Well, let's see. The salt falls back down. A proportion of it falls to the ground, slowly salting farmland. Famine sets in, and after the temporary greenhouse impact of a few hundreds of millions of corpses decaying, anthropogenic global warming reduces by virtue of less "anthropo" to "genic" that carbon dioxide.

The problem with Steam is that if you harm valve in any way:
(1) If Valve Anti Cheat (VAC) detected a hack on your computer, false positive or not
(2) They have a billing mistake and double charge you and refuse to remove the charge and when you charge-back through the credit card company
Then they lock ALL your content, even single-player only games (like portal) so you cannot play them or install them ever again.
I've had a friend suffer from (1) when he played at a LAN party and i've had a friend suffer from (2) when he tried to purchase a gift for his girlfriend's brother. They both had a lot of games on their account and both got their access removed and customer service refuses to help.
The question is whether you granted a license for your songs. My argument is that you did.
How is this any different than if I made a mix tape for someone and that other person "potentially" violated the law by making available my music online? Then the RIAA comes along and downloads it from them. How is that any different than me downloading music off of someone and it turning out that the material i downloaded is copyrighted by the artists the RIAA represent?
One cannot argue intent because in order to be charged with a crime you have to commit it, else i can use the "i thought the person who had them shared was the legal owner and was granting me permission to download" argument.
If neither you nor the RIAA are legitimate licensors for the 19 songs, you both broke the law. If either of you are, only the other did. A copyright holder has the automatic and implicit right to copy their content, regardless of the source. That's right -- if I own a copyright, I can copy the work from third parties with no penalty.
If the RIAA had to download unauthorized copies of the work from my computer in order to verify that the work they are downloading is their song, then they are breaking the law. Unless they have a 100% success rate at downloading a song and identifying it as one of their songs, that is.
If I had a right to copy or distribute is not the concern here. The concern is if the RIAA had a right to "assume" that what they are downloading is their song and listen to it. If it was their song, no harm done. If it was not their song, then they just violated copyright laws.
Making available is not an excuse. The courts already saw to that.
If you don't like that. How about this. I copy 19 songs from someone else. I share them on limewire and the RIAA downloads them. Who is in violation of the law, The person who downloads them off of me, or the person who makes them available (me)?
In the rare cases in which the hashes don't match, the investigators download the song and use a software program sold by Audible Magic to compare the sound waves of the offered audio file against those of the song it may be infringing upon. If the Audible Magic software still doesn't turn up a match, then a live person will listen to the song.
So I put a song labeled "4 minutes", like the article said. And instead of it being the song, i have some song i created, then they can be fined for the maximum per song because they downloaded it from me? Sounds like they infringed on all the false positives they download. How is this legal?
RIAA> "Judge, i was able to catch these infringers by downloading songs off of their computer. When i hit the 20th song, i found one they infringed on"
Judge> "And what about the first 19?"
RIAA> "Those were songs the defendant made in his own studio.... oh wait."
Defendent> "Judge, i move to charge the RIAA for copyright infringing on my 19 songs"
Now we can put ALL that money to good use. I think the iraq war needs more.
In all seriousness, NASA used to be a well run organization devoted to science, Where did we go wrong?
So the company practice is to burn possibly copyrighted material and play it back to make sure it worked? How does the RIAA like their unlawful duplication or public performance when the employee plays the music?
Is any person who gives their computer to a technicians also "making available" songs?
The racist who assaults an individual black person isn't just indulging in his personal depravity; he's sending a message to every black that while the law may say they can live, work or go to school wherever you like, he is going to make sure you stay where he thinks you belong.
What happened to the good old times when a guy who assaults a guy can just ASSAULT a guy? Why is it if i am white, the victim has to be white in order for me to assault him, but if he is Asian, Black, Gay, etc then it is now escalated to a hate crime? Sometimes it is not about race!
For that matter, affirmative action is bad. If there is a white guy and a black guy who are equally qualified for a job, then you hire the black guy for FEAR that you will be seen as racist or FEAR of a lawsuit. Why can we not have a society where every man is equal and every assault is equally bad?
When a given moon is small enough compared to the planet it orbits (Earth-Moon) the bigger object has the ability to drastically change the orbit of the smaller one. When two rotating bodies orbit each other, they raise tides in each other. These tides cause mechanical friction. So tidal activity absorbs a lot of energy out of the rotational energy of the bodies. In other words, the energy in the form of rotational inertia is partially converted into tidal, geophysical changes in the bodies involved.
The Moon's rotational inertia has been exhausted, converted into geophysical change in the Earth and Moon. The Moon, being much smaller than the Earth, long ago dissipated enough energy to lose rotation so that its tidal bulges are now always aligned with the gravitational pull of the Earth. The Earth still raises a "tide" in the Moon but it is in a balanced, steady state now and does not stretch the rock any more -- there's no more spin for the Moon to give up.
The tidal effect on the Moon is static because the Moon no longer rotates in relation to the Earth. All these exerted forces are costs in energy. They have to come from somewhere. The Moon did have a much higher rotation rate long before anyone was living on the Earth to observe it, but the tidal forces slowed it down until it reached an equilibrium point, i.e., where keeping the same face toward the Earth was the point of least expended energy. Both will still rotate, both keeping the same face toward the opposite body.
