I say charge him for bandwidth as well! You get spam, track it to its source, send the company a bill for network charges. And make it itemized, and miniscule. $0.11 for charges, overhead, sysadmin time, etc. If enough people did this, then eventually you could destroy his credit rating. After all, who's going to write a cheque for eleven cents?
So the privilege of making backup copies only applies to computer programs
What do you think a cd and dvd are? Try defining both a "Computer program" and a "DVD or CD" in simple terms. Both play on computers, both are binary instructions, yadda yadda...
Being innovative and unique gets you thrown in jail.
Big business does not want independant thinkers, just a mass of sheeple, and when one of those sheeple jump to a higher valence, Big Business and Government is waiting to smack him down.
No, it removes my argument that the DMCA removes our ability to make fair use. Just because I have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars of recording equipment (a friend works at a radio station) does not mean everyone does.
From what I understand of the article, it is a way to provide secure media over an insecure network. Unless it is implemented at every node, it will fail in the fact that insecure content will be available, but will still succeed in allowing a content provider to release information available only to their clients. What happens when a client receives the content and turns around and puts it online unprotected? I don't think that they figured that out yet. Maybe encoded key encryption (like satellite), but even then... If it's playable, it's copyable!
Not to mention the dozens or more different copies. The only way these restrictions will work is if there is active monitoring.
If I rip a cd track and compare it to someone else's rip, it would be different based on algorithm used, filters used to reduce noise and normalize the track, and length of rip. You could profile the music and make a "Tolerance Level" where the song would just have to be close, but would that affect cover bands?
Check this site out. I'm not lying to you. It can be done, although it is a pain in the ass. Not having a SSN does not make you a criminal or a hillbilly or a militant. As far as the no electricity thing, what's this guy run his computer with.
In all reality it is worse. But it's worse for every one. Check out This site to see what you have to go through, but at least in the US, you don't haveto
You don't need a SSN to work in the US. It is a lot of paperwork to wade through, you usually have to educate your employer that one is not necessary, and fill out a million forms to get a job, but you don't actually have to have one to work.
Well, you have to reference it across a couple of other databases, the phone book and a drivers licence database. Thank god the government hasn't figured out the elusive secrets of table joins.
The difference between the japanese and U.S. system is that one has to apply to get one's SSN, where in Japan it's mandatory. In the U.S it's not, and you can function full well without an SSN,
But are there quantifiable planes which mimic the mathematical proof? I mean in 1D space, it's a dot. In 2D space it's a parabola, in 3D space it's a satellite dish. In 4D space is it a moving satellite dish? Does this hold true for higher functions as well? Or am I just talking out of my ass here?

Seriously though, now we're going to have a bunch of pikie nerds roaming the countryside looking for bandwidth.
Nominet seems to be quite the socialist organization (that's a good thing for all you capitalists), and it is a shame that they are thrown into the same ring as ICANN and VeriSign. Should ICANN itself have been run in this fashion, there would not be this problem.
And even though you state that Nominet signed invalidates the argument, giving this power to Nominet has the potential to be good, but giving this power to Verisign had great potential to be bad.
Would I run down a nice guy to hit the six bastards lined up behind him? Damn Skippy I would!
It certainly beats what they are doing here! Not only do we have tiered-pricing dsl (1, 2, & 3 mbit), but they also block off all p2p sharing ports. This is to...prevent the spread of viruses associated with these services... (read: Save money on their access costs). And if that's not enough for the telco's, they're even talking about download quotas. You use up your gigabyte or whatever of downloading this month, now you have to pay for each meg you use over your limit. This two-tiered crap is nothing!
It is easier to get caught in the office than plugging in at Kinkos or at an internet cafe. If I wanted to do some massive damage to a company, walking into a company and smashing the server with a sledge would do more damage than an rm -rf/.
However, having a spy on the inside that's going to provide me with network maps, passwords, and all kinds of sensitive information, maybe run a brute force cracker for me, then give me results, then hey, I can do anything I want! Forget damaging webpages, doing L33t haX0r shit, or e-mailing incriminating evidence to the local paper. I'm going after financial records, bank account numbers, and anything else that I can make a buck or two off of!
Even if they found out what was going on, they still have to find out where it's going on!
