Assuming that the people goto the site to read the article (as opposed to reading it here from the comment in which the whole article was posted) it would drive up the number of ads served which would be a good thing. I would think
Actually Spyglass which licensed the NSCA code could claim that Netscape was a copy of Mosaic.
In fact Netscape had to paid NSCA some money - the Netscape 1.0 code was so close to Mosaic they you could not run both programs on the same machine and they kept overwriting each other's settings.
I suppose it's Disney's fault that DSL or cable lines aren't faster.
Maybe they are just ahead of the curve. In a few years with fibre optic networks to everyone's doorstep you will be able to download the movie in a minute or two. Then Blockbuster is in real trouble.
I thought it had to do with competition from Rogers, but may Bell knew which way things were going with the CRTC and dropped the cap to make its service seem better when comparing to upcoming competition for DSL service.
What if the inferior author was backed by a huge Disney marketing campaign while at the same still Rowlings had decided against any Harry Potter movies and as a result her publisher had a small ad budget? People would be buying the inferior product and not giving anything to the creator of Harry Potter. It would definitely hurt the author.
You will get more pay TV or people like Farscape fans offering to pay for the show in advance. Without ads watching all of your favourite shows is going to cost more. On the other hand, no ads could lead to a full 60 minutes of show which could lead to be better plots and no need to worry about offending advertisers.
Is subscription theft is buying a TiVo and then hacking it to use free TV listings off the web so you don't need to pay TiVo the $250 upfront or the $15(?) a month charge? If so how does that differ from buying a Xbox and then using it to run Linux and not the games that MS makes its profits off of?
Breaking in the TiVo servers to download the listings or even using them via another person is another matter but I don't think that's what is being described here.
Is it just MS vs. TiVo that determines what goes in the book.
A real Hacking TiVo book would include how to use the TiVo without needing to contect to the TiVo servers.
Basically store coupons from Canadian Tire you get for paying in cash (or using the company's credit card?). The quality approachs real money and sometimes foreigners think it is real.
Since most people end up with a bunch of 5 and 10 cent coupons that they never remember to use, a common fund raising technique is to ask people to donate what they have.
As you note the Apple customer has 20 songs. During the two months they were a customer the person using the MS service could have downloaded a thousand songs.
Drop MS from the equation. Which is better buying a DVD a month or having unlimited movies on demand?
Do what Fictionwise.com does with buying ebooks, many of which are a few dollars or less. You put money on your account via your credit card in blocks of $5 and then use that account to buy. If you want you can use your credit card without an account but a charge of less than $5 gets hit with a handling fee.
The bigger problem is that the band can have their songs on Apple's site but who would know - you need marketing.
Bad code can be more than costly. Sometimes it's lethal.
--The $165 million Mars Polar Lander probe was destroyed in its final descent to the planet in 1999, probably because its software shut the engines off 100 feet above the surface.
I didn't know the Mars Polar Lander was a manned mission.
Had it been a manned mission - there would have been a greater demand for reliability and the metric vs. imperial measurement problem would have likely been caught. You get what you pay for.
The judge said that the music companies cannot go after the people that provide the tools that might be used for trading music. The implication is to go after the people that use the tools for trading music. Expect to see a lot more students and other people who trade music to be sued - even more so now that ISPs have to give up their names.
Firstly by having the storage at the cable company's end this reduces the initial cost to the consumer - so more people are likely to try it. Secondly the article mentions that a person could watch content already shown.
"For example, if Mystro TV is successfully developed and the appropriate rights secured from owners of video programming, a subscriber could use the Mystro TV service to watch a program that aired the previous day, or to begin watching from the beginning a show already in progress," AOL said.
If your Tivo does not record a show, its gone - with this it appears that in some cases you can watch the show without waiting for repeats.
Iraq by that time already showed that it could not be trusted to have a nuclear program.
Iraq had attacked Iran in Sept. 1980, Israel attacked Iraq's reactor in 1981. The Iranians should be happy that Saddam didn't nuke them in addition to using chemical weapons against their troops and firing missiles at their cities.
Wait until Blueray DVDs with 40GB of space come out. They're going to claim that since they can hold MPs also, they should be hit by the levy also. They right now want $2.27 per regular DVDs which have only 1/4 the space. Who wants to pay $9 a disk for high def dvds?

During the Bell AccessZone Wi-Fi pilot, users with 802.11b enabled devices will be able to gain free access to Bell's hotspot service in the following high traffic locations: Toronto's Union Station; Via Rail Panorama lounge in Montreal's Central Station and Toronto's Union Station; the departure area at Montreal's Dorval International Airport; Kingston's Confederation Park and Marina supported by the Kingston Economic Development Corporation; and Kingston's St. Lawrence College. AccessZone is also available in the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounges at Pearson International Airport (Terminal 2), Dorval International Airport, and the Calgary International Airport and will be installed in all other Maple Leaf Lounge locations. Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and Kingston's Frontenac Public Library will also be deploying a Bell AccessZone location in the coming weeks. Other pilot locations will be introduced over the pilot period, which is expected to run until the spring of 2003.
As you noted 1 cent per commercial skipped is about 30 cents a show. A reasonable deal, especially if hooked up to a VOD system in which all of this years and last years episodes (of the show in question) are available.
To reduce costs, have targeted ads - which not only don't cost you the viewer since you usually won't skip them but if you click on the remote to indicate you watched the ad, you get a credit. I think to an ad company a person watching a few ads they are interested in is a better deal than throwing a bunch of ads at them that they will ignore, watched or not.
If ad skipping etc is too bothersome, there is always HBO.

Wouldn't they want the link?

The monthly bandwidth cap has been dropped.

Why should people pay a tax on CDs so they can back up their files?
This is the case in Canada and I really don't like giving Anne Murray money so that I can back up my data files.
This article deals with commerically published knock-offs, it has nothing to do with fan fiction as dicussed in the article.

Which peoples meet your approval to have a state?
Commericals often have a higher volume than the television show. They also may have different display characteristics.

They will be using Windows XP Pro and a custom written media player. MS has an whitepaper out.

Well I guess we know how you stand on the issue of paying for additional Farscape episodes.

Actually, if they used Tolkien's writings on the First or Second Ages of Middle-Earth as it's basis, a prequel trilogy wouldn't suck.
