You might want to keep an eye on http://lexpubli.ca/ They're slowly building up a library of contract templates available for use under CC.

I'm no cryptographer, so maybe this is a silly question... Any reason why I shouldn't just reimplement it in the high level language of my choice and release it open source?

I don't think we really disagree all that much. I think the problem is really that content publishers have been dishonest about what they're selling. When I "buy" a DVD what have I actually bought? What does my mom think I've bought? Th

I'm not sure that the cognitive dissonance is in the ease of committing the tort, rather, I suspect that "intellectual property" doesn't really fit most (non-technical) people's concept of what ought to be tortable. For most non-technical

While I agree that being an asshole is more frequently harmful than helpful, I don't think the behaviour in question here is actually assholic in nature. Every community needs to have a way of enforcing community values or that community w

Lots of us use Perl these days. For example those of us that care about speed, stability, and sane backwards compatibility. WWW::Mechanize is still a great tool when appropriate. Catalyst and Moose are pretty awesome to work with as well

Lots of stuff that's built in Perl, doesn't really advertise itself as such. From my own experience in building products over the last 5 years, MailChannels Traffic Control ( http://mailchannels.com/product/ ) is built in Perl with some

The common case is not being bound by privacy law, but rather having a pr/marketing/sales challenge due to customer fears of the patriot act being used to nab data in the US. Your service allows me to give them a solid answer as to why tha

I have a number of clients who can't keep their data in the US due to privacy considerations. Sadly, I can't send them to you until you accept Canadian customers. Which is unfortunate, as it's typically Canadian organizations that have th

I'd say no it isn't in the aggregate harder. There are a few of forces at play that I think lead to this. First of all you can now buy pretty good hacking tools in a can (CANVAS, Core Impact) that come complete with non public exploits. I

I Absolutely agree with regards to web frameworks. But there's a time and a place for apache modules, and mod_perl is definitely the tool for that job.

mod_perl2 is really difficult to beat if you need to dig into the guts of Apache. DBIx::Class is a huge win if you need/want an ORM but you've been given a really weird pre-existing DB schema. POE has been around forever, and makes really

Please stop using Perl. Perl has been my startups' secret weapon, and I'd rather the competition didn't know about it. Perl let us deal with large volumes of data, at high throughput (there are several ISPs, Universities, and fortune 500 wh
