This has come up before, and here is the *correct* answer, and yes I did ask a lawyer (a friend, but still a lawyer. He even spent 45 minutes on it to ensure he was correct):
If the copyright owner connects to a torrent, there is no inherited permission implied to use or distribute on the entire dataset. Only the parts you receive from the copyright owner are legitimate, the other parts received from someone else are still infringing even if they received it from the copyright owner, thus the full item you are receiving is still infringing unless you received the entire dataset from the copyright owner.
The other people distributing the torrent and yourself in no way inherit permission to distribute jsut because the copyright owner is distributing in that manner (which makes sense, just because the copyright owner distributes DVDs doesnt mean you can). Unless of course the copyright owner gives their permission.
Giving you the file in no way implies permission to use it by default, see the halflife2 preloading, you could preload the game without ever purchasing it, to have it activated later on. This does not give you permission to hack that dataset to gain access to the game.
Basically it boils down to this: just because the copyright owner is doing it doesnt give you the right to. Simple enough.
You get loads of money off vouchers through the post with Sainsburys, with their nectar cards I get around £25 of vouchers specific to my purchasing habits around once a month or so, so Im happy with the service.
The US pertains to be free, China does not. Thats the reason people bash the US for human rights violations and civil liberties infringements but dont bash China for it, China doesnt pretend that its country doesnt include those things.
Has it been confirmed that every copy has the same key? It would be trivially easy to switch keys every 100 downloads for Steam, and every X number of boxed copies.
I have, 1.7GHz P4, 512mb ram. Runs like a dog at the bottom of a treacle filled pool, with bricks tied to its ears. Conversly, Itunes on my G3 350mhz Powermac with 192mb ram runs fine, no issues at all.
I have no ports open at all, and Im happily playing HL2 via steam. Didnt even know that you were supposed to open any ports! This is behind a NAT router, without UPNP so nothings adding port forwarding without my knowing about it.
How come they both have the same dead son and Daniel Jackson knew O'Neill in the series 1 episode pilot by sight, as well as several others on Abidos? That and a few other things prove they are the same character in the series and the movie, regardless of the inconsistent spelling of the name.
I dont think they are badly acted, I think they come across as 'real'. None of this acted emotion crap. And the camera work is meant to be like that, its shot in a documentary way, which I kind of like.
From the past few series 8 episodes of SG-1, its really past its prime and struggling to find a decent storyline. The last episode made it painfully obvious what the entire episode was going to be about in the first 5 minutes, and sure enough it was - talk about a filler episode (Teal'c stuck in that gaming chair). I really wish they didnt make another season of it:(
The problem is with faster wind tunnels is that the faster you want the airflow, the lower amount of time that airflow can be reliably sustained. At mach 20, you are talking about a few seconds of airflow at a time, with big buildups inbetween.
Ive heard this a number of times but never understood it, can you ACTUALLY use someone elses credit/debit card in the US? Here in the UK (and throughout Europe I think), you have to be the actual holder of the card to use it, even if you give someone else permission to use it.
No, if you *install* IE without previously purchasing a copy of Windows you are breaking the license agreement, you are more than welcome to download it without anything to run it on, just the same as linux in your post.
The internet is NOT immune to law, this person was libeled, and proved it in court. The judge did as he would do in any other libel case and awarded damaged to the victim, just because this is involved the internet does not make it any different to any of the other thousands of cases that go on each year in courts around the world.
Now, people will say 'oh, but email is notoriously unreliable for purposes of tracking down the origionator', but in most cases that isnt true. You can track email back to the server that sent it, and in this case the victims lawyer managed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that this message origionated from the defendant. And the fact that the defendant didnt even bother turning up to defend himself isnt a plus point in my humble opinion.
You are fine to install steam on multiple PCs and login using the same details. So long as you dont attempt two concurrent online gaming sessions, it should work fine.
Looked myself a few days back....

NeXTSTEP To Mac OS X

and found this which looked to be fairly indepth about the history of the Mac OS, including some information on what was taken from what and went into what.
Considering SunOS is a BSD derived operating system, and that Sun has developed and given a massive amount of opensource sourcecode to the community, I would think that the statement "Sun is founded on opensource" is correct. Opensource is a LOT more than the GPL, but sometimes I think people only see what they want to see. Theres a whole nother world out there, and it isnt GPLed, its BSDLed.
I must disagree. I just attempted 10 searches and had differing search results in both engines, so they do not produce 'almost exactly the same results in the same order'. Maybe the search(es) you tried were blatantly obvious ones which have a lot of reinforcing data behind to produce those similiar result sets? If the engines used a similiar algorithm, then its quite possible they would produce the same results with the same data.
There is an EU rule, but it doesnt pertain to different products, only products that gain value from its particular and unique name. For example Parma Ham needs to come from the Parma region of Italy, or Champagne needs to come from the Champagne region of France, both of these have historical significance. I doubt Budweiser would fall under these rules, as the product doesnt gain any value from a specific name.
Thats interesting, because I buy Budweiser - the American version - here in the UK all the time. And Ive purchased Budweiser - the American version - many times from stores and bars on the continent in the past 3 or 4 years. Ive never heard of this "Amheuser-Busch" tho. I buy it because I like it, as Im not a heavy drinker anyway.
The Olympus engines were also used on the B.2 Vulcan bomber of the Royal Air Force (UK). And yes, this huge delta winged nuclear bomber had the performance similiar to that of a fighter, indeed above 30,000 feet, it could out climb, out dive and out turn every fighter of its day, and it still gave fighters a run for their money below 30,000 feet. Just one of the reasons the test pilots demanded that it was fitted with central stick controls like a fighter rather than standard control columns. One favourite trick of the pilots of this aircraft on the display circuit was to barrel roll the aircraft right off the end of the runway, it had the power to do it.

uhm the preloads are encrypted. Thats one hell of a hack needed.

Country yes, corporation or person, no. Get up there and plant your stake, no international treaty is in your way.

I did read the article actually, but i was looking for more saliant points than the sex of the Judge in question.

Plus the Kazaa spyware was added after these guys sold the origional kazaa on to a third party. Creators != current owners.
