Slashdot Mirror

We are talking about content created by a student, specifically targetting the school population as an audience. The principle might attempt to 'punish' the publishers of the content you mention, but he is not going to have much luck :)

Okay, lets try another lawsuit. You sue the KKK/Stormfront/Landover baptist/whatever for being hatemongers. They aren't specifically targeting people who go to this school, but anyone they can get to join in their hatemongering (even if that includes people at this particular school). Now say this shows up on one of the schools computers. Does this mean you should sue the hatemongers?

How about some quotes to drive my point home?

Censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of excercising real discretion. - Henry Steele Commager

Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one. - Thomas Jefferson

So what if they bitch on their own time? You think that as students we care?

If the kids hate this vice principal because they are a jerk, chances are they think that the vice principal is a jerk for a reason, generally speaking (in my experience anyway, as a student) they hate kids. Don't you dare try and think that this is one sided.

And thinking that censoring something will make it better only shows that the mindset is twice as bad as the original crime.

So napster stays open, and I have to pay five buckaroos a month for it.

So what if I am a musician without a contract or label, and I put my music into MP3 format, and share it on napster, somebody might download it.

That would mean that, GASP, the RIAA is getting paid so the people can get their music for free. The reason they are getting paid is that their logic is that nobody with any talent might, say, go under an indie label (or no label at all), so any artists with talent should be sold under RIAA CD's. Which means that if I were an unsigned artist, I'd be getting screwed by two companies at once. And to think that some people have this silly beleif that napster is the only one screwing people out of money!

You sir, are one of the brightest people I have ever met.

You are so right that children are not miniature adults. In fact, they have to get up in the morning and go to school, sometimes longer than the hours their parents work. Then they have homework, which means that even if they might like to go smoke some pot and be one of those "lawless hippie-children" you speak of, chances are they wouldn't have the time.


I may be one of those Lawless hippie-children that you speak of. I should go shower. I feel soooo dirty because of it. I don't need some fucking strong discipline. I don't do drugs, I'm nice to my parents, I'm not sleeping around, or doing any of that other stuff that you seem to think that every "child" in american society is doing. It disgusts me that people like YOU are keeping the responsible among us from doing everything we could. It's people like you who think that we should burn auschwitz because you'd rather lay the blame on somebody else, someone who can't defend themself, than make people think about what is causing the evil, and what has happened as a result in the past. It is people like you who are forcing ratings on everything and the CDA to make mandatory censorware in schools that the "children" go to so that they can't be exposed to another opinion.

So they end up close minded and hateful, just like you. I hope it makes you happy. I hope, that if you have children, when they go shoot up the school, that you realize the wrongs of your ways. Or maybe you won't. Maybe you'll do as others have done before and say that it's nothing but a child, and because you voted to keep their rights away, you are forced to take the responsibility for their actions. Will you realize then? Or would you rather let your children get shot up because freedom of speech didn't cover telling somebody about the hit list that little eric or little dylan happened to have? I'm finished. If this hasn't opened your mind up then nothing will.

By seven I was driving tractors and lawnmowers. My parents trusted me to do so, and I didn't run down anybody, I didn't blow anything up, and I didn't damage the lawnmower. I made a good deal of money last summer mowing lawns, in addition to other odd jobs ( I was 14 ), because I couldn't work (legally). Now, would you rather that I stay some abused "brat", labeled so (by trevor goodchild) because I exist? Or would you rather I stay living with my parents till I am forty, sucking money off your paychecks for my welfare?

I assume that would be because in about 99% of scsi adapter cards, there is a bios function to low-level format the drives. Assuming that the key is actually on the drive itself (not a disk on chip of sorts), it would be easily formatted at the lowest level and removed. However should a technology like this be implemented, the hard drive would probably sprout legs and run down to the local police station to bust your ass for hard disk abuse.

Dear Anonymous coward,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination..... End of debate !

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some specific laws and how to best follow them as a true believer.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear prescription glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident that you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.



