If no such log exists for the specific page in question, please provide any logs that would cover the domain
I suppose the wording is unclear - you could read it as "please provide any logs for the specified period that would cover the domain", or "please provide any logs regardless of time that would cover the domain". The latter could be vast amounts of data, and on reflection, I think is unlikely to be their meaning. That's how I interpreted it first though.
If no such log exists for the specific page in question, please provide any logs that would cover the domain together with an explanation of what the log covers.
So upon receiving this subpoena, I'd expect that they are legally bound to provide whatever logs they have on their system that have not yet been deleted. They could claim that it arrived during a heavy traffic period...
If you look at article 11, the "technological measures" (DRM) need not be "protected" against circumvention if it restricts acts that are "permitted by law".
True, but I have yet to come across a WCT-derived legal implementation that doesn't afford that level of protection to DRM technologies.
Norway is not part of the EU, but they have their own equivalent to the EUCD. They've signed up to the same interantional treaty that the entertainment industry organised in order to subvert the US democratic system.
After I'd left a previous employer, I got a phone call from a former coworker to let me know that the boss had nearly exploded the following Monday AM, when he got an email from my account. The system had a 'release' date that you could set on a message, so I'd just configured it to send the following monday to send a thank-you email to my colleagues and managers. The boss thought I'd somehow managed to log in to the system after leaving the company. I guess I could have got into trouble for it, but what the hell, I didn't leave with bad feelings on either part.
For other programming (perl, php, shell scripts), everything pretty much stays the same, except that I don't need a compiler.
I always recommend compiling php files through a program that strips comments and compresses whitespace. There's no need to subject the user to having to download all that chaff, and it gives the web server less work to do.
The DMCA protects technological measures that control access to a protected work. In copyright law, access = acquisition, so it properly protects things like password systems on web sites. Access is not the same as use, and the abuses of the DMCA so far have been in it's application to protect use control mechanisms. However, the code that stops you accessing the data on the hard drive, data to which you have no legal right of access under copyright law (good old, pre-DMCA copyright law), is rightly protected by the DMCA.
An advert might annoy you, yet cause you to be more likely to buy the product. I can sense you getting annoyed right about now, but I'm talking in general, not specifically about you. I buy Sprite when I'm thirsty - but I really don't know if it's because of the "Obey your thirst" adverts or not. They annoy me, but maybe it is.
I would like to call your attention to the fact that the character sequence "it's" is a macro that is expanded by the preprocessor to the sequence "it is".
I believe that "it's" in this context actually derives from "it has", indicating the posessive. The expanded form is archaic and does not make literal sense any more, but the apostrophe remains.
I'm a UK citizen, and I support the EFF. I don't meet Larry's exacting standards, but agree with the OP about the profit issue. I was going to post the same point if no-one else had. The reason I keep a close eye on US legal issues and support the EFF is that we usually get the same problems a few years after the US. Nip it in the bud, so to speak.
It is perfectly legal for me to copy an equation out of my favorite physics textbook when writing another book/paper/etc.
Not if copying it requires you to circumvent access controls on the copyrighted book that the non-copyrightable equation is in. The protection is on the lock, not the use to which you will put the key, and the lock is protected by law even if it locks up more than just copyrightable material. It sucks, but that's the stupid law that your government passed, and we're about to get a worse one. And we don't have a 'first amendment' that it can be challenged under.
Owning circumvention devices isn't, as I understand it, illegal.

I agree, hack an air traffic control system and you should be punished severely. But guess what, people can already be charged with reckless endangerment or attempted murder. We don't need special laws that impose increased penalties based on some hot-button issue of the day. To do so, implies that we are under-sentencing crimes committed by other means.
It does get publicity in the audience of potential offenders, though. It gets headlines on Wired, Slashdot, etc., so there can be no doubt that if a college kid hacks a hospital computer system and crashes the intensive care system, they can be considered to have known what they were getting themselves into.

I can't see anything wrong with what's in that article.
In the director's commentary to Fight Club, they point out that "Jack's" cold breath in the ice cave is actually Leonardo di Caprio's from Titanic. I wonder if this is why.
If the TCPA will run Linux, but only build of Linux that have been created by TCPA-authorised companies, then that might be a solution that is acceptable to governments and big business. It leaves you and I in the shitter, though. However, TCPA is supposed to run legacy software, so how is it going to tell whether this build of Linux is pre-TCPA or not? Is it going to check the timestamps on the files? Unlikely, and easily bypassed.
Trusted Computing is set to accelerate the growth of the information economy. Opt out - and be in third world of information economies. Opt in - and find yourself amongst existing cartels of trust.
although they do accept that there are criticisms and concerns:
Ross Anderson is a leading cryptographer and authority on the interaction between security and economics. He has written on the dangers that TCPA holds for privacy, for consumer rights, for competition policy, for innovation and for small business.
Let's say I can make $4N ethically and legally, and $6N by screwing my customers.
That involves having to calculate what the profits would be without the cheating. What I think the OP means is that half of the $6N would be taken, that being the profit from the illegal action.
Fortunately for the galaxy in questions, the Statute of Limitations protects it from prosecution, unless it can be brought under the jurisdiction of Michigan.

I know that several countries have timezones on the half-hour relative to GMT, such as Iran, so you should be able to get at least 26 celebrations in!

Amen, brother. As long as you don't live in a UCITA state in the US.
then hand back what the courts tell you to.
