How is it a 'loss' to the MPAA/RIAA when people download something they never intended to pay for to begin with? Aren't they just measuring 'potential' sells?...then again they aren't 'potential' if people don't want to pay for it to begin with... wait..
Checked out the article, and on the page what is this I see... An big advertisement (read flash vid) for MS Server 2003 that links to MS "Get the Facts" site
Ok, so I looked into some of what was written in the discovery document. Couldn't get past the first few pages.
First thing that jumped out at me.
Page 2, para 1 (defendant)
"He has offered to provide copies of his passport to demonstrate conclusively his absence fromt he U.S. during the times when song files were allegedly downloaded, but that is apparently not sufficient for the plantiffs."
--
Page 3, para 2 (plantiff)
"Defendant has produced certain pages of his passport to Plantiffs, but those pages are inconclusive as to the Defendant's travel abroad."
Ok, so since when is a copy of your passport (with dated stamps of countries you entered) NOT conclusive you traveled there at that time?
Next.
Page 2, para 2 (defendant)
"...I delivered his computer to Mr. Guida on June 7th for creation of a mirror drive. The computer has been returned, and I am informed that the mirror drive has been done. I have just received their expert's forensic report."
So... guessing Nothing was found, otherwise the plantiff wouldn't keep pushing so hard to get some evidence.
Last thing that caught my attention before I gave up reading it.
Page 3, para 3
"Specifically, the computer produced by Defendant does not contain any evidence of Verizon software necessary to connect to the internet via the Verizon network..."
Are these people serious? I mean, they believe you HAVE to install your ISP's bloated crapware to connect to the internet... Never once in my life have I ever installed the ISP's software, you DON'T have to, and better you don't. When I read that I gave up on reading more. Half of the lawyers, judges, and people in government (more along the lines of 90% of them..) need to be shot. They are way behind the times, pushing through judgements and laws without understanding what it is they are dealing with.
This is the number one problem with this country currently, Outdated laws, and law makers.
Get outside and do things (beach, park, whatever she wants to do), take her out to dinner each weekend (either saturday or sunday)... gotta keep the romance going:)
Signed up me and the wife, hopefuly we can get through. Sorta sick of Blizzard, and this looks promising. Gaming is something me and her can sit down at the end of the day and do together. Basic days for us is: wake up, work, come home, go to gym together, come home and I cook dinner, we sit down and watch a movie and eat, then get on the computer and play a game together, 'get busy', then clean up and sleep to start it over again.
Not a perfect life, but through the work week, keeps us busy and in shape:)
Seriously, this is a huge step forward to getting rid of DRM. Moving back to the times when you bought something, you can do with it as you please (read as: play it from your iPOD, computer, home theater, car ect..). Apple's iTunes just got another customer here.
So there is a watermark, my question to people is simply; And?
