...sounds like OpenSource Last Paragraph "Microsoft has some ideas (on how to break the independence on HTTP), IBM has some ideas, and others have ideas. We'll see," he said. But, he added, "if one vendor does it on their own, it will simply not be worth the trouble"
what about not having Vendors work on anything and let those who remember the good old days of low level protocol work do it. You know. Experience. Open source. More trusted. The last thing we need is IBM, Microsoft and others beefing up a protocol to use Digital Copyright Enforcement
It's true. The number one place to kill ideas now is not the offender but the ISP of the so called offender.... Imagine "Hello Mr Bush. My name is Steve Johnson Legal Counsel of North Korea. After your State of the Union Address you have left us with no recourse but to contact your backbone provider Sprint to report your abuses of it's services. Consider this your Cease and Desist letter.
Good Day"
it's pathetic but anybody who disagrees with anything you say just has to contact who is hosting/providing/carrying your traffic with a big scary legal letter and voila... you're shutup without so much as a word in sidewise. Of course I have no objection to blocking child pornographic sites.... there's a not so fine line between art and child porn.

Why? To make illegal copies? no. To bypass any copyright laws? no. Because I want to make my OWN GBA games. An emulator is fine for testing on your PC how the game is coming along but there comes a time when you need to test on hardware.
1. I'm not a big company so I'm not able to get an SDK kit from Nintendo 2. I couldn't afford it if I was able to 3. I don't want to make games for the hardware. Just as a hobby. At most for people to download and play... you know.. to give them something to do with the emulator besides illegal roms.
I'm fortunate enough to work for a person who understands that she doesn't fully understand everything. However, just because she doesn't understand everything doesn't mean she doesn't want to know what's going on. When it comes to technical she asks us... We tell her our honest opinion / timeframe and she doubles it. As for the politics she handles it for us. We code. She keeps balance. it's a perfect relationship.
I know this is more of a statement of my scenario than of what to do. But if you can do what she does then you're sure to do good. Not to mention that only techies can make good middle-management as long as those non-techies understand that they don't have to understand or fake understanding everything.
What would be interesting about this project/experiment would be for psychologists to see how these children react to this scenario.
Will they only work with those in their (region | ethnicity | village)?
Will they contribute the same kind of ideas based on their ethnicity?
I'm not certain what the project is about or its purpose but I do believe it would be interesting to see what other information could be gleaned from it.
I don't trust TrustE to the extent that I'll modify my client to accept who they say is legit.
Here's an idea I think would help though. Each person makes up a 4 digit code. Then they run that through a program that takes the code and the senders email address and outputs a unique string ID just for that sender or perhaps for all senders from a particular domain. Then when they want to sign up for an email they put the following text. Please add this line to the subject... etc. etc. Maybe sites that have opt-in email lists can offer for them to add that. This way only those sites that have your permission will have the string. And it won't work for them to sell that string to spammers because it is based off of the senders address. Yes. I know there are probably a million flaws in the idea but it puts who you trust in your hands... not TrustE or another agency.
The comment is true. we can't compete with the lobbying power of the RIAA or the MPAA. But.... consider this. We may not be able to compete with them but that doesn't mean we need to fuel it either. All of are extending their power. How so? By buying products from those companies that are a part of or contribute to the RIAA etc. Don't boycott Adobe... although it wouldn't hurt. Boycott every company that supports the RIAA. Destroy it's financial backing and they can't afford the lobbyist. No lobbyist no Congress passing laws in favor of it. In fact. What would be a good use is to take that 20 dollars you were going to spend on a Madonna CD or George Straight and contribute it to the EFF and company for the purpose of paying for Lobbyist. How do you kill a fire? By removing the fuel.
They're not trying to push their point of view on us ( the consumer ). They're looking out for our best interest. That's right boys and girls. It's in your best interest in this slumping economy to pump money into our (the Recording Industry) wallets so we can further employ workers in Malaysia and Korea.
By doing this we boost our economy. Wow. I think these people have been doing their figures using Good old pentium ones with Fp errors.
For example. If the government could put a device in all manufactured guns that would allow them to disable it when they felt it necessary e.g. shootout then do you think those who will commit crimes are going to purchase those guns?
They'll just purchase rigged guns. I mean come on people. It's a stupid question to begin with.
What if I use my car to traffic illegal drugs. Will the DEA target GE or Ford?
What if I use a copymachine to make copies of a page in a book. Will the author sue Xerox?
And... BTW. I would love to see who they surveyed. Who in their right mind would say "Yeah, I burned music onto a CD that I got off of the Internet" to a surveyor with all this stuff with Napster and others going on?
But. Alas. This is just my opinion. And as we can paraphrase for the RIAA "consumer opinion doesn't count"
"It seems likelier to me that peer- to-peer will converge on standards pioneered by the Web services people, rather than on standards arising directly out of the peer-to-peer world."
That should be rephrased as
"It seems likelier to me that peer- to-peer will converge on standards pioneered by Microsoft and TimeWarner, rather than on standards arising directly out of the needs of the peer-to-peer client world."
It's obvious that Linux is permeating everything. I personally am glad to see that the Open Source movement is intruding on more of Microsoft's supposed holy patented ground (http://www.theonion.com/onion3311/microsoftpatent s.html). I wonder how Microsoft will show that UltimateTV is better because it isn't Open Source:).
That's under the assumption that more manpower is the solution. There is a happy medium where manpower and output are @ their best. When you add more and more developers you may even hit a point where you are counterproductive IMHO.
Company copyrights a technological form of encryptiong.
Somebody breaks it. Company has the legal right to sue.
so.... if I create an encryptiong alg. copyright it. and then use it to send illegal info. Does the FBI have the right to try and break it. or can I sue good ol Uncle Sam???

Just my not so humble or worthy opinion
If you think about it wouldn't even really help.
For example. If the government could put a device in all manufactured guns that would allow them to disable it when they felt it necessary e.g. shootout then do you think those who will commit crimes are going to purchase those guns?

Just my Humble Opinion
It's obvious that Linux is permeating everything.

I wonder how Microsoft will show that UltimateTV is better because it isn't Open Source :).
In this economy.
McDonalds will be suing the lady that got her lap burned for pointing out a flaw in their cup design.
Beta testers will need legal counsel for finding bugs in beta sofware
and...
Mabeline will sue Tammy Fae Baker for showing that makeup can't hide the truth. that yo ugly.
That's under the assumption that more manpower is the solution. There is a happy medium where manpower and output are @ their best. When you add more and more developers you may even hit a point where you are counterproductive IMHO.
BTW. I do know how to spell encryption :)
Ok. Let me get this straight.
Company copyrights a technological form of encryptiong.
Somebody breaks it. Company has the legal right to sue.
so.... if I create an encryptiong alg. copyright it. and then use it to send illegal info. Does the FBI have the right to try and break it. or can I sue good ol Uncle Sam???
Just curious.
