    Protesters failed to stop the Olympic Torch relay this afternoon, because there was none - at least not the one that drew thousands of people into the streets of San Francisco. Fear of violence drove officials to change the route, bypassing both protesters and spectators who wanted to celebrate the Olympic Games.

    To become host of this summer's Olympic Games, China promised to clean up the air and grant more political freedom. But Beijing is still smoggy; dissidents are being rounded up; and China's being criticized for not doing more on Darfur. Also, the US pulls nonessential embassy personnel out of Serbia. On Reporter's Notebook, were Obama and Clinton debating or making peace.div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?a=5kR8OoE"img src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?i=5kR8OoE" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?a=T032CRE"img src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?i=T032CRE" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?a=ddaptme"img src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?i=ddaptme" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?a=RXx84ke"img src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?i=RXx84ke" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?a=fkdGDae"img src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~f/kcrw/tp?i=fkdGDae" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feeds.kcrw.com/~r/kcrw/tp/~4/239622619" height="1" width="1"/

  13. Olympic Torch Touches Down in San Francisco Today
    14. 9 Apr 2008 at 9:55am
    Listen
    You only had to look at the a href="http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2008/04/08/pageone/scan/index.html"cover of yesterday's emNew York Times/em/a to see freedom of expression taken to new heights on the eve of the arrival of the Olympic torch in North America. Today, all eyes are on San Francisco, where the torch has touched down for what is expected to be a six-mile relay before it continues on to Buenos Aires.br / br / As late as April 2, the details of the torch relay route, as well as the governmentrsquo;s plans for protestors, were under wraps. The ACLU of Northern California began pressuring the City to release information after a a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/12/BAKGVI7DO.DTLhw=oly mpic+torchsn=071sc=108"March 12 emSan Francisco Chronicle/em article/a indicated that the city planned to restrict protestors to ldquo;free speech zonesrdquo; and city officials mentioned in media interviews that protestors would be subject to searches. br / br / Michael Risher, an attorney with the ACLU of Northern California, filed the Sunshine Ordinance requests that helped convince the City to disclose the route. Risher has also been communicating with the San Francisco Police Department to urge that law enforcement not overreact to public safety concerns by unduly restricting free speech. Risher talks a href="http://www.aclu.org/multimedia/olympics_michael_risher.mp3"in a podcast/a about the ACLU's efforts to ensure that everyone #8212; all of the protestors, torchbearers and spectators #8212; is able to exercise their First Amendment rights during todayrsquo;s procession. br / br / Learn more about the ACLU of Northern California's advocacy on behalf of free speech during the Olympic torch relay: a href="http://www.aclunc.org/olympictorch"http://www.aclunc.org/olympictorch/a.br /br /


  14. Random thoughts on the Beijing Olympic games
    15. 9 Apr 2008 at 11:27pm
    Listen
    pa href="http://www.thelinguist.com/media/2008/03/Olympics.mp3"Here is the podcast/a/p pI really enjoyed my study of Chinese, about 40 years ago. I especially enjoyed various Chinese essays and novels from the 1920's and 1930's. Against the backdrop of war lords, colonial arrogance and oppression and eventually Japanese invasions, Chinese writers explored their own feelings and described the struggles of individual Chinese people, including themselves, looking for a new way in a confused and changing world. I enjoyed it and it was a big part of the attraction of studying the language. /p pI also read the Communist propaganda, the writings of Mao, the constant propaganda aboutnbsp; struggle, always struggle, against the enemies, always enemies, especially class enemies, especially capitalists. Today it is the former Communist party higher ups who are the biggest capitalists. I needed to read this stuff to learn the terminology. But it was not real. It was not the real feelings of people. It was all about shouting slogans from the rooftops, shouting louder than the next person. It was empty and hard, compared to the writings of