What they merely said is that it is LEGAL for you to copy recordings for your own fair use purposes - they never said that the recording studios are obligated to provide you with a way to do that
Point granted. But why should the US government have anything to do with aiding the studios make it more "difficult" for "us" to copy recordings. There is already too much government involvement in making laws for huge campaign contributing companies. On a side note: my sig has never been better advice.
Isn't that what Microsoft is doing to a certain extent? VB? That shit'll turn you into one of those databases you were talking about, that churns out (bad? redundant?) code for a company. Uh, and yeah some of us _are_ in outrage about the effective redundancy of some programmers (some of which have the jobs of the more capable.) Benifit of the doubt? I don't think so.
A customer had a problem with their mac. They had to ship it in for warrantee replacement. I had them call 1-800-SOS-APPLE, as in ess oh ess APPLE. They called S0S APPLE. As in ess zero ess apple. It's a freakin' porn line. This woman thought I purposely gave her the wrong number and told my boss about it. Took a bit of figuring out... but all in all it was kinda funny.
Couldn't resist.

THAT'S how homer got the job.....
I worked as a consultant at a school in upstate NY that used Bess for filtering. Wasn't too bad... yeah, you had the occasional kid being able to slip through to horror movie babes or other somesuch "risque" sites. All in all it did a fairly good job. One of the big reasons the Superintendant wanted the filtering there was outside e-mail. He, along with the parents, thought there was no reason why the kids should be able to have ANY outside contact when in school. Not that this stopped them. Bess didn't block all web checkable mail accts... This was addressed as a big problem. Really big. Yes, the incidences of "adolescents drawn into powerful or obsessive relationships." are "rare." It happend in this district a few years ago. A student died as a result of an "obsessive relationship" online, during school hours, in which there was contact, through use of school computers, via email, to set up a meeting, in which this student was killed. Pretty serious stuff. The above mentioned Superintendant, who was a Vice Principal at the time, who has his own kids in school,and the parents in the district, were scared shitless. And who's to blame them. And they've been trying to zip up the internet access ever since, with the help of Bess. Not doing too bad of a job either.
However...
Some of these kids are smart. really smart. they tunnel through home PC's with cable access. They run "viruses" A la backorifice to capture keystrokes of teachers who have accounts to get through bess. Among other things. Lots of other things. I was only there two months. I buttoned up alot of these things. Cleaned up the workstations. Secured the servers. Updated virus signatures. Put procedures in place for the full time staff. Did the best I could. But the whole damned thig is way under-funded for what they want to do with it. Just not enough money.
Well to make a long story short.... I am at work you know... it is and always will be a balancing act with: Money. Time. Paranoia. Staff. and the ever growing knowledge of some of these kids. Ther is no easy answer. But it is a damn shame that they're selling this info...

Miserly? interesting choice of words...

They should probably cut their bandwidth in half. They sure don't neen it. Most other sites would've definately been slashdotted by now.
