What is meant by relative mass is that it doesn't have mass itself, but it is affected by gravity (which conventional thinking would imply that you have to have mass to be attracted to gravity) but with light its a one way thing, no matter how much light you have it will never have mass and therefor never have its own gravity. But it is sucked into gravity wells, more validation of the whole gravity if curvature of space thing.
On demand streaming is not the same as internet radio, and is treated the same as mp3 download sites (even if you protect it, which is impossible) He's why, sure someone could record internet radio, but it doesn't nessesarly give you the songs you want. If someone wants an mp3, they arn't going to turn to internet radio, they are going to search for it on a p2p network or use an on demand stream.
Well actually there is no obligation coded into law. They could continue to release DRM after the copywrite expires, its just that your not going to get into trouble for spreading the non DRM version around. NOW here is the problem. the DMCA (BOOO!) makes it illigal for you to convert out of DRM to standard format even after copywrite expires. But there is some working on getting that changed. But seriously an artist can use whatever means of distribution that artist wants to in my opinion. Obviously nowadays its the record company making that decision and that is pretty sickening. But just as a painter has his/her right of the medium of their painting so does a musical artist. I'm not going to be the one to tell them that their music has to be released in format X with tempo Y or any of that.
This type of DRM doesn't so much restrict you as it adds extra abilities. Basically an "artist" releases a song with DRM controls (proprietary encrypted format) so if you just have plain old limewire, sure you can trade the file. But its going to do you no good (of course someone can convert the file to mp3 and start trading that, but it takes a bit of work) While if you have DRM you can listen to this file, under certain restrictions. The advantage of hooking it straight into limewire is that limewire will now be able to read the headers from the file, and possibily even as as a registration/buying carrier. So you can use limewire to pay to open up the songs. DRM in itself isn't bad, because if the artist wishes to release their song in that format, that is their right. Its the attempts at mandating DRM and having players that won't play songs that other non DRM players will play.
Well current UCITA causes you to be forced to offer a certain level of support with the software. Which GPL software simply can't do, making unsupported GPL illigal. But I digress.
Good point, about all I can think of is that a Libertarian society is extremly buyer beware. So people would be forced to research companies themselves and create a network of trust instead of just assuming that the law is stopping these people from lying to you. Might work, might not, who knows. But people can no longer blame the government for not protecting themselvs, its not their job.
Shrugs, these are underground. And there arn't that many earthquakes in NY, (though some are predicted) I assume they have figured most of this out already.
Not heresay so much as legal advice from a non-lawyer. If anyone takes the summaries on the website as truth and ends up getting in trouble because the summary made an incorrect legal assumtion. That would lead to a VERY interesting trial. As you would be dealing with EULAs and the very fact that you may even need a lawyer to interpret something thats intended for lawyers to not look at could be interesting.
Yes, but look at it another way, each civilization may live for millions of years, or they may live for a few hundred. Either way the time between them inventing radio and the time in which they become invisible (through radio reduction, or going to some subether technology or something. Is probably in the order of 100-200 years. What is our chances of listening to a particular civilization who is going through that transitional stage right now?? I bet if we could listen to them all at the same time, but currently, we havn't figured that out yet either.
Yep it sure would be neat! Ok maybe on someone elses world. But that doesn't make it any less neat!:) (I have to appologize I just read the entire hitchikers guide trilogy (actually on 3rd book right now) in a week gonna finish all of them again, (actually never read them in order before, its kinda neat) then move on to read salmon of doupt and last chance to see.
No, then the bread starts to act as a one sided material, and will throw itself to the floor without reason and roll around on it trying to get as much butter to floor contract as possible.
Unless of course we can find a way of pushing the curvature of space back up by some type of anti-mass. As create plateos (spelling?) of space-time. But I digress. Or a VERY VERY strong bar holding the two earth masses apart. (preferably at at a decent distance, put it where the moon is I guess. Then we'd have significantly less gravity on that side of the earth. It would be pretty neat!:)
The blinding people thing was just the slashdot submitter of admin adding their own 2 cents into the story. This weapon is intended for destroying objects not blinding people (though reflections or miss targets may blind people, but this would be an unintended consiquence, not against the geneve convention)
Still does that give the owners of the drugs that I stole from the right to come after third or sixth party people whom got the drugs form me and beat them up? Sure they may do it, but giving them a legal pass to do it? Kinda scary.

No, then they would have to have permissions for each song. On-demand legally works like mp3.com you can just carry anything you want.

But light only has relative mass.
Copywrite introduced to break publishers monopoly on printing!!! please explain???

Well if you define christian as a set of beliefs. I'm sure he belives in all of that. Actions on the other hand.
enron was an energy company, arthur anderson was their outsourced accounting. But I digress.
X BOX, X Games, and Triple X have nothign to do with the number 10. While the rest do, anyways I digress

1. Steal music from starving artist.
2. ????
3. Profit!

I'm reallly hoping you meant 40K-70K a year, as otherwise your talking 480K and 840K a year. WOW I'd love to be living by your standards.
Yes, but my point is that this law is about vigilanty justice.
Still does that give the owners of the drugs that I stole from the right to come after third or sixth party people whom got the drugs form me and beat them up? Sure they may do it, but giving them a legal pass to do it? Kinda scary.
Then again, you can send money to me, and I promise I won't send you mail begging for more money either.