the 1920's and 1930's,nbsp; which were about people./p pSo, here we are in the lead up to the Olympic Games of 2008. Who is kidding whom? What is sacred about the Olympics? Beijing wanted them for political reasons. Vancouver wanted the Winter Olympics in 2010 for commercial reasons. The athletes are spoiled elite people, many of whom earn large salaries from companies who want you to buy their products. Nothing wrong with that, but lets not make it out to be sacred. I see no ideals, no people helping people. Just pride and nationalism./p pNow we have the public relations nightmare for China of the spectacle of bringing the Olympic torch to Beijing. China wanted the Olympics for their political reasons, to show off. The Tibetans are using the Olympics for their political purposes. Professional demonstrators are using them for their political purposes. Who can be surprised?/p pThe statements by Chinese leaders, diplomats and commentators on various blogs around the world,are almost calculated to make non-Chinese people less sympathetic to them. The demonstrations are quot;disgusting quot;said the Chinese Ambassador to Canada. The demonstrations will quot;earn the hatred of 1.3 billion peoplequot;, threaten the legion of Chinese people commenting on foreign language blogs. quot;The torch parades will continue no matter whatquot; say the Chinese Olympic officials. The Chinese even sent anbsp; squad of special trained police goons to go to foreign countries and guard the torch and intimidatenbsp; bothnbsp; athletes carrying the torch and demonstrators. Another public relations disaster./p pIn all of this, what strikes me is the power of the individual. Everything in life comes down to what you do, or can do, as an individual. It is not about numbers. /p pThere is not one spokesman, not one representative of China, who has the charm, wit, and persuasive power of the Dalai Lama. At this stage of the PR battle it is Dalai Lama - 1 and 1.3 billion Chinese and all their leaders - 0. That does not mean freedom for Tibet. Nor am I in a position to judge China in Tibet. It just means that when the Dalai Lama speaks, many people want to listen. When the Chinese government and the oh-so indignant Chinese around the world speak with one voice, or claim to speak with one voice, few are sympathetic./p pTo some extent that comes with being powerful. It is the US/George Bush syndrome. But it is more than that. The Chinese arrogance, uniformity of views, and lack of common sense, make them appear machine like and almost inhuman, a far cry from the 1920's and 1930's essayists and novelists who tantalized me with Chinese language, culture and humanity. Today it is all pride, vanity and power./p pThe Dalai Lama is an outstanding spokesman. The Chinese should hire him. Maybe they should offer him the position of President of China./p

    pimg alt="blackpowersalute4.jpg" src="http://shanghaiist.com/attachments/shang_maggie/blackpowersalute4.jpg" width="179" height="249" class="imgright"/The runup to the Beijing Olympics has had its share of political drama—torch relay protests, calls for a boycott and tussles over which world leaders will attend the opening ceremonies. All the while, Beijing has protested that politics has no place in sports. If you still harbor any illusions that the Olympic games are a politics-free zone, this recent program from Public Radio International should set you straight. In a href="http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/national/local-national-726 060.mp3""Power, Politics and the Olympics," /aDeborah Amos runs through the political history of the modern Olympics, in light of issues surrounding the upcoming 2008 games. The piece begins with the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany and looks closely at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul and the International Olympic Committee's decision to award the 2014 Olympics to Sochi, Russia. It includes sound bites from Walter Cronkite, Muhammad Ali, Jimmy Carter and Vladimir Putin./p pemFor more sports news, check out a href="http://chinasportstoday.com/en/blog/item/158/politics_and_the_olympics"China Sports Today/a./em/pbr style="clear: both;"/ a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v2:ab494f697b617175d8e04d69c16 92819:ZDtXGNrjQl5O8p2AfMeUdzU1mR7keunvClooh06nH1%2Bk8m1xBUpI8d%2FwpGfMTCwj1INLPLBauJv uuiPytLAZbOSEZVJNVrqh4gWYMFu5ues%3D'img border='0' title='Add to digg' alt='Add to digg' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/digg.