no kidding. what will they do when mass replicators are the norm? i always wonder this when the topic of copying movies or music is being discussed. what will happen when almost anything can be copied?
so, you went with the swans, huh? nice. i stuck
with the standard mini-ice-trays, myself, and almost went with the igloos, but then i remembered that an eskimo killed my father.
there is still no reason that people in high denisty areas shouldn't have 45mbps both ways though. i can see out in the middle of wherever, but every city should have at least been upgraded to super fiber crazy speeds by now.
where does it end then? at what point do they start
developing towards the paying customer, instead of wasting money trying to prevent people from taking what they would never have paid for, for the most part, in the first place? why should i be bothered with the developer chasing invisible profits? the perspective is that, one day, the hoops will be too numerous and the remaining, paying customers will just say fuck it.
i will assume that he meant using apple's software at all, including syncing the data. i agree, unless, you CAN just transfer files to an ipod from any app(i.e. windows explorer). i know when i bought my player 3 years ago that was one of the reasons i didn't choose an ipod.
no shit. who in the world thought, hey, widescreen tvs are 16:9, but let's make monitors 16:10. especially in the center of digital video convergence. stupid people.
the quality is not getting that degraded because it is using a different, probably more efficient codec. for example, you can compress a dvd at the same resolution with equal quality
using a mpeg4 instead of mpeg2 and shave off quite a bit of space. though, i do realize that most dvd-rips are a less than the original resolution to conserve even more space. just a matter of time until the players can support x264 off of dvd-rs.
first, this assumes that i can, for personal use, timeshift/capture/backup what comes through my cable service.
i subscribe to cable, so why can't i d/l the shows offered on a service that i am paying for, instead of recording them?
what if i have lots of computers and capture cards that are setup to record everything and cut out the commercials automatically? what if i only have one that does it?
while the former is not feasible, i doubt it is impossible. the content providers wouldn't get any extra money if i bought all that equipment would they? so, i don't see why
a paying cable customer can't use tpb or anything else as as their own personal tivo.
movies, however, are another thing altogether, until, of course, they are available via a premium channel or on-demand or anything else which does not increase my current cable subscription(i.e. ppv).
thats just it, they should just sell the domain names instead of leasing them. and while they're at it, let anyone pick out whatever top level they want.

check out your state/region/country/whatever's buyer's remorse laws. they are well above any company's return policies.
i like the cut of your jib there, buddy. sign me up.
Go hate yourself, here.
is that legally binding though?
no shit. most of the eu back stories are a million times better.
no kidding. i hate people that give any words the power to offend. words are words!

what if the companies are student-run, to learn how to make money?
yeah, for now.
You're gonna have to answer to the Microsoft company.
wonder how his wife, whyn, get bounced mail too.

how about this: if something d/led before it came to my cable subscription is illegal, does it retroactively become legal once it does become available for me to capture? i would think so. either way i would not be paying for it(other than my subscription), the only difference is the time waited. so, if i had a time machine, i'd be all good? this will now be called the "Subscriber-Capture Paradox©".
Class dismissed.
but he could get tickets to a pg and sneak in to the r.
