Here's how you can play their game against them.
Buy a cheap used laptop with a working wifi. Don't ever use it on your networks. Install a clean install of Windows on the system; Windows that you bought with cash from Best Buy or
Circuit City; not with a credit card. Don't let Windows try to register through your own
network.
Using a public access Wifi AP, download a bunch of movies onto the system. Fill'er up with stuff.
Create / Install a remote console on the system.
Fine a MPAA exec with less-then-steller children. Find out where they go to school.
Sneak into that school and place the laptop in a place where it can be easily stolen. Hope that the MPAA's exec's child steals the computer.
When the computer goes on line, use the remote console to have the computer go to the entrapment site. Do the whole bit of downloading and allowing their spyware find all the other stuff on the system.
Profit!
There was a story about some rider that was written by one of the **AA's for something to do with piracy. Apparently this was written without any congressman's knowledge, let alone approval.
What is to prevent anyone from walking in to a legislative office and write a rider? If lobbyists can do it, what is to prevent you or I? Do lobbyists have some sort of special ID to get into legislative offices?
Are these places so loosely run and chaotic that anyone can walk in and do anything?
I have walked into offices totally unescorted to look for someone or something. These are not places where I work; ie; I had no legitimate reason to be there except that I told the receptionist that I was looking for someone or something.
From the sound of things in these articles on Slashdot; I think that if we really want to; instead of sitting here and complaining; we should behave like lobbyists and go into these legislative offices as if we own them and start writing our own riders.
The scourage of all children in playgrounds . . . .
Like in the forest, you look for the bears, but it's the snakes and cobras that ultimately get you. You don't see 'em until it's too late.
Everyone looks and waits to be sued by Oracle, AMD, Ford, GM, Union Pacific, Amtrak, United, Fidelity, Morgan, Carnegie, Microsoft, IBM, Boeing, Raytheon, Intel, Nike, McDonalds, Disney, or any other household name.
But it's some un heard of patent troll, some unknown law firm from the middle of nowhere, who will kill you at the end . . . .
The snakes who sneak around the darkness of the floor of the forest . . . .
From the playgrounds of the world, I am nasty . . . . Making kids cry . . . .
I would like to suggest that we be careful with this type of feature. The more information that we make available about ourselves on any network service or device means that much more data that people whom we don't want anything to do with can get at that data.
I will use the old fashioned ways of photos and vacations, thank you.

Or .rope instead of .net?
Microsoft Rope?

Compiler converts Rope to Chain?

I have not bought a new label CD for at least 5 years now.
