Without having seen the movie, its difficulyt to say. But due to the evolving nature of the how the theme is spreading and other factors, it's less likely for there to be legal action against fans showing respect then for a bootlegger.
With Free Software we get the foundation for the next step.
How about the determination to make programming something most anyone can do, in their spare time and without all the required resources of knowledge and experience that is so much required today?
Programming is the act of automating complexity (made up of simpler automations) in order to make its use and reuse easy for the user.
It won't be long before someone makes it available on CD/VCD/DVD at costs, for those like me who simply don't have a fast enough connection.
There are other sites out there that have every thing from gatherings to RL RPG but one I'm on, that has been around since the beginning, with some of it's members even making it on Matrix Revisited, is Matrixcommunuity
I am impressed with things fans have done, including writing full scripts of their own.
And as the matrix is, there is plenty of room, for everyones story.
"The algorithms are simple enough so most implementers can understand them, and they are complicated enough so most people who can't understand them will want somebody else to figure it out for them. It has this nice property of being both elegant and relevant."
Or what happens when the concept of taking complexity (made up of simpler things) and automating it such that it is easy to use and reuse, by the user, is applied here?
But the fact remains that as the old hat of the record industry is, it subsidizes the failures with profits from teh successes where the internet in file swapping can be used to help a new band establish their worth to machinery of the record industry that is still actually useful to the promotion of a band or artist.
This is no good for the artists.

As a fair counter balance it means the public in general must now be informed about this third user interface (shell and GUI are the first two) and provided easy and sensible usable access to it as well as being able to open or close such ports as IPC uses.
There is no one way of doing things, but many ways in which some ways are better than others dependant upon what one is doing. And it is by having many different ways of doing things that different things are discovered or innovated.
So of course P2P is here to stay, but the RIAA, that' a different story, one of the old fighting to not move out of the way of then new and innovative.
....most certainly and without doubt..... give spammers less reason to spam as most would not be any more interested in getting a license to go online than getting a license to use the telephone or read a newspaper or magizine or listen to the radio...
Going Online is becomming a basic and common media form of communication.
Perhaps we should just pursue nullifying the constitution of the US and any other countries support for freedom of speech by requiring all the peoples of the world to have a license to communicate in any way, shape or form.
Something along the lines of an international communicators license, for the internet is international.
Or perhaps this article is a test to see just how stupid people can be to even consider such foolishness as a license to go online.
It really is quite simple. Sure they wanted to lose and is why they didn't present any prior art worth considering.
The Patent is actually illegal once put up against what is not patentable.

Annual B.S. Award... like the vaporware award.
If anyone wants to start it up, I nominate Bush for first place, Blair for second place and MS for third (credit goes for teaching Bush how to control the media and claim everyone supports him, by telling everyone that.....)
Of course I nominate SCO for fourth place. For certainly trhey make the top 5 list.
Since they are getting into levels of disconnection, then why don't they go after Windows since most of the users they are after are probably using Windows to do it...
I just checked out the Kazaa site and the software they have only runs on windows.....
"Crazy. But just in case anyone tries to DO this... consider this post to be my prior art evidence, and prepare to pay royalties. Because this could be a powerful and profitable concept."
Can't make up your mind as to whether or not you did it first?
Prior art is very very plentiful... I suspect even the application of the concept of a "Smart Terminal" might as well qualify as prior art...
Search for and read my other post in this thread, for more.
Isn't this really nothing more than some elaborate and over invented password that required a battery to work?
You know what, there is this project to clone the Amiga3.1 OS into Open Source and Freely Available OS. It's a very small and efficient OS that doesn't have all the multi-user over head (AROS on sourceforge) and here is an Idea better than this Personal Server battery powered password..
Put the OS on a ram drive strip or other such memeory device that is small and portable, your choice (USB) that provides connection to any system.
Set your personal OS up as you see fit and take it with you on your keychain or Business card CD...
Since this Personal Server IBM is doing needs the hardware of devices having human I/O.... Well so does the ram stick or such...... But these other don't need a battery.
Ok Plug your personal OS into any system and AROS runs either hosted or native, but Hosted in any event you have access to whatever... using the network connectivity of the system you plugged into.
If the Hurd ever gets done enough to have a public release, it'll be interesting as to how well AROS (via the ol'amiga arexx port concept(IPC)) can tap into the resources of the all of Gnu...
Besides all the comments that say it won't happen there is the possibility that some interesting things might come of such a project.
They are allowed to do such a thing, or at least try.
It is possible that they start from scratch but can avoid all the hard lessons learned by others. And they don't seem to have political constraints to deal with as TinyOS did.
The Japanese are well known for their technical abilities and expertise and long term perspectives. China is known for their numbers of people that can follow direction. And South Korea is known for their ability to imitate product look and feel.
Is it possible that such mindsets can produce a rock solid OS that is easy to use and safe from attack?
Probably! So lets how they are open source, so we all can learn from them.
The only way to undermine the direction of software patents (worldwide even) is to , to use an analogy. The Roman Numeral system was outdated and proven to be weak in power compaired to the Hindu-Arabic Decimal system. In essence it proved beyond doubt that the Roman Numeral system was greatly lacking the value of nothing as a place holder. It showed fault in the Roman Numeral system use in mathmatics.
In the same way, the software patent issue is like the Roman Numeral system in not showing a more complete and full scope picture of reality.
Most software patents are in fact in violation of even the three primary things you cannot patent, natural law, physical phenomenon and abstract ideas, and further violate the case of mathmatical algorythims not supposed to be being patentable, amoung other "cannot patent" facets.
What is lacking is genuine and validateable software engineering foundation upon which software can be tested against to see if it might qualify for patentability.
In other words, the skill of babeling abstractions from an industry focused on such skill has dumbfounded those outside of that industry, including offices of Intellectual property grants.
What is needed to undo this problems growing in wrongful IP rights is to establish the genuine science of the physics of abstraction creation and usage.
Or in the analogy of Roman Numeral vs. Decimal System, the Natural laws of the Physical Phenomenon of creating and using abstract ideas from "nothing" is a simply not a patentable process in a patent system that fully recognizes the physics of abstraction. Which the current IP granting system and psuedo science does not recognize. Once such genuine software science has recognized this "zero" of abstraction physics then a great deal becomes so undeniably easy and obvious (like what the decimal system did for mathmatics) that a great deal more of the "not patentable" factor comes undeniably into view for even the typical user/consumer.
Or perhaps you would rather only the professional experts be allowed use of teh decimal system of mathmatics and calculations.....?????

ie a quote from an MS empolyee exposing the user entrapment of programming...
What better way to insure Free Software, but to make it much much easier to produce?
General automation tools where dynamic automations can be created, even to produce code, compile it, and run it... all in an automated manner.
Holodeck style programming...
You think RMS has been up agains Resistance?

You tell the public to give up it's fight against such taxation, CAUSE ITS GONNA HAPPEN ANYWAY!!!
It also potentially brings it up as possibly a major news media topic....
And the prior art example for use to use is This action against the UK.....

I just checked out the Kazaa site and the software they have only runs on windows.....
That was politically suppressed by the US?
I believe it was invented or created by some Japanese, is open source and has instead become like a world wide OS used in embedded devices..
Can't think of the name of it... tinyOS or something like that - I did a search on TinyOS but somehow couldn'tr find it's origins or history....
Anyway, the point is..... if governments weren't manipulating such things, perhaps there wouldn't be a Microsoft as we know it today...
