I assume you are being sarcastic? Have you tried to uninstall NAV from a new machine lately? Took about 2 hours on the phone with Norton tech support. It is deffinately non trivial and it breaks XP.
Well, if I want to upload my legally acquired music to my ftp/web/bt/... server so that I can access it remotely, afaik, I am within my rights to do so. I don't feel any particular obligation to go to any lengths to keep others from illegally copying my files; it does me no harm and it's not any of my business if they do. I am not obligated to protect their copyright.
There is no enviromental damage from throwing your old PCs in the trash. I just dig them out and run them in my basement or give them to friends that can't afford and dont need (who does?) the shiniest new toy on the market. Please, keep throwing them away, just don't bury them in garbage.
So if I lose or damage the disk I bought I still own a license to view the material. They should be forced to replace the disk at the cost of the media, if that is actually the case.
If you create a ne invention you have 2 choices, patent it or keep it a trade secret. For a government granted monopoly you agree to disclose your invention so in a few years everyone can benifit. Putting DRM on copyrighted materials is the same as asking for a secret patent, your asking for for a monopoly but your giving nothing (fair use) in return. I suggest we revoke the copyright on any DRMed material.
I know that US companies make products in the US that are illegal to sell in the US, selling them in other countries. Usually those with less strigent product safety or enviromental laws.
I got back 18 of the damned things from a machine at the port authority bus station. Finally discovered that toll collectors will take them. Keeps them out of public circulation anyway.
This is fucking CRAP. I was watching tonight and the god damned cock sucking ads poped up while I was REWINDING to see what I had missed. HTF am I susposed to know where to stop my rewind if your CSA(1) is in the way and I CANT SEE the picture!!!! Sorry, maybe you noticed I'm upset. I sent a "message" to tivo, no real email or CS address available on their web site, so I am venting here.
how about this: Either you can have copyright protection or DRM protection, but not both. You can either patent a device or keep it a trade secret, it's the same idea.
tunebite looks like crap to me. It doesn't appear to be a digital transform, it is capturing audio out. That means you suffer the losses of the D/A conversion and then an A/D conversion, all after the MP3 loss.
Are you aware that Orbitz has been sold. They are not the same company they used to be and I suspect they won't be a great place to shop for long. They used to be run by a group of airlines directly selling seats, now the new owner is going to want a markup at very least.
You are aware that you don't have to reverse engineer anything that is patented, thats why there is a patent. Any you are welcome to make as many as you want for your own use, even your companies use, you just can't sell them.
I know a guy here in South Carolina that recycles computers and makes a nice living at it. When you absolutely must have a 4Mb HD you will pay what he asks and be happy. What he doesn't sell directly he disassembles and sells as scrap.
We have been hearing crap like this for some time now. The thought here is that if the government can't intercept a communication then that communication must not be allowed. Will privite meetings in closed rooms be next? I'm sure the government would like to intercept everything, a great step towards a police state, but that doesn't mean they should get to. I'm sure they would like me to fly nude after submitting to a cavity search and whole body xray. When privite communication becomes illegal only criminals will communicate privately.
So just who is there to like, out of the likely winners? No one that I see. Just vote Kerry 'cause he's not as bad as Bush. But then, no one is as bad as Bush.
I can easily get a P133 with 32Mb of ram up and browsing the net, newsgroups, and email. Used, they are practically free for the taking. New with a cheap PS and case could be made for probably $30. You need a real modem if you have to dial up, another $40, bit 10Mb Ethernet is around $10 or maybe already onboard. I like the trailing edge of technology, does what I need. I just use lots of them.

If you can't keep it, it's not yours.
Actually it is not legal to sell or to possess AP ammuniction in the US. That might give us a truely effective recourse to these asinine laws.
That's an interesting theory but unfortunately it is not true. Try not paying property tax and see how long "Your" property remains yours.
Ya know, that isn't a security risk if you dont intend to use it.

Didn't september end just reciently? Or maybe very soon now?

Ah! So you have encountered preinstalled Norton I see.

I'll second that, esp. if the host is WWW. Using WWW as a host implies consent to link.

Isn't that why we all have lots of coputers on our home network? One for P2P, one for usenet...
