The person with this content on their hard drive should be able to prove that it is infact CGI by providing the models used for the production, or a like item. A checksum of the characters, etc. Which could be included in the image and/or movie which would prove it was CGI and not real.
In fact, we are getting to the point where the images will be made on the fly from 3D models and such. As such it will be clear it is CGI since real people can't be converted into 3D models (yet). Printouts for posters, banners and such could include a checksum barcode, or even a licence number for that work.
I've wondered about this for like 6-7 years and have never been able to explain it to someone. They tried to understand but for some reason couldn't. I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Starting about 5 years ago I started thinking about common shapes. Could what looks like a line to one person look like a long tight spring through different eyes. Or if you want to go into the extreme, what about the possiblity that some people see multi-colored static for the world around them but have learned what pattens relate to the objects around them. For example an apple could look like a long rectangle of blue static with red dots to such a person. Hey, anything *is* possible.
I agree so completely. I just got done reading the first Myst book three weeks ago for the third time and it still leaves me breathless. Often when I find my mind wandering it is wandering back Myst island and the image of a hand hovering just above the descriptive page of a book. If Myst taught me one thing it thought me how to dream and how complex things really are but alas this is my dilemma. For dreaming I have done, and done again to the point where I can't stop. In everything I do there are those thoughts, dreams, desires, to somehow reach, Myst.
I believe that Myst was the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me, it filled a void inside myself yet left one even larger. A longing, a need for, all things Myst.
I didn't realize at the moment I placed my hand on that page the way it would effect everything I knew, and everything I believed...
I didn't and couldn't realize the way that simple action of opening that book and touching that page would effect everything I knew, everything I believed in...
IANAL, but I believe if the FBI gets a search warrant to search your house you do not have to grant them access at all. However, if they have a warrant they have the right to break down your door and search the house without your consent. Same for the encrypted files. A search warrant would only allow them to try to crack/ decode/ decrypt the files. It would not allow them to force you to give them the key, or decrypt it for them. It is up to them to gain access on their own.
Just as if the FBI knocked on my door tomorrow with a search warrant to look for that nuke I'm making (oops, I wasn't supposed to tell you that... umm) I could slam the door in their face. They then could just knock down the door a second later to gain access.
I don't believe doing such is illegal for either side, I may be wrong. I would get a broken door for my action and they would get access. I believe a search warrant is just that, a "search" warrant. Its not a "Give us your keys and search" warrant.
Think about it. A disposable cell phone has at least one really great use. Think about the person who is stranded with a dead engine and has to hunt for a phone and have spare change to use it. This happened to my parents and I not even two months ago. We were on the way to get Tacos when the van died. My father had to walk close to a mile, at dusk just to call a tow. It was good weather, and we were lucky someone was open who had a public phone. What if it was storming, maybe with hail and high winds? Or snow. We would be stuck there. What if someone was trying to break into the car, what could we do? Things would have been a lot safer and easier with a cell phone in the glove compartment. Having only that use for a cell phone one with a contract and monthly payments to get incoming calls is a bit stupid. I would think they [disposable phones] would become *standard* in all road kits, right next to the flares and first aid kit. At $20 people wouldn't have to worry about losing them or breaking them. How about hikers? Bikers? People off at the lake for some fishing? Just about any place where you may need to contact someone be it for help or for some comfort. I would prefer however if the phones weren't quite so disposable, getting it recharged, and reset for a lesser fee [maybe $10] would be great. It might even have some uses for parents who want to make sure their children have a way to call 911 or to call home. I can't really see why so many are against this idea. Road flares are disposable, so are band aids. I don't see anyone cussing those out. CB radios, and a lot of walkie talkies are anonymous. I don't see anyone cussing those out either. Is it just that everyone should have a car phone already, being the late 90's and all? Well I'm sorry but a lot of people don't have car phones because they don't need to talk eight hours a week to six important clients. Calling cards need a phone to use them. CBs need someone who gives a damn to relay for help. Who (excluding those who already have cell phones and use them often) would not want one of these in the car, just in case? It could have a cute package in the store too. On the back of the package it could show the state, like Florida and show what areas it covers. My mother loves the idea of the phone, so does my father, my brother. They would buy one in a heartbeat. If it meant no monthly fees, no hour long contracts, no service plans. Who really wants to spend more time buying and signing up for a cell and getting a sale pitch then they plan to spend using the cell?

Suggestion, VMware (http://www.vmware.com/). Disable net access, don't use raw disks. Should work great.

It might be a good idea!
