AFAIK, there is no law that prevents you from storing your music anywhere you want, including in publically available places. It IS illegal for others to copy those files. Funny the RIAA isn't going after downloaders who are violating copyright law but are going after those that have violated no law, as long as they are defenseless. They never want a case to go to court, it would be laughed out. Just because you can't find the violators is no excuse to persicute the innocent.
Nothing new here. Back in the Win3,11 days a favorite prank was to save a screenshot of the desktop as the wallpaper and hide all the icons under one nobody ever used, Hours of fun.
And this hinges on the meaning of "likely". If he had ever driven while watching a DVD, or knew od someone that had, then it was obviously note "likely". Likely != Possible.
Same bullshit again. This is nothing more then penalizing an act that causes no one any harm. If you have a wreck because you were negligent then you should pay the price. If no one was hurt then no one should pay. There are risks associated with liberty, get over it.
Normally I would agree with you, I don't believe in voteing "against" someone. In this election however I will accept the lesser of two evils and vote for the only candidate with any chance of beating the shrub. If they put "none of the above" on the ballot I bet I know who would win.
OK. MS bashing is all well and good, but at least bash them for their sins. I routinely delete 1000s of MB in 1000s of files at a wack on this Winbox. No problem but you probably should turn off your trashcan.
I guess I'm getting old; I remember hearing about the RIAA a long time ago. When I was a kid most stores piped the local radio station into their sound system, trying to make shopping more plesent. Then the RIAA thugs decended, ordering them to stop making "commercial use" of their content, or face the wrath o0f the law. As a result, we now have Musak(sp?) and such paid "entertainment" to listen to now.
That is easy enough to accomplish, just don't release it to the world. Once you publish you can expect others to derive from your works, just like you did when you wrote your program. Or prehaps you never got an idea from a code snipet someone else wrote? We all benefit from each others work, trying to profit without having to share is just unworkable greed. Asking someone to make others go along with your greed by pointing guns at them is disgusting.
I don't see how they were skating on thin ice. IIRC, a patent must to be vigeriously defended, just like a copyright. You can't really let others use your patent for a long time, then announce that everyone using your patent owes you money. I know this has been tried but I suspect it would fail if it actually wound up in court.
I think the content producers are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They are asking for legal protection of their product without giving any good back to society for that honor. I think they should have a choice, either impliment DRM, which deprives us of our fair use rights, in exchange for giving up their copyright, or keep their copyright but don't use DRM. Either use the law or use DRM but not both. Since their main objective should be to prevent true infringment by other media companies I think thay would make the right choice and leave us the hell alone.

If you become our next president would you support drafting young people into the military?
Off topic. Sheesh, does everything have to be about Perl?

I thought thats what alt.anonymous.messages was for.
I can't imagine anyone cracks All of them.
Thanks! Great to know I have the right to starve to death! You try making a living in 99% of the US without driving.

Finally! Well said!

The Lacy Peterson Law was an obvious attempt to undermine abortion rights.

The scroll wheel was in integral part of the HP300 series computers running RMB. Support was built into the UI elements.
You misspelled "Know"

He didn't mean anything, just an anonomous nutcase. No such thing around here.
My win95 box still has doskey on it. That's been around since somewhere around MSDOS 4.0 it think.

Ali Landry;Yum!
You, me, and what, about 3 other people remember that?
Maybe I am mis-remembering, but wasn't the Lisa susposed to be the dev platform for the Mac? A friend wasted quite a few $$$ on one for that.
Is that a slanderous allusion to her greatness, the IPU?
