because I don't have a pornograph to play it on.;)
All kidding aside, I think this is just FUD, because Kazaa & kazaa Lite can filter the Adult Content from the search results. This would be like saying that there should be the same laws governing Web Browsers & Servers. The RIAA can kiss mah grits.
It's currently being hit by a massive DDoS. Not all sobig.f viruses managed to collect the executable from their targets last night, but those who have are thrashing sco.com left right and centre.
Not always, the caller ID displays Unavailiable, No data, or some other message for most if not all telemarketers come up and for some if not most cell phone calls, heck, even some calls from another area has displayed that message. Thus, you won't know if it's a tele-marketer or if it's a family member calling from a cell phone half of the time until you pick up the phone.
Going by your logic (which, unfortunantly, is the RIAA's logic as well), I shouldn't be able to copy my music from any analogue sources(Vinyl, cassette, 8-track) to cd, even for my own personal use.
Yeah, make your own music, give it away on kazaa or gnutella, and still get sued by the RIAA because to them, how do they know whether or not it's Copyrighted music. Remember, the RIAA doesn't want any competition.
For 1, please do a little spellchecking "as in, how can you 'raed' on prohibition" people will take you more seriously, and 2, the person was talking about if Corporate America gets a hold of marijuana, then there is numerous ways that they could ruin it like "Big Tobacco" has ruined tobacco.
What I mean by it is cigarettes originally started in the siege of Acre, during the Napoleonic Wars in the 1830s, and the first time it was in widespread use in the US was during the Civil War. That was when the tobacco in cigarettes was pure.
Then in the 1940s it became commercialized, and Corporations began adding additives here and there so people would inhale the cigarette smoke so they would become addicted. Now there is over 600 Chemicals in cigarette tobacco, just to keep people addicted.
So imagine what Corporate America will do with marijuana, I can just see someone addicted to both THC and nicotine.
I think that's the point jcsehak was trying to make.
Going by your logic, since it's impossible to "copy" a physical object such as a pencil or a McDonalds Hamburger, it should be Illegal to copy music that I own for My own personal use, because that would be "Stealing" as well, because that's also against the Copyright Holder's wishes.
ÂÂÂÂÂActually, I see that you failed to mention Moderate , after all, everything is not just "Black & white", There are a lot of things that has a Grey area.
For example, on the extreme left, you have people that are in favor of abortion, including Partial Birth abortion, then you have people in this grey area that are for a woman's choice, up to a certain point, and just have a ban on Partial birth abortion"Which, IMO, is equal to murder" and other people that want to ban Abortion"Except in special circumstances like when the mother's life is threatened", then on the Extreme Right there are people that are in favor of a Total Ban on abortion no matter what the circumstances are.
Another example is on the right there are people that wants to give nothing "or have anything that helps" the poor, there are people in this grey area that thre should be programs to people that really need it,and on the left there are people that just want to give everything away.
The Problem in this country is that More and more people are going to extremes "as in Extreme Staunch Liberal or Extreme Staunch Conservative"
I have to somewhat agree with what JWW said, it's not a party issue.
It doesn't matter if the person is Democrat, republican, libertarian, or Green. Eventually, unless they are honest and humble, they will give in to the pressure of Special Interest Groups and pass laws similar to the DMCA and the PDEA.
Remember, Universal is a part of the IDSA as well, not just because of Blizzard, but Universal themselves made 31 Coin-Op Games in the 1980s. and we all know how lawsuit happy Universal is.
Except, this has nothing to do with the MPAA, this is the RIAA we're talking about. Oh, about Boycotts, I have not bought any cds in the past 2 Years "Except, perhaps, blank CDs", I get my music in Analog form now "I.E. 8-Track, Vinyl Albums, Cassette", and not a single penny goes to the RIAA.
The problems are 1. The Teens and Pree-Teens cant "or at leat think they can't" do without the cookie cutter boy and girl bands
2. Even if everyone were to stop pirating their music, the RIAA would still blame the loss of sale on pirating. "And, I imagine the RIAA would consider my activities of copying music from an analog format to a digital format for my own personal use a form of piracy."
ADHD isn't a disorder, it's more of a type of personality, you might notice that computers (assuming you're a geek) or anything you enjoy can hold you attention with no problem. It's just the other stuff - stuff not of your choosing, may seem to bore you. In this boredom, you get "off-topic" and you begin to think about other topics.
I think SCO is trying to claim complete copywright control over all Unices as being derivatives from the original AT&T System V code.
This is beginning to sound more and more like a Micro$oft sponsored attack against any operating system that is even remotly posix compliant. If that is true, then that will completely ruin Linux, BSD, OSX, and even other Unices.
Once that happens, Micro$oft Windoze will have no Competition whatsoever.
Going by your logic, that means Moz should be able to run on a C64* or a C128 (*with a Maxed Out Super CPU, Ramlink, and a HDD).
Since a SCPU has 16MB of Ram and a 20Mhz W65C816S, so logically, it would be comparable to a 320Mhz Pentium with 256 MB of Memory in the PC world, heck with that logic, it might even be possible to port M$ Windoze XP to the SCPU then.;)
Seems the two industries back at the turn of the century tried to pool their patents to block out competition like the RIAA and the big media companies today pool their copyrights.
Because of those patents, Starr-Gennett "along with several other companies" were sued in the early Nineteen-Twenties, which the the American Graphophone Company (Columbia) and the Victor Talking Machine Co. Lost.
The Second Circuit Court of appeals held the patent void for lack of invention and for abandonment.
Not only did the lawsuit effectively end the majors' monopolization of lateral recording, it formed a bond between the smaller companies which had joined the Gennetts in the legal battle. Leasing arrangements between the companies followed, eventually involving hundreds of masters.
The problem is, even if there is Strong evidence that Microsoft is in with SCO, nothing will happen to them "Except, perhaps, a slap on the wrist" because of Dubya's regi^h^h^h^hAdministration.
Just look at what happened with the Anti-Trust Case against Micro$oft.
in this case, groups like AOL Time Warner, Microsoft, eBay and the RIAA--to exert political influence.
Sound's to me like there might be a revival of the CBDTPA, and from the way it looks, it looks like Micro$oft is in support of it, as well as the RIAA. The Conservative Republicans are probably against it right now, but, all it would take is for Micro$oft to bri^h^h^hLobby the Conservative Republicans, and that means Both Parties will support the CBDTPA "Or whatever it will be called next", and if that were to happen, ALL non Micro$oft operating systems will be Illegal because Micro$oft owns the patent on DRM in the OS.
The XXAA & Microsoft would get their way where they can eliminate ALL competition, once that happens, All Movies will go to a PAy-Per-View model, All music will go to a Pay-Per-Listen model, and Software will go to a Pay-Per-use License.

Actually, there already is a GEOS patch, it's called wheels 64 and Wheels 128. Another is MegaPatch 3.
We'd all be reduced to writing on stone tablets by fire!
Nah, I think SCO owns the patent on Stone Tablets as well.

It must be the universal translators that Gene Roddenberry had installed on all T.V. sets for Star Trek.

Netscape 7.1 features many improvements over 7.02 including even better CSS support

You Mean that I can watch my DVDs in Netscape 7.1? Better not let the MPAA know about it.
Actually, a parody of Harry Potter would be more in the line of "Harry Pottey and the Sorcerer's Throne".
Harry Potter and Leopard-Walk-Up-to-Dragon is just a rip off and the rest are just harry potter clones, not parodies.
