Chuck Mauk

Chuck was sprawled on the pavement and bleeding near his bicycle in a parking lot a few blocks from home. He had gone to a nearby store for candy and gum, an almost daily ritual.

Sad story about someone I actually knew fairly well. He lived one street over and I spent the night at his house once about a year before this happened. He introduced the song “Bad to the Bone” to me – I had never heard it at that time. He was the super cool kid everybody liked. A tragic event that happened when we were both in the 7th grade. I hope it will one day be solved but I fear it won’t.

Analog Hole

“The analog hole is a fundamental and inevitable vulnerability in copy prevention schemes for noninteractive works in digital formats which can be exploited to duplicate copy-protected works that are ultimately reproduced using analog means. Once digital information is converted to a human-perceptible (analog) form – as it must be, given the analog nature of our human senses – it is a relatively simple matter to digitally recapture that analog reproduction in an unrestricted form, thereby circumventing the restrictions placed on copyrighted digitally-distributed work.”
