Okay I did. I thought about the specialized rifles used in the biathalon. Guns, but designed to be the lightest, most accurate, fastest, and most accuracte target plinking devices on Earth.
One cannot in all circumstances claim a gun is "a device to kill people"
It rebuts (sp?) the claim that the internet poses unique and dangerous threat.
With 7.4 million DVD rentals per day in the US http://www.showbizdata.com/contacts/ and assuming 7GB per DVD average and ignoring the "features disks", the effective bandwidth of the DVD rental system is 52,800TB/day.
This implies that if the daily bandwidth of the internet were entirely DVD movies, this would constitute 3.8% of the total DVD rental market. (ignoring the DVD sales market for the moment) 3.8% is not "commercially significant" and doesn't affect the "fair market value of the work". It sounds (if memory serves) less the than the cost of shoplifting or credit card fraud.
According to Jack Valenti there will soon be 1M movie downloads per day worldwide http://www.mpaa.org/jack/2001/2001_04_03a.htm . This would constitute (if true) 15% of the *US* rental market (which is apples to oranges worldwide vs. US -- so derate by the ratio of the worldwide market to the US market). It would also imply that (even assuming 700MB Divx of VHS quality) that 35% of the total internet traffic (700TB/day) is movie downloads.
If anyone believes that I've got some swamp land and a bridge for sale.
Doing the cracking was possibly legal pre-DMCA -- but distributing copyright materials without the permission of the copyright holder certainly wasn't -- outside of "fair use" excerption, archival, time and space shifting, reverse engineering, critique, parody, commentary etc. , and the home-recording act exceptions.
From my experience in the industry, dongles, keys and the rest have *never* stopped piracy. Cracks usually appear within a week of any major release. However, traditional copyright infringement liability and the fear of being cut off from tech support certainly *has* had an impact, at least for business customers and others the have the means to pay. Try getting support for a cracked CAD or animation tool when you have a problem and a deadline (big ouch!)
Doesn't the conviction of the DOD principles on traditional copyright infringement grounds negate the "digital is different" theme of the constant call by the (MP|RI)AA for stronger anti-circumvention measures?
Would stronger anti-circumvention laws or technical protective measure (TPMs) have affect the operations of DOD?
Do you think the DOD's conspicuous visibility (and the ease of online searches), made DOD easier to target that the street-corner DVD, VCD, and VCR vendors?
Is there any way to distribute content online that a copyright holder would not be able to find the that content -- assuming that the content was visible enough to have (in the language of fair use) an "impact on the fair market value of the work"?
It's a Nat. Semi. Geode GX-1 300MHz -- which is a Pentium MMX class SOC. Somebody was reading their compile flags and not their product info on this one.

Anybody want to start retailing these? I'd bet you could ask DT (pretty please) to not install CE on them, or even put a CF adapter on them.
Heck I bet you could even get AMD to put in a good word with DT if you were going to put up some kind of "community site" to support them.

Soop.
"All absolute statements are false."
to compute the bandwidth one need only add a travel time from source to destination.
BW = amount xmit'd / time to xmit
A USC Prof phrased the question in terms of a backup operation for a downtown LA bank to a data vault site in Ontario, CA (Cali, not Canada).
Of course the station wagon bandwidth is subject to network traffic and packet collisions IRL as in the metaverse.

IANAL and I don't play one on TV!
