Whats the difference? Music IS sounds. You mean you`re happy with an mp3 of a mono AM broadcast which was recorded with shitty recording levels on a dodgy tape? Why complain, theres still SOME music there...
Well, i`ll admit that this particular story has little to do with the net. So i`ll apologize for the tone of my post (plus judging by your id, you`re not that new!)
I just associate Scientology with the net as just about everything i`ve heard about them involves websites, or demo`s against them organized via the net, the anon.fi issue etc.
Though theres a fair bit of coverage about copyright on this site, and i`m assuming that its only there because of the `news for nerds` thing - there are equally baffling laws/judgements involving the same laws/precedents/defenses but no involving computers, but which i/others still find interesting. I guess Kuro5hin is a more natural place for these `off topic` discussions. Or maybe SlashDot should consider changing the `news for nerds, stuff that matters` slogan, cos you are right - quite clearly a lot of stories posted here are neither!

He said it was ugly, not that they sold out. Anyway, it IS ugly, compared with google. They`ve obviously learned from google with their Raging Search option, as its exactly the same. No ads, see.
You have one hour to answer the questions. Write legibly in black ink. If you require more paper raise your hand and a member of staff will supply you with some.
Hilarious! Sounds like the guy who wrote the rules of poetry which have the piss taken out of them in Dead Poets Society! Can we get him to do a little list of do`s and dont`s for music, art, cooking etc?
yeah, i agree. Also, telling your children not to cross busy roads is a form of censorship. Whos to tell a 5 year old what they can and cant do? its only a short step from that to the sound of jackboots marching, the knock on the door in the middle of the night.
"but at the same time, if they are so hard to enforce, why bother with them"
They probably are too cheap to go to a lawyer with it! if they did, they`d probably find it was legally worthless. Be warned, they may take the same half-assed attitude towards their customers.

Quarter of an ounce. About 7 grams, weighs about the same as a 2p piece (or 2 ones).
Its ok, but not as `visual` as the moroccan.

Yeah, what has a case involving computers and the law doing on SlashDot. Dont want to start a trend, do we?
Presumably you`re new here?
DDT DOES cause problems in third world countries though!
Or `outside` for short!
No, there is no copy protection to crack. Instead, they are hacking into a computer remotely.
>Boycotts don't work anymore
Worth avoiding certain companies when you can though.
Or products from countries with human rights problems (turkey, china, texas *g*)

>>People complain about the free software but >>wont unass the money for commercial linux apps. >>go figure.
>I too have noticed that attitude.
People expect everything on Linux to be free. If there isnt a free version of now, the general attitude seems to be `well, there will be soon`.
I really wouldn`t get into Linux expecting to make a lot of money!
Remember JunkBusters? Why the past tense? I`m still using it, and the blocklist at http://www.waldherr.org/blocklist, and its sweet!
Yeah, and do you like Jon Katz. He can`t code either, but he`s still here, talking shit about peer to peer, micropayments, stuff like that.

I guess they could make possession a crime, like certain plants.
No, its the opposite - bands COULD stick their stuff on the net and sell it, only people would just copy it and pass it around anyway!
Perl has got to be the only language where its actually more readable when compiled and then disassembled!

As opposed to the Americans Al-Gore-ism:
a procedure for solving an electoral problem in a finite number of steps
that frequently involves repetition of an operation.

No shit? You`re smart!

Perhaps its a cry for help? :)
