This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
"The entertainment industry had the upper hand in the battle last year, with a carefully orchestrated lobbying campaign and bills introduced by powerful lawmakers. Hollywood-backed legislation filed by Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., and Rep. Howard L. Berman, D-Los Angeles, would embed copy protection into PCs and an array of consumer devices."
(Then again, I've never really found myself with Hollings, either.)
"But the legislation had consequences that Walt Disney and other backers hadn't bargained for. It served as a rallying cry for consumer groups and tech companies to fight for consumers rights to make copies of CDs, DVDs and other digital works for personal use, as they do with TV shows and audio tapes."
Sometimes you gotta love those unintended consequences. (Here's a related story.)
