That seems a little indirect. Mail out pre-broken CD, plus a demand for its safe and intact return, or a check for the full retail value.
Easier yet, just mail out a bill for a CD, and claim that the balance of probability is that you did send one out and that the recipient is lying about not receiving it. Damn "consumers"; you can't believe a word they say.
As a Scotchlander, I can assure you that there's no such thing as "UK law". There may be regulations, but I challenge you to point to a single "UK" statute, outside the Act of Union.
Even if you are a lawyer, you might want to consider not playing on one Slashdot.
Hey, you know who's really boned? The survivors of the next ice age.
No, I am not joking, and yes, I think we should be considering this. They're going to have to go from coal (if they're lucky and we've left them any) straight to nuclear.
Which, like the "If we can terraform Mars, how come we can't terraform Terra?" question, begs an answer to this puzzle: if we, at the height of the oil bonanza, demonstrably can't find a viable way to wean ourselves off of oil while maintaining a technological society, how will those poor bastards do it with the fossil scraps that we've left them?
Um... under what circumstances is the trailing.exe not be shown? Either the machine is already owned, or there's some fucked up Outbreak / Outbreak Express configuration that allows this, or they're, well... bullshitting. To put it politely.
Sure, this would be like arguing that murderers should be encouraged to commit small, regular slayings of unimportant people in order to avoid building up the urge to go on a real rampage.
(Not really, I just wanted to give Jack Thompson some easy quotes).
You're fine with paying them a fixed monthly fee and opting in to ads? You could help them out even more by just not playing as much, or perhaps you could organise a bake sale.
Remind me, what's MS's track record like on integrating "compatibility mode" into the OS du jour?
I ask because either way, Win7 may finally break my Windows habit. My current OS of choice for C++ software development is Win2K, targeting Win32 platforms. I haven't yet seen a compelling reason to upgrade to XP, nor to switch to a *NIX. When Windows 7 comes out, I'll have these choices:
Pay >$150 for Win7 and then maintain two versions of all my releases, one of which will (if MS gets it right) run just fine on Win7 anyway.
Pay >$150 for Win7 and maintain the legacy versions of my releases, which will (if MS gets it right) run just fine on Win7
Pay $0 for a Lunix and then cross compile or develop and test via WINE / a hypervisor to maintain the legacy versions of my releases, which will (if MS gets it right) run just fine on Win7.
Pay nothing and continue with my current OS that can produce binaries that will (if MS gets it right) run just fine on Win7.
Rationally, what should I do? And more to the point, how does MS providing flawless emulation/library support help to persuade me to give them money?
Also, there's the thought that I might want to re-claim rights for Good as well as Evil: for example, if Evil Megacorp swiped the work and tried to pass it of as their own (and to assert rights over it). For that reason, I just use CC Attribution now, rather than trying to fight the Man.
You know one reason why it's still eaten? Because it pisses off smug patronising round-eyes who like to lecture about cultures that they have no real insight into.

Stupid analogy? Meh, I'm not the one that started babbling about unicorns.
Oh, FFS, Google before making an idiot of yourself.
banknotes issued by the Bank of Canada are legal tender in Canada. However, commercial transactions may legally be settled in any manner agreed by the parties involved.
Some business in Canada is transacted in United States dollars, despite United States currency not being legal tender.
Legal tender of Canadian coinage is governed by the Currency Act which sets out limits of:
* 40 dollars if the denomination is 2 dollars or greater but does not exceed 10 dollars; * 25 dollars if the denomination is 1 dollar; * 10 dollars if the denomination is 10 cents or greater but less than 1 dollar; * 5 dollars if the denomination is 5 cents; * 25 cents if the denomination is 1 cent.
Retailers in Canada may refuse bank notes without breaking the law. According to legal guidelines, the method of payment has to be mutually agreed upon by the parties involved with the transactions. For example, convenience stores may refuse $100 bank notes if they feel that would put them at risk of being counterfeit victims; however, official policy suggests that the retailers should evaluate the impact of that approach. In the case that no mutually acceptable form of payment can be found for the tender, the parties involved should seek legal advice.
Plaintiff dropped the ball and failed to claim profit derived from the images, and to demand an original of the second stolen image. A lawyer would likely have spotted that and earned him a much higher settlement.
The judge was minded to award him costs and lawyers fees, but since he represented himself, he didn't get any, i.e. he invested time that he could have spent on his business into this case, for no return.
And given that Defendant is clearly a Russian Bratva whose own employees and associates testified against his character, it'll almost certainly go to collections and at best Plaintiff will see 10% of the award.

It could be a very small but radioactive meteorite, that doesn't kill them immediately, but gives them cancer. Of the balls.

Isn't that like a "strong" Superman?
What would that make a "weak" superconductor? A conductor?

See my point about not having to test compatibility if MS gets it right.
But if they get it right, then I don't have to give them money. They may be... conflicted.
I should note for future efficiency that "by Philip K. Dick." contains 6 fewer characters than "a stinking pile of shit."
Please note: a movie can be "a great film" without being a great adaptation of a book.

Mostly all y'alls do steal music, so this case has got nothing to do with you.
Thanks, that's about my thoughts on it as well. There's a Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication available, but I have no idea if it has any legal basis.

Gmail is still beta? How would I know?
Out of interest, how do you put copyrighted content into the public domain? Seriously, what's the statute or case law on that one?

Eh, it's an easy mistake to make. Whoever wrote the "Zonk" shell script just introduced an off-by-one error.
That all sounds very sage, but unfortunately there's no need to wonder what "might" have happened, since it's right there in the ruling.
If you RTFJudgement, you'll note that:

Not looking so smart now, is it?
