An Introduction of Chinese Blawgs, Beta

Blawgging For China Blawg Review Vol. 1 Ver Beta 0.1
 
Title: An Introduction of Chinese Blawgs
Ver.: Beta 0.1

Because of the difficulty of reading Chinese characters (even knowing Chinese, one may be crazy when he find that Chinese itself includes three kinds of totally different computer character formats, that’s why Taiwan might split from China in cyber era, I think), a small part of China Blawg map has been unveiled to English surfers. Actually, most of disclosed China blawgs are with some "foreign link", that is, the blawgers may be foreign researchers and/or lawyers interested in China’s law, or its market, and these blawgs are mostly in pure English.
 
However, Chinese lawyers have established a large (not very heavy yet) Chinese blawg atlas in Chinese character, though the first legal Chinese blawg service provider appeared just around Jan 2005. Now there are thousands of blawgs in China, and the blawgers covered nearly all legal professions.
 
Most Chinese blawgs are set on blawg service providers’ servers, and rare ones have their own independent domain name. Now there are 7 blawg service providers. They are FYFZ.cn (more than 8000 registrants), Cnlawblog.com (more than 8000), Lawoy.com (400), Blog.highcourt.org (less than 3000 but only 100 active), Lawblog.cn (700), chinaeclaw.com (less than 400)and Lawspirit.org (more than 1000). The last one declares that it provides a “bilingual” blawg system, but it seems this ad does not allure potential blawgers. Interestingly, the FYFZ.cn, which provides the poorest application, is the most popular one, i.e. there are more than 500 active individual blawgs set on this site and the dozens of new ones are created each day.
 
The most significant characteristic of FYFZ.cn is that it is more "academic" or even "bookishness" than the others. Although the amount of lawyers’ (I mean barristers and solicitors here) blawgs is the highest, scholars dominate the site undoubtedly. A few eminent professors and more legal researchers lawg there activates, ideas, book chapters and even research proposals on there own blawgs. Among them, Dr. XU Xin becomes the top one with his blawg "Poetical Justice", which get more than 347 thousands hits since Jan 2005. Other famous scholars include Prof. XIE Hui, Prof. LIN Lai-Fan, Prof. HE Wei-fang, Prof. WEI Dun-You, Prof. ZHANG Chu, Prof. ZHANG Jian-Sheng, Prof. ZHANG Hai-Bing, Prof. FAN Jin-Xue, Prof. GU Ming-Kang, etc. WANG Yi, whose blog has (at least legendarily) been censored frequently, also registered a blawg in FYFZ.cn.
 
A registrant is not equal to a blawger of cause. Most registrant only post few logs, and a great amount of those logs can not be regarded as "lawgs"—-entertainments and hobbies are always easier than legal analysis. I will introduce some individual blawgs later.

没文化·屁股决定脑袋——有关“学者接受采访收费”的无主题瞎扯

李老师是我最喜欢的学者之一……本来，学者接受采访，应该是特指……将调查到的事实请学者予以评论……现实总是比数学模型要复杂得多……“屁股决定脑袋”是我2005年学到的一个重要词汇……理想情况下的“学者接受采访收费”当然和“有偿新闻”不沾边，当然应该……但权利总是伴随着义务，建议学者在收费前，先观察一下自己的屁股……

但，他是个律师！

 今天看CBS的“六十分钟杂志”，说美国科学家们有关温室效应的研究报告在提交国会前，会受到白宫官员的审查和修改，以使报告中所说明的温室效应现象显得不那么严重。甚至在平常的学术发言中，也要避免用一些词汇，比如“danger”。一位科学家说起自己提交的报告被修改的遭遇时，再三地说：But, he is a lawyer, a politician. He is a lawyer!

