It was also a time where you didn't have to worry about someone copying 'Hamlet' and passing it off as his own work.
Considering there's controversy over whether or not Shakespeare wrote those plays or if it was someone else that was the real author(Bacon, IIRC), things haven't changed.
Perpetual copyright is bad, agreed. But it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic at hand
If Rockstar exists, and doesn't want people to port GTA III to the new platforms since it will interfere with the sales of GTA XXII and the PS VII won't run GTA III, yes, it does have to do with the topic at hand.
Another driver can detect that driver. Look at the chains of device objects, do its own direct IO to look for hidden file. If the hardware itself is lying because the chip is virtualized, all bets are off.
1) Automatic update is on by default 2) Everything is closed by default 3) Not as important with (2) true 4) This is the big one you'll never get around. People are stupid
Implication from TFA is that there may have been confiscation
I wrote back, politely explaining the principles of copyleft - that the software was free, both as in speech and as in price, and that people copying and redistributing it was a feature, not a bug. I said that selling verbatim copies of Firefox on physical media was absolutely fine with us, and we would like her to return any confiscated CDs and allow us to continue with our plan for world domination (or words to that effect).
That's less than 3/4 of a cable bill 20% cheaper than broadband Half the cost of our (family) phone service Less than half the price of my health plan Cheaper than a drink at starbucks (they have stuff less than $2?)
It's also cheaper than a night out a week at the movies
Unless Disney is first against the wall when the revolution comes, along with Sirius Cybernetics, I could live as long as Methuselah and won't see stuff leave copyright.
And most of these DRM solutions do not have expirations coded in.
It just needs to average out. Anyone I know that would buy a launch console would have trouble limiting themselves to a game every other week, never mind every other month.

Oh yeah, what possible header could include those updates?
How about
#include <string> ? Radical, I know, but you have to put strings that contain their length and can contain nul somewhere!
vice versa happened a couple of weeks ago.

And a new computer to support it, at least according to him.

They can also do things along the lines of MA. Mandate an open standard for all software, or other regulation that's going to cause MS pain.
First off I don't think the government (at least those in the UK and the US) have the power to legally force them into doing it
Nice government contract you have there. Shame if anything were to happen to it.
A) Correct, but not by much
B) Arguably incorrect. (2/3 are over 18. Average age is 29. There are more women gamers over 18 than males under 18)
Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray incorporate managed copy, which lets you copy your movies to your harddrive
So I can copy it on my Linux box, and play it there?
Step 7 - delete step 6 after realizing steps 1-5 work on the Mac.
Beyond that, the only annoying things to me were a couple timed obstacle courses and an underwater race against a spike-encrusted wall
Wow, you don't classify those turning spiked columns in the "annoying" bit? Those are what I hated the most.
Why does someone need to win? Considering the DRM crap in each, I'd prefer both to lose.
1) Burn to audio CD
2) Rip
3) ???
4) Profit
Too fast? The prior art is a frigging DECADE ago. How is that too fast?
It'd be hard, since every OS out there has encryption.
Better integration with the keychain and mail, as well as a native appearance. Me, I use Firefox.
There's also Camino if you want something that looks native. It's gecko based, but doesn't have the extendibility.
What part of the country are you from?

$2300 / 1825 = $1.26 / day

creators a limited but exclusive right
Limited? Where? Stuff created before I was born will still be protected after I die. That's not limited.
The article is a little more useful than that, even though what he said is self evident now.
Scoring more points is a good way to win the Superbowl. Scoring more points is a crappy way to win the Masters.
It just needs to average out. Anyone I know that would buy a launch console would have trouble limiting themselves to a game every other week, never mind every other month.
And except for the rare hardcore gamer, how many people buy 30 games for a machine in one generation ?
Let's see...
Current gen lasted 5 years, that's 6 games per year, or a on average, a game every other month. How is that "hardcore"?
