Daly dreams of being on the cover of Time magazine
No, Daniel Daly is dead and buried in Cypress Hills Cemetary. Daly was arguably the greatest marine of all time and the man behind the famous quote. Aubrey de Grey is the self taught micro-biologist who may or may not "dream of being on the cover of Time magazine".
Can you find me information on Monsanto withdrawing charges. It went to the Canadian supreme court so I have a hard time accepting this as a red herring.
I've never been tech-support for any ISP. I was a long time ago tech support for a small software company called Companion Link and I made sure the problem was solved before I got off the phone.
And when their seed blows into your crop (happens) they get to sue you and basically take your farm. search on Percy Schmeiser and read his story of how Monsanto pretty much ruined his farm.
Another example, previously featured on slashdot, is genetically modified seeds. What if seeds from a field of grain blow onto yours and you end up with the genetically modified grains or what have you, and you're sued for "stealing" it. It's an actual possibility, and it's MADNESS.
Ok and how do you propose the current system to be viable. When Monsanto owns all the food in the world and farmers can't grow without a license from them. I can't see that working for any length of time. It comes down to fix the problem now or deal with the utter breakdown in the future.
You really think there are more XBoxes in the world then PS2s. And yes the Xbox 2 will be out before the PS3, because MS is rushing it out the door to be first. I think it shows that the original XBox (maybe the whole line but time will tell that) lacks longevity, if a console can't keep selling games for 5 years why would anyone want to develop for it, hell why would anyone want to buy it.
Walkman 80's tech (it's a tape player) iPod new century tech (hard drive based mp3 player) You should be comparing iPod to mini-disc player (ok your point still works but jeez comparing and iPod to a walkman is just stupid).
And if Sony is making their money off of Vaios, I think they are sunk.
If I remember correctly if you request permission to record a conversation you have also given permission to have your conversation recorded. In that case the customers recording is just as admisible as yours whether they tell you they are recording or not.
But once you hear that canned phrase "This call may be monitored or recorded..blah blah" startup your tape recorder as now both parties know a recording is being made. You don't have to tell them that you are making one too.
s interesting to note that Lokitorrents keeps a blacklist and rejected torrents (and banned users uploading them) for items on it. They had a policy of adding anything to the blacklist if asked to by the rights holders, most of the stuff on it was from Microsoft since they actually bothered to ask. The MPAA didn't, they just sued instead. Not everyday you can say something is more evil than Microsoft.:)
So you are saying that lokitorrents knowingly aidied in the unauthorized trafficking of copyrighted materials. And yes the owner could request that they be removed but still they knew that these files were illegal. How are they not at fault again?
Did they request proof of ownership from microsoft or was a simple email enough? this half hearted attempt to protect themselves does not mitigate the fact that they were and are profiting from other people's copyrighted material. And yes profitting, how many ads do they run on their site, how much ad revenue do they make per day. If this does go to trial (in my belief any lawyer worth his salt would recommend settleing out of court) all their financials will be requested, and any profit they have made through the running of this site will certainly not help their case.
They don't need to use the DMCA, as prior to that god awful piece of law they had perfectly good protection under standard copyright law, with no need to send C&D letters. They found thes people to be violating their copyright (and for profit too, yes the site obviously creates ad revenue), so they took legal action. Having a mechanism for requesting removal does not take away from the fact that infringement has already occured.
Remember these giant torrent sites are loaded with ads and it is the infringing material that is driving the users to the site. so this is infringment for profit.
Though if I were the MPAA I would also target the advertisers as they too are profiting from the unauthrized exchange of copyrighted material.
Fine they have a right to defend themselves. and I have a right to refuse to assist them.
Whether Lokitorrents fights this or not does not remove my right to defend myself.
I have seen what LT is doing I tend to agree that they are in violation. In my opinion for them to do the greatest good to any legal challenge is to settle out of court thus not creating any precedence. If you are a information wants to be free type, you do not want these folks as your poster child.
I'd like to see that. He can ask me to leave private property, but the only way he could make it stick would be to physically assault me and then I would have quite a bit of precedence to back up my lawsuit against his employer with a large expectation of winning (or at least settling for a rather large sum).
If I refuse to leave about all he can do is lead me to the door or if I choose to resist, he can contact the local authorities and have me arrested. Only under very specific situations can he forcibly eject me or restrain me with out me having legal reprisal.
But in the AOL situation, it's their network so it's their rules. don't like it? then don't use it.
This is the most ridiculous argument. How many of you actually believe that what these sites are doing is not enabling the unauthorized exchange of copyrighted material. I mean go to the site, count how many legal torrents are there then count how many infringing torrents are there. Honestly do you think that the legal torrents are the actual reason these sites exist. No, they are there to facillitate the transfer of warez, movies, and music. You can argue against this point all you want but deep down you know I am right.
I'm not saying I have not used these sites and downloaded warez, movies, and music but at least I don't try and lie about what I am doing. I know what I am doing I just don't really happen to care.
Ditto here, but from what I have heard about this we should get about 10 hours lead time before the wave would hit us, pleanty of time to, i don't know, drive to the mountains.
Excuse me, I have a life, does that mean I can't enjoy a television show? Why don't you get off your high horse and leave your snide comments to yourself.
Not much of a christian if you think that animals can go to heaven. According to the book you worship, only men (mankind) have an immortal soul. There is no validation in the biblical texts that animals (pets or otherwise) are brought into heaven.
Slashdot Mirror
Wish I had mod points, I would add one more to your interesting score.
Daly dreams of being on the cover of Time magazine
No,
Daniel Daly is dead and buried in Cypress Hills Cemetary. Daly was arguably the greatest marine of all time and the man behind the famous quote. Aubrey de Grey is the self taught micro-biologist who may or may not "dream of being on the cover of Time magazine".

Not just a possibility it is happening.

I believe Sci-Fi channel launchs episodes in the UK Months prior to when they launch them in the US.
xBoxes outselling PS2s
You really think there are more XBoxes in the world then PS2s. And yes the Xbox 2 will be out before the PS3, because MS is rushing it out the door to be first. I think it shows that the original XBox (maybe the whole line but time will tell that) lacks longevity, if a console can't keep selling games for 5 years why would anyone want to develop for it, hell why would anyone want to buy it.

Shit I sell Oakley products and we just got these in stock. These things are more expensive then an iPod.The 256mb model are almost $550.00.

I have been getting these to, Totally blank messages, pretty much the only thing that gets through my filters. Strange but only minorly annoying.
Sorry I was replying to the entire discussion not you in particular. Poor placement of my comment.
They probably just want to sue Jeri Ellsworths profits away from her.
Actually their just jealous of this guy.
I don't think the EFF would touch this case with a 20ft pole.

"Make it stick"
I'd like to see that. He can ask me to leave private property, but the only way he could make it stick would be to physically assault me and then I would have quite a bit of precedence to back up my lawsuit against his employer with a large expectation of winning (or at least settling for a rather large sum).

Hey christian. Follow your own beliefs.
There is a reason the Amish don't serve jury duty.
"Judge not lest ye be judged."
Heed my words.
Not much of a christian if you think that animals can go to heaven. According to the book you worship, only men (mankind) have an immortal soul. There is no validation in the biblical texts that animals (pets or otherwise) are brought into heaven.
But hey I think they get the better deal...
Ahh... sweet sweet oblivion.
