Yeah those drivers are such parasites. The state has to steal from us pedestrians to pay for them to drive their big fat gas guzzling SUV's and repave all those roads.
Welfare keeps them for being even worse off. What is needed is a way to tie welfare into a real job paycheck so you can't get one with out the other. Though that too will create other problems.
Part of the problem is that companies stopped paying a decent living wage to their workforce. It used to be homes could be handled on a single income so the father (or sometimes Mother) worked and the other stayed home and took care of the kids. Nowadays both parents need to work. Meaning kids get less attention and discipline which is what caused this problem in the first place.
Unless you store it in battery packs/racks... Which a good number of zero or near-zero solar uses. Might encourage more people to engage in energy self-sufficiency and cut the cord to the grid if the Power Company gets too greedy.
I'll agree with you, except if it becomes a Class Action lawsuit it's far far bigger than him. Plus the lawyer is probably working on contingency which means he gets like 1-5% of everything everyone gets which if you get a few thousand affected individuals is a huge chunk of change.
Exactly big corporations want PHYSICAL PROPERTY LAWS to apply to data and copyrights except in cases like this where it hurts them when they are treated as such.
Before, they were just guilty of infringement on those two books.
They still are, just because they deleted the books does not necessarily let them off the hook either. Like the car thief who goes driving around town and parks the thing in your driveway with a full tank of gas still in it. He's still responsible for theft of the car.
What dont you know you only rent things these days? What is this crazy idea of OWNERSHIP that you all keep speaking of?
Seriously... They fucked up by putting this functionality into the Kindle. Now publishers will require all eReaders to have the same by some stupid DMCA like law soon enough.
If the customer is allowed to make 'back up' copies legally on their own without the risk of going to jail for breaking something stupid like the DMCA then I'd say no. It's their responsibility to back their CD's up.
If the customer is NOT allowed to make 'back up' copies legally then I would say that yes it is the Record Label's responsibility to provide them with free replacements in perpetuity because otherwise the customer would have made their own back up copies if they could have. (Assuming they mail the damaged disk back to them)
Basically the RIAA is trying to have their cake and eat it too. Either people are allowed to make their own personal back-up copies and take responsibility themselves or they aren't and they become responsible for providing the back-up copies.
Well... We have the right to ask what does the ISP need with our personal information? All they need is a place to send the bill and the IP Address of the source and destination in packets you send on the network.
Well it makes sense that it would assume that packed executable = trojan. It is a commonly used obfuscation technique done to evade anti-virus as well as make it so humans reverse engineering teh code have difficulty figuring out what the hell it does.
1) Something you have (like a smart card) + 2) Something you know (like a user name/password say hunter2 for example) + 3) Something you are (biometrics here)
Basically unless you have the smart card knowing the guy's password is hunter2 is pretty useless to you.
No but we're effectively forced to 'buy' her music every single time we buy blank media in Canada...
Good thing the RIAA/MPAA wings in Canada shot themselves in the foot by bringing in the Levy system. Sure we pay a few pennies more but non-commercial file sharing cant goto court because the Supreme Court told them to go fuck themselves and that the levy was already in place to pay for this sort of 'infringement'.
I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that I should take it to a mechanic, because it's a car, and that's where you take a car for an explanation.
Actually if you took it to a rocket scientist they might build you a seriously pimp ride that goes well over 300mph.
Well if the Tech involved seen a folder on the desktop labeled 'child porn' then he'd have every reason to check to see the contents of the folder and inform police. More than likely they installed some sort of video editing software or something and went to the last opened list for a file to test it with.
Illegal evidence typically only applies to police and those acting on behalf of the police from what I understand. The tech may be on the hook for breaching privacy laws or some obscure computer hacking laws but lets face it... Are the cops going to arrest a guy who helped them bust a Pedo? I doubt it.
Yeah it also sets them up to realize the reality of the world... Whoever can bribe someone the most wins. Just look at all the big industry lobbying efforts with your congressmen.

Exactly...
This 'attack' can only work if the person compromised the machine, waited for you to log in and then stole it or compromised it again.
For all intents and purposes your typical street level thug swiping a laptop laying around it keeps them from accessing your shit.

I would say a conditional 'No'.
If the customer is allowed to make 'back up' copies legally on their own without the risk of going to jail for breaking something stupid like the DMCA then I'd say no. It's their responsibility to back their CD's up.

Copying is not Theft.
The guy is clearly toeing the line on Fraud and Extortion himself.

Needs more 2 or 3 factor authentication.
1) Something you have (like a smart card)
+
2) Something you know (like a user name/password say hunter2 for example)
+
3) Something you are (biometrics here)
Basically unless you have the smart card knowing the guy's password is hunter2 is pretty useless to you.
Simple, leave your passport in the hotel's vault and/or your room's safe.

OR... you could leave your passport at home inside a solid fireproof safe unless you're planning to cross a border.
It would destroy the content creators overnight, and then we'd get no quality content.
And you call Britany Spears and crap spewed out by American Idol type programs 'quality'?
All it takes is 1 flush

Overuse of the 'Interstate Commerce' thing is what caused the Federal Government in the US to get so powerful in the first place.
Oh it's easy...
