Got anything to back that up? Can't recall the last time I ran across a a survey of professional art thieves' motivations. I'd assume it'd be more useful for blackmailing an insurance company.
I mean, seriously, outside of movies, how often do you think billionaires hire thieves to steal artwork?
Exactly! With viruses rampant as they are, why would users machines have full access to all the ports on the servers. Thats what internal firewalls and vlans are for.
I would bet (I didn't rtfa yet) its an issues of IT funding. The infrastructure for vlans, internal firewalls, and the appropriate access controls cost money and takes staff to manage.
Plenty of don't have that option. When management says "no, of course users should be able to install software on the machines they use," the IT shop has a bit more of an added challenge.
Work-for-hire isn't the same thing as just being hired to do something. Its a technical term for a specific contractual situation. The way normal hiring situations work, you hire me to take pictures some pictures, I take some pictures, I give you a proof sheet, you tell me which pictures you like, I sell you copies of those pictures. Nowhere in there do I (the photographer) lose exclusive copyright of those pictures, unless its specifically part of (a the payment to get me there or b) with transfer of the individual pictures you bought.
Interesting. Your comments caused me to double check the logistics of how a copyright is actually enabled. Basically, you don't do anything. You need to register things with the government en order to sue for damages, but you can do that anytime up until the copyright expires (Life+70).
Trademarks you have to continually enforce; copyrights you don't have to do a thing other than have created it. The © symbol is not necessary, its more of a reminder. ---- Comments by squigit, © 2004
You never lose title to something after is been lost. I can lose a diamond now, and if I can proved 70 years from now its mine, its still my diamond, and whomever has it has to give it back to me.
To the first part, yup. I don't need to actually do anything for me to have copyright over things I create. Registering with the government helps, but thats just 1) makes lawsuits go more smoothly and 2) is used to help determine when something was created, when there's a conflict between more than one possible creator.
And no, its not theft unless s/he refuses to return a found item, which it doesn't sound like is the case.
Because in civil matters, you can only sue for money. You have to have criminal. You can seek an injunction as part of the proceedings, and a cease and desists orders can exist as part of the judgment, but in civil law, you can only sue for compensation.
"Mental anguish" is one of the most often sued for things, and one of the least frequently one. Its hard to proved your were "anguished" to the point of needing damages.
IANAL, but my law classes say this is correct. You have copyright over everything you create, unless its covered by some else first (ie, if I happen to make the exact thing as you, even if I haven't seen yours, you own in)
There's very conflicting legal basis for finders keepers in the US. Property that is lost or mislaid (2 separate legal statuses) are always owned by the true owner, always has rightful claim to the property. Discarded (not the legal term, its been a while since law classes) is available to whomever claims them. Discretion as to wether its been lost or left lies to judge in a dispute, and tends to favor the original owner, unless its actually pulled out of a landfill or such situations.
May I never have to work with you for very long. I might not have a problem contracting work out to you, but there's no chance someone as disagreeable as you come off as would ever get hired in my office. Being able to work with your coworkers is almost (but not as) important than the coding do doing your job, but being as much as a prat (and if in person you're not a prat, nevermind) as you seem to be, you'd be far more disruptive to a comfortable work environment than your skills would make up for.

And here i always thought it was sold to earn revenue.
Good. I don't.
Oh my god, that was like stabbing yourself in the head over and over again. Horrible!
I love you TCP/IP!

What USB tuners? I haven't been able to find one.
Its not made specifically for this device. It also works with the 20d and the 1D Mark II.
Than you've got the making for a lovely lawsuit on your hands.
Or it could be the same bad default video driver installed on both machines. Plugging it into a box with a different OS would check that.
Either way, it shouldn't be his problem. Send the POS back.

Um, I did, actually. Just had my annual review.
Inflation's sitting at 2.65 right now. It was at 2.7 2 years ago this time, and 3.4 a year before that.
Couldn't agree more.

I was vaguely amused when I typed it, but that how it is legally. I suppose you could have something in your will, or one of your heirs could do it.

Libel, however, is a pretty easy case to win.

I will point out, however, that its not a development house I deal with.

In Maryland, its in threat to person, or inside your house.