And I leave you with the note that if I felt that the bible was offensive (which I don't, but easily could), the right that allows you to tell us what should be censored could easily be used against you.

There is no way to change the system. Conforming to normality is only the stupid persons way out.

I understand completely what you are trying to say, but to be exclusive is basic human nature. Many of us have found this out the painful way.

You seem to think that conforming to the norm will make you popular, will make everything alright. Please get a clue. I could stop wearing all black and start wearing A&F. It wouldn't make my IQ any lower. It wouldn't change my religeous beleifs. It wouldn't make me more accepted by my peers because I will probably never be. As to your suggestion of a society where people act and feel normal, will only encourage more loss of conscience than has already happened in this country. There are people who are fully feel that killing people is acting normal. We've seen it before.

Now OBVIOUSLY the internet was not the cause of columbine. The internet is, after all, a means to information. These children, fucked up as they were, didn't need the internet to tell them that they could use a gun to blow away someone else, who happened to be at their highschool. In fact, to build those bombs, they could have learned perfectly well from science class. They didn't buy the guns or the bomb making material off the internet. The corrolation here is nonexistent, but because so many people listen to the idiots in the media, the corrolation was there. But of course, the internet can and is used to give the kids power. To give them freedom, because we all know that as soon as you step out of the virtual world, there's somebody who wants to take the power you had away.

Educate the children.
Piss off the adults

When they took the sixth amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the first amendment, and I can say nothing about it.

What Hillary Rosen said:

Napster BAD! Beer GOOD!

What her PR agent said:

Paul Somerson's recent column, "Enough with Hollywood's monopoly," makes a persuasive attack on an argument no one ever made. We aren't against online music; we're leading the way. We oppose theft -- and theft is the biggest enemy of online music.
Our concern is with those who consistently and intentionally fail to recognize that theft is theft simply because the method is new and their immediate benefit is great -- and then argue that stealing from a successful industry somehow justifies their actions.

Again, let's not forget the underlying issue. This is not a matter profits and losses or of one industry attempting to stifle another, but rather one of defending the creative community's right to do with their craft and their property how they wish. And what they wish -- I assure you -- is to meet consumer demand and bring music to the Internet.

Beginning of a new age The process has already begun. The recording industry understands the benefits to record companies, artists and consumers alike and have for some time embraced the idea of combining both new technology and the creative process.

Across the Internet, new sites and business models are proliferating that make music accessible online while respecting the copyright protection at the heart of the creative process. Artists, labels and entrepreneurs are offering music online on the basis of subscription models, Webcasting and pay-per-download arrangements. Others who own copyrighted material are choosing to make it available at no cost.

As exciting as these innovations are, the most thrilling ones are those we cannot even imagine yet. As they have for decades, new technologies and business models will continue to transform how music is distributed, and the recording industry -- whose business is finding new ways to make music available to more people -- will continue to embrace them.

Clearly ignoring the intent of current copyright law and questioning the legal definition of "fair use," Mr. Somerson wrongly claims that if the entertainment industry had its way, people would "never again own anything outright." The fact is, if Mr. Somerson had his way, artists would never again own their own music, and there wouldn't be any further incentive to make it.

Mr. Somerson fully understands the illegality of stealing copyrighted material. He acknowledges the wrongdoing with the paper-thin defense of "most of us break the speed limit at times," and "some people fudge their expense reports." Finally, he asks, as though his hand was just caught in the cookie jar, "Are you so snow-white perfect?"

An advancement in technology isn't wrong. Swapping CDs with your friends isn't wrong. What is wrong is profiting from others' hard work and knowingly stealing another individual's copyrighted works. That is what will ultimately hurt the evolution of online music-- a lesson Mr. Somerson should learn.

The MPAA puts some bad encryption (CSS) on DVD's, and has a bad, confusing EULA. So when somebody evil (a teenager, no less) cracks it and puts it on the internet, the MPAA's lawyers go berzerk and blame hackers (of course) who don't even own VCR's (of course).

