I am a filmmaker and I have been shooting some low/low budget shorts. Does anyone know if there is a similar clearinghouse for indie music that i can license for my short films
I have a pretty advanced cell phone already. I am WAY beyond line of sight. I can actually enter a 7-digit number and find out what is playing at a theater FROM MILES AWAY! BTW this feature works for nearly any theater in the country.
I read an interesting article in the New York times last week that sheds a little light on the practice of filing for these obviously ridiculous patents. Evidently companies are using these useless patents by donating them to universities or organizations and taking a huge tax write off for it. It is starting to make more sense now. $4000 (US) to "research" and file the patent, and then if they happen to get it, donate it to a college and write off the "Value" at $800,000.00! A very large profit without ever having to enforce an obviously unenforceable patent.
The major complaint of characters in film is that they are stereotypical or iconic. To an extent, his is necessary from a storytelling perspective. Once the icon has been established, the characters should be fleshed out and made more interesting.
The problem with this question is that is flawed in the exact same way that the criticized portrayals are flawed. You are basically saying that all software programmers are one particular type and that type has not been accurately portrayed.
All software programmers are different. Some are reclusive, unsanitary, pizza-eating geeks and some are not!
Please remember that there are many reclusive, unsanitary, pizza-eating geeks that couldn't write a line of code to save their lives.
I am a filmmaker and am divided on this issue. I do not believe in censorship and also believe in the rights of consumers to do what they want with their media. My issue is an artistic one. If I (along with 100 of my closest friends) spend a year writing, 2 months shooting and another year editing a movie then I am pretty sure THAT is how I want my movie to be seen. I don't want the religious-right to come in when it is all over and decide how my movie should have been made. This is not about copyright ownership, It's about artists intent.
If you don't want to see "offensive" material, then start your own country. Oh, we already did. Well in that case, MAKE YOUR OWN (expletive deleted) MOVIE!
The truly unfortunate thing here is the future of www.museumtour.com. A huge company like SBC comes along and starts throwing its legal weight around and this poor company will be crushed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent defending the entire internet will be a huge burden and possibly destroy the company. On the other hand, If they give in and pay the license, they set terrible precedent.
The BS WILL eventually blow over. People WILL still be able to use their links. But, the unknown is whether www.museumtour.com, the random-target website, will survive.
If Ebay was somehow responsible for every feedback left on their site, they would shut down rather quickly. Fortunately these kinds of lawsuits are being thrown out of court at a pretty good pace (most recently Obesity v. McDonalds)
Ebay clearly states: "WARNING: Once placed, comments cannot be retracted. If you later change your mind about someone, you may leave a follow-up comment to explain the misunderstanding. See the Feedback Forum for an explanation about how your comments affect a user's feedback rating....
eBay cannot remove a comment once it is submitted, nor edit a user's feedback profile. For this reason, we encourage you to contact your trading partner directly by email or by telephone before leaving a negative feedback comment."
The purpose of the ebay feedback system it to create social governance. If you have one or two negative feedbacks out of a hundred or so, I will still buy from or sell to you. If, however, you have a 50% negative feedback I will not. That is the point.
I don't think that the decision to donate to charity is a disrespectful decision of the RIAA intended to put us in our place. I am sure that once the settlement reaches $5 per individual the cost of distributing the settlement funds becomes prohibitive. The RIAA still has to pay the settlement. It is just distributed to one entity rather than a million individual $0.35 checks.
I noticed that you left a clever and insightful comment on www.slashdot.org. Your comment about Creepy (score 5) made me really think. It also reminded me of another funny thing I read called Ziggy's rainy sunday. If you haven't read it, you should. You can get it at www.amazon.com if you are interested. I hope you enjoy the book and have a great day.
P.S. thanks again for your really great comment about creepy (score 5)!
I think that the marketing strategy could work itself out with the masses constantly being bombarded with "digital" buzzwords. Regardless of the quality people will still follow. As for the profitability, they require a lower percentage of returns because they are charging more ($16) for something that could cost less than a disposable film camera AND the prints could be from an expensive printer rather than a much-more-expensive photo processor.
I agree that the hack is the interesting angle. Once they are hacked and I can create my own adaptor to download the images, I essentially have a $16 digital camera that I'm not afraid to put in a bag and take SCUBA diving, or take surfing.
I'd like to go a step further and apply data forensics to the hack by recovering the images of the previous user before I use it. Found art! (I guess I should register "www.littlebrotheriswatching.com" as a repository)
Slashdot Mirror
To perform or display a work 'publicly' means:
(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or
(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.
I'll stick to the $20 version too
1) Pop3 receive and (now) send via a drop down menu in the compose view.
2) There are NO ads in the yahoo mail area.
3) great new disposable email service for web transaction other than friends and family

Iâ(TM)m guessing that the next big computer worm will plant a Celine Dion song on your computer and then send an âanonymous tipâ(TM) to the RIAA.
Presumably, the reason parents aren't able to maintain a close trust-building connection to their kids its that they are too busy.
Yet...they have time to program their Sprint "Orwell's Friends and family" plan and change the parameters every time their kid goes to the mall.

It's a joke. Thanks.
There aren't enough kittens in the world for this kind of technology.
Actually, I believe that they will still call it "Lupin III". It's much easier to make a profit by producing a sequel.
