Disneyland jacks up admission at 190% of inflation. The price of admission to Disneyland is going up to $49.75. Frank Boosman points out that Disney is raising its ticket-prices waaay ahead of inflation:
According to Yesterland, the price in 1972 for a 15-ride ticket book -- the highest-priced admission back then and so the most apt comparison to today's unlimited attractions ticket -- was $5.95.
Using this handy calculator (thanks, NASA!), we can tell that $5.95 in 1972 dollars equals $26.19 in 2003 dollars. That means that Disney's ticket prices are now 1.9 times higher than if they had risen at the underlying inflation rate. Put another way, if this trend holds, in the year 2035, it will cost $94.50 in 2004 dollars to visit Disneyland for the day.

RFIDs of the Beast. The Snopes.com Urban Legends Reference has a great new page detailing why radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are (for better or worse) not the "mark of the beast" as prophesized in this passage from the New Testament's Book of Revelations:
"[The beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. And that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."

Buckyballs are the new asbestos?. Buckyballs -- nanoscale new materials based on inspired by Buckminster Fuller's research geodesics -- are theoretically inert in the environment, seeking out other buckyballs and forming clumps that are too big to do any real harm. Turns out they're not -- a Southern Methodist U researcher who released buckyballs into an aquatic testbed found that they were deadly to micro- and macro-organisms.
Oberdoerster kept young largemouth bass in ten-liter aquariums filled with fullerene-spiked water at concentrations of 0.5 parts per million -- similar to that encountered with more common pollutants in U.S. ports. After 48 hours, the fish were removed and their brains studied for evidence of lipid peroxidation, a tissue-burning chemical reaction that toxicologists use as a standard of biological damage.
The level of brain damage was "severe," Oberdoerster reported yesterday at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim -- some 17 times higher than seen in fish kept in clean water for comparison.

Berlin theme-hotel of great and magnificent weirdness. 
I've stayed in some pretty cool theme-hotels, like San Luis Obipso's magnificent and weird Madonna Inn, but now that I've had a virtual tour of Berlin's Propeller Island City Lodge (which styles itself an "art" hotel), I am quietly and determinedly obsessed to pay it a visit. The 40-some themed rooms have a couple of real standouts, like the Flying Bed and Grandma's. I'm moving to Europe in a week -- my first trip to Berlin (when it comes) is definitely going to include a night here.

Artist plans to marry dead poet, seeks attention, gets it. New York artist Shishaldin is planning to marry a French poet. That wouldn't be newsworthy if the poet wasn't Comte De Lautreamont, who has been dead for 134 years. Apparently, an obscure French law allows the country's president to sanction weddings between the living and dead. No word yet on whether French President Jacques Chirac will give his seal-of-approval though.
Shishaldin, a 23-yeard-old student at the Pratt Institute and former Alaskan tennis champion, seems to be on a PR blitz. Earlier this month she bequeathed her remains to the Guggenheim Museum. Link

Judge throws out Pooh charges against Disney. The case that Milne's agent's heirs brought against Disney for marketing Winnie the Pooh merch has been dismissed "with prejudice," after 13 years in court. Milne's agent's heirs brought the suit against Disney -- who had acquired a Pooh license from Milne's own heirs -- after discovering the Milne had signed over the Pooh merch rights to his agent in the thirties. The liability overhang was stupendous: potentially enough to kill the company.
Stephen Slesinger Inc., the family firm with U.S. merchandising rights to the honey-loving bear, had argued that Disney reneged on promises to pay royalties on video cassettes and short-changed it on other items...
In a hearing last month, Disney asked Los Angeles Superior Court judge Charles McCoy, who took over last October, to throw out the case, accusing Slesinger of stealing evidence. Slesinger had denied those charges.

Ernest Miller responds to "Congress moves to Criminalize P2P". The ever-astute Ernest Miller of Lawmeme and Copyfight responds to "Congress Moves to Criminalize P2P," a story I filed for Wired News on Friday. Snip from his post "PIRATE Act Reveals Sen. Hatch as Strange Ally of Pornography Industry":
"Public health and safety are also directly threatened by business models that tempt children toward piracy and pornography and then use them as "human shields" against law enforcement."
My first thought was, "I'm surprised Hatch didn't pull a Gen. Jack D. Ripper imitation and start calling for protecting the precious purity of our children's bodily fluids." My second thought was, "does Hatch know what he is saying?"
Perhaps Hatch doesn't realize this, but most pornography is copyrighted and, as Hatch notes, is frequently distributed via filesharing networks. Since Hatch wants to stop copyright infringement and also discourage the redistribution of pornography, there is only one logical conclusion. This new law is meant to encourage the DOJ to go after those infringing pornography copyrights through P2P filesharing. By suing those engaged in pornography piracy, the DOJ could accomplish two of Hatch's goals at once: reducing infringement and pornography redistribution.
Read "PIRATE Act Reveals Sen. Hatch as Strange Ally of Pornography Industry": Link. Read the original Wired report: Link
UPDATE: Ernest writes, "I've just written another piece on the PIRATE Act ... the feds can use wiretaps to enforce it, something the RIAA can't do." Link

Empirical data on file-sharing's effect on album sales. Koleman Strumpf, a conservative, Cato-affiliated economist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has just co-authored a paper on the effects of file-sharing on album sales, based on the first-ever empirical data analysis in the field. Koleman watched the file requests on OpenNap servers (to get numbers on which albums' tracks are being downloaded) and compared them to the sales-figures for each album, correlating file-sharing popularity against sales data. His conclusion: file-sharing isn't killing record sales.
We analyze a large file sharing dataset which includes 0.01% of the world’s downloads from the last third of 2002. We focus on users located in the U.S. Their audio downloads are matched to the album they were released on, for which we have concurrent U.S. weekly sales data. This allows us to consider the relationship between downloads and sales. To establish causality, we instrument for downloads using technical features related to file sharing (such as network congestion or song length) and international school holidays, both of which are plausibly exogenous to sales. We are able to obtain relatively precise estimates because the data contain over ten thousand album-weeks...
Even in the most pessimistic specification, five thousand downloads are needed to displace a single album sale...high selling albums actually benefit from file sharing.
