Maybe, it might not create as much of a memory hole. Since it has already been put on-line, the author is due monies for the period on-line (or for each page hit, if they kept the logs).
If the company must pay for the period that is on-line already, why not keep it further.
Since this issue has been around since 1993, the number of post 1993 contracts w/o internet included will be small.
There may be a statute of limitations question on items written before 1994. If it was posted in 1994, the time may have run. It may a publsher company from now posting their pre-1994 pieces, if they have not done so already. Keep in mind, there is one appeals court that said that a photo could not be taken down, but it had to be paid for -- since it had already been published in violation.
All it says is that in future contracts, that contracts for freelancers will include all distribution medium. I suspect that most of the current contracts are written that way.
Probably, this will only effect the articles written over 4 years ago (before the internet became a household item).
The tools are not cheap. It is at least $400 to get MSDN. It costs use $2000 for MSDN universal!
NO difference betwen loggin in via passport? You forget, passport shares the data. Would you be happy with your boss getting your bank account PIN to make it easier to log into your work pc?
If the powerline grid will be the transmission medium, what would the rolling blackouts have on the transmissions? At least with forms of transmission (Cable, dialup, DSL), you can use a UPS and stay up and running.
Yes, but not the writers of GAIM. They could be authorized AOL users, that run Linux. And if they are not, AOL can block based on IP address. This becomes the same issue as if I use your newserver, instead of the one provided by my ISP.
Even if it is confusingly similar, it is non-commercial!
It is my understanding that under trademark dilution and violation, that only applies to commercial applications and use. Since GAIM, LAIM, PAIM, etc. is not commercial, then the trademark laws could not apply.
Since we don't know what is in the musicians' contracts we can't be sure what it includes.
I suspect that the record companies started including any type of medium since the advent of 8-track tape. Until recently newspapers and magazines only distributed in paper form (I know fiche, but that don't count:) as opposed to record companies that had casette, 8-track, video, and radio long before the internet became popular.
Road runner depends on the area. In Austin, RR was great. I had my linux box running for months at a time w/o a glitch. In another area, it drops every few hours. They have tried to blame everything for it, except martian spores.
Actually click-trhough licenses have been attacked in 1st Circuit. There is a class action in Mass against AOL. AOL tried to have it moved based on click-through but lost.
Even so, each contract has a question of good faith and reasonability applied to it. There are also consumer protection acts that apply. Also, there are an implied warranty.
It's easy for the MPAA to go after 2600 and Corley since they can villify him by labeling him a hacker. The RIAA shot themselfs by going after Felton. Not only is he a boyscout (figuratively), but he looks like one (quoting one of his attorneys). And what can they say against Princeton?
What can the MPAA say about Chalmers? I know the University is not directly involved, but they are students there.
It should be the message, not the messenger that should be looked at.
First ammendment rights are not absolute. You cannot force me to listen to your speech. You don't have the right to charge me to listen to your message. You don't have the right to use my equiptment to show me your message.
Email is a push technology, not a pull technology. If someone posts it on Yahoo, or banner ads, you are making a request for it. If they stuff it in your in-box, then you have not requested it on your equiptment. This pop-up/under ads are questionable.
This topic came up at the ICANN meeting last November.
I chatted with Aurbach on it and he pointed that *sucks.com is not fair use -- Its proper use!
The purpose of a trademark is to identify a company, product, or service. You are identifying it as sucking. That is what prompted me to register mattelabuse.com. It has also been ruled In Mattel v. MCA Records -- the Barbie Girl case that trademark cannot be used to silence critics or satire.
Of couse, some large companies will use the courts to bankrupt a critic. Those the case frivilous, they count on the expense of litigation to scare and crush the little guy.
Why have it call up the MP3 player if you have the CD in your hand? If it's to download it to a portable MP3 player, you'd need a good connection for that.
I could see it for retrieving the play list, if your application doesn't read the information from the CD to retrieve it.
The other use is an inventory of equiptment, for things like homeowners insurance. Or you can do inventory for a company. The only problem would be carrying around the desktop, monitor, UPS, tape drive, speakers when using the barcode scanner.
Learn Windows. Then you can do tech support in first class. You hear someone say, "stewardess, I can't access....." You know you can charge them to get them online. $75 for 10 minutes of work is not unreasonable considering that they would have to pay $5/minute to call tech support and they will be running for several hours. Just bring all your windows OS and driver CDs.
Actually, the no electronics law/rule is really only during take off and landing,That applies to cell phones during flight since the airline can't make money on them.
The right of a website to carry what they want. As with/. people can post messages, can the site be required to remove them? Can the site be allowed to remove them? Can the site be allowed to remove them because they don't like your political/legal/ethical position?
Can the government of another jurisdiction impose rules on a website only because their citizens can request information from it? A while back, the French went after a school in Georgia for not having a French version of their website -- France requires all documents to be in French. Will they demand that/. be in French? I believe that China requires government permits on for all websites.
Doctors will often mis-diagnose something, give you treatment, then declare you cured.
If they diagnose CTS, give you some exercise, drugs, ergonomics, and it goes away then it's CTS. But, it could be something else that responded to the treatment. Doctors apply a scientific method to diagnosis as one would apply with programming. They don't develop a theory and test the theory for that diagnosis. Doctors will throw multiple treatments at a problem, and if it solves that problem they declare the diagnosis correct. Doctors generally do not perform the testing and analysis to make a definitive diagnosis.
There goes all our rights when it comes to dealing with corporations.
If a company does not like what they can file a lawsuit. You filed a complaint for discrimination in the United States. They go to Mexico and file a libel lawsuit against you there. You may have a right (and duty) to file a complaint the United States, but it is illegal in Mexico. It does not matter that you never been to Mexico and the EEOC published the press release (and not you) and it could be seen in Mexico, after they mailed it to Mexico.
I suspect (and hope) that at some point, the court will consider the local laws when enforcing a judgment locally.

I have asked them for what is factually incorrect, but they have refused to answer! What on the site is factually incorrect?

It might be a good thing until somebody hacks into your TV and plays gay porn when your wife walks by the TV...But honey...it wasn't me. :)

The court went stated that you could not use trademark or copyright to silence critism or satire. It also discussed the Cat In the Hat/OJ parody.

Oh yeah, your paycheck is in the mail.
Given that, is it suprising that they want to make sure others don't do what they did -- take the work that came before them?
Will the copyright expire on any of the Mickey Mouse stuff?
Not have it allowed to be used for SPAM. This includes SPAM by NSI.
