  5. Re:DMCA? on SDMI Officially Reports on SDMI Hack · · Score: 2
    Couldn't the DCMA be challenged legally on the basis that there really is no such thing as an 'effective access control' device in purely digital content?

    Are you confusing "effective access control" with "perfect/absolute access control"

  8. Re:DK and Hackers on Jello Biafra's H2K Keynote · · Score: 1
    He's been anti-establishment since as long as I can remember

    The establishment is just fine; it's the puplic servants that are getting a little out of hand with their lack of respect for their job description and whatnot

    You should have created a login just for this! I would have given you all my mod points for that gem, were I moderating.

  14. What does it really mean? on Music Owners' Listening Rights Act · · Score: 1
    (b) "As used in this section, the term "personal interactive performance" means the performance of a sound recording and the nondramatic musical works embodied therein by means of a digital transmission and includes any digital phonorecord deliveries associated with such transmission, provided that the transmission is received only by a recipient who has provided to the transmitting organization proof that the recipient lawfully possesses a phonorecord of such sound recording and who has conveyed to the transmitting organization a specific request to receive the transmission of the performance."

    Doesn't this just mean that i can receive transmission of "music" only if i can prove i already "own" CD.

  16. Re:Come on... this guy is a space monkey on The Regulon · · Score: 1
    But that's tantamount to admitting that ideas spread because PEOPLE are biologically conditioned to favour some ideas over others (perhaps, say, ideas which make life easier/more enjoyable).

    I would not directly relate "biologically" and "ideas" but ideas are neurons firing and it seems they can cause some pleasent/unpleasent feelings(more neurons firing)

    When i tell an idea (vocalizations(mouth,ear(brain))) it can transfer itself to another brain and be stored, edited, mutated, rejected, morphed, retransmitted and so on

    Modern day humans don't have natural selection, why should their media?

    We do have "natural selection" this process includes the use of neurons firing and it's still a biological extension, it may not fit the going theory but it still operates

    Media i.e. content also get "selected" don't be blinded by random mutations look at the long term evolution of ideas becoming widespread and widespread ideas becoming obsolete, if I look at changes in 100-1000 year increments I see a pattern and direction in knowlege evolution
