In almost all recording contracts today, the record company IS the publisher. The recording industry strips the publishing rights from the artist almost 100% of the time...
You refer to Brook's law... Is your project late? If so, then your project will get later by adding the coders... If it's not, then add the coders... If you hold Brook's law to any project then one person would have to write everything!
That's my point... AOL doesn't need the money. This post is intended to show that we are all hypocrites ourself if we don't stand behind AOL just as much as we stand behind 2600, napster, DeCSS etc. etc. etc...
Just because they are the "big guys" doesn't make them any less of a victim than one of us...
This is Dan Nimrod reporting for WJRK news. We are speaking with Shirley Macbeth from Sybase Inc. regarding the recent announcement concerning the Watcom compiler series being released under an Open Source license.
Ms. Macbeth, why has Sybase decided to do this?
Well Dan, the last release version of Watcom C++ was in February of 1996. We just really don't have the energy to do another one, and don't see any reason to since we the last money we made off this was when we accidently put "Watcom Linux" on the box and sold 6 copies to roblimo, who though it was a cool new Linux distribution.
I see. Why have you chosen SciTech Software as the official maintainer of the Watcom complier products?
As far we can tell, they are the only ones who have ever used them. Of course, it was to compile Vigor.
Any parting words Ms. Macbeth?
Could John Gugeheiman please stop calling us for support? For the last time, we don't know what a "long long int" is...
Ever heard of doubleclick? This is happening every day!
The cookie wouldn't be "from" amazon, it would be from EVILADAGENCY.com, which would then retrieve that cookie...
doubleclick has the ability to do this RIGHT NOW! This is not a scary paranoid conspiracy theory... The ability to do this exists. doubleclick, of course, says they do not do this... But who knows...
Why would EVILADAGENCY release info to the president? Because they are evil of course:-)
Wal-Mart is a proper noun, Red Hat is a proper noun, Microsoft is a proper noun... Every name for everything ever made can be a proper noun. As a matter of fact, every random combination of letters that could ever be produced can be a proper noun (I can name my child Rewodjfuekjslcnvuekskchvow if I so desire)... Proper mouns most certainly can be {Trademarked, Copyrighted, Patented}...
What if _already had_ trademarked FBI, CIA, or RADAR... You'd be pretty pissed if someone tried to take that name away from you? That is all that is happening here...
Not having worked with any of this censorware, I'm not sure.... But I would think this stuff would block at the router, or at the firewall to your network, not on your local machine. Why doesn't someone set up a public proxy server somewhere, so people could browse whatever they want from one of these brain dead networks? Maybe they do?
Of course the public proxy server would be the next thing blocked huh?
What about a person has been to amazon.com and bought a book, filling in their credit card number, home address, all of their information, and this was captured by EVILADAGENCY.com. Then suppose that same person goes to your site, with your web counter. The cookie that was left from amazon (with all of their information) now can be correlated. They know exactly who that person is, and that person went to your web site. Still pretty harmless though, huh? But, now let's imagine that person goes to www.ihategeorgebushandwanttoseehimrotanddie.com... And our (maybe) next president asks EVILADAGENCY.com who has been to his least favorite web site? That is the problem with this...
Like http://music.lycos.com/mp3/ you mean? or maybe http://www.mp3search.nu/ or how about http://www.mp3board.com/. Just do a google search on "mp3 ftp search"... I suppose we'll have RIAA banning ftp next... God forbid they find out *gasp* you can download mp3's from a website!!!
Very thorough! I wonder if I could hire one of those lawyers the next time I get a speeding ticket?
Let us not forget though, the Napster case isn't about Napster, it's about _all_ of the Internet. Do you think that http will be the next attack? We all know you can download mp3's from the web! And oops, someone emailed me an mp3... I suppose we'll have to do away with email next...

Now, will the EFF step up to the plate and help AOL with free lawyers to help fight this injustice like they did 2600 Magazine???
"We recently sort of came to the conclusion at the same time that we're not all that thrilled with the Internet," Nelson says.
Different strokes I spose, but I think I'll get my movie reviews from someone who's a little more thrilled by the Internet!

This applies to everything they do, not just their web site. Apply lots of cool stuff. Doesn't work? Who cares!
