  1. Re:And Paramount's response? on P2P and TV · · Score: 1

    Answer the question. How is that promotion of the arts?

    Answer: The studio obviously thought it was crap so they shelved it as to not promote crap in the arts.

  2. Re:Try a remedial course in reading on P2P and TV · · Score: 1

    If it's destined for the dustbin that's where it should go, ITS NOT YOUR CHOICE. It's the studio's choice in the matter. You dont have any right(s) to watch it.

    How is allowing a company to stop this from seeing the light of day a promotion?

    Because they paid for it and most likely own the license for it, they get to say what they want to do with it. By your logic say I create Awesome-o-matic(tm), just because it's good people can take it and give it to people for free? I dont effing think so.

    The choice of what to do with it is in the hands of the creator, not what the masses want.

  4. Heh on P2P and TV · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Frankly, I'm all for this method of distribution, as I barely watch 'regular' TV anymore.

    Only on slashdot is stealing* encouraged and applauded when it involves Television, music, and movie copyrights, but God forbid anybody violates the GPL.

    *Yes i know it's not technically stealing.

  9. Re:EN release? on Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no 'release' at all really. The DVD's for LinuxTag are basically one-off 4.0 discs, the 'real' 4.0 release usually comes out a couple weeks later and might include a couple more updates.

    use ffdshow and stop worrying about if the pack has the latest codec, of if codec foo in that pack conflicts with bar you have installed and so forth and so on.