Digitalconvergence (Stupid guys) puts bad encryption (The decoder algorithm is a simple modified base-64 XOR 67) on the :CueCat, and when a hacker cracks it, the lawyers for Digitalconvergence go berzerk and attack the wrong people (the guy who writes linux drivers for it).

Hmm, here's a though.

Steven King writes scary stories. A scary concept is that special intrest groups such as the RIAA, and their associated lawyers (such as howard king) start "educating" people with far more technology smarts (like MIT) by trying to brainwash them with propaganda that suggests that every single napster user is a thief. I don't consider myself a thief. All of the music on my system I have or will be getting shortly (as in when the new limp bizkit CD comes out). I would hope that many of my fellow napster users do the same. We don't think the artist should be ripped off, regardless of what college we go to.

I wish that Mr. King realize the same.

The same is happening with Napster. What the music industry really wants to to is stop all file sharing methods. They know that would be hopeless. The recent University decision to stand up to them has the music execs scared of their position being ruled officially invalid by a court which would then allow Napster (and the many napster like clones that would follow) asured eternal existance. By backing off from the Universities, they're free to continue to harass the little guy sharing MP3s, because unlike universities, the little guy can't afford to "win" a long drawn out lawsuit. He has neither the time nor the infinite money like the RIAA does, so he rolls over, and the RIAA gains more case law in their favor. Truly such behaviour is more than deserving of condemnation to the lowest depths of hell.

I most certainly agree that the RIAA deserves to live in the depths of hell. But I think that rather than just shut it down, the RIAA wants to own the technology.

They know they can't stop it, so they want to get a premium for it before they live in the dumps because the artists realize who is screwing over who (hint hint: It's not the napster fans)



Kris
botboy60@hotmail.com
Nerdnetwork.net

It seems to me that lately we have had a large number of corporations pushing around something called "fair use" because they have more money.
Some summaries:

Metallica, rather than endorse napster, and thus encourage the people who would buy more of their music (as compared with non-napsterees), they alienated 300,000 of their fans, even though lars claims that "it's not about the money" and "music shouldn't be free", basically meaning that he beleives the radio should be outlawed as well. It is not for me to decide how lars decides, but it is up to me to decide what I think of lars and I think he is not in a good state of mind. Lars wants to undermine fair use by making it illegal to have MP3's at all, even if he gets royalties, or if the owner of the MP3's has a metallica CD with the same songs on it.

SDMI is an acronym for the Secure Digital Music Initiative, and attemps to undermine fair use by making it illegal (or impossible) to have MP3 files on your computer, or to transfer them to another media (such as minidisk). SDMI has even spawned a hackSDMI website, where unsuspecting crypto experts are encouraged to do the dirty work of the RIAA.

CSS is a weak crypto that was easily cracked by a teenager. Even though it is the MPAA's fault for not getting a stronger crypto to put on DVD's, they blame it on anyone other than themselves.
DeCSS, a program that decodes CSS, has spawned lawsuits over the legality of linking, and the MPAA has gone so far as to sue 2600, even though none of the people who work for 2600 even own a DVD player. Of course, with the right equipment you can capture or copy DVD movies without DeCSS, but of course that has been largely ignored.


What this means is that whoever has the money has THE RIGHT to make you do whatever the hell they want YOU to do. Who has the money?
Corporations, metallica, Dre, MPAA, RIAA, and the like.
Who cares about their rights?
We do.

I would hope that you do the same, and do everything within your power to thwart the efforts of these people:

Mirror DeCSS
Put links to civil rights groups, slashdot and 2600 on your webpage
Put essays about why your civil rights must be protected on your website
Spread the word to all your friends, enemies and relatives
Write your governor, congressman, president, dictator, whatever, write the important people you know of and let them know how you feel about these issues
Write hillary rosen, lars ulrich, dr.Dre, as well as the other people pushing these lawsuits, and let them know how you feel about the issues
Get all of your friends, relatives and enemies to do the same.


Or else our rights will get taken away. Or else, as pastor neimoller put it so well, there will be noone left to defend you.

