what would be the point? doesn't all that so-called warm analog goodness go right out the wind once it is digitized (in any step of the process)? most people would be using sources containing those digital jaggies, thus mooting the entire point.
I never understood in these cases why the "marriage" partnership wasn't held up to the same legality as a business partnership. If I had a business partner with joint responsibilities and they didn't do their end, and hit money, misappropriated resources, etc... they'd go to jail for fault... why don't those same rules apply to husbands and wives... crap like this makes "gay" marriage the LEAST of our moral problems with marriage.
easy fix. get all marriage-related business out of the legal system. the government should have nothing to do with it. any disputes can be handled like any other civil dispute: work it out or sue.
maybe duvall or murray could have thrown in some of their millions if it was such a good script. i am so sick of big names in the same sentences as needing funding, like that story about robert rodriguez needing funding about a week or 2 ago. not one of these millionaires can fork up the money?
Zazzle has a clear policy that it will not sell items that violate copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property. These buttons do that.
Let's pretend I reviewed the *whatever* book(s) or movie(s), and published my review (one sentence, say, "I think *whatever* is retarded" ["I think" would be superfluous, actually] or 100 sentences) via t-shirt, button, newspaper, blog, etc. If that is clearly violating anything, then something is wrong. If any publisher could print a review or opinion about *whatever* for money, then this guy can make a button (and sell it, even). I'd wager zazzle censors 100% legit parodies, too. None of these printing companies (zazzle, cafe press, etc) are ever going risk even the modicum of legal action. It's the same shit that happens with video sites. It could be legit, but they'd rather be big pussies and cave. It's all part of the broken court system. You should never be able to win just by having more money.
not sure about linux tools, but here is what i use:
Ripping:
anydvdHD, which costs money
dvdfabHD, which has a free version for just ripping.
Transcoding:
ripbot264 to encode/mux to mp4 or mkv.
My process:
just grab the biggest m2ts file from the bdmv\stream folder. not always the case, but more often than not. from there select the video/audio/subtitle stream, let it demux those. then, adjust some parameters(cropping/resizing, desired output size, etc) and let it go. about 15-30 hours later, there is a file that can be served (via Serviio) over the network to my blu-ray player.
Misc:
i'll use tsmuxer to get the "core" dts stream, and use one of several tools to convert bitmap-based subtitles (idx/sub, sup) to a text based one (srt), if needed.
i'm talking about their Creator's Club program, that one must pay into in hopes of selling it on the Xbox Live Marketplace. "most open" seems pretty closed still. furthermore, consoles need to shed their retarded business model of relying on licensing fees. if anything, they should be paying the developers to code for their systems, not the other way around.
when one develops for such an open platform as the pc, one knows full well that there is piracy and should factor that into any and all budgets and projections. anything else would be naive.
cool, as long as
1. there are no development fees
2. either they allow everything in their shop or allow 3rd-party shops.
if people are willing to settle for such a closed atmosphere on one computer, they must be willing to settle for it on all computers. anything else is hypocritical bullshit.
Mods...can't be accomplished with current consoles locked up by their manufacturers, much to the chagrin of certain publishers.
FTFY.
DLC shows that the hardware is certainly capable, but the corporate overlords wouldn't want free getting into their revenue stream.
just wait 10 years when pcs are just as locked up. i'm sure they'll be computers in the same sense that an ipod is a computer, but some bs laws/eula/etc will prevent you from whatever you on it.
sadly, this is the way it will probably go.
looks like the final nail in the coffin. of course, if you take away my rights to loan, resell, and make back-ups, it is fair that i make sure you don't profit from said commodities.
little side note here. if amazon gives away an album for free in mp3 format, where can i sell those (deleting the originals, of course)? flash drive on ebay? i only ask because maybe a year or so ago,
they offered up all of mojo nixon's catalog for free. i mean, if people can equate copyright infringement with theft, then surely, i can resell those like i would if they had given away physical cds...right?
Until their streaming can match the bit rate & resolution of the physical format, this will be true. Once they start doinxg full hd, and not the garbage they have, with multiple selectable dts-hd tracks, let's see the cost ratio. Their current best HD stuff looks worse than the worst cable or satellite compression.

are sports bars going to have to pay to show games from professional leagues now?
no, it only detects up to 13,000. any gunshots after that are not covered by warranty.
I think they should completely open it up so anyone can register any tld they like.
as usual, with out-dated hierarchies, the people who should make the most, never do.

its too late
a democratic republic is one of a few iterations of a democracy. democracy just implies that somewhere in the stage, the people get to vote.

Who wants to buy a "Screw the Tolkeins" button?
or Ford's Escort service ;P

you're telling me that people like david fincher and robert rodriguez (mr. diy, himself) can't just use their own money? i never understood this.
