Even if both of them were to give an answer it would be so vague that it would probably make no sense what so ever. Now if you go back and look at their advisors you may get a better idea.
McCain I blieve has former RIAA lawyer as his Tech Advisor Obama has a professor from MIT as his
source from a prior slashdot article but it is to early and I haven't had my caffiene yet.
And no they can't use the claim of well we downloaded it from them as proof of actual distribution. Since the copyright holder can not infringe on their own work. So good luck with that one unless they can pull her p2p logs show each and every person she actually distributed to. I see this case and future ones as a lost cause, since their bread and butter of "making available" now seems to be null and void.
but one has to wonder how much of that 10.5% will line their pockets and not the artists they are suppose to be paying instead.
I figure it will go something like this.
9.0% - executives cut for thinking of the brilliant idea 1.0% - towards lawyer fee for fighting the pirates, arrgh! 0.45% - Marketing for bands that suck 0.05% - divided up in unequal proportions based on popularity and industry mandated play times for certain artists
the IOC has ordered a formal investigation into this scandel after recent "evidence" has shown up.
MSNBC Excerpt: "BEIJING - The International Olympic Committee said Friday it had asked gymnastics officials to investigate whether the Chinese womenâ(TM)s gymnastics team that won the gold medal had underage athletes, saying âoemore information has come to light.â
âoeWeâ(TM)ve asked the gymnastics federation to look into it further,â IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said. âoeIf there is a question mark and we have a concern, which we do, we ask the governing body of any sport to look into it.â
The IOC, which also asked the Chinese gymnastics federation to investigate, would not give details on what new information prompted it to act now, three days after the gymnastics competition ended."
Twelve Grand?! Is this another indicator of inflation? Who is billing this out? For 12 grand the phone companies should give you a phone that will work for life, from anywhere, to anywhere. Are the same people responsible for claiming that a quarter of schwag has a "street value" of fifty grand?
Well look at it this way. $12,000 in calls divided by the 400+ calls would bring it to less than $30 per call. For anyone who has made calls to overseas knows that the rates are freakin expensive.
For example from the FCC Here are sample costs for calls to France from the U.S. at basic and discounted rates:
Basic Rate is $1.77-2.77 per minute
Note: The actual rates and terms from companies you choose may be different than those shown.
So, she found a process that uses cheap, easily accessible parts that would allow people in poor countries to help themselves.
And she patented it. So she can commercialize it.
Fuck off and die, bitch.
Just because you patent it that doesn't mean you have to charge an arm and a leg for it. Some people simply get a patent so others can't steal their idea. Say some gready corp who says hey this is cheap and effective and we can make a fortune even if we up the cost 5000% or more.
The will run a scan on all software on the system. Tell you what is there, what has vulnerabilites, patches availible, secure and what has reached their end of life. For those with patches missing or vulnerabilites it will then rate them on criticality. Plus you can also scan remote machines as well.
I find this very usefull for tracking down those bugger programs that are not always listed in add remove programs to see what is all hiding on the system.
