Top Ten New Copyright Crimes
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."

Hemos:
Here's the reality:
You block ads.
You cost us money.
Ultimately, I mean.

Just as I said earlier.
My mistake, though, I guess he figures it's OK if you can go to the bathroom in 30 seconds.
Why is he this tolerant? Maybe going to the bathroom counts as a sufficiently similar experience to enduring commercials.

This article is a dupe from late last week....
11*43+456^2
...because we were told some of you did not look at the ads shown with the story the first time.
Unless these are the same ten?
rooooar
Hitting your mute button and closing your eyes is not a crime!
"Can of worms? The can is open... the worms are everywhere."
More public exposure for Mr. Kellner's ideas would be most helpful. As the previous story mentioned, he is our "friend" due to his downright draconian opinions. Any guesses on how long it will take Copyleft or Thinkgeek to do something like this? I know 2600 used to have an anti-Jack-Valenti shirt.

Also: There is an anti-Kellner Open Directory Section. It seems rather sparse though. http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Television/Networks/WB/A
The sites mention the cancelation of the Animaniacs, but nothing too serious.

Please fix the page widening bug. I am prepared to
sacrifice this account to protest against your "it's
not my fault" attitude. You're happy enough to include
workarounds to fix bugs in Mozilla, why not IE?
See, it was fine so long as only -1 accounts widened
pages. 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.
Just think what would happen if everyone had your
attitude... No workarounds, no interoperability... The
Internet would cease to function. Now grow up. Thankyou.
I am waiting to be modslapped. Those in favour who dare, mod this up as a protest against Hemos' childish behaviour.
Thankyou for your time.

Deja-vu!
Judging by your name, you are a jew.
The one that says PBS is unfair because of competition is a non-sequitor. It has nothing to do with ad views. It looks to me as if the folks who wrote the story are trying to slip some pro-PBS ideology into a story that would otherwise appeal to Libertarians. Comments?
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
"Whoa. Deja vu."
"...what?"
"...no, nothing...well, a few days ago I saw an article on Slashdot...and just now, I saw another one just like it."
"How much like it? Was it the same article?"
"Well, it might have been..."
Check your windows, folks!
This is a Chao. A Chao says "Mu."
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.
