If you don't pay rent at your storage facility, they auction off your stuff to the highest bidder. It doesn't matter if its furniture or business records.
If he's not paying for the service, why would they maintain his data? Storage is cheap, but it's not free.
Anyone who is going to commit a crime online is going to use a proxy. Maybe many proxies. Unless they're stupid and want to get caught really quickly.
Why don't they just increase the penalty for the base crime 25% and leave the proxies out of it.
Actually, your two groups could be included in the original three.
1. People who actually watch football and care about it.
These are just dumb kids. I'm one of them and not ashamed to admit it. At least I'm not a Jim Carey fan, that would be really dumb.
2. People who watch football as a 2-3 hour escape. "Ooh, sorry, honey. The game is on. How about in a few hours?"
These are the leering perverts.
Contract law may prevent them. A libertarian society doesn't necessarily preclude the enforcement of private contracts and if there is a contract that prevents the sale of data, and the host sells the data, the host would be liable for damages.
A student can be requrired to use such as service without surrenduring ownership. If a student has his/her own account with the service s/he has probably agreed to terms of service. Those terms of service don't have to require that copyright be surrendered.
The service may request a license to catalog the work for future research purposes only without obtaining ownership. In this case, they would be prevented from reselling the work (comparing other works to the licensed work wouldn't necessarily involve "selling" it. If the service had ownership, a nice way to double dip would be to sell A papers to other students while removing it from the comparison database guaranteeing an original result.
Anyway, this is similar to the software license I use in my consulting business. I retain ownership of my work. My clients have a lifetime license to use/modify my work as they see fit regardless of whether or not I'm making the modifications. They just can't resell or distribute my work.
Yes, programmers wrote those programs. But that it takes relatively few to write commercial applications. I think the article was describing the comparative armies of programmers that were required to write less-featured versions, from scratch, for every company that used them.
Gone are the days when most large companies are largely dependent on internal programs that are developed in house or by a consultant solely for that company. This required more people. Now that companies are using "off-the-shelf" software, it takes comparatively few programmers to write the code, even if the installations are customized.
Insurance isn't meant to be used for routine services. You don't buy auto insurance expecting it to cover oil changes and new tires. Why should a health insurance policy cover routine physicals.
Insurance is supposed to protect you from unforeseen disasters.
I have a high deductible PPO. It costs me $50 per month and I pay everything up to $3,500. Then they pay everything up. If I'm in a major accident or get cancer, I'm in pretty good shape.
I don't want to pay $300+ per month for a policy that pays for annual physicals when an annual physical cost $250 max.
As a result of the lower cost, I've now saved more than my annual deductible. Focus on getting an insurance policy that is that -- and insurance policy and save the difference in premium so you have enough to cover the deductible and pay routine expenses when you need it.
That said, when my wife and I were planning on having a baby, I compared a few plans and picked one that had a higher monthly fee and a lower deductible. As soon as the baby was born, we switched back to a high deductible plan. For that year, there was a point where the lower deductible and higher monthly fee made sense for us because it was a planned "procedure".
Why is it that pointing out the obvious is modded flamebait? Does everyone on Slashdot have zero respect for intellectual property or just a few moderators?
I am an ISV and make a living by selling my software. I contribute to and use open source solutions but open source is not the solution to everything.
I know that some people try and justify stealing music by noting that the artists make very little and the labels make lots, but without the labels, must of this music wouldn't be available to the mainstream. Yes, the labels make a disproportionate share the money but it costs a lot to produce an album but very few independent artists have the resources to produce an album on their own.
Suggesting this guy should get a lighter sentence because no one is hurt is like suggesting a car thief should get off easy because no one got hurt. I had a friend who's car was stolen and he was very happy with the outcome and his insurance check. Victimless crime?
Frankly, this guy is getting off easy. If he stole a car he'd be getting a worse sentence.
Maybe the reason the NSA needs to track phone calls here in the United States is that it is much easier to track calls placed between the US and Iraq.
The terrorists/insurgents in Iraq have got to be communicating with people here in the United States and porportion of illegitimate to legitimate information on calls between Iraq and the US is probably higher than calls that are entirely within Iraq.
It is ok to link patents and trademarks together. While different, both are governed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I don't see the problem with saying the patent system needs an overhaul because both are governed by the same system.
I think the API is for those who want to submit items for review. To access the API, you have to send a deposit to cover the fees that Amazon.com will have to pay to people sending you information.
Nice try though.
If somebody would read the Article they would know that it's the content Google wants Not the dial up side of it. But that would be to much work to really read it.
It has been common knolwedge for a long time the most slashdot posters don't RTFAs. I think your concer is that posters no longer read the summaries or RTFSs. Even though I didn't RTFA, I knew that Google was only interested in the content because it was in the FS.

If the money really was going to war effort, it was merely to help them defend against a genocidal war.
Try sitting next to the guy who is sitting next to Sarah Palin
What is annoying here is this doesn't mean he isn't guilty - it's just that the prosecutors really messed up.

Oh, and these could also be the homosexuals. If the man says this while the wife is standing naked in front of the TV, he is gay.

What about the privacy of those whose speech is classified as "hate speech" in the EU? Serious question.

Am I the only only who, because of the capital "SE", skipped the "Linu" and went straight to "x".

There's this thing called the INTERNET, where... ...you can look up stuff.

Actually, it was a mistranslation. The letter said that non-citizen immigrants who vote are guilty of crimes.

What would you think about your employer logging every website you go to?
This is what happens with your phone and has been for years. The phone company generously supplies all that information.
Actually, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing occured during Clinton's Presidency. Also the USS Cole. I think there were a few more.
I wonder how they keep track of software licenses when all of the employees can install whatever they want, whenever they want.

Those who post don't RTFA. There are many people who read slashdot and the FAs but don't post.
