Kind of get the feeling they hired the first attorney they could find, and a guy who is not likely to have a lot of experience in a case like this
the web site for Mark Hopkins describes him as "Mr. Hopkins litigation practices focuses heavily on matters relating to real estate transactions, construction matters, and state taxation issues. Mr. Hopkins also has considerable experience in litigating personal injury and wrongful death matters, as well as handling complex insurance coverage matters in both State and Federal court."
Unlikely. I've worked on a few IP litigations, and a great deal of effort is put in to keep secret documents out of the public view. When the documents are discussed in court, the doors are closed, and anyone who is not allowed to see the info is removed from the courtroom. The exhibits the court uses are never released to the public, and even the transcripts are never released to the public.
If you are patient enough, a good observer can figure out what was discussed in closed door sessions
from a grateful industry, straight in to a politicans pocket
"We're always grateful when members of Congress devote their attention to an issue as critical as the protection of copyrighted works," spokesman Rich Taylor said. "We look forward to working with this new body in the days and weeks to come, to help create an environment where a legitimate digital marketplace can thrive."
As long as the "retroactive" royalty payments don't pre-date the passage of the law, it's probably all legal. Chances are the law said that payments are due as of when the law was passed, subject to actions of the regulatory body that decides the rate.
Still, that does not mean it won't have the RIAA's desired effect, which is to kill off anyone who is not already a billion dollar business
Root may be the owner of the file, but that does not mean root owns the process when TruBlue is launched. Classic is just another application, and not a system function. As an app, the only way it gets root power is if a password is entered by an administrative user.
Classic is not run as root, it's run as the user who is logged in. Classic can freely write to "System Folder", where the classic system lives, but it cannot write to anywhere inside/System, where all the important things live. Classic user would not be able to add itself to the X startup
But, you could easily add to the Classic system startup, and cause lots of havoc there..
they picked Dmitry because he was actually selling a product that "breaks" the law. There is no easier way to prove that he intended to violate a law make money off of it
Unfortunately, by coming to the US and talking about his product in Las Vegas, that is the point when prosecuters will say Sklyarov committed his "crime"
If I got evevry single game that every team plays, not just my local teams, $9.95 per year would be a very good price.

In any case, what about Primus' website? www.primussucks.com ? It's the official band site, which makes it pretty flack-proof, and a good case in favor of how stupid legal maneuvers like this really are.
Does not really apply here...Primus did not make Primussucks.com to protect themselves... they did it because a) Primus has always introduced themselves by saying "Hi. We're Primus, and we suck!" and b) some other company already had the Primus.com domain
On the other hand, the band Primus might actually have a case if they claimed that only they owned the phrase "Primus Sucks"..
If I write a song myself, me not being a member of the RIAA have sole rights to that music and how and where I choose to sell it.
You have the right to sell the song, or attempt to collect royalties just the same as the RIAA. It's similiar to joining BMI or ASCAP to collect royalties for radio or TV play. You are just a lot more likely to get paid if you are part of a huge organization than if you attempt to collect yourself.

"None of the above. Apparently this was a costume contest. The costume featured Star Wars characters, trolls, orcs, vampires, wizards, elves, and other strangeness. No word yet on who won but I'm hoping it wasn't the guy with the giant horn sticking out of his crotch. That person does not need any more encouragement. "
The guy with a horn in his crotch is Scroda, one of the villians of Gwar. Scroda is basically a crack-smoking phallus. He does not have to win... Scroda will merely kill everyone in site if he does not....
My life is now complete because Gwar has appeared on Slashdot.

Don't get a patent lawyer just because the price is low! If you are doing hi-tech work, get someone who is both an engineer and a lawyer.
I would suggest Skjervern, Morrill, MacPherson, Franklin & Friel. Located in San Jose, CA and Austin, TX, SMMFF knows their stuff !

I don't see what the problem is ...

b) if you want out, you can get out

launched automatically for me, but only when Classic was running ... sounds like Classic MacOS is the weak link