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v2:b50dab3464b60b7be59e4a959b3 80975:ajTLqCRlAdv5K59kDQ%2BfSgWZlwrNTLJgB75zQIubMKJ49aZSTwDDi544NA0CcqBN245SQyj5qmDDR MGKLZ6esPHone1DmmnT23NBgUSWLuc%3D'img border='0' title='Email this Article' alt='Email this Article' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/emailthisHF.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v2:62adc45073797a0e3268eae4d5c b59af:XHTkgEd6hD%2FC%2FrFQ5TPDa11Gp4LaEMH7OYc7zEUyVfLQeJ6GWSWZhKVXMgq1gXR0TIEtABq0GTs qSXALtLj0shOEJBq5M5bb%2F9FT%2F5wDRVk%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Facebook' alt='Add to Facebook' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/facebook.gif'//a a style='font-size: 10px; color: maroon;' href='http://www.pheedo.com/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v2:a9c57e480aca7123c6ebe857bb7 6a6ab:2cOlS8O1Eqlqa1rzFDoNV0pUUXEOn6U2pt9JQ1CM%2BXQJWyjvhUxB0G6uIa%2Fl3V%2Fy%2FhMEcYq oerQ7tjHSB0cf77oOhctur8gQOAGMYh8zNlM%3D'img border='0' title='Add to Google' alt='Add to Google' src='http://www.pheedo.com/images/mm/google.png'//a br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=camp;i=440f3fa0d11f2522bf7bc773596491a7"im g src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/ht.php?t=vamp;i=440f3fa0d11f2522bf7bc773596491a7" border="0" //a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=440f3fa0d11f2522bf7bc773596491a7" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/

I've been sounding off about it on my radio program, and we've interviewed folks on both sides of the issue. I've even designed political protest T-shirts in response, but you'll never see them if the copyright goons at CafePress have their way. (More on that later.)/p pThe above audio streams highlight a couple of my rants and bring you interviews with Elizabeth Hankins, who wrote a novel about the situation in the Sudan called, quot;a href="http://www.thecalling-novel.com/Default.aspx"The Calling./aquot; She feels that we should use the 2008 games to hold Beijing's feet to the fire for their a href="http://www.savedarfur.org/pages/china_and_sudan"culpability in the ongoing genocide in Darfur/a. I agree./p pOn the other side of the table is Jim Trippon, who thinks that we ought to take it easy on the Chinese and let them save face while applying diplomatic pressure behind the scenes. His contention is that there is a lot of money to be made from the booming Chinese economy, that China is a young country experiencing growing pains, and after all, we did the same thing to the Indians when we were a young nation, right? /p pI think I just threw up in my mouth a little. /p pI would hope that we're a little more enlightened in the 21st century than we were in the 18th and 19th centuries. I certainly hope that he isn't seriously trying to justify political oppression, suppression of human rights, andnbsp; murder as acceptable because there's money to be made. (Yet, sadly I know he is.) If your credo is quot;Greed Is Good,quot; You might want to a href="http://www.trippon.com/"check out his website/a. I was diplomatic to Jim on-air and even invited him back to discuss China's economy in more general terms. The post-interview analysis was more pointed, I assure you./p pThat brings us to CafePress... The lesson here is, that if you want to get your shirts produced, NEVER tag them with what they actually are. I was foolish enought to use tags like, quot;2008 Olympics,quot; and quot;Beijing Olympic Protest.quot; The censor bots caught those right away and flagged the images as a violation. I asked CafePress to review them, confident that any reasonable person would see them as obvious parody and political commentary. They didn't and sent me a real knee-slapper as a reply. You can read the exchange and see the verboten designs in the post continuation./p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_front_censored.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_front_censored" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_front_censored" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ front_censored.jpg" //a /p pI was sure that any idiot who saw these designs would recognize them as political commentary on the Beijing Olympics and Parody of the Olympic logos. You don't have to be a legal scholar to see that the use of the Olympic rings and the Beijing logo are integral to the commentary (that's what emmakes/em them parody!)and exactly the kind of speech that the Fair Use provisions were designed to protect. /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/bloody_olym pic_rings.