But it's all about remixes. I've seen veraious version of A Christmas Carol, several films based on greek legends, a couple of adaptations of Snow White. All of these are copyrighted but based quite firmly on public domain works.
Ah, but the Queen is technically above the law. If they try to sue, then she can just declare herself immune from the law.
Normally such irresponsible behaviour would cause a constitutional crisis, and probably require imediate abdication or abolision of the monarchy, but if it was against the record industry, I think a lot of people would see her point.
It depends on the extent. The SS has to investigate potential threats. What if these guys did decide to kill Clinton. The SS had no way of telling wihtout doing at least a little research. They'd look completely incompetent if they missed somethign that obvious.
Some of us believe that there are such things as basic human rights that all people are entitled to, and that governments should not be allowed to take away from people.
Freedom of speech is one of these rights.

One thing that does annoy me is the short season. 13 episodes hardly feels like enough.
I dunno. When I was at school, if I wanted a copy of something, whether a game or a tape (Note for you youngsters - Music used to be stored on magnetic tape in small cassettes), I'd borrow it from my friend and make a copy myself. Seems this DRM isn't going to do a lot to prevent this. It will just allow each frind who borrows it to make 3 copieseach.
Any idea how intel decide what is an isn't a new revision. Surely there are more advances between the PPro and the Pentium-M than there are between the Pentium and the PPro.
I will be informal, but never obscene. You will occasionally see comments like "Sorry fellas, but [explanation as to why I was forced to do it the way I did]" or maybe make a reference to a well known joke occasionally ("the wonderful thing about standards is there are so many to choose from"), and nobody cares about these. I think it would be considered unprofessional and really a little childish to add expletives.
Universal own the rights to Firefly, but Fox still own the rights to the TV show. Both have agreed, that there aren't going to be any more episodes. For them to change thir minds, you'll have to get by corporate big headedness and get two major networks to actually cooperate over something that's valuable. For bizarre illogical reasons, this sort of thing never happens.
Okay. In meatspace, we have self defence - fighting an attacker until he is no longer a threat, and striking back - fighting an attacker, incapacitating him, hitting him some more, finding a blunbt object and beating him to death.
Clearly there's a difference.
So, what are the moral equivalents on the internet? If you try to take down slashdot, the slashdot admin could detect this and block your IP from doing this. If this is possible, then that should be the limit to what they are entitled to do. Perhaps it isn't. Would it be reasonable to exploit a glitch on their machine that causes them to disconnect? Not for revenge - just for self defence.
I just wonder how aften these strikeback or countermeasures backfire. I remember reading a story awhile back where a gambling site repulsed a DDos attack. The really interesting thing was that it cost the company way more to fight the attack than it would have cost to pay off the extortionist.
But what about long term costs? If you pay them off, then someone else will threaten, or possibly they will blackmail again. If you batten down the hatches, and weather the storm, eventually they'll reallocate their resources to a more profitable target (and a trojaned PC is still a resource in limited supply).
Not sure if this works the other way. Whether the criminals will repeat their demands and threats for largely the same reason. It seems they'd be most likely to go for the easier targets.

Or alternatively
The mathemetician sees that the fire has been extinguished. He sets the hotel alight therefore reducing it to a previously solved problem.
And that is Mornington Crescent.
My favourite variant is 3 dice. Player chooses any two.
Allow landlords to haggle over which two dice the player chooses ("if you land on my hotel I'll only charge you $100")
Hasbro have released a new version of monopoly. Complete with corporate sponsorship (unless the Murdoch press is actually an essential utility)

Purple is for major stadia. Oval, wembley and wimbledon.
It was so much better for geeks in the 1980's.
these days all the jobs are being outsourced.
And so is the crime fighting.
"Substantial non-infringing use". I can think of a lot of uses that do not consist of running pirated software.
Dammit! I was IRCing with an imposter!

She pirates. She's a regular on warez sites and IRC.

Short!? Most BBC shows last for 6 episodes.

Many people may be bad at adding comments, but everyone is even worse at removing them.

but if you're not in England, you wont be able to see it... legally.
Sure you will. As long as you're in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, or the Netherlands.
Apparently not.

Perhaps it would have been a nice idea to explain.
Apparently the name was suggested without realising the pun. Those that saw the pun liked it, so the name stuck.
