on-line music shouldn't be more than $0.10 / music.
By USA law, the songwriter gets eight cents per track for any copy of a sound recording. In your pricing scheme, this means the songwriter would get eighty percent, leaving little to nothing for the performers and those who provide the service.
just recompile your carbon or cocoa app as 386 in project builder an it will run.
I cannot recompile Photoshop because Adobe does not provide the source code for its applications. Heck, I don't even think Adobe could "just recompile" signal processing cores written in assembly language.
After having merged with Daimler-Benz of Germany, Chrysler Corporation is no longer a USA owned automobile manufacturer.
Microsoft is the only American owned major console manufacturer. (NOA and SCEA are wholly owned subsidiaries of Nintendo and Sony, Japanese corporations.)
off the record, Nintendo, et al. aren't too concerned about importing of games (and DVDs, etc), compared to piracy.
What about homebrew software development for Nintendo consoles such as the GBA? Here's what I've gathered about Nintendo's behavior in practice:
Devices designed for region modding, such as NES, SNES, and N64 region adapters and GCN modchips: Blind eye.
Devices that make piracy easy, such as flash carts with the same memory map as official carts: Lawsuit.
Devices designed only for homebrew development, such as the MBV2 cable produced by Lik Sang Manufacturing: Blind eye.
We just have the region locks to keep the suits happy
Specifically, 1) to distinguish 50 Hz (Europe/Australia) and 60 Hz (Japan/America) consoles, and 2) to solve the "Peter Pan problem", where different entities own a particular franchise in different markets. (Barrie's Peter Pan is in PD in >=1923 USA and life+50 Japan but not in life+70 EU.) So why did Nintendo put Japan vs. America region locks on the NES, Super NES, N64, and GCN consoles, but not on the GBA system?
"one is data for audio devices to replay and the other is encoded compressed data for PCs to replay."
Grandparent asked if the data reduction was lossy or not. How do you know that the LabelGate format isn't based on some encrypted form of FLAC files, which provide completely lossless reproduction of audio data once decrypted?
However, you areviolating copyright law. Big, big difference.
Not necessarily. In the United States and Canada, it's not illegal to reproduce sound recordings onto Compact Disc Digital Audio Recordable (CDDA-R) media, because the makers of CDDA-R media pay a levy to the government, which gets distributed as royalties to songwriters and recording artists. US statute reference: Title 17, U.S. Code, chapter 10.
Only in later years after mass market acceptance did they start calling it "high fidelity"
However, mass market acceptance wasn't the only factor in calling 16-bit 44.1 kHz stereo "high fidelity". The field of psychoacoustics advanced greatly at that time, and it became apparent that DC-22 kHz frequency response with 110 dB dynamic range and 90 dB signal-to-noise ratio (the difference is due to noise-shaped dithering, which was also developed around that time) was enough to fool the best of human ears.
You had to open the case to do this. And now that oxygen has entered the case, the device will detect that you have tampered with it and will refuse to play copy-restricted media.
that fscking FBI copy warning I'm forced to watch at the beginning of a DVD -- who thinks that makes a difference to a pirate?
The presence of a copyright notice as prominent as an FBI warning raises the offence from simple "infringement" to "willful infringement", which is a crime in the United States.
"So apply to get the driver signed." Microsoft won't sign a driver unless it turns off all cleartext digital outputs when playing copy-restricted audio, which means that the virtualizer would have to open a Secure Audio Path on the host operating system.
"Then just use an older Windows OS." And risk newer versions of WiMP not installing.
"Then just use an older WiMP." And lose support for new proprietary codecs such as Sony's, which is (knowing Sony) probably based on MiniDisc ATRAC3.
"Then try something else." And risk doing several years of hard time in prison the next time you step into the UK or the USA, both of which have banned circumvention of access restrictions.
If I write a program I can say "I wrote this program in Java".
Trademarks such as "Java" and "Spamburger" are adjectives that modify a generic noun: "I wrote this program in the Java language after eating a Spamburger sandwich."
When I am playing online, and the game has timed out for the 3rd time, you bet I kick his/her ass off.
That may work in general, where anybody can run a server, and the dial-up users can SELECT ip_addr FROM hosts WHERE min_connection <= 48000. On the other hand, Xbox Live returns no results for that query.
Can you imagine all the uni students sitting in their dorms at night with their l33t Xboxes, munching 256k each?
At Rose-Hulman, every residence hall's network ports are switched. Thus, if you have few matches between one dorm and the other, and you don't go on Xbox Live (which is prohibited according to a strict reading of the ToS), that's not much of a problem.
use the DMCA to per^H^Hrosecute the living daylights out of anyone who accesses it without your authorization
That won't stop law enforcement. From 17 USC 1201:
This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, information security, or intelligence activity of an officer, agent, or employee of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or a person acting pursuant to a contract with the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State. For purposes of this subsection, the term ''information security'' means activities carried out in order to identify and address the vulnerabilities of a government computer, computer system, or computer network.
According to their bulletin, you can't trust MS. But the bulletin came from MS, so you can't trust the bulletin.
The way out of this joke: According to their bulletin, you can't trust Microsoft's key. Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft's key are two different entities; thus, the liar's paradox no longer applies.

it does define criminal piracy to only include offenses where the infringement has a "value" of $1000 or more.
You refer to 17 USC 506, which defines criminal copyright infringement. However, the courts have interpreted "private financial gain" under 17 USC 506 to include gaining the value of the copy itself, even if no money is involved.
One, it was a Geforce 2, and also, it has built-in TV out, which means you don't switch cards.
I was talking about newer games that don't run well on a Geforce 2. If I want to play those on a computer, I have to find a way to put a Geforce 2 with tv out and a Geforce 4 (with or without tv out) in the same box. But because they're both AGP...
Since alien's run MacOS-compatible systems and communicate using a protocol extactly similiar to our TCP/IP
Not necessarily. It's possible for a software developer to use a Mac to emulate the aliens' computer well enough to get a virus working. It's also possible for such a developer to write a custom protocol stack in Open Transport.

that's a poorly devised sentence. You are mixing present and future tenses.
The English verb phrase "will be removing" is not a mixture of tenses but rather future tense, progressive aspect.

If you use a product such a vmware, it's a simple matter to start up windows in a virtual machine with a virtual sound card i.e. vsound.
Recent versions of Windows Media running on Windows ME and Windows XP will not play copy-restricted audio over unsigned drivers. The driver for VMware audio is not signed.

Its people like you who pay 22.95 a month for AOL , when for about 8$ more you could find a low-speed DSL that blows AOL away .
No, it's people like me who go on $10/mo NetZero in a town where the cheapest Verizon DSL is $40/mo for the first year.

Barratry, or the bringing of frivolous legal action, is a crime in several states such as Texas and can get an attorney disbarred.
