*IF* the artist explicitly grants permission (aka Phish) to record the work then there's no problem. But works and performances are copy protected by default.
I also used "their" instead of "they're" and bad sentence structure, (because they're illegit recordings, the very nature of these recordings is outlawed) but that's what you get when you post after just waking up with a hangover...
And thank you for giving me a chance to correct myself!
I'm all for restrictions on copyright terms to reasonable limits... But when you consider that it's illegal to record live performances ANYWAY there's no copyright on those recordings to begin with (because their illegit recordings the very nature of those recordings are outlawed) If the band makes a recording of that performance then normal copyright (and the usual limitations) apply.
So if it's illegal to make those recordings, then it's illegal to sale those recordings and it doesn't make sense for the judge to rule that those illegally made recordings should someday become legal because the copyright term has passed.
On the FLIP side however, if this ruling stands and it'll eventually become legal to sell bootleg copies... then it should be LEGAL to make bootlegs to begin with... because it's infringing on my right to someday sell those recordings!
The RNC's choice, Jack Ryan, who was winning in the polls and looked like a shoo-in candidate, took himself out of the race when the Democrats demanded that a US court reveal, and the US court AGREED to, his sealed divorce records which showed that he liked going to swingers clubs.
Then, right after that, it was "Obama, Obama, Obama" who had been running there all along but had no chance of winning. No RNC member wanted to run after that dirty tricks campaign until Keyes stepped in. At which point it was better him than nobody.
This article has nothing to do with "executive power".
The President has the power to write "Executive Orders". These were meant to be used as quick action rules to act on certain situations before congress and the Senate could debate and decide on a proper strategy (because committees are slow).
Congress has been trying to restrict those abilities and THAT'S what Bush is defending.
WAR POWERS (which W is NOT talking about in his quote) are a still hotly debated topic. Executive Orders can be used to facilitate combat (as has been done with Iraq) but the President has combat powers above and beyond the Executive Orders so restricting those doesn't necessarily stop the other.
Bush is not the first to have done this. Clinton did it with Bosnia, Bush Sr. did it with Panama, Reagan did it with Grenada, etc;
The whole power structure of wars, waging wars, military action, etc is still a hotly debated topic in congress and this article does no justice in bringing out the real issues.
The article doesn't say, but I thought the Diebold Access databases were, at the very least, password protected?
Even so, I'm not quite sure what they expect any voting machine company to do. Let's say they use Linux and a custom and encrypted database format. All you have to do is have somebody reverse engineer the format, get root access to the Linux box and then run a custom script to update the values.
If it's an open source solution, this is worse because... everybody will know what that format is.
I'm not supporting Diebold here, but I don't see any solution here that can't be hacked in someway. (just increasing levels of difficulty of doing so... and if Diebold didn't even bother to password protect their Access databases, well they deserve what's coming...)
(And sure, a paper receipt will correct THAT problem, but then why need a computer? Why not just go back to pencil and scantron and a display of your vote to you after its scanned?)

(I leave my PC on 24/7 and only discovered this when I would return home and my PC was magically back at a fresh reboot state. For a while I thought I had a hardware problem because if Windows had crashed I would've seen a blue screen halt, right?)
While I get fewer blue screens then I did with 98, I get MORE blue screens than I did with Windows 2k.
Sept. 11 - President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to senior officials with access to the intelligence.
While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons stockpiles.
The German government agreed to payout billions of dollars in compensation in lieu of going through the courts and the US Government was negotiating on behalf of the NY attornies who were bringing the case. When the settlement was reached, the ATTORNIES agreed to drop the charges and the courts where the cases were being setup AGREED to the drop.
The legislative and executive branches don't have the authority to order a case stopped.
If they wanna piss each other off (as married couples are want to do sometimes...) they can do it through their work and get everybody involved in their sniping contest...
how NetFlix was going to be allowed to basically do P2P distribution of movies... even if it was completely secure and paid for. The Publishing houses (Disney, Paramount, Choam, Fox) go to great lengths to control their content viability. Especially Disney which cycles content in and out of the market to keep demand as high as possible. A download library like Netflix would take alot of that power to create market-hype out of the hands of the publishers. (Though I still think it's a cool idea and properly setup could work around those concerns...)
My friends don't have cable, so I Tivo a run of stuff like Bear and the Big Blue house and dump it to tape for their 1 year old kid. One tape is good for about a month. That's about how long mommy and daddy can handle seeing the same episode about 50 times before they scream at me for new stuff. I think there's probably an underground market for it... "Yo my man... I can score you some Bob the Builder! It's FRESH!"
I've got a Tivo with 120 hours on it. I can't KEEP UP with it. Half the stuff "spills off" for having too many copies (I stick with the default 5 episodes max for most things) or the suggestions just time out.
Granted, it's nice to be able to thumb through that much content when I don't feel like my normal stuff, but 700 hours worth!? (Yeah, there's always archival and keeping your DVD library on the hard drive is convenient but... c'mon... how hard is it to pull the DVD out of the case and put it into the drive?)
The rules were changed to allow invalid ballots. The very thing that the Democrat controlled Florida Supreme Court ALLOWED and two Federal Courts ruled against (you can't change the rules for ballot counting AFTER the fact). Gore NEVER WON the recount on "valid" ballots, even after several recounts of the paper ballots. Even the the much ballyhooed newspaper investigation came to the same conclusion.

Unless you're granted permission by the artist doing the performing the work is legally protected by default.

Atomic Activity in North Korea Raises Concerns
Sept. 11 - President Bush and his top advisers have received intelligence reports in recent days describing a confusing series of actions by North Korea that some experts believe could indicate the country is preparing to conduct its first test explosion of a nuclear weapon, according to senior officials with access to the intelligence.
While the indications were viewed as serious enough to warrant a warning to the White House, American intelligence agencies appear divided about the significance of the new North Korean actions, much as they were about the evidence concerning Iraq's alleged weapons stockpiles.
Pakistan and India have already done this, Iran will probably be following shortly.
I'm suprised China isn't pissed off, what with this thing going off right near their border. Oops, wind shifted north, sorry guys...
The German government agreed to payout billions of dollars in compensation in lieu of going through the courts and the US Government was negotiating on behalf of the NY attornies who were bringing the case. When the settlement was reached, the ATTORNIES agreed to drop the charges and the courts where the cases were being setup AGREED to the drop.
The legislative and executive branches don't have the authority to order a case stopped.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!"
Public pressure yeah... but the Supreme Court itself determines what cases it sees. No government body has the power to dictate the court docket.
(Or were you being facetious? I can't tell I'm having trouble with my sarcasm meter on this board...)
If they wanna piss each other off (as married couples are want to do sometimes...) they can do it through their work and get everybody involved in their sniping contest...
hmmm... wait a second...
I don't see why anybody else can't cross political lines for love...
(This is politics?)
The 7 days guy went back in time do to this?
No wait... that can't be right... that'd be longer than 7 days...
Unless he went back 7 days multiple times to age the forgeries!!
I think I've broken my Occams(tm) Razor.
