Oh look, More Java zero-days. Why does Oracle keep trying to patch this thing? “Because Java appears to be riddled with vulnerabilities, Bitdefender’s Botezatu recommends Oracle identify the core components of the software and rewrite it from scratch.” I recommend Oracle throw it off a tall building, bury the remains deeper than the ET video game, apologize, and start over.

Hey, have you had your daily stupid yet? You haven’t? Here ya go: From Ars Technica: “Congress may take books, musical compositions and other works out of the public domain, where they can be freely used and adapted, and grant them copyright status again, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.” And who will own the copyright then? Thinking about how things have changed I went to the Foreign Language Press Survey, which I wrote up early this week, and found this interesting bit from an 1894 issue of Abendpost: “Various German authors of editorials, lectures, novels, poems, etc are complaining bitterly again, that their work is reprinted here in the United States without any permit and in spite of their German copyrights. This situation is to be regretted from the legal standpoint, but cannot be remedied at present, as German literature, originally written in Germany, is protected in America only, if printed and subsequently registered for copyright in this country. On the other hand, most of those German authors and scientists would be completely unknown in this country without the unauthorized reprint of their work. The latter has proved to be a probably unintentional propaganda, which later has been used with skill and advantage by German publishers in Germany for the benefit of the wronged authors.”
