    Of course since she's "Houston's Best Attorney Marketing" you might expect her to know a little bit about copyright law.

  2. Re:they are giving you credit now on Photographer Threatened With Legal Action After Asserting His Copyright · · Score: 1

    Just because making a copy is cheap and easy doesn't mean that it's only technical infringement. The copyright holder has the right to create copies. If you would like to make copies of their work you must license those rights from the copyright holder. She stole from him. Not the image, but the sole right to make copies. This isn't some obscure corner case of copyright law; this is the reason the laws were created in the first place.

    I would assume that the whole DMCA situation was covered in her Go Daddy service agreement.

    Ah, here it is:

    The question isn't where the money is going. The question is where it's coming from. The states are having major financial problems and rather than increase revenue through taxation they've elected to cut expenses by defunding universities. The costs aren't decreasing so the universities need to bring in the money from another source.

    Now, the salaries of administrators/executives has gotten out of control across all sectors, but not enough to account for the drastic increases in tuition that have occurred in the last decade.

    The problem is that before people started making noise there was no investigation. It took a lot of media attention to get the feds involved.

    I agree that there should be no conviction before the trial, but in order for there to be a trial there must first be an arrest.

    They may have been flawed implementations, but that still doesn't mean that Apple invented anything. And even if they did invent something they seem to be obvious inventions.
    The real problem we're seeing now is the same as the problem we saw at the beginning of the Internet Age. People used to slap "on the Internet" on the end of an invention and are now slapping "with a touchscreen" on the end of an invention.

    From the article:

    According to the statement, a group of men and women were leaving a downtown Seattle club at 2:32 a.m. Sunday and "were dancing and having a good time" when an "unknown adult male suspect came up from behind and pepper sprayed the group," the statement said.

    So to paraphrase. Group of friends walking down a street at night. Guy in a Halloween costume runs up and pepper sprays them.
