is already used by MSN and Ask Jeeves, but not by Google, which separately displays and clearly displays information offered by advertisers. Yahoo vice president Tim Cardogan defends the Yahoo decision by saying, "What our users care about is the relevancy of results, not whether the source paid to participate." Google co-founder Larry Page disagrees: "Any time you accept money to influence the results, even if it is just for inclusion, it is probably a bad thing." (New York Times 2 Mar 2004) http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/02/business/02net.html SENATE BILL TARGETS SPYWARE. U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) are backing a bill dubbed the "SPYBLOCK" Act, which would make it illegal to use the Internet to install software on people's computers without their consent, and would require companies that offer software downloads to provide more information about what the programs do and what information they collect. The bill also would require ads generated by spyware or adware programs to be clearly labeled as such. "Computer users should have the security of knowing their privacy isn't being violated by software parasites that have secretly burrowed into their hard drive," says Wyden. Spyware has been around for years, but as its sneaky code has reached out to touch more users, the tide of public sentiment has now turned against it. "The major concern here is user control and transparency," says Ari Schwartz, associate director for the Center for Democracy and Technology. "We've found that many consumers do not understand what they're getting themselves into when they download software." Some skeptics say this latest effort is likely to be every bit as effective as the preceding CAN-SPAM Act, which many computer experts say has done little to curb the deluge of spam flooding consumers' in-boxes. "If you apply the mailbox test, the spam law hasn't had a significant effect. It would be nice to see the spam law working as intended before we say we want to follow the same route with spyware," says one attorney. (Washington Post 2 Mar 2004) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23307-2004Mar2.html FILTERING TECHNOLOGY COULD PUT AN END TO ILLEGAL FILE-SWAPPING Audible Magic has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, touting the capabilities of its technology, which it says can block the swapping of copyrighted music. It works by identifying the "psycho-acoustical" properties of a piece of music -- essentially the computer equivalent of listening to the song itself -- which enables it to recognize all versions of a song, despite variations in recording qualities or other subtle differences. The company has attracted the attention of the Recording Industry Association of America, which is backing Audible's technology as one possible solution to illegal downloading. In past months, peer-to-peer executives have repeatedly told Congress that is technologically impossible or infeasible to install such filtering systems on their networks, but with the advent of Audible, some are backpedaling on those statements, saying that even if it works, mandating the use of such technology would be a mistake. Requiring filters "would amount to the anointment of a specific technology as the winner in what the (recording) industry has made a file-sharing war," says Adam Eisgrau, executive director of P2P United, a file-swapping trade association. Eisgrau says his group has asked for a demonstration of the Audible Magic technology, and RIAA chief executive Mitch Bainwol says he's happy to oblige: "The peer-to-peer community has said they are serious about filtering. But they've said they can't filter. We're saying, well, the good news is that you can." (CNet News.com 3 Mar 2004) http://news.com.com/2100-1025-5168505.html MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS TEND TO IGNORE E-MAIL REQUESTS Ever wonder why those mass-mailed pleas for help usually fall on deaf ears? Greg Barron, the CLER Research Fellow at Harvard Business School, and his colleague Eldad Yechiam, a post-doctoral research fellow at Indiana University's psychology department, say that the more people listed as recipients of an e-mail help requests, the lower the response rate. This is mostly attributable to "diffusion of responsibility," where each recipient assumes that someone else will respond, says Barron: "The fundamental part of this dilemma is that the utility of not volunteering is higher than the utility of volunteering, assuming that someone else has volunteered. The key to making the dilemma (and the diffusion of responsibility) disappear lies in increasing either the cost of not volunteering (i.e., of shirking) or the personal gain from choosing to respond. The easiest way to do this is simply to designate responsibility. In this context it is interesting to note that responsibility literally means the ability to respond." Barron suggests individualizing each e-mail request (forget those undisclosed listservs) and bemoans the technological efficiency of most e-mail clients that make such individual requests cumbersome to produce. "That is not surprising since the need here, for the personal touch, is not technological but psychological."

