I would love to see how this test would vary by nationality. Apples big, recent success, the iphone, has only been a big success, as far as i know, in the US.
Yeah its just like this other guy who was trying to harness lightning for some stupid reason. What the hell's the point of that?! What possible use could there be in that?
Its not telling the judges what to think. its a fact that is as obvious as a gorilla sitting on your sofa. The Mafiaa has taken the term sham from a personal opinion to a professional fact and art.
Using the term "piracy" to refer to copy right infringement, is at best a bastardization of the word. Which im willing to bet was coined to pass all the connotation of real piracy aka Rape pillage and plundering (specifically w/out a Nations permission because otherwise its just privateering) onto violation of governmental protection of my/my companies idea. Or at least an idea i "obtained" one way or the other.
A governmental protection which has also been bastardized and abused to the point it doesn't even pretend to have any logical reasoning. The reason i say this is because if you write a piece of software and copyright it (yes they're controversial but that's beyond the point for right now) that's meant to operate a patented device, assuming the patent and copyright are granted at roughly the same time, the software will be protected for a century longer than the device it operates on. I've never heard a justification for such an extreme disparity between patents and copyrights
I will admit that ideas and information does have a longer useful and valuable life than most actual physical products but the entire lifetime of the creator +50-70 years? I know the duration is required by the Berne Convention, but that doesn't help it make any more sense.
I and probably alot of other people would be much more likely to respect copyrights if you could tell me why Hit Me Baby One More Time should be protected till my son is old and gray. And if it can be explained logically the huge legal team fees could be greatly reduced
No it doesn't affect their views, however it is a strong indicator he has an IQ over that of a melon.
Some recent legislation makes me wonder how many of our congress critters got dropped on their melon.
Hey if it actually worked, hell yeah i'd take it (anythings better than nothing). And if the US stopped aiding other countries there would be a huge outcry somewhere along the lines of "those selfish capitalist
Of course famous bands are the only who are doing this.
The point is that he's giving the finger to the label and its being successful. Labels are supposed to be springboards and advertising and media advisers, not tyrannical parasitic overlords.
The real point is that not only has someone realized that they're getting screwed, they're getting up and doing something useful about it. Now if only more people would open there eyes AND stopping laying there saying "please sir may i have another" while getting screwed in all the various ways they do, we might end up with a really good place to live, not just one thats pretty much adequate.
And thats exactly why Scotty always said "she cano take much more captain" when they were probably only at 70% capacity.
If he'd actually told the captain how much he could actually use, he'd have blown the ship to bits in a week
Open 30 youtube videos. Where would that happen? Go to a highschool and i bet you could see double that. It became such a problem in my old one that streaming video became strictly prohibited. Of course im assuming the problem was lack of availiable bandwidth and not a desire to not have to buy more bandwidth
No don't start the literal bible argument. Who wrote the bible? People. Who used transcribed the bible before the printing press? People. Who translated the bible? People. Who's created the languages the bible is written in? People. Who interprets the bible? People. Now are all the people involved in this process infallible and have they all perfectly maintained the message of god, an omnipotent and omniscient being.
Yes it might say that the days are literal but perhaps nuances have been lost or added through its tranlation. And what exactly is day? Is it one revolution of the earth. Is it 24 hours? then how longs an hour? I think you get the drift.
Remember this is an omnipotent being people. He can do anything he wants. Period. No limitations. If he wants to turn you into a pink and purple platypus with a polka dots, no prob.
What i would like to see is a detailed study of how reducing the length of the debated copyrights to a realistic term. Something at least within the ballpark of patents. (yes copyrighted works probably should be longer because the intellectual value does have a longer shelf life.)
But i have hard time taking a law seriously thats saying the legalese version of a kid saying "it's mine and i wanna keep it forever!" If material would be release into public domain after 30-40 years i'd be much more likely to respect this sort of law.
As it is now stuff my grandparents read and listened to could quite possibly still be copyrighted after i'm dead. Thats just silly. Not even fucking stupid. Its beyond expletives.
The current law is the equivalent of law saying anything you find on the sidewalk has to have been there for at least a century and half because it still belongs to the owners otherwise

What's going to happen to it all? My votes on disappearing into various executive pockets

Wait, what? You just used Privacy, responsible and US government in the same paragraph. I'm confused. Are we talking about the same thing?
Yeah its just like this other guy who was trying to harness lightning for some stupid reason. What the hell's the point of that?! What possible use could there be in that?
Yes there may be trade offs that doesn't reduce its worth. If its die from wounds now or cancer later i'd be okay with cancer later.

That's easy to tell, is she lip syncing?
What are you all talking about, its three 20s and its an insta-kill.
Which is what we've got assuming she follows through.

Yes it does smack of posturing but i'd rather they at least posture than just lay around and do nothing (anymore than they already do)
well we're only going to need 640k of ram anyway, seems like a good start
Actually they do because without toilets its a health hazard.
They've patented false?! that's just wrong

Thats right because if they did they'd be stealing valuable jobs from hard working American intelligence agencies

yeah i've gotta admit i'd rather be constitutionally violated than shot in the face.