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Bloody_olympic_rings" title="Bloody_olympic_rings" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/bloody_olympic_rings. jpg" //a /p pHere we've got the Olympic Rings machine-gunned against a stone wall. Blood runs down the wall from the bullet holes. In the lower left-hand corner is the mantra a href="http://dharma-haven.org/tibetan/meaning-of-om-mani-padme-hung.htm"emOm Mani Padme Hum/em/a, the Tibetan prayer to the Buddha of Compassion. On the back was to be a similar quot;Free Tibet,quot; design. /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/72_720_x_72 0_free_tibet_stone_cente.jpg"img width="500" height="500" border="0" alt="72_720_x_720_free_tibet_stone_cente" title="72_720_x_720_free_tibet_stone_cente" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/72_720_x_720_free_tib et_stone_cente.jpg" //a /p pIt's a powerful, unambiguous, image if you ask me. I designed T-shirts around it, mugs, caps, posters, decorative tiles, stickers, tile boxes, even baby jumpers and dog sweaters. /p pI designed a version with the bloody rings by themselves against a white (or black) shirt, so the design would stand out even more./p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_front.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_front" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_front" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ front.jpg" //a /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_back.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_back" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_back" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ back.jpg" //a /p pAnother design featured the Olympic Rings depicted as interlocking nooses. The back would have sported a Chinese flag with the caption, quot;Save Darfur.quot; /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_noose_front.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_noose_front" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_noose_front" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ noose_front.jpg" //a /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_save_darfur_ba.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_save_darfur_ba" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_save_darfur_ba" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ save_darfur_ba.jpg" //a /p pMy favorite design was a poke at the logo of the Beijing Games themselves. The official logo, no doubt based on the Chinese pictogram for quot;Flee In Terror,quot; is intended to portray a runner flinging his arms up in victory as he crosses the finish line. I think it more accurately depicts a protester trying to escape the overwhelming force of the People's Army.nbsp; The reverse would have shown the flag of the PRC above the words, quot;Proudly Suppressing Dissent Since 1949.quot; /p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_soldier_front.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ soldier_front.jpg" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_soldier_front" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_soldier_front" //a/p pa href="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/03/mikey_olymp ic_tshirt_dissent_flag_b.jpg"img width="500" height="375" border="0" src="http://tiedyedbrainrays.typepad.com/blog/images/2008/05/03/mikey_olympic_tshirt_ dissent_flag_b.jpg" title="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_dissent_flag_b" alt="Mikey_olympic_tshirt_dissent_flag_b" //a /p pCould there be a better symbol for the 2008 games than a Chinese soldier bayoneting the Olympic Spirit through the back? /p pNone of these designs passed muster with the legal eagles at CafePress. I asked them to review their decision based on the a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use"Fair Use/a provisions of copyright law./pblockquotediv class="SubjectSenderLabel" style="font-size: large;"span style="color: #3300cc;"Please Review Conent Marked As Questionable/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"span class="TextAlignRight Label"From:/spanspan id="SenderData" class="SubjectSenderLabel"br /strongTie-dyed Tehuti/strong nbsp; nbsp; /span/span /div div div class="TextAlignRight Label"span style="color: #3300cc;"Sent:/span/div div class="LabelData"span style="color: #3300cc;"Wed 4/16/08 11:07 PM/span/div /div div div class="TextAlignRight Label"span style="color: #3300cc;"To: /span/div div class="LabelData"span style="color: #3300cc;"cup@cafepress.com/span/div /div div id="MessageBodyAll" style="display: block; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"div class="MessageBody" div class="ExternalClass" id="MessageBodyText" meta content="text/html; charset=unicode" http-equiv="Content-Type" / meta content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name="Generator" / styleamp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;/style