It could be argued that the site is publically available and thus anyone can copy it. There is also the issue of fair use. That is why many people place terms of use and robots.txt files on their sites. It could even be a DMCA violation where an IP (or range) has been blocked, so people from that IP use the google cache to bypass the block.
I don't mind that my site is being added to indexes that the public have use of for free. I have a problem where a company uses my site to make a profit, with no public benefit.
There is case law where unauthorized access to a website is a copyright violation.
I am trying to use copyright law against some of the spammers who scrape my site for email addresses. Then, go after the spam software companies for contributory infringement (let the napster rulings serve some good).
Usually in exams, it is But, there are more than one way to test, sample code can be provided and you correct it or determine the potential problems. Or, give the results after execution.
It is important for the grader to keep in mind that it is on paper and that in the real world you are using a compiler that will warn you about some errors.
I remember in Mattel v. Miller when the attorney for the Miller's tried to have the copyright canceled, Mattel tried to have his ability to practice in Californa revoked.
If I remember correctly, the Miller's attorney argued that since Barbie was on Lili, and Mattel did not list Lili on the copyright application, then the copyright was invalid.
Anything we want to use is public domain. Anything that that MPAA members make never become public domain.
I wonder when the studios have filed a copyright on a movie, did they list the works that it was based on? If not, maybe some of the movie copyrights can be invalidated -- don't you love irony?
Hey, those films that take no space reside on a SCSI raid.
They take space and are not cheap!
The big advantage is that a new file can be downloaded from satelite (why do you thinki Boeing is involved?), with no shipping cost. No concern of returning reels.
You are. Most things that have been written or recorded in the United States since 1978 are copyrighted automatically. From the copyright office:
Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device.
If the system is not perfect and they send notification of a violation to an ISP, where there was no violation, they may be liable for libel, intentional interference.
The amounts seem to be bogus, as there is no need for any equiptment replacement. Not knowing where spews is located, I can't say the jurisdiction is wanting.
But, as a defense, I would want a list of emails and addresses that were sent out. Then the list of emails and addresses that were rejected because of spew's actions. Then submit the list to a couple of class action attorneys in states with anti-spam laws and go after the spammers for sending spam.
Then when the spammers use the defense of the email not being delivered as to get out of the penalties for sending spam, then spews can use the fact that they saved the spammers more money than the scum sued for as a partial defense, if they don't get the entire case thrown out and the spammer's attorney sanctioned for bring such a case.
Which is why the "Freedom of the Press" should be applied to internet publishing as well as paper. I believe that it was originally applied to pampheteers as well as as to newspaper publishers
You are probably referring to my quote of Shaari v. Harvard Student Agencies, Inc., 427 Mass. 129 (1998) quoting from Lovell v. Griffin 303 U.S. 444 (1938).
Where the Supreme Court had to rule on this, I would suspect that many courts didn't hold this view.
Many of the net users do not understand the issues related to ICANN. They don't understand the issues of fair use v. IP rights. They don't even know what a DNS is.
Many of the internet users are not effected by ICANN and may have never heard of ICANN. Many people think that being the master of your own domain is a Seinfeld reference.
If you reduce this from ALL people to people who have a domain then you would be getting a better more intelligent response.
The RIAA is complaning monopolistic practices costing them more money. Talk of the pot calling the kettle black.

DeCSS' Continuing Saga

I suggested this advantage to a few ISPs that have spammers with websites on their service.
I received SPAM refers to images on a specific website, but provides a return email address to a drop account. I suggested, instead of shutting down the site, shut off write access to the site then change some of the images to display text that says this is spam and they are scum.
so why should they care if a few people can't copy DVDs?
That is the problem, and by calling it an issue of DVD copying you further the problem. This is not an issue of being able to copy DVDs or to post code. This is an issue of linking to someone that posts code. The next step is to stop someone from talking about DeCSS. Soon, if there is a crime, the TV news cannot report on the crime -- hearing about the crime might enable someone to commit the crime.
Are they really reformed? Or did they find lacking interest and think we may be able to develop interest in it for them by writting some neat stuff for it.
How do we know that they won't try to shut down someone doing something that they don't expect or like later?
Fool me once, shame on you....Fool me twice, shame on me.
The liberty of the press is not confined to newspapers and periodicals. It necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. These indeed have been historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets of Thomas Paine and others in our own history abundantly attest. The press in its connotation comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion.
I disagree. I find DVD not that sharp. In the past couple of months I have become to appreciate the extra sharpness of 1920x1080 resolution. I have been seeing some of the clips at that resolution for the past few months and still am impressed.
I know that AToC has been done in 1280x1024, but I suspect that is because of the limits of the TI projectors being in many of the cinemas.
But,the person who is making that copy must have been informed that they are exceeding the permitted access. That is where terms of use comes into play.
The court would probably frown on someone having a website/ftp that would just trap users into violation without warning. But, if they ignore the notices (robots.txt) then it should be able to be won.
There has been ruling that the act of loading a webpage into a browser is copyright infringment. This is in a case where the user did not, or was not supposed to have access to that web page.
Under this theory a deap link into a pasword protected site (like NYT) could be a contributory infringment.

It is a slippery slope, when you practice censorship.
Now, when that person redistributes it, then it becomes an issue of fair use, copyright and license.

See Lovell v. City of Griffin. Which ruled:
The spammers get 1 minute for each spam that they send (up to 2 weeks).
Then people can purchase rotten produce to throw at them. This provides punishment, entertainment, and a source of funds for the cities.

SPAM will stop when SPAMMERS are jailed and bankrupted!
If you track down a few spammers, get large judgments against them, and take their houses, they may realize spamming is not cheap.
