As we have witnessed in the CPHack case, fair use does not always help.
A company will spend lots on a lawyer, then even if you win, you still may have lost.
What you said is true, in the case of a sequel. Unless you make brief mention of these characters. Like Star Trek, and Star Trek TNG. Excepting Star Fleet. If you have characters that make "cameo" appearances. But, then is it really a sequel?
Unleashing a virus, requires it to be executable code (unless it's a macro virus).
Now posting code so that is can be human readible (as in a book), if different from putting it into a spreadsheet macro.
Libel is a completely different animal. Libel is making statements of fact, that is false. Either with negligence, recklessness, or with malice. The level depends on how much of a public figure that the person is. You can read the summary judgment filings on my site for the requirements of libel.
Law does have some things in common with software engineering.
It is supposed to be logical. Though it's not. You don't have a CPU making the final determination, but you have human judges making the determination.
In software, if you don't like the universe, you redefine it. You can't do that with the law. You can't re-init (or redefine) classes or variables in the law. You almost always have to consider stare decisis. Unless yoe get the legislator to rewrite the rules for you (and sometimes it takes payoffs).
Warn people the dangers of working through the pain
Inform people of some of their rights under the law
Warn companies (or managers) that RSIs are real
Warn companies what might happen if they ignore the rights of their employees
Show that when you stand up to a bully you can win
I never said that an AC statement that is true is not true. What I am saying is that the opinion of an AC has less weight than someone who will take credit (or debit) for their opnion. That a person responds with name calling is given less weight. And a person who just calls names as an AC probably has a lead laced water supply, but is smart enough to realize it.
The "feeling" doesn't merit enough attention for us to use our real account, but the "feeling" is, nonetheless, quite true. You keep mentioning
cocksucker quite a bit. Is that the result of projection or your job title?
I am fired for taking the time to get treatment that is successful.
They pay a judgment, but continue with a countersuit of libel.
They dismiss this countersuit, when a judge asks what is libelous.
Do you assert that Mattel's actions with regards to CPHack are not abusive? Do you assert that threatening some kid who posts Barbie jokes is not abusive?
A personal attack is a personal attack. Just because you are too much of a coward to identify yourself does not make it less personal. If I mug you does it make it any less personal, if I wear a mask?
It seems like you do give a shit, since it bothers you so much. Why is that, because you wish you had the guts to stand up for your rights instead of bending over and taking it?
Is this a real news story? It sounds more like a '80s (1980s, not 2080s) TV Show.
It was Salvage One with Dick VanDike. Their base was a junk yard. In one episode, they picked up some satelite (irridium?) that was about to fall from orbit. It was on the way back from saving some people from a Space station (Mir?).
You might look at doing alot of layering, so you can abstact to OS as much as you can.
Install anywhere might solve your problem, or at least to some extent. I think it is more a design problem. You can do it in C or C++ if you abstract sufficiently. Then abuse your precompiler for lots of it.
You have to give more detail to get more than just guesses.
I don't know if Mattel realized this, but they bought my lawsuit to keep.
Even if Mattel sells TLC (the Learning Company), since they continued with the lawsuit while they were in control, they not only took liability, but they committed violations of the law themself.
Now, when the sell TLC, they sell a part of the lawsuit to the new buyers, but still keep liability themself.

Let see, the phone company gives out addresses, the city gives out addresses. We should sue them all!
If we can pirate that much in so little time, we could certainly get out movie trailers and advertising as fast.
Why bother with TV Ads?
One must wonder how much in damages have been generated by their and Mattel's lawyers lying or manipulating the truth.
A company will spend lots on a lawyer, then even if you win, you still may have lost.

But the amount of information copied has to be small compared to the amount of comment.
You can't copy a book and then claim that you are commenting on it, because you write "this sucks" on the cover.

Do you know why the site is up?
Did you ever consider that I put the site up to:

Isn't this getting a little off topic?
- I take time to get medical treatment for an RSI.
- I am fired for taking the time to get treatment that is successful.
- They pay a judgment, but continue with a countersuit of libel.
- They dismiss this countersuit, when a judge asks what is libelous.

Why don't you say who you are? Coward
It still has to be litigated with DeCSS and CPHack and such. But this would take money going up the big companies.
It's possible that they might screw it up on the sale.
He was probably probably checking out Tubtop or Barbie Benson.
Is this life imitating art, or art just being thought of first.

Why are you requiring Java 2 as opposed to 1.1.8?

And as Mattel demonstrated in the CPHack case, a large company will bully the little guy.
This will really be litigated when a large company goes against another large company.
Even if Mattel sells TLC (the Learning Company), since they continued with the lawsuit while they were in control, they not only took liability, but they committed violations of the law themself.
Now, when the sell TLC, they sell a part of the lawsuit to the new buyers, but still keep liability themself.
Mattel has to claim that the list is scrambled to protect the work.
That this list is protectible.
But it doesn't matter anyways.
