No it does not. They specifically ask people not to distribute the soundboard recordings they release on livephish.com. You can *now* however offer audience recorded files of the same shows that they release, thanks to a change in the aforementioned taping policy.
The other major restriction of the Phish taping policy is once they release an album of a concert, that concert cannot be distributed online. I would imagine this service will not qualify as an "album."
That restriction has been officially lifted with the opening of this service. Enjoy!:)
"As such, there is no real creative "composition" that can be copywrited"
Tell that to the guy that had to go to court and give up a six figure settlement because Cage's estate sued for copyright infringement... for making his own version of that 'song'
think monthly fees, as opposed to per-rental fees. Netflix is an example of a rental company that doesn't rely on late fees. I could see this model possibly working even better for Blockbuster than Netflix, since Blockbuster could charge around the same price as Netflix, but gets to skip all the charges associated with shipping to and from the customer. It could even be better for the customer, since if you watch the 3 movies you are allowed to have out at a time in one day, you could just go back to Blockbuster and get 3 more that same day, rather than having to wait around for Netflix and the USPS to get your movies there and back. This would greatly add to the number of titles you could realistically rent in a month on an 'unlimited' plan.
Having said all that, I honestly have no clue as to whether or not Netflix is making a profit. I know they are a fairly small operation, so they may not be bleeding cash from every orifice.
I bought this add-on just for the version of DooM you could get with it. I already had DooM for my computer, but it was so popular with my friends that they ended up getting more playing time than me it seemed like. At the time I was the only person i knew face to face with a computer, so I got the 32x so my friends could play DooM on the sega while I played on the Mac. Eventually (with the help of the 32x and DooM) I was able to convince most of my friends to get computers so we could play together.
Yes, I love the 32X and hold it in a sacred place in my memory, simply because it was the catalyst for turning my friends onto computing.
remembering to reset it back to the browser you prefer when you update it is the only cure I have found so far. I haven't checked into whether or not you could make an applescript to make this change for you.
I think the problem is that when you update the non-ie browser, the system loses track of it, and resets the default to ie. This happens to me everytime i update omniweb, and yes it is very annoying
the iApps don't use private APIs that other developers don't have access too though. The parent of your reply was talking competition with 'skinning' programs for the OS, not external apps. No one is competing with Apple for their interface. No matter what UI tweaks you install, you still have to have the Aqua that Apple gave you to start with. It is a prerequisite, not a competitor.
Yes, you are correct. After further reading on my part, it would seem the retroactive part is plainly unconstitutional. Striking down one part of the act will not affect the rest of it unfortunately. As far as whether the irony is relevant or not, I'm not sure I would agree with you. I am hoping that possibly the fact that Disney pushed this will help to point out the fact that this greatly harms the ability to create new works from old material. Time will tell I guess.
also remember that the copyright clock doesn't start counting down until the originator of the work is dead. Copyright law was meant to encourage new works by authors etc. When was the last time Robert Frost whipped out his pen and scribbled out a new poem for us all to enjoy?
Can't the courts decide if a law follows the spirit of the constitution, so to speak? Yes, constitutionally Congress has the right to pass things like the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act... but do you think preserving the copyright for a cartoon mouse created by a man who is long since dead is what our founding fathers had in mind? Copyright laws were created both to give the author/artist incentive to create new works *and* to ensure at some point new works could be created based on older stuff.
This is exactly how disney became so popular, by using the work of authors that had gone into the public domain! Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid are just a few examples of older works that Disney has used.
Now Disney, and other huge corporations like Sony etc. are trying to make sure that no one else can do what they have done. This, to me at least (I am not a Supreme Court Justice) goes against the spirit of the constitution. From the SFGate Story:The original decision made more than 200 years ago to limit the length of copyrights was deliberate and carefully considered. The goal, which was expressed at the time in letters written by Thomas Jefferson and others, was to allow newcomers to build on and improve works produced by others, but only after the original creators of those works were compensated fairly for their efforts. The reason: Human progress builds upon itself."
These companies are trying to stop progress, and trying to stop other from doing to them what they did to the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Victor Hugo.

Is "Mr. Show" really worth $120 for a single viewing?
Yes.

I myself thought they looked pretty ugly back when they were released. The switch to graphite coloring and then the whites was a good thing methinks.
Cool link. Thank you.
You are a consumer whore!
Thank you! mod this fella up plz

Buying a WiFi card and installing drivers is a hack? mmmmmk.
May i suggest Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2003: The Travel Skills Handbook for Independent Travelers His guide books have tons of interesting info on Europe that most people would never think about.
Ask google how to rewire your phone lines with nice fresh shiny new wire. You wont be disappointed.
if the philosophy didnt matter, then why advertise it?
Im sorry, but due to slashdot rules, you cannot pick apart an argument in less than 20 seconds!
use a camera attached to the shuttle to look down and make sure no one is peeping in the windows of your house!
