You can listen to sound recovered from old 78 r.p.m. shellac discs at the Library of Congress National Jukebox... but you cannot download them! Recordings made well over 100 years ago are still under copyright according to the LoC:
Rights & Access
This recording is protected by state copyright laws in the United States. The Library of Congress has obtained a license from rights holders to offer it as streamed audio only. Downloading is not permitted. The authorization of rights holders of the recording is required in order to obtain a copy of the recording. Contact jukebox@loc.gov for more information.
Of course the question who these "rights holders" are, and if anything was given in return for this "license", is unknown.
Yes, equilibrium death is a better term. It's the universe in a uniform state. If it's uniform, there are only a few parameters needed to describe the universe.There is no way to "hide" more information than that within the universe itself.
That, and I remember (may be incorrect) that on Google, you could search for exact phrases in double-quotes while AltaVista just allowed this AND that AND such AND so.
Suppose gravity wins out after all, and the universe ends in a Big Crunch. One or a few Planck second(s) before the singularity, all the information in the universe should still be there. How?
Suppose entropy wins and the universe ends in heat death. For bonus points assume all protons have decayed. All the information should still be preserved. How?
Oh, Oracle doesn't want them? I'm sure that there are lots of "businesses" like Hacking Team (and a bunch of other names that came up in the HBGary case) that are willing to pay top dollar for interesting exploits.
There is no punishment for even malicious DMCA takedowns. It's "kill them all and let God sort them out" behavior.
And that was done *on purpose* to shield the "Rightsholders" from any harm (the strong worded "bla bla penalty of perjury bla bla" -- believed by some to be a check-and-balance -- in fact protects them too, namely that noone can run an extorton racket by make false claim of representing the "Rightsholders" -- to ensure any money flows in their direction and not some fraud).
There should be a "strike" system for takedowns too; x many false notices and you can only submit on paper, and this time on penalty of perjury that the work in question infringes on the work being claimed. That can eventually lead to JAIL TIME.
First strong-arming European countries and down under (this is hidden in news articles as "under enormous pressure", those in the know need no more than that) to adopt web-blocking laws (I think Portugal is the latest with a 6-week end-to-end process?), then later pointing at the "international standards" to get this in the US and Canada as well. Disgusting, how the Copyright Lobby (a/k/a MAFIAA) works.
I remember when "everyone" that got online, wanted to start their own website on e.g. Geocities. Easy to set up, pictures (animated 'E-mail' icon) happily copied from wherever you found it, etc.
Now the Dark Side (copyright mafiaa) is taking over and soon it will be illegal to link to "unlicensed" content, and soon thereafter it will be illegal to link to links to "unlicensed" content.
Because the vast majority of people saying they want a device without DRM don't understand that all of the CONTENT that they want (netflix, hulu, amazon video, etc) is using DRM.
Yeah, right. I guess we all understand around here that a lot of the content they want (YouTube, *Tube, D:\Downloads\Videos\) is not using DRM.
Hopefully someone will release a noob-friendly, W10 Fix Pack that removes all the unwanted crap, disables all included spyware, and installs useful things like Classic Shell, Firefox & Chrome, some other useful utilities/codecs etc. and optionally freeware games. But you'll see the mandatory updates (which should make MS liable for any damages, but that's beside the point) will quickly break this.
Microsoft chairman John Thompson announced today its intention to buy Slashdot Media from DHI Group Inc. "It's our intention to buy these two properties [slashdot & sourceforge] from DHI; first thing we'll rename it to Backwardslashdot, as that's more in line with our corporate culture, and that other thing we'll need to look at." Asked as to the reasoning behind the acquisition on the financial reporters conference call, Thompson added "It's a bit like when Ballmer bought Skaip... Sky-pee... this will all become clear in the near future."
Did anybody leak the "IP Chapter" yet? I mean, that can't be a US-involved Trade Agreement without the Hollywood-mandated obligatory IP chapter, right?
You misread. OP specifically writes the current copyright laws. And yes, they are ridiculous: overbroad, ridiculously complicated, in part based on undemocratic "trade agreements", and with a copyright term that is utterly absurd, clearly meant not to protect the work itself, but to prevent competition from historical works with contemporary works. Just imagine each and every audio/visual recording from the 1970s and before becoming public domain, what an enormous wealth of culture would become available, for free or a minimal access fee, to everyone. Even if you assume that for a "Creative Industries Improvement Fee" of say $250,000.00 per work a copyright could be extended for another 20 years (e.g. a "Star Wars", "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", or the "White Album" by the Beatles, etc.).
And I currently pay hundreds of dollars per month to access and/or own licensed copies of copyrighted material, many of which I could just as easily access for free, thank you very much.
Nadella says the company is committed to bringing Windows to as many computer form factors as possible
No matter how much we have to destroy the classic, functional "WIMP" experience for desktop users by forcing the "Fingerpaint Interface", no matter how much we have to dumb it down, no matter how much stuff we have to hide, but WE WILL put windows on every Form Factor (the cheapest, simplest crap being the Common Denominator, of course).
The freeddit.org domain is still free. Pop a webserver/database/forum on it, declare it a Free Speech Zone, and you're done. You run a site, you decide what you want on it, and what not.
World-renowned developers MPAA and RIAA banded together and are proud to present: TorrentBlock Plus! Download now for Firefox, IE and Chrome! This browser add-on will reduce your network traffic by blocking out magnet links and links ending on.torrent!
An unnamed DOJ government official used a thick envelope that he happened to have in his inside pocket to make a quick calculation that shows network traffic can be reduced by as much as 50% (actual results may vary. See details in store.)
What's going on here? First you try them in Sweden, then you try them in Belgium, next in France? Just when you think the powers behind the MPAA/RIAA couldn't sink any lower...
How about a Three Strike rule for takedown requests? You earn a strike for every successful counterclaim. After three strikes "automated" takedowns no longer need to be honoured, only human-verified ones.

Say can you do me a favour and type the following in shell?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gwx
Thanks mate!

So what do we have to make out of this? These people are safe in Hungary.

that's the Commodore 1530 "Datasette" -- wonder if that trademark is still valid...

Easy to remember: Windows? Gimme a break!

Now add English-spoken voice with various accents (German, Jaimaican, French, Russian, Spanish, etc.) and phrasing/verbiage and you've got a winner!

Ignore these false claims. There is no truth to them.
End of line.

Pluto is a planet. In fact it is more of a planet than Mercury or Venus are, because unlike them it has its own satellite that orbits it (Sharon).
Your language betrays you, Galilee. It's Charon, which is pronounced with a hard k. The alternative spelling for the ferryman of Hades is Kharon.
I prefer the original Klingon, where it's K'haron.