First of all, it says that the article is from By Cecily Barnes, CNET News.com, not Ziff-Davis, and it's on YAHOO!

As far as the article: ...to download MP3 music files and even several full-length movies.

(snip)

...
The seized computer gear included 105 gigabytes of hard drive space, of which about 40GB were made available to visitors. Assuming the average music file occupies about 4MB, the student could have had approximately 10,000 songs available for download.

Hmm, he's got both FULL LENGTH MOVIES and music files on his system. That means it is quite impossible for all of the 40 gigs available to the public to be nothing but MP3 files. DUH!

As far as the student, he is a moron. If you plan on running an ILLEGAL MP3 SITE on THE UNIVERSITIES BANDWIDTH, you cannot honestly expect to continue running it for an extended period of time without somebody (like the sysadmin) noticing that you are being a bandwidth hog.

I find it interesting that the RIAA is going after him as opposed to the MPAA for distributing illegal movies as well.

I am also somewhat glad that the RIAA had his account pulled. Look at this quote:
"He was advocating other people to download the music and upload music he didn't have," said James Alexander, an OSU assistant director. "He'd been advertising in chat rooms and we decided to notify the police."

Yes folks, I have a simple solution to this.

An ass-whuppin.


Linux.com is owned by linux VA, which has a SHITLOAD of money. Whoever wrote up the site in question has very little of it, or else I find it hard to beleive that he couldn't spend fifty bucks for a descent graphics program (or, if he's into linux, he couldn't spend the $0.00 dollars for the gimp? whata cheapass.) He also is too cheap or too lazy to develop or even to buy his own content. I therefore say that he should be punished by a flogging for stealing design and a major lawsuit for violating copyright, stealing and piracy (piracy because he "borrowed" the icons from another site and by not giving credit where it is due is claiming it as his own. It would be like me "borrowing" all the slashdot icons for stories on my website [Even though news stories on my website don't use icons]).

NO CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE? HOW ABOUT A BEATING WHERE IT IS DUE!?

All of these people who are trying to keep DeCSS available by making it available for download and by linking to it should give up because the program itself is worthless now.

We can never give up the fight. This is no longer about technology or encrytpion, which you don't seem to understand. Judge kaplan doesn't seem to either. It will never matter later if we give up now. We can give up and let a bunch of greedy corporate entities bribe the goverment into treating us like shit.

Inexplicible proof, once again, that SHITTY SOFTWARE IS IN NO WAY A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR TRUST AND GOOD PARENTING!

I am very glad peacefire keeps posting this stuff. Keep up the good work.

I would like to remind you, once again, some of the sites that censorware will block:

Breast cancer awareness webpages
Chicken recipes
Information on Aids, STDS, and other sexually related issues
Information on condoms, birth control pills, spermicide, as well as other forms of birth control
Certain political sites that the creators didn't like
Sites against censorware (peacefire.org, censorware.org, etc)
As well as a host of others I can't remember or haven't heard of yet.

Sure, it may seem stupid. But idiots screaming "think of the children" at the top of their lungs are generally aiming for your wallet and couldn't care less if your kids surf porn all day, or never get to experience more than 10% of the internet.

It's called the "bubble boy effect". When exposed to a steady stream of small pathogens, people develop normal immune systems (rejection for bad sites). People who live in bubbles never get exposed to regular pathogens (bad sites) and when come in contact with such pathogens as the cold virus (bad site) die shortly after (don't know how to react to it, or overreact). I'm sure those of you with kids would want this to happen.

The RIAA/metallica vs Napster, MPAA vs everybody, and now this suit againts AOL are nothing more than the modern equivelent of that same simple, pathetic thuggery. The only difference is the lack of *PHYSICAL* violence.

Well maybe there should be some physical violence!

Umm, first of all, add more SEX!

