  1. Re:DeCSS was handled all wrong on Civil Disobedience and DeCSS · · Score: 1

    And the guys who threw the tea in the harbor should have been hung.

    That's not a 1/2 bad idea (not the hanging part). Anyone who did it would undoubtly get in a load of trouble but it would certainly cause a stir of a bunch of people dumped crates of DVD players into Boston Harbor >:-)

  2. I can see it now... on Slashdot Meets X-Men · · Score: 1

    Posts about a petrified Anna Paquin involving Hot Grits.


    Burning Karma...

    As for the Western world, I assume you are referring to America, as a very large portion of Europe has a much more liberal outlook on sexuality than either the Americans or the Japanese.

    Keep in mind that the US was founded by:
    a) Gun toting puritians and,
    b) Slave owners who wanted to be free.

    The idea of melting the gold actually was a good ending. Digging up the gold would have left more loose ends because if you remember the gold bars were stamped by the banks/countries that owned them. By melting them it erased all traces of previous ownership which would have cause even more discussion regarding the ending.

  5. Re:Ask not for whom the bell tolls... on Copyrant · · Score: 1

    The problem with this argument is in all the above cases the general public weren't using computers. For example the velcro backed Apple IIs were owned by (semi)computer literate people. Today even some people who can operate their PCs to some degree of skill are only somewhat aware that the case actually can be removed. -----------

    Yes. However, the book goes on to say that Yes..it could be a punk with a Linux box. So to verify Randy ('the hacker guy')checks the whois info on eruditorum.org to see when it was registered.

  7. It's either sue or get sued... on Napster, Napster, Napster · · Score: 1

    If Napster didn't sue Offspring then they would be in a position to be sued by their VC firm for not exercising 'due diligence'.

  8. Re:Universities on Oxford Yanks Student Page Over Spoof DeCSS · · Score: 1

    The students don't pay for their access. When you get your account, you sign an agreement saying that you give the university the right to your data, especially if they're getting sued over it.

    As a matter of fact most students pay for their access through fees and tuition. Because of this the students should have some say in what thay can use bandwidth for.
