ITs time to stop coddling these people. WE are neck deep into an Information Age. ITs time to let those that cant live in our new environment die out. Im DONE coddling users. Keep the pace or be left behind. Too much of computing is getting dumbed down and locked up because idiots wont take courses on how to actually operate a computer.
"But, importantly, those ideas, "terribly unique" or not, were **not thought up by you**. Makes your stance on how things should work for the idea's originator kind of a pick the pocket affair in appearance. "
I dont think individual humans are more important than letting everyone hack at it. Humans will create no matter what, copyright is no longer needed to incentivize work. We are now firmly in an Information Age, allowing one person out of 7 billion to control an idea is absolutely counter-productive. Further, Copyright maximalism has been steadily breaking the bargain and picking the pocket of Public Domain to the point where the only sane response is to abolish it all.
This feature works TOO Well on my Bay Trail NUC. Any movement from the mouse (logitech unifying) will POWER ON the machine from off. Still cant find the BIOS setting for that.
Strong restrictions need to be put in place to prevent trademarks from getting infinite protection. ALL copyrighted works MUST fall back into the Public Domain or why are we giving them monopolies? This includes trademarks.
NO. trademarks are part of culture too, and i am uncomfortable giving anyone perpetual monopoly on culture. Your idea would strip The People of the right to the work that was copyrighted. Mickey Mouse the idea and the associated actual works should be Public Domain now, regardless if Disney uses Mickey as a trademark. Continued monetization should not be a criteria at all. Public Domain its free of ALL restrictions, trademarks should eventually lose their protection over time too.
I dont think authors should have exclusive control. That is a silly idea in an Information Age. Most ideas are not terribly unique, but a product of the environment we all foster. Even Newton, possibly the smartest man to ever live said so. An author can certainly provide certified copies and people are free to read those, and ignore the forks. WE gain so much more by letting people go wild with ideas, instead of letting it all come from one source. Star Wars is a good example of where the EU vastly outshone the original material. Imagine if the EU had been quashed, would we be better for it?
Not even close. I barely even use Netflix. Im talking about the idea that after 28 years, We The People are supposed to OWN those works. That was the bargain, it is the price for us granting limited monopolies. In the age where creating is easier than ever, we are on track to permanently extend copyright forever which is pure insanity and counter to the aims and purpose of copyright.
The tyranny is that i cant SHARE that movie freely without incurring the possibility of life-destroying penalties. ITs not about the cost, its about the restrictions. This is the deep end of the pool, come with a more thought out argument next time.
As copyright stands now, maximalists have pushed it so far, the ONLY logical counter is to destroy the whole system and start over. I do not and will not respect copyright for the rest of my life. Everything from before 1986 should be in the Pubic Domain right now. Terminator, War Games, Vacation etc all should be free to the public TODAY. I gladly pay people for good works, i refuse to pay to perpetuate tyranny over man's mind.
You simply dont get it. You think that no one should be able to tell the government no, and thats not Liberty. The point of the Amendments is to stop people exactly like you. The 5th is a hard check on sovereign power over things like this. There are limits to how far we allow the government to go to solve crime.
Stallman? Seriously though, the world is not black and white like this. And please feel free to peruse my 10+ year Slashdot history, full of very harsh criticisms of Microsoft.
This is why we established the Bill of Rights, so that we have clear guidance of where these points meet. At the end of the day encryption is protected by the 4th and 5th amendments. I would rather a few cases go unsolved than give those up.
This is pretty much it.The Founders want to work on true Information Age stuff, but being all under one flag was just drawing too much heat from the political waves this kind of change causes.
"ARM processors from now on" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one. ARM is a joke compared to Intel. No company spends more on chip research and design than intel. Further ARM is supported by a ton of REALLY REALLY insecure operating systems. iOS and Android are both far more leaky by default than this exploit.
This is HR speak, not human speak. Humans are VERY AMOROUS, the ONLY people with a vested interest in stopping this is the company. You can call it unprofessional, but that just shows how soulless business is.
The advertising industry is the enemy. We need to start pushing back a lot harder. Computers are now designed as advertising machines, its time to end it.
There is no legal or moral REASON to grant perpetual copyright. The original point of copyright is to enrich the public more than the artist. The Public's interest is supposed dominant here. Granting perpetual copyright to ideas is very bad.
Exactly. There needs to be 'cultural ubiquity' limits like with trademarks. Happy Birthday is a cultural artifact and its copyright should be rescinded due to ubiquity and cultural importance. At least that is a system i would like to see put in place.

Its the 'effects' part you dolt

The price of Freedom is eternal vigilance. Did you forget that?
People have the right to make unbreakable locks. I do not OWE my government a back door.
The time will come when Title II regulation will mean we are going to cap the prices, just like we do electricity and other utilities.

And its clear by now that its never going to change.
