There's a reason marketing inventions are made. Just because they don't work for you doesn't mean that they don't work for a large enough majority of people for it to be useful.
wonder how illegal it would be to have a company set up to sue companies for similar but even more absurd things as a company that is currently sueing you. Perhaps have a company whip up a quick crappy codec then sue apple for not supporting it. This 3rd party company would be supported somehow by apple.
...and I got modded flamebait?!? Anyway, what's wrong with championing the "begs the question" correction battle? It's important to keep language consistent because it is a very good thing for language. I have educated myself through reading Slashdot grammar Nazis. While you would rather embrace your ignorance.
You, sir, need to look more into virtualization. From your short post your ignorance of it is showing badly. A fluid, clustered, virtualized environment on quality hardware will be far more stable, cheaper, and secure than a bunch of brown box PCs as dedicated hosts.
And this still doesn't create a problem unless inflation increases to the point of halving the value of the dollar every year. If that happens then copyright is the least of our worries.
I'd rather observer people, formulate a hypotheses to control them the try to force that belief onto everyone. Perhaps some all seeing father figure that judges you and threatens some kind of reward/punishment system that doesn't happen until after one dies. That way no one can prove otherwise.
Actually that's not really true. Studies have been done and documented in the book Freakonomics that having the most money doesn't win elections. Money is required to run in an election, but doesn't even come close to guaranteeing a win even if you have the most.
You are making in way to complicated. Have initial copyright given for 10 years. Then they have to pay ever year starting at something like $1 and that doubles ever year. So after 10 years (20 year total) the payment would be $512, and go up to half a million dollars by the time the copy right is 30 years.
If the copyright is worth it then the company can pay it.
If it isn't worth it then it's time for it to be released to the general public.
Someone already has the patent on the...for the common people in Germany patent. This company has just ben awareded the patent...for the common people in India
Actually part of the problem was that people thought they did hit an iceberg but that the ship was still "unsinkable" Otherwise evacuation of the ship would have started earlier and more people would have survived.

With this screen and this wiimote hack I'd never have to go into the big blue room again.

Sorry, I was begging the question.

This may beg for the question, but it does not beg the question.

I started preparing earlier today. Soon I started to get ready. Then I was really into it. Then I lost interest.
Except this is giving incentive to not earn money on a copyrighted work. This is counter to the idea of copyright in the first place.

So every 23 years they get the equivalent of a free year. I don't see that as a problem.
That's because it isn't necessarily the quality of the art, but the quantity of the promotion.

heh, heh, It's funny 'cause...it's true.
"free market" is core to Freedom. All other systems are designed to reduce your freedom.
Sweet, do you have some schematics or details in the operation of the device? Otherwise you lose.
Eww! Eww! yes!! We need a new villain.

That is so sad. What makes it so sad is I read your post and thought, "Me too."
Further evidence of my point.
So you're saying that it's going to cost more to store more?
wow big surprise there.
