Too late. A certain extremely large software company has already patented the banana ice cream Coke float (as well as a number of variations involve diet and Pepsi applications) in order to provide its programmers a permanent competitive advantage.
Any time you use high-energy waves to do a scan, and at a length of 1mm these are 300Ghz+ high energy waves, you run the risk of increased cancer. After researching the web, there does not seem to be much debate or easily locatable research on the direct health risks of this technology versus the security risk it supposedly addresses.
You don't even need to opt out -- if you leave graphical preview options turned on in your html, the spammers can use uniquely named graphical images to confirm your email address is valid.
It seems to me that "copyright" refers, in the most straightforward way possible, to the "right to copy." There are no copies being made in this case. It is simple, exclusive transfer of one embodiment of a book's content, convenient embedded in the physical, tangible medium of dead tree.
No copy, no outrage.
But the lawyers are getting paid, so as usual they will entertain the self-serving legal theories of their clients with dignity and care until such time as they lose or go broke.
How about the ethics of the US military taking the whole male population between 14-60 of an entire city of over 400,000 people, not permitting them to leave prior to battle, then destroying 3/4 of the city?
Oh yeah, it was in "response" to the murder of 4 contractors. Let's be "fair and balanced" here in respect to Mr. Murdoch's fans.
It was a mass-murder, not a war fight. It was a genocidal act of criminal cowardice by Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and their ilk. And we are supposed to go be rah-rah patriots and buy Konami's philosophy and story, let alone their game?
It's blood money. It's the most shameful act of despicable racism by the US military in this entire sham war. And any so-called patriot who defends this is defending a war crime.
Konami: there are no words to describe the level of shame to which your company has gone to make money from a massive crime in what is already a crooked criminal war of racism against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 or Al-Qaeda.
The "them" will "do" what they can to steal an election here and there. And no refunds shall be due to you -- since of course you didn't get a receipt now, did ya?

It may be that guitar tabs are not fair use because they wholesale copy copyrighted work. Because there is usually a financial aspect to these sites, they remain prime targets for non-fair-use (unfair) claims.
I've seen a lot of success with my hybrid site Sheet Music Archive offering a combination of locked and unlocked (by subscription) offerings of classical sheet music beyond the copyrightable term.
However, we have seen some "free" sites copy our presumably copyrighted PDF scans (presumably to us, at least) claiming the internal content is public domain. There is an open legal question whether specific editions of public domain work are separably copyrightable. We'd like to think so although I'd be curious to know what legal precedents are known to the Slashdot community.
Stand outside the store with a big sign ("ASK ME HOW PC WORLD RIPPED ME OFF") and patiently explain to everyone coming by what happened.
The manager will be out in 15 minutes to kiss your ass clean.
they may or may not rehire you but they will be on the hook for a settlement. no questions asked. if those dumboes messed around with your personal email account, making them cough up hush money is as easy as embarrasing them with a big poster attached to your vehicle that you park just outside of company territory where employees coming and leaving work can get the whole story.
then you combine that with any credible threat of court action (hire a lawyer, have him/her file papers -- without letting the lawyer necessarily convince you to keep pushing just so he/she can rack up fees) and they will virtually be forced to cave.
employers generally have to maintain an image of basic human decency. poking around your personal email is scummy enough to the point where even if they don't have any ethical concerns (they apparently do not) the all-negative ramifications from having their behavior exposed will generate its own counterforce that will operate in your favor.
I was falsely accused by two police officers of poking one of them in the chest during an incident 4 years ago in my town.
It happened 4 years ago and they have LITERALLY adjourned the trial 20 times. It has not gone to trial.
TWENTY TIMES. Forget due process. Cops can lodge any fake excuse and commit financial, economic and criminal terrorism by dragging people into court (I have so far racked up $10,000 in lawyer bills in adjournments).
The reason why they falsely accused me was because I complained on-the-spot that they committed "POLICE BRUTALITY!" when they took a guy and 1) put his face on the pavement 2) one of them sat on his back 3) the other pepper sprayed him (twice) in the face while his mouth was on concrete
I have an extensive experience in physics, biology and medicine, and knew immediately that this NON-STANDARD application of pepper spray in this situation involving physical confinement could have caused RAPID POSITIONAL ASPHYXIATION.
There was a kid who got killed by cops a few towns over through pepper spray + physical confinement causing positional asphyxiation. It happens because pepper spray is a vaso-dilator which which basically inflame your lung tissue if it gets in there, basically stopping you from being able to breathe. The correct way that police officers are trained to use pepper spray is 1) always at a distance of 2+ feet, 2) never on someone who is physically confined.
Although I've assembled an array of eyewitnesses and a list of trial defects (my destroyed due process of 20 adjournments in very non-speedy municipal court, plus the police officers "loss" of radio-recording evidence when, within 10 seconds of them leaving me handcuffed in the back of the squad car, I fought for my life by Harry Houdiniing my way out of flexi-cuff-confinement and actually GETTING ON THE RADIO IN THE FRONT TO PUBLICLY ACCUSE THEM RIGHT THEN AND THERE OF PEPPER SPRAYING A NON-RESISTING SUBJECT -- that embarrased the crap out of them and I swear to God it was the funniest thing in the world seeing those losers RUN LIKE OLYMPIC SPRINTERS BACK TO THE CAR -- they marked the evidence in their report and then lost it) have planned out an FMRI court strategy to defend myself and savage their yellow-bellied lying perjuring fraudulent facsimilies of law-enforcement careers in the process.
Did I mention that the police chief in this town is -- LITERALLY -- a boxing promoter? Now, boxing is fine, I suppose -- but isn't it a bit weird that the chief of police sells boxing tickets to kids at half-price (to watch police officers punch each other) for a fundraiser? Is he trying to seed the market for crime or something? My town's police force is basically a bunch of undisciplined fat punks who got jobs as police officers because someone beat the crap out of them as youngsters and now they need their projection-revenge.
I am combining my court case with a public fax, email and media challenge aspect of flat-out accusing them of being bald-faced, lying, perjuring fraud and challenging them, upon pain of public dishonor, to a brain scan -- why? So there is a hugely public court-of-public opinion aspect to them slinking away like cowards (I'm too good at PR to let them play the dignity card).
Why does my town need this?
1) falsely accusing innocent people of things they did not do is a crime 2) something really bugs me about having a Marine reservist cop (the sitter) who blows 14-year olds brains out in Baghdad in the name of the US Constition while he desecrates the Bill of Rights back home on South Street. 3) something really bugs me about having another cop (the pepper spray main torturer) come up with every personal excuse in the book (the

Apparently Microsoft developed a very powerful pop-up blocking technology (NOCOM) that they could not integrate into Internet Explorer due to anti-trust concerns (after all, SOMETHING had to be NOT integrated into the operating system). Thankfully, they managed to repurpose it into Hotmail, thereby avoiding a total loss of their investment.
In other news, Bush administration officials have created 1.2 million new jobs by hiring unemployed Americans to close pop-ups windows for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whose new supercomputer will be used to study nuclear bombs, the weather, and the dynamics of carpal tunnel syndrome.
