This question, posed on the video site [QuickSilverScreen][1], caught my eye a few weeks ago and I've been following the story of QuickSilverScreen ever since. It turns out the answer is mainly yes, it is illegal in the United States to knowingly link to copyright infringing materials. There's an excellent and very thorough rundown of all the relevant legal precedents on [Webtvwire][2] that I encourage you to read. But first some background; QuickSilverScreen is a link sharing site almost solely dedicated to helping its visitors find copyright infringing material. Because QuickSilverScreen itself doesn't *host* any of the video clips you might think that the site is perfectly legal. But you would be wrong. In fact, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), even linking to copyright infringing material is illegal. The DMCA does provide certain "safe harbor" exemptions however, but QuickSilverScreen does not qualify for them. In order to obtain so-called "safe harbor" an online service provider must, according to the [docs on Wikipedia][3]: >* not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing (512(c)(1)(A)(1)). * not be aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent (512(c)(1)(A)(2)). * upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, must act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. (512(c)(1)(A)(2) and 512(c)(1)(C)) * not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity (512(c)(1)(B)). There are several more requirements but the above is sufficient to illustrate why QuickSilverScreen didn't stand a chance in court. The site is fully aware that the content it links to is infringing and that, at least in the U.S., puts them in violation of the law. What's unclear legally is how far this trail of linking goes; for instance, I just linked to QuickSilverScreen, does that make me liable? If you link to this article which links to QuickSilverScreen does that make you liable? And where does that leave blogs and other personal sites that might occasionally link to a copyright infringing video? According to Dr. Stephan Ott, a [lawyer interviewed on Webtvwire][4], "if you know that a video is pirated and you link to it, it is very likely that courts will see the link as unlawful." So what happened to QuickSilverScreen? At first the site rather cleverly converted its links to text boxes, but in the end QuickSilverScreen has done what all questionably legal sites seem to do -- moved offshore beyond the reaches of the DMCA and Fox lawyers.

[Clicky][4] is a new service that offers hosted stats tracking with a nice web interface to help you figure out what it all means. It's tough to enter a market that Google is already in, but for those of you who love Analytics, Clicky still might have a few features even Analytics doesn't offer. For one thing, though it's nowhere near live, Clicky updates far more frequently than Analytics. And Clicky is promises a new service coming soon that is live; Clicky claims it will be much like Digg Spy, but personalized for your site. Clicky offers all the standard features of site tracking services such as a list of IP addresses, type of browser, user operating system, unique visitors, total page hits and more. Clicky offers the ability to track users individually and see how they got to your site, what pages they viewed and what content appealed to which users. You can also track custom data, for instance, if your site has user accounts, you can see who logged in and what pages they clicked. The Clicky dashboard is easy to read and fully customizable, it even allows you to disregard IP address so your own click won't show up in your site data. Clicky may not meet the needs of large businesses, but small site owners looking to track traffic may find it does the job well.

There's no need to update Google Earth, the new layers are automatically visible under the Layers menu. That said, if you haven't already, [check out the beta 4 version][4] of Google Earth. To access the new content when you're using Google Earth just look for the Wikipedia globe icon or Panoramio "star" icon and click them to see the associated content. For Wikipedia entries you'll get the summary and a link to open the full entry in your default web browser. The Panoramio entries show the photograph and offer links to add comments or upload your own photos via the Panoramio site. Clicking on a Panoramio photo in Google Earth will take you to that page on Panoramio which features integrated Google Maps that can give you directions to that location. In addition to the Wikipedia and Panorama data, Google Earth now includes information from the [Google Earth community][3]. Represented in Google Earth by a yellow "i" icon, the content comes from user posts and uploaded photographs. I've always been a huge fan of Google Earth and with the new content it just keeps getting better.

The service will be called Openserving and will officially be available beginning sometime next week, but you can take a tour today. Openserving will run on an easy-to-use version of the MediaWiki software and seems aimed to compete with other packaged services like Movable Type's TypePad. Wales announcement comes as part of the ongoing Le Blogs conference in Paris France. The new hosting promises, according to the announcement, "free software, free bandwidth, free storage, free computing power, free content over the internet," and will give 100 percent of ad revenue generated by the site to the "bloggers and website owners who partner with Wikia." If you're thinking what's the catch, well there doesn't seem to be one. The only requirement is that the sites link back to Wikia.com which generates its revenue from advertising. To address the widespread incredulity and curiosity about Wikia's business plan, Wells said in a press release, "we don't have all the business model answers, but we are confident -- as we always have been -- that the wisdom of our community will prevail." Wikia may not be concerned with revenue at the moment since they recently took four million in funding from private sources and last week Wikia partnered with Amazon for an undisclosed sum. Interestingly, Amazon has its own low-cost, data storage and website-hosting services, but Wales says that's not part of Wikia's deal with Amazon at the moment. "Potentially," [he tells Reuters][2], "but this is really completely separate" While back links to Wikia.com may get Wikia some additional traffic and therefore generate more revenue, even Google, king of free internet services, takes its cut of advertising revenue. By offering everything for free and turning down the established web 2.0 revenue stream of advertising, Wikia has set sail in uncharted waters; we'll be keeping an eye on the service to see how it plays out.
