copy protected = corrupted. Anytime you read the phrase copy-protected replace it with corrupted. This way you get the true meaning of the sentence.
The RIAA has, for the past two years, been winning the war of words. The RIAA is the lightning rod for the recording industry, and has been, unfortunately, too effective is doing this slight of hand and ear that would make Houdini proud. Other phrases: fair use = theft, copying a cd = piracy, music fan = thief, etc..
If you can not back up your CD then it may be illegal under the AHRA in which the RIAA currently collects 2% of the wholesale cost of a CD recorder and 2% of the wholesale cost of blank music rated CDRs. Rick Boucher has asked the RIAA and IFPI to respond to this letter, pointing this out, snd asking for clarification of these "copy protections"
I've used the heat generated from a TV or more recently my monitor. I'm not talking about dripping wet items, that would be stupid, and you would desrve what you get. But if it has moisture on the inside such as in the screen like the face of a watch that fod up inside. Take out the batteries, remove any covers, open all doors and panels, and place it on you tv or monitior. Leave there for a day or two. We used to tell this to people who dropped their digital cameras into water and it's worked dozens of times. Low grade heat and somewhere for the moisture to go. Of course we would suggest that the camera would need to go in for service immediately to protect it from corrosion, etc. most did they were glad we had saved them the cost of a new camera.

Heart of the Net

· Score: 1
It really depends on the perspective of the person using the Net. To my 78 year old mother, the heart centers around medical information websites. To my 18 year old nephew its centers around music d/l, chatrooms and instant messaging, and no doubt a liberal amount of pROn thrown in. To my 23 year old neice in college, its research, shopping, IM and chat. To me its a job, convenient shopping, and research.
Just as in meatspace, each persons perspective is colored by their perceptions and interests, and each persons reality is what they perceive it to be. Just like having 10 witnesses to an accident, you will get 10 different descriptions of the what the heart of the internet is. Multiply that by the billions now using the net and you have that many hearts.
I use DirecTv with TIVO. In my area I can't get the local stations or networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) via DirecTV so I had to watch the Superbowl on the local cable rather than on my TIVO/DirecTv. So as a result they were unable to gather no information about what or how I watched, especially since the Tivo unit was in the office and the non Tivo unit was in the room we watched the Superbowl from. In fact the majority of DirecTv users can not get local or network stations on the system so the point is mute for us...
I agree, it is a better catalog than we can get here in the US, from any licensed service, and it is interactive. In short I can download the music I want, rather than having a pre-selected music forced on me. If something like this was available in the US, Hilary Rosen would be out of a job.
So point to one law or case that says that sharing MP3 is illegal. To date there is NOT ONE DECISION or LAW that says that it is. Sharing copyrighted files may immoral, but not Illegal.
MP3 is a file format, it can be used for good or evil, just like everything else in the world. You need water for life, but I can turn it into a delicious water torture if I so desire. Does that make water illegal?
Anyone that accesses any network (including dial-up) with an entire hard-drive shared is asking for trouble.
Yep, it's a good service, (although slow at times), And they often have new albums available within a few days of their release. As a test only, I did a search from Glitter by Mariah Carey, Invincible by Michael Jackson and Britney Spears most recent a few days after each was released and they were there in MP3 or WMA files. Other than the slow speed at times, the only other downside is that the catalog is limited somewhat, but you will find most of te commercial hits available. (Even Diana Krall, The Look of Love)
The proper term is CORRUPTED, not copy protected.They do not conform to Red Book Standards.
Congressman Rick Boucher of VA has written a letter to the IFPI and the RIAA suggesting that under the AHRA this may illegal and asking for explanations of the methods used. Under the AHRA there is a 2% surcharge on every CD recorder sold in the US at the wholesale level (See section 1004), that goes to the RIAA, just as there is a 2% surcharge on "Music" designated CDR media.
In addition Philips refers to these corrupted discs as "silver disks with music on them, but which do not resemble CD's" See this article
...Shouted an anonymous voice from the crowd. Its obvious its from Monty Python. As for getting getting modded up, I don't live for karma like you obviously do, otherwise you would have chosen to use your id. Perhaps the subject should have been "So, can we have your liver then?". Perhaps I was remiss in giving Monthy Python credit, but actually thought that it would be recognized as what it was. In the future I'll spell out each and every detail for you so you can clearly understand my intention as you obviously didn't.
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough, [clunk] And people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft, And you feel that you've had quite enough, [boom]
[singing] Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. [boom] [slurp]
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
Create more uncertainty into the marketplace, resulting in the consumer (customers) saying what the heck is this? And not buying any of it.
There needs to be a standard in which everyone will participate.
This type of thinking is exactly why the SSSCA won't work. These people can't even even agree on the technology to present their product in more compelling ways. Imagine them trying to agree on a crypto standard for computer hardware....So it would be decided on by congress. Theres a real oxymoron, congress passing laws on Intellectual Property and encryption and DRM when half don't even know how to use e-mail.
HP has announced that research and development is working on a "thumbnail" computer designed around their new nanochips. Among potential problems they are looking at overcoming is the design of a stylus with a point small enough to press the keys on the keyboard, which are expected to be only.001mm in size.Another issue the team will be addressing how the user can view the screen, which is rumored to be less than 1/4" across. Other issues expected present problems are the Cat 5 socket for the built in lan, and the speaker plug for the built in soundcard.
I've noticed the same thing. I've watched bidding wars get started of the silliest items at times. I've seen memory prices for generic go higher than I could buy name brand at my local computer store. I was watching a few auctions lately, on a slide scanner ( I had one I was wanting to sell) A year ago I put it up for $250 and got no bids. Then I saw this bidding war get started over the same model I had. It went close to $300. I put mine up and it sold for $370 plus. Couldn't believe it, but I cashed the check.
with Red Hat than they did with Netscape. As a Netscape user since Version 2, (on Windows 3.11) I watched Netscape grow and get a little better with each release right up until the time that AOL
took over. At that time they had approx 60%-70% of the market as I remember. The next few releases started having more and more unintended features (bugs) as IE was coming on strong. They used
to have a really great support area, it's been trimmed to nothing, if you can find it. Every version I download I get AIM, AOL offers of a gajillion hours of free AOL service etc. As for the CDs, I wish they
would go back to the floppies, at least I could reformat and use them, I already have enough coasters from my first CDR.

Resistance is futile the RIAA has been assimilated. they just don't realize it yet. Afternapster has a list of 100
other filesharing programs. Song long KaZaA. Next!
I've had experience in purchasing software that had to be "patched" as soon as it was installed. I'm not talking about software that's been setting on a shelf in a retail outlet for 6 months but bought straight from the manufacturer, and delivered next day. Upon installation, I had to go to the website to check for updates and patches, which there always were. Of course, only registered users could get them, so it seems to take on a whole new light. Rather than patches were they actually verifing the registration info and that I wasn't one of a million that were usng the same serial number?
This has happened with different manufacturers on several occaisions, so it wasn't an isolated incident.

I can see the TV ads now, Tim Curry in drag singing "I'm just a sweet tranvestite, get your tv right now."
Maybe during the Super Bowl...Now that would be a commercial to see. Worth staying in front of the TV...