divspan style="color: #3300cc;"Several images I recently uploaded to CafePress have been flagged as possible violation of the content usage policy. Would you please review them as to whether they fall under the doctrine of Fair Use? All the flagged images are political protest parodies of the Beijing Olympic symbols in light of the harsh crackdown of the Chinese government on Tibetan protesters and the complete lack of response to the genocide in Darfur, which is financed in large measure by PRC funds. I contend that each image is fair criticism and commentary that is transformative rather than derivative and that the use of both the Olympic Rings symbol and the Beijing logo are essential elements of that criticism. /span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"I feel that the actions of the People's Republic of China are the complete antithesis of the Olympic Ideals and that there is no way to express that notion without directly referencing the symbolism of the Olympic symbols themselves. In the case of the Beijing Olympic logo, the running figure image intended to express the spirit of the summer games is transformed into a protester fleeing in terror from a soldier bayoneting the Olympic Spirit through the back. While the Beijing government wishes to put the best face possible before the world and portray the games as a harmonious exercise in sportsmanship and fair play, the reality of the suppression of dissent and the quot;re-educationquot; ofnbsp; Tibetan people is impossible to escape. There is no other way that I can address what I see as a hypocritical and un-Olympian attitude of the communist regime without directly referencing the symbols they themselves chose to represent their games./span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;" Also, it is doubtful that these works could possibly affect the market for, or value of, official Olympic merchandise, nor will they be likely to be mistaken for such merchandise, an important criteria for establishing Fair Use. In fact, those who would purchase these products are highly unlikely to purchase merchandise supporting the Beijing games, and vice-versa. /span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"I believe that the types of protest images I've created are the very heart and soul of fair use and in the best tradition of protected political free speech. Thank you for taking time to review them, and I hope that I will soon be able to share them with others who share my sense of moral outrage./span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"My shop url is: a target="_blank" href="http://www.cafepress.com/tdbr"http://www.cafepress.com/tdbr/a/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"My shop ID is tdbr/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"The images in question are in my image basket in a folder called, quot;Beijing Olympic Protest.quot;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"Sincerely,/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"nbsp;/span/div divspan style="color: #3300cc;"Mike Cope/span/div/div/div/div/blockquotepspan style="color: #000000;"Here's the response I got back:/span/pblockquotediv class="SubjectSenderLabel" style="font-size: large;"span style="color: #cc0033;"RE: Please Review Conent Marked As Questionablebr /br / /span/div div span style="color: #cc0033;"span class="TextAlignRight Label"From:/span span id="SenderData" class="SubjectSenderLabel"br /nbsp; strongCafepress.com Content Usage Team/strong (a fireant:lock="true" fireant:recipients="cup@cafepress.com" fireant:commandname="NewMessageLock" href="http://by124w.bay124.mail.live.com/mail/ApplicationMain_12.4.0080.0327.aspx?cul ture=en-USamp;hash=1171412713#" class="Command FireAnt_Command Web_Bindings_Base"cup@cafepress.com/a) nbsp; nbsp; /span/span div class="SubjectSenderLabel" style="padding-left: 40px;"nbsp;/div /div divspan style="color: #cc0033;"Sent:/span div class="LabelData"span style="color: #cc0033;"Thu 4/17/08 12:12 AM/span/div /div div div class="TextAlignRight Label"span style="color: #cc0033;"To: /span/div div class="LabelData"span style="color: #cc0033;"Tie-dyed Tehuti/span/div /div div class="ExternalClass" id="MessageBodyText"meta content="text/html; charset=unicode" http-equiv="Content-Type" / meta content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name="Generator" /span style="color: #cc0033;"pDear Tie-dyed Tehuti,/p pThank you for contacting CafePress.com!/pspan style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"Unfortunately your images do not express clear message of protest and are too close to the original protected mark.
