That was a copyright claim with someone using the original work. We're (partly) talking about new works with trademarked characters. And characters are not just protected by Copyright. At least when they're in your logo or used as your mascot. That's nothing to do with recreating prints of original drawings or freely copying old episodes that are out of copyright.
I say this, but we all know the real reason Disney is remaking all their old cartoons with live action characters.
Many people also are looking for SMALLER SCREENS (5")/quote Yeah, I thought this was most of the point of the Retina hype. And it was for me (once it got to Android). Smaller screen without sacrificing resolution.
I expect a trademark lawsuit from Motorola on this one. The name is not so different than Razr and they could easily argue that a phone under the name "Razer" will create confusion about Motorola's involvement or lack thereof.
Are you saying something isn't protected by copyright when it's under development? I think it is. It's not first to publish - it's when it's created - no one can take your draft and publish it as their own.
The royalties (to the artist) on mechanical reproduction vs. songwriters royalties are much lower because the label owns the recording. Cover songs by other artists get you nothing after that two years. If your song is more popular than you are, you won't even make enough money for the effort to be worthwhile.
No way to go back and edit - but I said what I wanted to say earlier in the post and forgot I originally started it further down. I got a refurb Pioneer VSX-520-K for just over $200 back then. It's a 5.1 with DTS-MA and TrueHD support. The VSX-521-K had ARC.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about dropping the other two speakers off of 7.1. It's not like they would have different audio, just different positioning than the other rear speakers. As long as you have rear channel audio I can't imagine you'd lose anything of value from the other two (if you don't have the speakers anyway). And if you don't have 5.1 yet, you'll have to realize that rear speakers are a very rarely used effect anyway. 3.1 is 90% of the benefit - it's all about that good center channel (and a sub to a lesser extent). Which is something I didn't realize until I bought my first good center channel speaker.
I'm a real cheapskate in this space. I started with a DVD Home Theater-in-a-box over 10 years ago and the only external input was stereo RCA (which did at least handle Pro-Logic II downmix). Later, I bought the Pioneer receiver and a powered subwoofer and kept all my cheap speakers to start (and no - they were the wrong impedence - too low - and I'm glad I never fried the receiver). I replaced two-by-two, after I bought the center channel about a year later. I didn't replace my rear speakers with good ones until just a few years ago.
I still see refurb and overstock VSX-series units floating around - some with HDMI 2.0. They're all discontinued, I think. I don't have anything to recommend, but Onkyo and Pioneer seem to be the better priced for what you get.
Neither my TV nor my receiver does. You can only fix problems like that going forward. A lot of 4K blu-ray players have 2 HDMI outputs - one for the TV and one for the receiver. This is not a good way to handle it. ARC is its own separate protocol negotiation, so I hope by the time I need a new receiver, they'll have it to a point that there is some degree of forward compatibility.
I got lucky and got HDMI 1.4a support 7 years ago, so I haven't had any needs change. I'm still looking for a passive 3DTV, but the whole market disappeared while I waited for the specs I wanted.
In my case, when I replace my receiver I'll actually want to re-purpose the old one. Probably for audio only. I'm hoping by then that ARC
Or, we need the standard to allow pass-through of signals the device doesn't understand (and pass through the EDID of the TV for capabilities) - the audio portion of the standard doesn't have to change. USB 1.1 devices work fine on a USB 3.1 bus.
ARC mostly solves this in a different way, because the TV handles input switching and only sends audio to the receiver - provided that all of your devices requiring the higher standard are connected directly to the TV.
Just because the signal is transmitted flawlessly does not mean that the DAC is unaffected by a ground loop. Ground is common through the entire device.

I can't. I don't have my own fabrication facility.
You can self-publish basically for free these days
Publishing in the traditional sense, meaning that it includes marketing and promotion - neither of which are now free.

Except on phones with badly designed micro USB ports - then it's the only way the charger stays connected.
Technically, Bluetooth audio supports existing compression - like MP3. It's just that phones and headphones don't both support it at both ends.

Is the Linux Kernel done or is it still under development?
That would be a trademark violation.
Is the Linux Kernel "finished"? Or is it copyrighted?
The GPL is meaningless when every major project is in the public domain by now.
Collusion or standard practice? The cable companies aren't being accused of collusion when they slice up the US by region.

You're really desperate for some argument to justify more than 2 decades of copyright is somehow insufficient.
Opposite. Just looking for a least-effort example to show how ridiculous it is. 20 years is not a long time. Some projects take that long to complete.
Yes, let's just have cars broadcasting their speed. If you thought red light cameras were bad, this would have been worse.

maybe a big chunk of your life waiting
Waiting? No, you quit trying. You move on because you can't afford to self-publish.
But publishers then have a financial incentive to just sit on manuscripts for 20 years. So the situation would only get better for large corporations.
So if you write a book and it doesn't get published by any of the publishers you send it to, they can just wait 20 years and print your book for free?
What exactly do you think encrypted means? Whatever your answer, it's wrong.

Digital Optical was also used on a lot of component CD players that didn't have a built-in amplifier.
And dump everything that's higher bandwidth than AC-3, because it won't support it. No Dolby Digital Plus, No TrueHD, no Master Audio.
