Sorry, no, claiming copyright over a work is copyfraud, and it's technically illegal. And putting your logo on it is rather evidence of fraud than to give you any rights.
There is, in theory. Because falsely stating you own the copyright where you don't is just plain _fraud_. The problem is, the party really having the copyright (NASA in that case) needs to initiate a lawsuit against the fraudster.
I understand that India has a legitimate security need to be able to wiretap communications and so on..
Nope. This is a landgrab. Law enforcement is constantly talking about "going dark", where in fact, the light they have is much brighter than they've ever had before -- technology only made it possible to snoop on everything, and now they want the laws for actually doing so, and to lever out any countermeasures the user may take.
In the 80ies, wiretapping actually meant either a) placing a wiretap in the users phone or b) going physically to the phone switch where the user was connected to, and placing the tap there. Both only done with a judical warrant, and for very specific cases. Wiretapping was _complicated_.
Now, wholesale wiretapping is easy; so easy that a lot of people and companies take countermeasures. And now law enforcement wants "to have back" capabilities it never had?
I actually like the concept, but the implementation is BAD.
For some unknown reason, IMAP hangs, nothing tells me what hangs, it works again when you restart it via Akonadi but then suddenly refuses to access certain IMAP-Folders but not others.
You can't expect to send out people advertising and showing your goods in Riverrun or Dorne, and then let them explain that to buy them you need to go to Kings Landing or wait a year.
This is about real historic sword fighting, and as it looks, he's already got much more experience with it than any SCA types. THAT http://www.thearma.org/ is how sword fighting really works.
And a way to achieve this, at least in the commercial world, would be to abolish patents -- nobody would have an incentive to let the reproductive means of their products escape.
This isn't "conservative" in any way, these beliefs are _modern_ ones, projected into some imaginary past.
Take abortion -- since the middle ages, abortion was allowed by the church until the third or fourth month of the pregnancy. The belief that abortion should not be allowed at all comes up somewhere in the last quarter of the 20th century. It's an entirely modern view.
Yep, just about everything programmed in ANY programming language will suddenly infringe some copyright of the language-inventor. And in some cases, there are even programming languages programmed in other languages, these will infringe too. And don't bother to do assembler, obviously, the processor manufacturer has a copyright on that.
Oh, and I'm not even sure if that doesn't go further down to finally someone having a copyright on mathematics.
Yes, pharmaceuticals are actually the only place where the patent system works as planned: Every new chemical compound is patentable as entirely new. CHOOOH is NOT viewed as "depending" on CHOOH, but as a totally different thing. Which it actually is.
From the internal point of view -- does the patent system work as it is defined by itself -- it works there. In every other field of endeavour, the legal costs (across everyone) are actually higher than the license revenues. This means, patents on everything but chemical compounds are economically worthless waste, a tax from which only lawyers profit.
I don't see anything to justify "software patents" in the first place, and actually, patent law forbids it. Everyones.
Just because some idiot lawyers redefined "software" as not being "math", because they couldn't grasp the math isn't enough reason to not ditch illegally granted patents.
There is nothing to "opt out"; the situation with these illegally granted patent just needs to be resolved.
Well, there's no Pope and a flat earth theory, just as there is no Jesus riding Dinosaurs.
Because the (first) Pope and the flat earth theory are separated by at least 500 years. After Pythagoras (6th century BC), nobody believed in a flat earth any more.
The myth that anyone believed in a flat earth in the middle ages is a lie being propagated in the 19th century. And still is propagated by Hollywood.
You're totally right. It's just about every country on this planet that has the same problem.
However, the US is the biggest international bully, and it exports its laws.
We'd be much better off without drug-prohibition, DMCA-style legislation, and so on, and all these originated somewhere in the USA.
Still, don't confuse this with Anti-Americanism. I'm very well aware that the American people are the first to suffer from all that shit your government does; the rest of the world only gets feed your shit by proxy, you get it directly;)) And it's not like some of our own people don't subscribe to the same fascist ideas; but having the international bully in their backs helps them enormously.
"The U.S. government doesn’t hack its way into Airbus and give Airbus the secrets to Boeing"
That is a good one. Who then told Boeing of the bribes Airbus gave to some middle-eastern officials, so Boeing could match up? I can't find it anymore, but I think it was in the late nineties. And the information about the bribes DID come from US secret services.

... yes, and the worst part of it would be that "publishers" suddenly can claim new rights on public domain content.
This is a declaration of war against the public, public domain and the public good.
For an agency which has no benefit to society at all, and just puts people into prison for violating some prohibition.
The only sensible course would be to abolish prohibition and the DEA with it. I'm sure somebody else could use the 40TB ;)

Drug development costs money, yeah, but why does Pharma inflate R&D costs? Lobbying for the patent system maybe?
http://www.palgrave-journals.com/biosoc/journal/v6/n1/abs/biosoc201040a.html
It's actually 43.4 Mio on average and not 802 Mio.
It's Telephone Companies and not ISPs which do want to limit net neutrality. Different fish.

In other words, unreliable.
We all pay the iron price.

I concur with that.

You're absolutely right.

You're still not thinking big enough. Think C.

If we take a look what patents on pharmaceuticals do elsewhere, the picture looks different:

- http://www.palgrave-journals.com/biosoc/journal/v6/n1/abs/biosoc201040a.html
And finally, to top it all off, there are the shenanigans companies like Monsanto are doing.
So from a macro-economic point of view, these patents are doing damage too.
Correction: It would be 2.6.19. Still; the oldest Kernel we've got running here is 2.6.24.
Yes, if copyright was 5 years right now, Linux 2.6.10 would be public domain. Who in his right mind is still running 2.6.10 now?
Pharmaceuticals: Contrary to what the industry says, a drug does not take 800 million Dollars to develop and test, but only 40 million Dollars.
Yes, I absolutely don't understand what the republicans have against this Obama Bush.
Well, there's of course plenty of reasons to hate him, but these would be the same reasons why you would hate George W. Bush Junior.
New Bush, same as the old Bush.

Even worse, Dihydrogen monoxide is well known to cause violent death if inhaled.

Obama, too polar, you either love him or hate him, sort of the Apple of the political world.
Something I really don't understand is that those people who loved George W. Bush now totally hate this Obama Bush.
