CRIA Faces $60 Billion Lawsuit
jvillain writes "The Canadian Recording Industry Association faces a lawsuit for 60 billion dollars over willful infringement. These numbers may sound outrageous, yet they are based on the same rules that led the recording industry to claim a single file sharer is liable for millions in damages. Since these exact same companies are currently in the middle of trying to force the Canadian government to bring in a DMCA for Canada, it will be interesting to see how they try to spin this."
Hrmph. Shouldn't the tagline be:
ASCII stupid question, getty stupid ANSI.
Was born in a moment of frustration with the Xenix System III getty running on a serial port of a Tandy 6000 box connected to a TRS-80 model 4 with a hires card and ANSIterm......the getty was expecting a straight ASCII reply, but kept getting what to it was garbage because the term was sending an ANSI sequence instead in response to the control codes... The gist being that the two were talking past each other and thus no communication was happening....
Man, been a long time. I thought I was the only one who had used that....and I think the last time I used that was over a year ago....