呵呵，两点废话:一是censorship看来的确比较危险，美国人的脑子都是直的，所以就更不爽了；二是当lawyer真得随时小心自己的言行，不然不但没权力的时候是滚刀肉，就是有权力的时候也会让人觉得属于有奶便是娘的那种。

干脆做个女权主义者吧

 

　　三年前，说到“男性女权主义者”，我曾经十分地谨慎。因为当时我认为无论理论是多么地天花乱坠，但男性与女性在动物世界中的竞争关系是天然存在的。后来我明白了，当时的我仅仅属于读懂了种种女权理论的男性，充其量也就只是一名研究（学习）女权主义的男性。但读懂并不等于笃信，即使是笃信也还属于不可知论的范畴，说得不好听点就是迷信。而要超越迷信，则一定要想通，或曰开悟——这就是释迦牟尼与和尚的区别——不过如果到了笃信这个层次，就已经可以说自己是“某某主义者”了。

　　但，现在的我，还真觉得自己不但不属于迷信性质的女权主义者，而且在关于女权的问题上，有可能已经参透了“指向月亮的手”和“月亮”之间的关系。为此，我还专门发明了一个词汇：“性别无碍”，用以区别“性别平等”的女权主义口号。

　　简单地说，“性别平等”是将性别（当然这里指社会性别）作为分配正义的一个重要尺度——你不能因为自己喜欢吃辣椒就觉得有辣椒才是好吃的东西，我也不能因为自己喜欢吃甜食就认为没加糖就不是食品；你喜欢吃辣椒可以，但也必须让我有机会吃到白糖。

　　而所谓“性别无碍”则不一样，它是指性别根本不被作为一个考虑的因素，跟所谓的公平正义根本没关系，——辣椒和白糖都是调料，任何人都可以吃也可以不吃；我可以今天吃白糖明天吃辣椒，不吃白不吃；你也可以完全不吃这两种东西只吃醋，吃了也白吃。

互联网上的合理使用——基础篇，兼评馒头案

首先是链接：《Fair Use on the Internet》
http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/10923.pdf
A Report for US Congress, by Christopher Alan Jennings, Legislative Attorney, American Law Division.

说明：
1、以下会节录上述文章中的一些部分，并且加一些简单的评论，希望what I have done can find the fair use defence wherever in US or in China.所有加了引号而没有跟“[……]”的地方都出自上面的文章，跟了“[……]”的地方，也是转引自上面的文章。“{……}”的地方则是Donnie自己的注释——注释就是注释，其中有一些与主题无太大关系的瞎扯，你可以跳过。
2、本笔记为中英混血，有中文也有英文，主要原因是英文水平低下，次要原因是这是给中国人看的，再次要的原因是时间不允许。同样因为时间不允许，所以这里只是第一部分，请喜欢的观众不断跟踪本站。
3、本文适用本站创作共用条款，但请连同格式一并复制（包括这个说明以及各种字体颜色）。

I. 基础{不仅是知识基础，而且是讨论互联网上的合理使用的制度基础}：Four statutory factors to weigh whether a use of copyrighted work is "fair use".

Copyright owners will never enjoy the absolutly exlusive rights over their work since the core objective of copyright law is to "promote the progress of science and useful arts". According to the US statutes and case law, the defense of "fair use", as a privilege but not a right, can be found under the following factors:

Firstly, the purpose and character of the work.

法律博客更要保护知识产权——顺便推广一下“链客”概念

　　鉴于法律博客网站中存在大量转载的现象，特写此文，同时也希望我的“链客”概念能为更多人所认可。请管理员理解我的善意和小小私心，将本文放在显著位置供大家批评讨论。

　　博客是个人的日志，但博客是公开的日志（除非程序中有不公开日志的选择并被选取）。所以我个人认为，博客也应尊重知识产权——尤其是法律博客。从我国的实定法看，著作权法规定了“信息网络传播权”。其中已经明确说明了在信息网络上传播作品的权利归属于作者。尽管我本人对现存的、包括上述规范在内的版权体系的合理性存在质疑，但我始终觉得，必要的尊重版权的行动，应从我们自己做起。
