this just in...according to a new law store owners are now required to conduct their own investigations into crimes committed at their establishment. No long is cooperation enough. They must investigate and prosecute everything from robberies, drug deals and exchanges of child pornography in their establishment.
In other news, US police forces have found themselves with little to do, as the city streetsweepers have turned to investigating muggings and murders.
AOL has always been very *lax* (sometimes too much) in turning over ANY record regarding ANY user. They don't need to waste their time and money doing the police/fbi/whomever's job
mod this down. Youre an idiot. A peer to peer file sharing program easily has noninfringing uses. And the only statement you made that is worth noting is that According to the courts...that's the problem. New rulings are always dependent upon the idiocy or the enlightenment of the judges. Not exisiting laws. And YOU contridict your retarded self by saying filesharing is FAIR USE. What a dumbass. If its fair use, then its a legitimate noninfringing use. What are you doing? Trying to get karma by pretending to cite cases and forming sentences with words like "inherent" and "precedent". Most people see through your middle school bullshit;) Hi, Im dzawitz...I cite cases I've only heard about on slashdot!;)
youre a dumbass...the value you get from those 3 seperate items FAR FAR exceeds the value derived from the TVmabob. Jesus christ, its not a hard concept. Buying individual generic devices can be, and usually is more efficient(costwise) than buying specialized goods.
actually no. Limiting access to the actual system is different than limiting access to specific content. It begins with one form of content for one system for one group of people...and then it snowballs.
ANY PARENT NOT WANTING THEIR KIDS TO ACCESS M RATED MATERIAL SHOULD:....whats the magic word...keep the friggen material from them in the first place. If you dont know what your kids are buying, or using for that matter thats your own fucking fault. Technology should not be parenting for YOU.
BECAUSE...for 90% of the users of this tool...they arent parenting in the begining and are substituting this technology for good parenting. Triggerlocks? You dont need a fucking goddamn triggerlock if your gun is secure in a locked cabinet to begin with now, eh? It just creates LAZY parents. And god knows(shooting today) theres enough all ready.
your kids are home, alone while you get groceries. You dont know what games they have access to? We call you a pretty shitty fucking parent. THATS the point. The chips themselves may not be a big deal, and can be used effictively...but its creating a generation of lazy halfass socalled parents.
no but you can prevent situations from occuring. Password protect your goddamn system. Cut the power from it whatever. You need to be there 100% IN SOME FORM...stop trying to get others to parent for you.
Ummm...I garunfuckingtee that there are many, many, many, many companies not to mention people with 'mcdonalds' in there name. The big food chain has no more inherent right to it than them, they only possess the protection against other...similar businesses. I could start Mcdonalds steakhouse if I wanted to. THEY DONT DESERVE THE DOMAIN BY NATURE. Bottom line. This is the internet, not a fast food store
shut the hell up...youre just pissy cause someone else registered a domain before you. Go cry elsewhere. You are no more entitled to register that domain than anyone else and you know it. You even admit to having plenty of time to do it, but you didn't. Its your fucking problem.
this argument is pure idiotic bullshit and needs to be modded down to hell. The internet is the furthest thing from a phone system there is. How many calls do you make an hour? Compare that to how many sites you connect to. How many times when you call somewhere, do you end up getting sent to 50 other numbers? Ya, I thought so. Pure bullshit. What makes the web what it is...and sorry, but the web is the predominant factor of the internet, and the most subsceptible to your bullshit idea...is that you can LINK. That the ip address can change 50 times, but that your link will point to the current one. Thats why it flies, thats why its good. URLS can be descriptive about what they are thats the idea. why the hell do you think 800 numbers tend to be like 1800callatt.
who cares? content is king. I often laugh about the nitpicky idiots who flame people who don't care what the hell their fucking slashdot post looks like. Its an internet bulletin board for christs sake. Not a term paper.
ummm thats the very reason why i side with them. They are, unlike the RIAA, making an effort to start a distribution system. Id gladly pay. but if the riaa wants to dick around and stall in hopes of reaping more profits out of overpricedfixed cds then they lose. Let there be piracy. Let congress declare digital music unrestricted. Maybe then they will get their asses in gear.
mod this up. This is my biggest problem with the RIAA. They DONT deserve ANY protection from internet piracy because they have made little or no attempt at establishing a distribution model. And dont give me the 'its theirs' crap. Its what we, the people, say it is. We make the rules, not big companies(though sometimes....) They have made no effort, they waste billions of dollars on taking out smalltime pirates who arent actually hurting them...when Id much appreciate being able to download individual tracks for a good price...maybe even a dollar. But no, they wouldnt make as much as they do with overcharging, pricefixing cds.
you're pretty dumb. "Accidental piracy"...are you of the generation that doesn't take responsibility for their actions by pretending they didn't do it? Ya, thought so. Theres no such thing as 'accidental'..the act itself is the crime. And this won't do a thing. Except, send napster down the drain. Face it, with out the famous songs and bands they are nothing...nobodies, worthless. The only chance they have had at survival is scoring a distribution deal.
so metallica become m3tallic/-\ or somesuch. This is going to waste more of their resources than is worth it. But in the end, if the trading drops a level to the more able types who can find it, then maybe the heat will die off.
Kudos! And what good is a law kids, if no one follows it! *WE* are the people. *WE* will decide. Not the RIAA. Bring it to the people, bring them the truth. I remember a story here recently about congess threatening the riaa to get its ass moving on digital delivery or it would open it up to anyone to trade. THIS is what needs to be done. They are being COUNTERproductive to society. We force car companies to abide by clean air laws, develop alternavehicles. We force companies to comply with tons of shit, why? FOR THE PEOPLE. Because the PEOPLE matter more than any damn company any day. And if the RIAA wants to lick its ass all day and not provide digital delivery, they DESERVE to get "pirated" the hell out of. After all, there is no alternative. "Burning" your own mp3s doesn't mean shit. Their whole argument is that MP3s COMPETE and CONFLICT with their sales. DATs didnt, so there was less of a fuss. MP3s do. We need to say, get the fuck moving or else. They have the opportunity, and they are stalling. Artificially just like every other bullshit move they make.

ummm...why is his whole site about selling them then? He may not be allowed, but he is. :P
theory is the operative word
who's watching the watchers?
actually no. Limiting access to the actual system is different than limiting access to specific content. It begins with one form of content for one system for one group of people...and then it snowballs.

ummm a rating level is different than a physically implemented method of restricting ACCESS to that rating level.

Ummm what the fuck makes you an expert? And who the hell is talking about religion. You are letting technology raise em, not you.

actually no, they couldn't do that. Cease functioning maybe. Explode and damage other property, we call that a BOMB.
