The letter you received from them may be illegal then, they are supposed to wait for your ISP to forward the DMCA to you, then you forward it down to the person who posted the content. Kinda like a playing pass the parcel with a letterbomb, where everyone who takes off a wrapper is safe so long as they handle it the way it should be handled.
Note that by following this and forwarding a copy of the DMCA take-down to the user who posted it (assuming it was not you) you should be able to claim safe-haven, since you are only "the messenger".
I looked into this recently myself since I help maintain a forum, although my experience is with the slightly mutated Australian version of the DMCA.
I say we wrap the list into every torrent for every recent released TV show, its a trivial amount of extra data, and it means a huge amount of aussies are "helping to distribute it":)
Yeah, in fact 'node now sell BOTH optus and telstra DSL2+ services as well as their own, think that now gives them the biggest coverage Australia wide.
The data block system is good, use it when the month gets tight, I could just get a bigger plan, but its actually the same cost for the bigger plan as for a data block to make my current plan into the bigger one, so meh.
And free (but not un-metered) premium usenet, 2 infact, WOOT:)
Yeah, I hear one of the things they are looking to add back into the game in 4.5 (when it launches) is role playing!
Seriously, we are playing through one of the suggested campaigns with a good GM atm, and there is just no opportunity to role play these damn things, they have simply removed the skills needed in most cases, or just changed the rules in others to discourage it.
Enjoying WW "world of darkness" a whole lot at the moment, you can do so much more in regards to character development and all you need to get going is 2 books... (core rulebook and whatever race you are playing).
I mean the private trackers who either charge money or run extensive and invasive ads to make a profit.
And yes it will help get rid of the the pirates who sell counterfeit DVDs (of the shows displayed at least) since this will be easier than trying to find the purveyor.
Grandparent neglected to point out that his chosen setup was Windows Vista Ultimate running with windows Virtual PC, and 3 copies of Vista Ultimate (2 running appache and one as DB server), it needs 16GB just to boot and serve 1 visitor...
Well, apparently our government has found a few of them, they are not releasing the list (because there are some sites on it that truly deserve to be on it), but I am sure if you either work at an ISP or know someone who does you could get a hold of it.
And yes, I too appreciate the fact the list is now "Over 9000", considering that a search for "revolting and abhorrent phenomena" on google yields over 16k hits, I am kinda disappointed in them, I am sure I could find a lot more sick sites, maybe I should put in a tender...
"I will furthermore point out to the court that the defendant agreed to the modified EULA they clicked through and were thus legally required to install my clients trojan and not doing so by removing it from an encrypted file is a violation not only of the contractual agreement that is the EULA but also a violation of the DMCA"
The short film Escape from City 17: Part One, viewable on YouTube via the link below, was inspired by the Half-Life 2 episodes and chronicles the escape from City 17 by some members of the citizens resistance. It was created by The Purchase Brothers, a commercial directing duo, and their small team based in Toronto, Canada. They have been Half-Life enthusiasts from the start and have created this short, the first in a series, on a shoestring budget using handmade costumes, some donated equipment, and the Source SDK, not to mention lots of their own blood, sweat and (we assume) tears. It was sent to Valve unannounced, and we were blown away -- the production quality certainly exceeds that of the usual community-made movies we see. We're told the second episode is nearing completion, and we can't wait to see what's in store. We hope that you enjoy the series.
PLEASE NOTE! This live-action video contains scenes of blood and harsh violence, and may not be appropriate for younger audiences or sensitive viewers.
Wonder too if he tried un-registering and registering the DLL, maybe windows just doesn't like you tinkering with a registered DLL (fair enough too, since it may be called by anything at any time).
As yourself and others have pointed out, the guy seems to be making several uninformed accusations, and may not, well, know a rats arse about what he is talking about.
I never have mod points when I discover a sane rational explanation in the middle of a stupid debate about a Non-issue.
So a Kudos, for pointing out the Hacked Dll doesn't work because the system is smarter than the hack finally. Give it a few weeks...
Here here, this post is a good reason why the mod system should go to eleven and not just 5.
I was reading the OP and thought exactly the same thing, most of the legacy folders in 7 (and vista for that matter) are links like this pointing to their newer counterparts, and cannot be accessed through the GUI explorer.
As for the sound, "zomg my sound card has problems in this beta OS"... submit report plz:P

U BAI GOLD?
VERR CHEAP!
Same, but then it means I cant use my points in this thread, oh well :)

In any case, get some legal advice :)

IANAL
YMMV
Nice, apparently all of /b/ is to be blocked...

No, for $16k I would be either using raid6 or using some sort of drive clustering (check out how windows home server does it).
Just RMA em, seagate will send you shiny new non-fucked ones :)
EULA :)
Its like that for everyone's first MMO, and lets face it, WoW has been a lot of noobs... err, I mean peoples first MMO.
I still reactivate EQ1 every now and again and putz around for a month or 2.
Hrmm, just had a new one pop up on a customers machine, "Antivirus 360", they are not very creative with their names :/
And pray they keep supporting the latest formats, and that you don't need to use a particular external codec (like CoreAVC for h.264)...
But yeah, we load VLC as well, just in case :)

As a PC OEM installer, we put CCCP on all new PCs we sell, means less calls from people not able to play XYZ media format and biching about it :)
As for the other post in regards to only being windows format, CONFORM OR DIE LINUX/BSD/MAC WHORE!
Ahh, now thats some good flamebait.
Now thats how to put pirates out of business :)

If I had mod points, you would have just been marked "informative +1", but alas, not today Josephine.

Share and enjoy :)
Not really, I have firefox open at the moment, I have 1 firefox icon and 1 google icon (title bar and google search box).
Admittedly the grandfather post should have only said 3, since thats all actually in the window, but thats still 2 too many.
Valve had this to say in the latest steam news...
Seems they liked it too :)