Aside from that immature comment (I just hadda get it outta my system) I think that it should have these features:

DVD/VCD support
Mpeg player
10/100 Ethernet connection with software to allow it to talk to ANY system
CD player
MP3 CD support
DVD audio support
MP3 ethernet player (I.E. plays MP3's over ethernet connection)
Optical output
Surround sound support
Digital tuner
HDTV support
Switchbox capability (switch between other dedicated devices for audio/video)
A cool looking remote

And having a low price tag would be nice, but with all those features I think it is unfeasible :-(

I've covered this before, but it was in another thread. You didn't pay for the content, for the film. I know that sounds stupid, but it's true. You do not own the information on that DVD. If you did, you could sell it to whomever you wanted, or edit in lots of swear words and broadcast it. What you paid for was the right to view the DVD in a manner consistent with a myriad of copyright laws and licensing agreements, and those laws and agreements say that you can't use an unlicensed player.

I would like a link to the other thread, alright?

Yes, it is not yours. Technically the movie is intellectual property, so you do not own it. In the same way, it would be illegal for you to make illegal copies, and it would also be illegal for you to claim the a movie as your own (i.e., cross out steven spielberg and put in joe pirate)

Buying the Videodisk/Tape/CD/DVD or whatever media that you choose basically has a licenceing agreement saying that you and only you can watch it. Basically it is illegal for you to start a blockbuster with tapes that you bought at target because when you bought the target tapes they came with a licence agreement that you agreed to by buying the tape (incedentally, I talked with the local video rental guy here and he said that the DVD's cost him a few hundred dollars apeice).

Why you think that all these people wanted to keep DeCSS for illegal purposes I am not understanding. If the 2600 staff made illegal copies of DVD's, it would do them no good because they haven't got DVD players anyway. I doubt, with their legal staff, that they would be stupid enough to sell pirated DVD's on the streetcorner.

Another thing that bothers me about this encryption is the ignorance around it. Technically, someone with the cash and the resources could build a burner that copies everything bit-by-bit and encryption would be incapable of stopping it.

This whole thing is a control issue. If the people who hacked CSS did so because they wanted a linux player (and not the illegal purposes you speak of), and there was already one for linux, I doubt they would bother. I think it is unfair of the MPAA to have a legal windows compatible player, but make it illegal to make one for linux. If they didn't want them to crack it, do what they ask. The people who use linux are, for the most part, more computer savvy than the ones using windows or MacOS, and have the skills to crack weak crypto (like CSS)

If I am a kook because I use my personal website to relay my beleifs, then Damnit I'm glad that I am a kook.

Why you are convinced that I have never created anything of inherent value in my life I do not understand. Other than that it is a meaningless insult to me.

I assume that your last comment is telling me that you are supportive of lars' crusade against napster. FYI, I do not and have never downloaded any metallica songs, and the majority of MP3's I do have are legal, that is to say that I own the CD's. I do beleive that artists should be compensated for their work.

In a noninsulting way, I do wish to know why you consider my site to be an eyesore, rather than tell you to go fuck yourself I would like to learn how to improve my site. Nerdnetwork is my first website and if I do others I want them to look good.

Christianity most definitely did not provide framework for social stability. Religeon has, in most cases, started far more wars than fixed screwed countries. Want an example? Look at ireland.

Christianity has always viewed science as evil. Look up brutus sometime. He was killed by the church because he beleived that the earth revolved around the sun.

Economic leftists need to study history. (While social leftists are fine.) Your website shows me that you have yet to form your own opinions on important matters and this is exactly why the young and idealistic do not deserve the right to vote. They can do too much harm.

Okay, and since the old are wise and pessemistic about new candidates, lets ban everyone over, say, age 40, so these restrictions affect (or will affect) you sometime soon.

Of course I don't beleive that. I'm just writing it to show the hypocrisy of your last statement. A concept that perhaps you don't understand, maybe his website is under development?

You, sir, do not have the right to tell anyone whether they deserve to vote or not. We all live in the same fucking country, the person we elect affects us all and just because we are younger than you does not make us automatically dumber. If you want to see a website made by a 15-year old, that looks good, go to my website at www.nerdnetwork.net. Attaching someones design is a petty, stupid thing to do.
