Just put a big, slightly visible watermark across the entire screen of the name of the guy you sent the DVD to. Like, just a 4% opaque "EBERT AND ROPER" diaganal across the screen. Then when it's turned to video, it'll either have to be blurred out, and thur ruin the film, or you've caught the guy whol let it out of his hands... How hard is it people!?
And programming is also hard. Why can't we have a program that does the same top twelve things that programmers do, but easily, and without all the difficulty?
if i were a company whos only purpose is to make money,like seems to be the case with all of them, i would fucking do EVERYTHING to achieve my goals.
By that logic, it would be in your best interest to murder all the rest of the population and take thier money and resources... You sure you think that's what's going on?
if you were a CEO with less than impeccable morals (CEO, financial backer, etc) would you opt for the 10 billion with a clear conscience or 100 billion with your gold and diamond yacht and your 500 room mansion?
greed always trumps morals and ethics. no doubt about it.
You mean SHORT-SIGHTED greed, don't you? After all, what worth is your money when you, your family and children are also running the risk of catching the disease and dying from it? Do you think the board-memebers are immune to cancer, for example? Wouldn't they like to have a cure for themselves? (and if they had it only for themselves, Wouldn't the world grow suspiscous of the 296 year-old CEO of Pharmucomp who looks like he's 28?)
No, so the only way your argument works is if the greedy folks are so short sighted that they can't think past the end of the day to see that they too will someday fall victim to thier own greed.
give me a good reason that corporations, whose sole existence is to make lots of money, not want to suppress cures, which cannot be sold again and again to the same patients?
Well, and this may be stretch it, but if the corporation could see past the end of it's own nose, then it may discern the possibility of a complete "cultutral revolution"-like episode whereby the company boadmembers are taken out into the streets and shot and the company itself dismantled. (Don't laugh, this happens from time to time, and often when there are sick/hungry/poor people who see a fat-cat type dangling the percieved cure to all thier woes over thier heads)
If that event occours, then, no matter hwo much it makes TODAY, it is meaningless as that amount will be zero in the future for eternity...
So, it would make sense for the corporation to give itself a good image in the society (by finding actual cures now and then) and thus be seen as heros and not devils when the revolution comes...
Is programmers are held liable, then it stands to reason that programmers still own the rights to thier work... Which mean you can take the insurance payments out of my ROYALTIES on every copy of software that gets sold that I have contributed to.
In a forest, a large tree may block light from everyone around it. When that tree falls, often MANY smaller trees will sprout up to take it's place.
I've noticed in the last few days, the amount of spam arriving in my gmail box has gone from one or two a day to hundreds a day overnight. I'm worried about what that means....
This means that in meetings people will pay attention to me instead of their Blackberries. There's nothing I hate more than making some point and having to repeat it because half of the people in the room are checking their Blackberries.
Sure, my software comes with a 100% lifetime warrantee. Note: Installing any software BUT mine, or using anything but a stripped-down bare-bones OS voids the warrantee.
Just FYI, 10 M yen is the MINIMUM to start a business in Japan. Basically this does not state real capital at all, it's just saying that they put up just enough to get a business licsence. I know the last company I worked for in Japan had that exact same 10 million yen on thier website for years even while making hundreds of millions of yen a year.
The alien from "Independence Day" and [duh!] ALIEN, making hot sweet love with a bald midget shemale with pink hair and no nipples! I really need to stop drinking!
How disturbing is it that I think I know the porn star you're talking about...
Yea radio is nice, but me listening to the radio does not give me the right to own a copy of the music.
Really? How much did the radios station pay the public for taking up a HUGE swatch of the EM band? Free, you say? So what are we getting in return then?
There is no copyright on those documents because they have never been published.
Things do not have to be published to retain copyright. If so, then unrelased tracks from artists are free to resell right? If you believe that, then go and attempt to start a new business with that in mind.;)

I intentionally buy nothing that is advertised to me, so if I viewed all those ads, I'd have nothing to buy.
Yes, unqualified people performing serious jobs leads to nothing but problems.
Careful now, that sounds a bit like TERRORIST talk to me...
