Re: [Foundation-l] Legal requirements for sexual content -- help, please!

You are missing the key point. The pivot upon which the issue turns is not whether or not a site is non-commercial or educational. The pivot is whether the site itself creates the content, or whether it merely hosts the content. Wikimedia Commons is more likely to be viewed as a host agent

Re: [Foundation-l] Legal requirements for sexual content -- help, please!

The list of advantages for helping uploaders (producers) to comply with USC 2257 record-keeping guidelines are numerous, and was the core part of my April 2010 sexual content proposal. To clarify, I did not then and still do not believe OTRS should be directly handing Personally Identifying Informa

Re: [Foundation-l] Spectrum of views (was Re: Sexual Imagery on Commons: where the discussion is happening)

I recall personally deleting and asking for oversight of an identifiable picture of a clearly underage person in a similar context, where the images were the basis of an internet meme. The picture was oversighted; the article on the meme itself was almost unanimously deleted from WP. The courts ma

Re: [Foundation-l] Legal requirements for sexual content -- help, please!

This seems self-contradictory. If we are exempt we're exempt. If we're exempt we have no need to keep records. We would of course do well to advise our users about their own responsibilities. If we do decide to require some sort of certification--and I do not oppose our doing so-- it raises the qu

Re: [Foundation-l] Google open sources VP8 -> WebM

No, the real question is: Is it _actually_ free? Read the OVA page about VP8 ( http://openvideoalliance.org/2010/05/google-frees-vp8-codec-for-html5-the-webm-project/?l=en). Specifically "What's the catch?". In short, MPEG-LA group claims that their patents cover all modern video codecs. So, h

I contacted Drew Sabol; professor, attorney, and owner of a 2257 record-keeping service called 2257services.net . His opinion is the Wikipedia is something like a social networking site that accepts user submission. The Department of Justice (DOJ) put out an update t

[Foundation-l] deployment of Vector to other languages -

I have a few questions about the deployment of Vector in Wikipedias in other languages. 1. When does the Foundation plan to perform the switch? 2. At least two major features which were not included in the Beta, were enabled in the English Wikipedia: the new search box with "Go" and "Search" butt
