INNOVATION BLOG:

Welcome. My name is J. de Francisco. Originally from Barcelona, I live in the Chicago area, working at Alcatel-Lucent. Most know me as "Josep" (Catalan) or "José" (Spanish).

I am the co-founder of consultaglobal, an initiative focusing on sharing and discussing innovation practices.

DISCLAIMER:

Views expressed are solely my own and do not reflect those of my employer and/or partners. Links to source articles and other miscellaneous materials are referred in each blog entry.

EXTERNAL LINKS:

The external links posted on this blog are provided to credit content sources as well as a convenience to you. Please note that this does not constitute an endorsement of any information, products or services contained therein. Additionally, specific rights as well as terms and conditions might apply to those external materials. Please check those terms with their respective authors and/or owners.

COMMENTS:

Readers' comments, entries written by guest bloggers, tips sent by email, information provided through an RSS feed are legally considered information provided by other content providers, which this blog is not responsible for.

I reserve the right to review all comments and to remove those that would not contribute to a meaningful and respectful discussion.

The same logic applies to spam, which is becoming an issue of concern. Every week I have to spend some time deleting comments that have nothing to do with this blog’s subject. The number of automated splogs is also growing. These are phony blogs where I’ve seen quite a few of my articles posted. Many do not credit the source and some even make up the author’s name.

STYLE GUIDE:

Updated style guide as of March 13, 2007. Quotations and citations are shown in italics and between quotation marks while adaptations are displayed just in italics. Regular type font is used for my own original contributions. All sources will be referenced in each blog, providing links if known and available.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a functioning democracy. The Copyright Act says that "fair use...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

The law favors "transformative" uses — commentary, either praise or criticism, is better than straight copying — courts have said that even putting a piece of an existing work into a new context (such as a thumbnail in an image search engine) counts as "transformative."
