Top Ten New Copyright Crimes

Posted by timothy on from the sarcastic-followups-are-the-best-kind dept.

anon writes: "Jamie Kellner, chairman and CEO of Turner Broadcasting (an AOL Time Warner company), was recently interviewed on the future of television. In the interview, Mr. Kellner said some very interesting things, including characterizing those who skip television commercials as thieves.' To help develop Mr. Kellner's unfortunately common (at least in Hollywood) view of copyright, LawMeme offers the top ten new copyright crimes, as well as further choice quotes and commentary from Mr. Kellner's interview."

    CmdrTaco went on to call alterslash "stealing". Yes, Jamie Kellner took it one step further than Hemos and CmdrTaco, but Jamie Kellner was also interviewed by a third party, not thrown softballs selected by his own staff.

    You're wasting your time. You're not going to win. If anything this silly display will only cause Hemos to act even more childish.

    Ah hell, go ahead. Maybe it'll get more people to come to my site.

    Unfortunately, the behaviour of your co-editor Michael Simms means we have to browse at -1 to see the truth, as opposed to what you want us to see.

    You're a lot braver than I am. Is there anywhere I can find a list of these unfairly moderated posts? I have a Journal entry up to try to collect them, if not.

    iirc, it was jamie, not hemos who said they wont fix it because it only affects IE.

    I'm confused...what bug? What happens with a wide comment string in IE?

    I don't have windows here, so I can't see what the bug is...

    Personally, I think someone should track down people who post wide comments and beat the shit out of them. It's no excuse for wide posting just to fix it.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. Next I'll start getting spam complaining about open relays in China.

    Comments that contain a long line (one with no whitespace) do not wrap. IE treats the long line as an atomic unit, and does not insert a break at any point. In comparison, Mozilla appears to break the line at a / character when it determines it cannot display the full line.

    Is this really an IE "bug" per se? Just wondering. Where is the specs as to how a browser SHOULD respond to such a circumstance? Looked through w3c site, but couldn't find anything.

    If there are any serious moderators, drop this troll under the bridge he belongs to. I am all in favour of removing mod privileges from people who up-mod this sort of off-topic drivel.

    If idiots like you didn't do this, we wouldn't need any fixing in the first place. Die, troll bastard.
