As someone who spent 25 minutes at Best Buy today arguing with management so I wouldn't have to show them the contents of my personal bag, I have to say: HELL FUCKING YEAH!
This is either a skillful troll or a completely idiotic post. Well, if it is the former, I'll fall for it. Apparently you, Kelso, didn't do any research on this at all before you decided to waste your time (and the readers' time) by posting speculative bs. Furthernet is not some "moral highroader". If you had bothered to look into it *at all* before speculating and writing a post based on that pure speculation, you would have found that Furthernet exists because the people who created it enjoy that specific type of music that they allow on the site: live, "jam band" music. E.g., Grateful Dead, Phish, and so on. Those types of bands happen to allow the recording and distribution of their live shows. In fact, the term "Further" is a Grateful Dead reference. They restrict the music traded on their site to that type so that they can operate and trade the type of music they really want to be trading without legal hassle--and also, because they know that by limiting the type allowed, they attract other serious fans of the same genre, and they increase their chances of being able to download and share high quality live music.
#2: it's a PROTOTYPE, as you said. that means it isn't exactly like the real product, and very often prototypes don't resemble the final product very much at all.
#4. yes. a machine gun is good for killing. a web launcher is good for subduing. next time you are the perp, ask yourself, do I just want to be confronted with a cop with a machine gun AND a web gun, or just a machine gun?

You're an idiot. There wouldn't be any creation of new works if old works didn't have a good chance of survival.
"All I can really do is tell them the truth: If anyone gets on the network with their credentials they will be held responsible for what happens."
Uhhhh.....right.
This would make sense for IT staff, but not for non-IT employees.
"And even without these 'what if' scenarios, isn't there an expectation that, if you're in a public area, you're fair game for being photographed?"
Umm.. That might be the current expectation. But that doesn't mean we should or do want the status quo to continue.
Jews in Nazi Germany "expected" to be killed, but does that mean no one should have done anythign about it?
The merit of a normative suggestion is not well judged by the likelihood of its being followed.
Gates should buy the rights to the image from Corbis, or whoever the ultimate licenseholder currently is. Then he could sue everyone that used it.
