That friend of yours needs to be running updated antivirus on his servers, or get what ever patches are out there, or he deserves to be blacklisted when his server gets a trojan.
No, because if everyone switched over to Linux, we'd have all the virus writers writing viruses just for different systems, there would still be inept admins running systems, and users that don't follow any kind of safe work habits.
You know, I'm sure that they are also trying to kill Jews with these caps somehow.
Also, the average user isn't downloading several hundred megs of updates from Microsoft a day, unlike the person who is trying to download ever episode of MST3K available...
Differance being of course, that Mr. Adams had an entire section of the workforce devoted to going around and sanatizing phones, not just little wipes sitting on the desk.
I mean, it's cable fucking TV, so they want you to buy a TV for it to work...
whoop-ti-shit
I'd love to see how some of you people live. I can picture it now. I'd walk in to the kitchen, see a mesh of coat hangers with some bread stuck to them jammed into an electric socket. I'd ask what the hell it was and recieve the reply, "Oh, that's my Open Source Toaster"
I'm not exactly sure how I-tunes works, but I believe that you are paying not only to download the song, but also for thier service.
While I guess he could sell the copy that he downloaded, however, the portion in I-tunes that states that he is the owner is on the Apple server I believe, and not really his. I believe that is where the problem would lie.
Can he sell the account on someone elses computer?
I believe that the only way that would work is if someone else installed it on your computer without your knowing, and thus, you never knew about any violations to the EULA.
Along these same lines, I don't think that turning your back and telling your little sister to click the I Agree button would work...
When you agree to the TOS on the I-tunes, you are agreeing to any conditions they give you. If they wish to put in their TOS that in order for you to use their service you give up certain rights, then guess what, when you sign it, you voluntary give up those rights.
The usual theory has been that Windows gets all the attacks because almost everybody uses it.
The reason that windows gets all these attacks is because they are a huge corporation and Bill Gates is the richest man alive.
Linux and Mac OS are just as easy to write viruses for, but nobody gives a damn about them because they are The Great Computer Satan that Microsoft supposedly is.

100% of all people that the death penalty has been used on, have never committed again.

Especially when you consider that we have a current coal burning plant that said they could add 90,000 homes just by replacing some fan blades.
This may work for a small community, but unless every small community is planning on building a nutplant, they have a very long way to go.

All the bums who don't want to pay for anything and just want handouts will go to Canada.
All the Canadians who feel that they aren't getting paid for their skills will come the the US and work.
Canada gets bums, the US get Doctors and Scientists, I'm fine with that, really.
oh, you mean that this will prevent people from stealing cable?

And godwin rolls over in his grave...
as long as what ever troll bid the $9700 actually pays...
Exactly!
The TOS states that the user has no comercial rights to the downloaded music.
I'm pretty sure that there is nothing in there that says that you may not sell yourself, other than laws governing the sale of human organs that is.
Now, finding a buyer would be the tough part, as anybody who buys or takes ownership of you, is breaking the law.
Plus this:
Still, I'm a geek and will do my best to make sure you can listen this fine song.
pretty much is breaking the part about circumventing the protection.

Considering that shipping your first born would violate the rights of the child who agreed to nothing...
Many contracts like these contain clauses that states that certain terms or conditions can be changed.
Normally you are asked to resign the TOS or they lock your account out.
Well...
Maybe to you...

However, is he actually going to get the money? Is some slashdot troll going to actually fork over the $50 that he just bid?
However, anybody stupid enough to pay $20 for an MP3 is a moron.
