Well I do believe in what the ACLU does in principle, but I was involved in a clear cut 4 ammendment violation case against the city and the ACLU refused to do anything to help in either the trumped up criminal charges or a civil suit against the city which I am still persuing on my own.
Good luck though going against a hugh CO ( or in my case city) by yourself.
They have their problems like any other Non-profit
"Please remove our program from your detection list or we will be forced to take action against you"
Sounds like a threat to sue to me... why pussy foot around it. They are hiding behind the EULA and have threatened you with a law suit. Not a reason to send death threats, but then again anyone using these tactics I wouldn't believe any threats were sent except the one he used against YOU.
Don't cave go with your original gut feeling. You are right, they are wrong and are SPYWARE.
i downloaded your product, please threaten to sue me.. please..... I dare you.... double dare you.... nahne nahne bobo.... (see how childish this sounds?)
Cartman: All right, everyone listen up! The hippie jam band festival is now fourteen miles in diameter and five hundred thousand hippies thick.
Randy: [closes his eyes] My God...
Cartman: In less than three days, all of South Park will be completely consumed. My only hope is to fight our way to the center of the crowd, and reach the heart, here. [points to the stage] If we can reach the stage, we can upload this Slayer CD into their music system. [shows off a CD-R of Slayer music] Hippies can't stand death metal. If everything works, they should disperse just before they consume us all.
I think some of your points are absolutly correct. Some of the market must be lost due to time, kids growing up, ebay vendors, rentals etc.
I can't say how much this effects disneys bottom line, since that data isn't generally given out to the public, but what is interesting to me was using quantity to create artifical demand. This is also done by other vendors by creating limited edition prints or presses of the same product. (*cough* Blizzard)
How many geeks ran out to by the numbered collectors edition product to then just rip open the box and use the CD? Of course this makes it the same value as a normal one, but by putting out a limited edt. numbered box people somehow see increased value.
Do some people save the box? Sure but they buy two, so they can play, and how much money realistically are they going to get in five years for the special edition? Blizzard doesn't care they got you two buy an extra copy!
Marketing is the product of the devil (joking if there are any Mrkt majors out there). Don't get fooled by what companies do to make you want their junk, or shell out more money for the same thing.
Well first off they say it in their commericals when they advertise. Second I did a company profile in business school which also mentions this when discussing supply / demand, and company marketing.
So tell you what you prove to me that it isn't true otherwise I will stand by my current statement.
Don't forget Disney. Why do you think they only sell movies for a limited time, then shelve them for years at a time with out releasing any more copys to the public?
Because they understand that by creating shortage they can dictate the pace and to some extent increase demand for the product.
This is all Mgt 101 people, not some grand plot to take over the world.
Seriously did you read any of the other posts? I have bought my Civ titles since Civ 2 but still use a cd crack on the game so my cd player isn't spinning up for no reason except DRM.
Don't bother you need to give them your email, and buy or participate in a bunch of worthless offers basically targeting at getting your personal information, or money.
No ipod in sight, damn I feel like an idiot for even spending the few min. looking.
Once again this was done because coptright issues were involved. The same common law copyright issues that would happen in 3/4 of the modern world.
Making up a supposed law that was passed for the CoS which never happened except in your imagination. 2600 was breaking coyright laws, and I believe the DvD encryption which is protected as well. Antiquited rules that may have to be updated but still the law.
Try again when you have links you read, and REAL facts
such an ass... making threats against a persons family and welfair because they don't agree with your point of view.
Not trying to make the old worn old "H" alanogy but is that really what you want. For him to lost his house, lose his family, go to jail, and made into a criminal over a slashdot post...
God I hate AC's that can't even stand behind there own comments, very well go making threats against people.
Not trying to troll.. just a word to people out there...
My '00 Mustang conv. engine died at 46K 2 months out of warranty. Ford was no help, either was the ford extended warranty co. I USED to be a fan of ford & was very happy with my car.
Buy a brand new '00 GT convertible $30k Engine blows up at 45k $3k Bad publicity Priceless..
"It's a cop-out when there's no reason for you to make claims that you aren't entitled to"
Huh what claim are you not entitled to?
Why should the burdon of proof of god be attached to cutting and pasting what every american child should have read by the time they are through high school. This isn't math bud, it's poly sci the two are not related.
If you choose to discredit the DoI then that is your issue, although technically it makes you a brit, if you live in the USA.
That makes you one brit in the land of oh.. how many US citizens? Your choice, mine is for the freedom & rites granted by our countries founders.

Would you care to explain how limiting the quantitity of a product has ANYTHING to do with price fixing?
Didn't think so. Look companies do this all the time, as posted in other parts of this thread. (Disney,toy CO's, MS, ETC)
What ever issue you have with MS keep it to yourself, or at least post intelligently if your going to bash.
Don't forget Disney. Why do you think they only sell movies for a limited time, then shelve them for years at a time with out releasing any more copys to the public?
