Adaptation is an Original Screenplay, not an Adaptation. This is the point of the movie. Kaufman was unable to adapt The Orchid Thief, so he wrote an original screenplay about the fictional process of him attempting to adapt it. It has (mostly) nothing to do with the actual book... well, somewhat, but it can hardly be considered an adaptation of the book.
Tsk, tsk... makes one wonder if the Academy even watches these films.
i think i can soeak for us all by saying that although all this frequency debate is fine and good, what we'd all rather be able to do is make plutonium using common household items.
If I have a CD and it is stolen, broken, wears out, I can't just send the record company $1.50 to get another copy (since I already paid for the right to own/listen to the music itself). Instead, I have to pay another $20+ to get the music all over again. So, I have to pay for the media *and* the content -- but have no rights over either the media or the content. So if I've paid for both twice and have only one copy, then I should be able to make a copy of the second copy I bought and give it away (since I paid for two existing copies in the world and one is gone).
1. one of the main reasons for recorcable media is the ability to back up what you already have... a smart person would have backed up their original and used the copy until it is "stolen, broken, wears out."
2. if you argue this media/content ownership, where do we draw the line? if you purchase a book, should you be able to duplicate it en masse as you see fit?
as much as you might want to blind yourself to this, the fact remains that we've had copywrite laws for years, and they have never been questioned this much, in this sense, as they have in recent years. why? well, with a book the cost to duplicate it yourself usually out weighs the cost of buying an additional or replacement original (be it the actual tangible costs, or the time consumption costs), but with digital media, it's so cost effective and quick that it becomes much more seductive a venture... and we won't even get into the ethical void that the world has fallen into in recent years, where anyone can rationalize their reasoning for duplication...

46000, and then they decide to take action... that's awful.
What ever happened to "rehabilitation"... I guess some people just can't forgive.
still not usefulful enough to warrent the $1400 price tags...
Even if you haven't seen all of the episodes, you should have seen this. Spike visits the indian for direction in the very first episode...

now i can freak out japanese schoolgirls in perfect understanding of my intentions.
Maybe the BSOD's in FFXI won't be as prevalent as the ones in PSO.
Hmm...
I wonder why Loki isn't around anymore... oh, now I'm beginning to understand.
Now that would be some news.
Yawn...
I work for Sony, and this our only idea as to the killing off of Celine's career. How dare you warn her, have you heard the awful cd?!
hackers or chads... either way we're screwed.
