Want More Competition in Tech? Get Rid of Outdated Computer, Copyright and Contract Rules There’s a lot of legitimate concern these days about Internet giants and the lack of competition in the technology sector. It’s still easy and cheap to put up a website, build an app, or organize a group of people online, but a few large corporations have outsized power over the key resources needed to do those things. That, in turn, gives those companies extraordinary power over speech, privacy, and innovation. Indeed, just this week we’re learning that Facebook made exclusive data-sharing deals with a few companies, undermining both user privacy and competition in one fell swoop. Naturally enough, many have looked to antitrust law to provide the right tools to address this problem—and called for legal reform when they discovered that current antitrust approach may not offer those tools. That’s useful and important work.  But antitrust isn’t the only area of law that has a role to play...

The hype around the Digital Transformation can be overwhelming, causing many well-intentioned operations to jump into something before they really have evaluated what it is they want to achieve.  The result?  Wasted resources, wasted time, and wasted opportunities. To be fair, the fault may not lie in the platform that was chosen, but rather in the thinking about what was required in the digital transformation. Thinking that may only require answers to three simple questions, “How are we going to achieve the 3E’s ”: Effective : is the system doing the right thing – contributing to the higher-level goals? Efficacy :  is the system providing the desired result? Efficient: is the system using the minimum of resources? So how should we think about attacking the digital transformation then? Part of the answer lies in the fact that operations professionals need to contribute to the success of a digital transformation by using the tools they have always used to ideate,...

FIFA Is Not Okay With Dancing In Front of the TV It’s World Cup time. That means goals. And goals means goal celebrations. Here’s a compilation of U.S. soccer fans celebrating a last-second goal in the 2010 World Cup. Ah, memories . Anyway, FIFA apparently doesn’t like it when fans celebrate near their television sets. It sent a takedown notice aimed at a five-second video of a young boy celebrating in his living room. Following a goal in the England-Tunisia match, Kathryn Conn posted a five-second video of her seven-year-old son celebrating. Conn explained that her son “is a massive Spurs fan and he absolutely worships Harry Kane so he started dancing around in the living room.” Unfortunately, the dancing occurred in front of a television still playing the game. And if there’s one thing FIFA is serious about, it’s their copyright. Conn says she woke up the next morning to find the video deleted from Twitter and a notice that it was due to a DMCA takedown notice from FIFA ,...