EXECS BLAST INDUSTRY FOR IGNORING CUSTOMER RELATIONS. Top
executives from four software companies criticized their industry's
pricing models and apparent indifference toward nurturing customer
relationships. "I believe the traditional enterprise software
model is dying," Christopher Lochhead, chief marketing officer
of Mercury NEW WORM MASQUERADES AS MS UPDATE. The latest variation on the Sober worm -- Sober.D -- tries to trick recipients into opening it by disguising itself as a Microsoft Update message. "It arrives in an e-mail that pretends to be a patch to protect against a version of MyDoom," says a senior consultant at antivirus firm Sophos. "The e-mail appears to be a Microsoft patch so people will of course double-click on that attachment." Once a user clicks on the file, the worm scans the PC to see if it's already infected -- if not, it installs itself and uses its own SMTP engine to send copies of itself to e-mail addresses found on the victim's PC. Microsoft emphasizes that it does not send patches via e-mail and that users should ignore such messages. (ZDNet 8 Mar 2004) http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5171243.html ENCYCLOPEDIAS
HAVE BECOME DEAD WEIGHT.Asked
how the family encyclopedia is being used, one California high school
senior replied, "Sometimes my mom uses it as a coaster"
-- a typical from teenagers in the age of the Internet, as well
as a sign that the age of the multi-volume encyclopedia is receding
into history. Encyclopedia sets were once a status symbol of upper-class
educated households, and in the 1980s installment plans were created
to make $1,400 reference sets affordable for poorer families. But
encyclopedia companies Colliers and Funk & Wagnalls are now
long gone from the business, and the companies that survived the
shakeout (Britannica, World Book and Grolier) have business plans
now focused on the Web. Still, teachers and librarians worry that
young students can easily get overwhelmed by the vast amount of
information on the Internet. One librarian makes her students complete
book-based research before going to the Web, and says: "Half
of them want to jump on the computer and are not even sure what
they want to look up." Maybe so, but one California mother
points out: "The kids are so computer literate that it would
seem almost foreign to them to use a book." (AP/Washington
Post 9 Mar 2004) FRENCH GROUP THREATENS APPLE OVER IPOD ROYALTIES The French Society of Music Creators, Composers and Publishers (Sacem) is threatening to take Apple Computer to court over unpaid royalties owed on sales of Apple's iPod music player. According to French law, a small portion all sales of blank CDs, tapes, hard drives and other hardware that can be used to copy music must be paid to Sacem, which uses the funds to compensate musicians and other rights holders. The French levy came into force in July 2002, but Apple has refused to comply with the law's provisions. Sacem estimates that Apple sold 20,000 iPods in France last year, which could leave it liable for almost $500,000 in fees for 2003. (AP 10 Mar 2004) http://apnews.excite.com/article/20040310/D817J1I00.html NAPSTER, IBM TARGET COLLEGES WITH NEW DIGITAL MUSIC SYSTEM. Napster took the wraps off a new "Super Peer" application, which uses IBM's eServer BladeCenter systems to store the most popular music tracks in on-site servers rather than on the Internet. The "Super Peer" application is being marketed to colleges and universities as a way to reduce their computing infrastructure's vulnerability to overuse. Citing usage statistics at Penn State, for instance, of 100,000 downloads and 100,000 streams per day, Napster CTO Bill Pence says storing the most popular songs on-site could save the university an estimated $50,000 in bandwidth fees the first year: "When we embarked on our industry-leading university program, we set out to alleviate the technical and business strains that illegal file-sharing puts on universities and ISPs." (Reuters/Washington Post 10 Mar 2004) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45241-2004Mar10.html POWELL
WARNS OF PHONE DISRUPTIONS.
Federal Communications Commission chairman Michael K. Powell is
warning that there could be major disruptions in local phone service
as the result of a federal court decision that threw out the FCC's
phone competition rules. The major regional phone companies opposed
the rules, arguing that they unfairly required them to make their
networks available to competitors at deeply discounted rates. The
federal court panel in the District agreed, and ruled that the FCC
had failed to justify the requirement. (Washington Post 10 Mar 2004) HITACHI'S 400-GIGABYTE DRIVE FOR DIGITAL MEDIA. Hitachi has begun marketing a 400-gigabyte hard drive that can store up to 400 hours of standard TV programming, 45 hours of HDTV programming, or more than 6,500 hours of digital music. The company says it has designed the drive for audio/video products such as digital video recorders (DVRs), a market category which The Yankee Group research firm predicts will increase from 3 million today to 25 million by 2007.
