A creator of a work, be it physical or intellectual, should be granted the exclusive rights to reap the rewards of their labor for a reasonable length of time.
Why?
Also, you feel if i pay a guy to build my house, he should own the house?
Yeah I think their point is that its not just the directors and actors that have to be paid
That's easy, as it is there are a tiny group of amoral greedy assholes who keep getting paid over and over and over for a job done once (and in some cases for a job they didn't do at all) - just pay them once, and there will be plenty of money to go around.
...than plain old CCTV? Alright, so it's a little unsettling to think of someone with a photo of you taking something off the shelf comparing it with other photos to see if you bought the thing... but odds are if there's a CCTV camera then they're watching you as you take things off the shelf then, too.
The point is, if you read article, its a slippery slope. The goal/dream is for RFIDs to be in ALL products on the planet. And they most people won't be able to see the thiny things (especially if they are inside or sown into clothes), so all things you buy are branded and can be scanned. Perhaps some burglars get hold of scanners, they can scan your house from the outside to see if you have something worth actually stealing. Or the government could do that. In the US they already started to analyze what the terrorists bought. Imagine suddnly being arrested because they thing you are a terrorists because you happen to like the wrong kind of food, or other wise happen to match a profile?
Of course it will happen, as they say in the article, research indicates that people don't like it but can't be bothered to get of their ass and do something about it...
... be a specific pattern to those who only use the network to scan for content? As opposed to those who use it to download. Perhaps one could one could change the network so you could only search say 5 times pr hour?
In fact, your extra effort to disguise the act (unlike an encrypted tunnel, your scheme has no arguable technical benefit) helps the prosecutor show a potential jury that you at least suspected your actions were illegal.
No no, that's the programmer you are talking about. The users have no idea the program is hiding anything, its just a popular program that everybody uses!
Imagine what it would be like if large corporations cripple these kinds of technologies with DRM. Thats exactly whats happening now with music and video.
Which is exactly their point. You think any of them want you to copy their stuff? Not that matter replication is just around the corner.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, the morons could at least let us visit their site.
Anyone know of a proxy that allows you to watch the place?

So in conclusion,
In Conclusion: Quality sells - crap may not any longer.
People often forget about the compensation part...
Mostly because its amoral that they should keep getting "compensated" for a job done once. This is art, if they want a job - get a job!

This is probably just going to have the opposite effect. A lot of people will go:
Huh? You can download movies on the internet? I want broadband!
The ceering up part comes from blowing stuff away!
. The "Kai" line of basic image editors and easy effects for the masses could have been insanely successful if Corel didn't touch it.
And if they had had a decent interface instead of the crappy bloatware interface that just added 50% of requirements to the program.
...the European Union has made it a crime to import out of region DVD's - score 1 point for the evil mega corps.
Another bloody site that uses those damn PNG in links - I wish they would stop doing that and do GIF instead *grrrrrr*
LOL :)
Just shave before the checkout and you won't get caught.
Actually you will, since you picked it up but didn't put it back... wait you did putit back? Yuuuck!

I'd also be suspicious of a kid (which makes me think of up to 12 or so rather than 16) returning razor blades anyway!
That's why he is returning them! He realised he didn't have a beard!
...it was ruled illegal. Because they said, because of EU rules. Which of the countries will have to change?
>educated
That's spelled INDOCTRINATED
So how about explaining the joke?
Or is it like the favourite song among American Bomber pilots during the recent war, is Britney Spears "Ooops, I did it again" ?
they know that after everybody has seen Revolutions nobody is going to buy Reloaded anymore!

So it's a good thing the union will break up in 2013...
1. Buy XBox ...
2. Don't buy any games.
3.
4. No Profit!
So what are everbody talking about?
