  5. Consider Canada on Harvard Law's Nesson Says P2P Is "Fair Use" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know there was a case here in Canada where the judge said the P2P was considered fair dealings.

    Placing something in a public place is not distribution as each downloader is making a private copy. Private copies are fair dealings. The judge compared P2P to a Library that had copy machines. The book is in a public place, they provide the machine to make the copy but each person copying something from a book is making a private copy and that's ok under Canadian law.

    This is why the Canadian version of RIAA has been pushing for new copyright law.

  10. Eat This Book on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 1

    Eugene Peterson's Eat This Book has quite a bit to say on translation and why it is part of the Christian way. He also takes the King James Version to task. Worth a read.

  13. Re:I'm glad on Captain America Dead at 66 · · Score: 1

    Most of the wires on my desk do double duty as data & power (key board, mouse, PDA, iPod) so what's the point of getting rid of all the cables just to replace them with charging stations?
