That..... and he lives in California, which Amazon is in dispute with. They suspended all affiliates in that state, so the guy's "business" has not made any money in 9 months. I can understand why he has no motivation to restore a website from which he gets no income.
Then the hosting company can be sued. They are not supposed to remove material (or suspend accounts) unless they FIRST receive a DMCA-compliant takedown request. Plus give the owner a chance to respond to the request. That is the current federal law and the ISP violated it.
Also I doubt there was a single lawyer involved; just a bunch of angry authors sending nasty messages. Those have ZERO legal standing, unless they were specifically formatted as a DMCA takedown notice.
No. Here's the person who organized the protest and resulting letter-spam. She's a Christian. No surprise there; those types are always quick to judge and execute punishment w/o bothering to do any research.
Even though the Bible specifically says, "Thou shalt not judge." Christians hate that commandment from Jesus & just try to pretend it doesn't exist while they create godhatesfags websites and attack women trying to get abortions (or worse, set fire to the clinic).
Here's a perfect example. I would not accept this bitch's apology if it were me. She probably saw the site and 30 seconds later was sending a takedown notice w/o ever bothering to do any research. And she ruijhne d an's website because of ti. I hate bitches (and bastards) like her....... mshe should be fined $1000 for filing a false DMCA request

According to the DMCA process, the hosting company must take-down "claimed" infringing content. Then the victim has the right to respond and say "This does not infringe copyright. We are following the lending rules laid-down by Amazon, B&N, and the Authors Guild. This ie perfectly legal."
The next step under DMCA is for the complaining authors to sue the web owners/users. Of course I doubt that they will. The authors have better things to do then spend money they don't have fighting a court case they know they will lose.
Hi yes. I received this email that you are complaining because I (and others) are loaning out books with our Kindles and Nooks. This is perfectly legal under the terms of Amazon and Barnes & Noble's contracts with the Authors' Guild.
"I don't care. I will porsecute you and rape you for all your money!!!!" - typical author at the door
Oh okay. (BAM). From time to time the Tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants (and any others who would seek to limit freedom within these united States). So that's one tyrant down. Who's next?
Not RIAA. Universal Records. They were the ones who demanded youtube remove Megaupload's ad/music video (and also Tech News Daily which included a 15-second clip of the ad). They were the ones who became upset when a judge ruled, "You can't claim ownership of somebody else's ad, or the artists that participated." They were probably the ones who called the Obama White House and demanded action, so the White House ordered the raids in foreign countries.
Welcome to facism (aka "corporatism" according to Benito Mussolini). The government ignores the law, ignores the court orders, and just does whatever it takes to keep its corporate friends happy.

You don't have to be a monopoly to be prosecuted. Microsoft certainly wasn't a monopoly on the desktop when it was prosecuted. Or Standard Oil when it was prosecuted. You only have to have a large enough share of a certain market that your presence is "anti-competitive" and blocks other companies from succeeding. Apple certainly fits that description in the cellphone & tablet markets.
Everybody I see is either texting or surfing the web and rarely speaking. This "phones cause brain cancer" concern eliminated itself due to a change in user behavior.
Since the temperature isn't any hotter than it was in 1936, I'm not seeing any evidence that temps are climbing. The global alarmists said (in 2001) that we would soon never see snow. They people wouldn't be able to go outside. And yet July 2012 was not really any higher than July 1936 when my great-grandparents were alive. So what gives???
This July's record heat is only 0.2 degrees higher then the previous record. Let's not blow things out of proportion. (Unless you think the record set in the 1930s is indicative of global warming too?)
Or just buy cable. In my travels through Canada I noticed all the cable systems pick-up and rebroadcast ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW stations from Maine, New York, Michigan, North Dakota, and Washington states. (Good thing too since I couldn't find any Canadian shows worth watching... except Red Green.)
If you're going to steal BBC Video (since you never paid the TV tax), then you might as well do it the easy method and just do a torrent download.
To be honest though I've not really found much on BBC I wanted to watch. "Doctor Who" and "BBC News" is the only thing that comes to mind and both of those I can get legally (via Syfy or PBS). Plus there are other alternatives like France24, NNK-japan, and RT which come free through my antenna.
>>>leaving out Wyoming because of the supervolcano
If the supervolcano went off, the only states that would still be livable are the three Pacific ones. People living in Utah or Colorado or Arizona might survive the initial blow, but will die of ash inhalation a few days later. Same with everyone east of the supervolcano. ----- Even without the volcano I wouldn't say Utah Colorado Arizona are safe. Utah, Arizona often get hit with droughts. Colorado has huge snowstorms that leave people trapped in their homes.
Virginia & Carolina have cheap coal power. New York has cool summers to reduce air conditioning costs.
What does this Bush-bashing have to do with anything? I don't see what point you're trying to make. And just to bring balance: There's flooding in the Northern midwest states right now and Obama's FEMA still hasn't done squat. (In fact he denied the governors' requests for emergency aid.) GOP or DNC; they both suck.
My state didn't need permission. Of course they were careful to only install the broadband where Comcast did not already exist, so there was no legal fight. Anyway the POINT is that a State Government does not need permission from the Congress. They can do their own internal improvements. (The UK on the other hand does need permission from the central EU bureaucrats.... which is why they are currently waiting instead of rolling-out the broadband.)

If we did a search & replace of "windows" with "blacks" we could call your post positively racist. Good! Job! Way to stereotype the world around you like a KKK idiot.
>>>To use windows as an example, it will try and cache what it thinks you're going to load based on I think a fairly simple algorithm.
In that case I would turn off the HDD caching. We didn't have it prior to circa 1995, or in the modern day Puppy GNU/linux, and it worked/works just fine. I'd run everything out of the 32 gigs of RAM.

I'd rather spend my money on RAM. Up the system memory from 8 GB to 32GB, and you eliminate the slowdown caused by hard drive accesses.
