The key difference is you don't own the house. You rent with a rental agreement that says the landlord can take the house away, change the locks at any time. Read the EULA some time.
Oh yeah. Delete the app. If you don't like it post change, don't use it. I mean I think it's a foolish move but it's their game. You are just buying a license to it.
Sorry but facts are not copyrightable. If I say Dumbledore dies in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, that particular truth about the book isn't copyrightable. Sorry.
"...criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research..." There is no "benefit for society" rationale for this. Seems to me a complete list of spells, locations and timelines falls under the scholarship heading. Here's a hint there is no "benefit for society clause." It's just a version of Cliffs Notes which last time I looked were printed for profit.
"it actually infringes on *copyright*, per se, due to not really using significant portions of the original work,"
If it does have the original work in it, it's not copyright infringement.
Yeap - Under your twisted version of fair use, Cliff's Notes are illegal. The lexicon is a PERFECT example of fair use since it takes a huge amount of lifting to make a dictionary like that. Where do you get your knowledge of IP law?
Good thing people have actually done the research on "airbags" and "crumple zones." It's not like they are going to start from ground zero - that research has been done. We also have infrastructure for distributing electricity - it's called the power grid and it's far more universal than gas stations currently are.
The argument in the article is nonsensical. Proprietors of private space have ZERO control over the public airwaves. If someone using a cellphone is being an idiot, the proprietor can kindly ask them to step outside their establishment. Problem solved. A jammer is like using a tactical nuclear weapon to go elk hunting. Sure you can do it but it's overkill.
Well I would have to say that Google would have to be incredibly high to offer to buy the clunker that is VA Software. I say this as someone who also sold a company to them. Slashdot and thinkgeek are the only real profit centers at VA.
Truth by consensus? That's not how the scientific world works. There's the whole experimental model and reproducibility of experiments that leads to consensus.
Wow - Science by press release. It must be true. You link to a PR News wire story authored a known right wing think tank. The "study" they did wasn't even a literature review. It simply didn't state the type of disagreement they were counting which are often minor details. You then spun this into "The jury is still out on global warming." In the words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon".
That's amazing when you consider that Wild Blue only began offering service in the last year. Do you have access to some sort of time travel technology?
No smoking guns? You are kidding right? Libby's evasions and memory literally changed every day in one week. (He remembered on thing on Monday, another on Wednesday, yet another on Thursday and his story changed yet again on Saturday) Perjury is nearly impossible to prove at trial, yet the prosecutor managed to do it. You clearly have no idea of what went on in the trial.
Why is he "over jealous"? It hasn't been proven that no crime was committed. Obstruction of justice and perjury are both crimes last I checked worth impeaching a president over.
No. Because they didn't actual reveal the information - the government did. No pointing out that the government has published documents that reveal them to be inept isn't treason. It would be treason if the author were actively collaborating with the enemy. It has become fashionable by the right in the last 30 years to accuse the media of treason. Re-publishing something the government has published already in the public domain isn't treason.
Not "being debated". The reason they asked and announced her status was to clear a talking point. The CIA confirmed she was covert.
The people who wrote the statute don't make that call. The CIA does.
Here's a really simple version so you understand the act in question needs to prove that someone is leaking her identity intentionally. In the course of the investigation it was determined that Richard Armitage (who is a Republican)leaked her identity as did other officials. In the course of that investigation Scooter told multiple stories (within the space of two days) to investigators. He was convicted of perjury.
Well the use of a private email server to get around the Presidential Records Act is a pretty huge violation of the act. On the other hand since they have been DELETED we will likely never know now what was in them.
Nice talking points - too bad they have nothing to do with reality.
1. Plame was covert - the CIA just confirmed it before her appearance before Congress. She wasn't "well known" 2. At least two CIA front companies (and everyone that worked for them) had their cover effectively blown by the outing. 3. Scooter Libby told lies to egregious, that the prosecutor actually convicted him of perjury, a notoriously difficult charge to prove. Scooter literally told different stories in the space of 3 days.
Karl Rove is a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff. The law certainly applies to him. The problem isn't using non governmental resources for political purposes. It's using non governmental equipment for government purposes to avoid the reporting requirements of the Presidential records act.

Nope. You really should spend some time reading EULAs you effectively sign away most of those rights.

Actually she thinking about publishing a book like it. If it were the "exact book" she would be violating copyright.

"along with various reports of the violence at an all time low since the war "
Simply not true. It has dropped to the level of violence we experienced in 2005 so that's good.
wow you would buy something for $150,000? The Tesla seems quite overpriced to me.

You know Rob has already sold to the site to VA Software right? He doesn't own slashdot.

Nope. That's entirely fictional. She had a NOC cover. Get the facts.
