Oh, but he's on the malicious side, so he's right, and the University trying to protect itself, from someone violating just about every University policy with no expectation of privacy on the network of a public research university, is wrong?
Let me know when you people get your stories straight.
Or you could take your pills and stop freaking out over something which wasn't written. The story simply reports what has happened.
So his assertion is that if the original copying took place in England, the copies on youtubes servers do not violate US copyright law.
For the third time, no - that is not his assertion. He is saying that the DMCA is not valid in the UK since it is an american law (that it is about copyright doesn't make it valid)
Since you seem to have a lot of trouble understanding this, lets try a differnet topic: Murder.
Murder is illegal in the UK and the US. But in some states in the US you can get the death penalty, you can't in the UK. Somebody in the UK couldn't just decide that they wanted to try someone under an american law and have him executed because "murder is illegal in both countries."
See the above quote from jd's post. He did indeed say it,
I DID reread the post before I replied, he didn't say that, you are twisting his words.
Well, strategy isn't strategy if you steal it from someone else - then its a gimick that might work once - but if you can't plan and adapt you'll get your butt handed to you in the long run:)
Although not entirely relevant, he says the guild Nihilum(*) are trying to kill "Lady Vashj" - they are not trying anymore they did it several days ago;)
* So what does Nihilum mean anyway? "We who are nothing" ? Would be funny if it did since they have so many "firsts" (of course they may not have much of a life because of that;)
Ok, good work guys - but really! This modern world is driving me up the wall today - this has been mentioned EVERYWHERE. *zap* french train *zap* french train *zap* french train - ok turn on radio - arrrrrrgh, french train!
They invented a fast train? Good for them, but what someone really needs to invent is a way to killfile the real world, now that would be something.
The US is party to the Berne Convention. That makes works copyright in Britain also copyright in the US, but it is US copyright that applies in the US. It's quite relevant to what he said.
No its not the least bit relevant. The topic was about The Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and wether or not an american law should be (ab)used by a british company when brittish law would have sufficed.
His idea that if it was originally copied in the UK then distributing copies via youtube would not be infringement was rather nonsensical, but if you ignore that,
And it certainly should be ignored since he didn't say that, you just made it up.
the essence is that UK copyrights (the rights, not UK laws) apply in the US (enforced according to US law), contrary to the jd's assertion.
No idea what you mean by "jd", but nobody in this thread that I've seen has asserted that.
Britney Spears as Uhura - it is a reboot after all, ment to appeal to the masses (the new masses - the old ones went into coma after Berman mistreated Star trek over the years)
Good luck creating the equivalent of "live performances" for TV shows, Movies, games, and animation.
If they can't find a way to make money then it dies. There are several studies showing that TV is one of the worst influences ever to happen to society, so it might not be bad if it died out.
We are looking at a lot of people being out of work as a result. Not the "stars" but the studio grunts and the folks in the promotions and marketing departments.
That's not the fault of downloaders. When they studios still earn billions it is squarely the fault of the studioes when the bosses and "stars" want their amorally large saleries while refuseing to take a million or two paycut to pay "the little guy". In civilized countries there are rules about *how little* you are allowed to earn, there should also be rules about how much, because its sick when some of these people are the top get mega billions.

You know, the fact that the majority of global warming is a natural occurance.
No, thats just something you made up because you believe what YOU FEEL is more important than research and objective facts.
you will see, for example that it does state that under moderate warming conditions, North America will see an increase in crop yields.
And tornados, hurricans and floods.

These guys are assholes and proud of it.
But at least they never spam people ingame, like the 500 other looser outfits.
Anything that happens on Blizzard's servers is THEIR property.
It is of course a sick twisted law that makes something entirely non exsisting PROPERTY.
Having said that, short of shutting down all the servers, there's no way to stop it.
Indeed.
Youtube is in the US.
Very good!
It's not me that's having trouble getting it.
If you don't understand that he says the DMCA is not a law which governs the UK, then yes you have.
I notice that jd hasn't said my reply wasn't relevant.
Did you also notice he hasn't said my reply was irrelevant? Perhaps doesn't return to old threads.
You might need to consider that you haven't understood either his or my posts.
You've had ample time to prove that objectively (instead of fabricating things not written)
Have the last say if you want, I'm not even going to read it.
Very mature.

hehe, you have my sympathy :)

I was greatly disappointed.
But then I had forgotten I was a fan of Firefly not Joss Whedon.
There are NOT caves on the SURFACE - the whole point of caves is they are inside something you know ;)

About numbers, if both sides have the same items (and two sponsored teams would) then its back to who has the best strategy.

They are not required by law to accept the word of non american liars.
Hey idiot, the berne convetion is NOT US law.
Idiot. Mod the parent down.
Only $200,000 ?! Those amoral creeps should have been slapped for several billion!

Much easier and *CHEAPER* to simply have their resturants listed on Google Earth - which is free.

Then someone else will take over in their place.
