I think the question Redbox is going for here is does First Sale Doctrine apply. Disney can say whatever they want on the box, but if the court says it falls under the First Sale Doctrine then it doesn't matter what Disney thinks.
I'm pretty sure with your first option they would try (at least) to charge you with obstruction of justice. It's not like they're just going to let you walk out after you say you "forgot" your password.
The second would probably net you obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, and probably some other stuff.
Somewhere, somebody (venue/ band / management) pays ASCAP or BMI a license fee for the performance, which in turn a portion of is supposed to go to the underlying copyright holder.
Of course, so far Sony has been too stupid to know whats actually in their own best interests.
People keep saying this, and I find it hard to believe. Sony know's exactly what is in their best interests. They've done a cost / benefit analysis I'm sure, and decided pissing off some people (like us on/.) is worth it in the long run.
Containment unit != containment vessel. That's one of the huge differences between this and Chernobyl. These reactors have the reactor in a containment vessel that is inside a containment building. Chernobyl just had a containment building and no inner containment vessel. Hence when the roof of the Chernobyl reactor blew off, the core was exposed to the environment. Here, the core is still inside the inner containment vessel, which may or may not be damaged.
"It's only censorship when the government does it."
No, it's only illegal censorship when the government does it. Everyone else can do it as well. However, just because it isn't illegal when a private company does it doesn't make it the right thing to do.
Also, even though it says Europe only in the list, this does hold true for NASCAR 09, since there won't be a new version of that game. Polyphony Digital has the NASCAR license now, and it's supposed to show up in Gran Turismo 5, if that ever sees the light of day.
I can confirm this is true. They pushed a Bing icon to my Storm that propmted me to download the Bing Mobile app, but Google is still my default search in the BlackBerry browser.
No, but they can do something far worse to you if they think you're card counting: require you to flat-bet. That eliminates everything you would potentially gain from card counting.
I'm okay with that, as long as they get rid of everyone else on cable news too, especially Nancy Grace and Keith Olbermann (Note: In Olbermann's case, they can allow him to do only sports. I could live with that)
He "accidentally" clipped one of the cable-car lines...
Are you implying that he intentionally clipped the cable car line? Yeah, the guy was a show-boating idiot, but I doubt he purposefully brought the cable car down.
Major League Baseball's version of this (Note this is from the guideline to get MLB credentials, so these are the protections you get IF the give you a media badge) :
The use of any account, description, picture, photograph, video, audio, reproduction, or other information concerning the Games (the "Game Information") other than for news coverage of, or magazines, books or stories about, the Games, or for First Amendment-protected purposes, is prohibited, except (a) with the prior written consent of the Baseball Office of the Commissioner or (b) as specifically licensed by Paragraph 7 below. Nothing in these terms and conditions authorizes or allows Bearer to violate the MLB Entities' trademark, copyright and other proprietary rights.
3. While a Game is in progress, Bearer shall not transmit or aid in transmitting any Game Information on a play-by-play or pitch -by-pitch basis, more frequently than once every half-inning of play (except to report on the occasional and significant historic event), or such other longer period as Bearer has agreed to refrain from such transmission except (a) this limitation shall not apply to internal transmissions between the Bearer attending the Game and such Bearer's employer, or (b) with the prior written consent of the Baseball Office of the Commissioner.
4. While a Game is in progress, Bearer shall not transmit, display, aid in transmitting or displaying any video, audio, pictures, photographs or other non -text based accounts or descriptions of Games ("Non-Text Accounts") that Bearer obtains at that Game in any media, except (a) this limitation shall not apply to internal transmissions between the Bearer attending the Games and such Bearer's employer, or (b) with the prior written consent of the Baseball Office of the Commissioner. The foregoing limitation shall not preclude the on-line transmission or display of up to seven still pictures or photographs of any Game during its progress; provided, however, that under no circumstances may Bearer display any more than seven still pictures or photographs of any Game during its progress regardless of whether Bearer obtained such pictures or photographs at the Game.

Yeah citation needed there buddy.

Obviously, IANAL.

Wish I had mod points here. A local Fox affiliate's news team and Fox News are definitely not the same thing.

Madden 09 came out in 2008. Madden 2010 came out prior to the start of the current NFL season. Madden 2011 will (presumably) come out later this year.
Lawyers.
Keith Olbermann...
I like him as a sports guy though.
Yeah, the Bing icon showing up on its own did kind of piss me off too. That I had a problem with.
I can confirm this is true. They pushed a Bing icon to my Storm that propmted me to download the Bing Mobile app, but Google is still my default search in the BlackBerry browser.

"Time Enough At Last" - Burgess Meredith's best Twilight Zone performance. He was also awesome in "Printer's Devil"

Excuse me, he wasn't convicted of armed robbery, just gun possession.
Lionel Tate is innocent... You do realize he violated his parole and was then convicted of armed robbery after his "murder" conviction, right?
