is running a good story by Guy Dixon: How copyright could be killing culture. It’s focused on the documentary film “Eyes on the Prize”, which featured a great deal of archival footage that they only purchased 5-year rights to include. For those who follow “copyfight” related stories there’s likely nothing new in the article, but for people with more of a passing interest, the article is a good summary of the issues at play, and at stake.

Sy Hersh is at it again:
The Coming Wars: What the Pentagon can now do in secret. “The President has signed a series of findings and executive orders authorizing secret commando groups and other Special Forces units to conduct covert operations against suspected terrorist targets in as many as ten nations in the Middle East and South Asia.”
Lebkowsky has posted
a good summary post related to the recent tempest that former Dean worker Zephyr Teachout found herself in following remarks that the Dean campaign paid off prominent bloggers for their support: A “breeze from the west” inspires a tornado or two. It seems that it’s not nearly as cut and dried as some have implied. Teachout’s blog is called Zonkette and refutes some of the claims people have made following her comments as well. It’s good reading.
My personal reaction to all of this is pretty muted. I think most mainstream pundits (as opposed to reporters) lost their credibility years ago, and that it’s going to take some time and energy and experimentation to hit the notes correctly in the original online publishing world.

a Technorati Tags Bookmarklet courtesy of Matt at oddiophile. Of course if you’re using many of the weblog systems available it will be superfluous – Technorati also uses post categories via your RSS/Atom feed. But if you don’t use that stuff, or if you want a simple way to give a post multiple tags, then the bookmarklet will be invaluable.
