Since they were busted for *indirectly* being responsible, lets also go after microsoft. If it wasnt for them being an enabler, then ed2k wouldnt exist.
Oh, dont forget the internet backbone carriers for providing the bandwidth, dell for the computer, seagate for the drives that allow them to store the illegal content.
And while they are checking, be sure to run across any pirated music or software or 'banned information' ( which varies from country to country ) that might just happen to be on their drive. Chalk it up to collateral damage.
And dont tell me that the average TOR user is 100% innocent.. Sounds like its mostly an excuse for a fishing expedition.
It would be a simple manner of disabling the transmitter via code, using something like a DVD region code or something so you dont have to produce 2 models.
AM is still a huge business here in the states ( i would imagine the largest market for ipod other then Japan ), and if you go to the expense of adding an FM receiver, including AM isn't much of a cost increase.
And while i understand it might be illegal for you to have a itrip, i also tend to ignore stupid laws myself
Where have you been? This has been happening for years.
Personally i think it should be made illegal, as your credit ablity has no bearing on if you can flip burgers or write good code. But, in this country, corporations wants trump citizens rights.
He better hope he's 100% clean While with the case at point he may be safe, what if his daughter copied a Brittany spears album down and there is no proof of purchase?
Who is 100% clean in this world, we ALL have something we can be nailed for if one searches hard and long enough. And the RIAA/MPAA/BSA/HSD/whatever has the time and money to grind you into the ground finding that one shred of evidence that can put you away. Unless of course you give up along the way, like most of the common folk have to do.
And OT: i don't think you can countersue ( and win ) unless the case is declared frivolous. If they had enough evidence to warrant the suspicion ( and they do ), then i doubt you can sue. ( if im wrong im sure ill be corrected several times )
They have enough evidence to start proceedings, but not enough to prove guilt. So they ask for more with the discovery. This is also seen in other types of cases, so its not unheard of.
The discovery might even entail impounding his entire home, and all his assets for 'review'. A good 'threat' to cause him to settle out of court like everyone else has. Does he have the balls for it? The RIAA has nothing to lose by a war of attrition. He does. ( we all do )
I thought they had none, according to the last case i heard of the government/school searching students at will. " children do not have the same rights as adults "...
this seems sort of silly. What if the kid lies? Do they need to start collecting DNA and verify against the national database? Hope that no adult shares their account with a kid, or a stolen CC is used?
Take this far enough and NO site will able to function taht has any age requirement. Oh wait, but its for the kids, and can raise taxes.. lets go push this thru!
Take this one step more, and build your own from scratch. Let the cops figure *that* one out.
If you dont like soldering, use a FPGA with a custom written cpu + hard code protection. "Sorry officer, i cant remember the machine lanaguge on that machine due to all the stress of this investigation".

Moron.
That only works in a criminal case. These are civil cases.
Is visiting the edonkey site enough to constitute intent to infringe and bring the wrath of the man down on you?
the next time i hear or see the words ' rich experience' im going to scream.
But, wouldnt each particle that gets absorbed increase the size of the blackhole, causing it to be more powerful and suck in even more?
Sure it might take thousands of years, but i dont see it not being a threat at all.
Criminal : State proves beyond a resonable doubt you are guilty.
Civil: You prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are innocent.
What you propose would be consider withholding evidence, and push your case from a civil manner into the relm of prison time felony..
THey dont even need to know the contents in that case. You lose by default on the RIAA case, and you get contempt of court to boot.
Its a better idea to kill your drive before they come for it. accidents do happen.
And while they are checking, be sure to run across any pirated music or software or 'banned information' ( which varies from country to country ) that might just happen to be on their drive. Chalk it up to collateral damage.

The potential employer wont even ask, and toss your resume into the can.

Not exactly.
They have enough evidence to start proceedings, but not enough to prove guilt. So they ask for more with the discovery. This is also seen in other types of cases, so its not unheard of.

Its *my* site, i should be able to with i want with it.
If i lose 'disabled' customers, so be it. Unless im accepting fedreal or state funds ( or want a governmental contract ) to hell with their 'rules'.
Supposedly it will in 'team edition', though ive not tried it yet.
While an FM reciever is cool, a built in transmitter would be even better.
And speaking of FM, why hasnt anyone made one with a AM receiver?
I thought they had none, according to the last case i heard of the government/school searching students at will. " children do not have the same rights as adults "...
Lets make up our minds, ok?
this seems sort of silly. What if the kid lies? Do they need to start collecting DNA and verify against the national database? Hope that no adult shares their account with a kid, or a stolen CC is used?

Just follow the money, and the truth will be revealed.
Does this work within visual studio, like a 'regular' microsoft language?
As we move to a single grey/bland architecture, and eventually OS, kicking and screaming.
One word : DRM
All these older machines are exempt from this crap, and you are still free. ( ok, so its really 3 words, but you get the idea )
Take this one step more, and build your own from scratch. Let the cops figure *that* one out.

And this make it less of a waste of $ how? So VC's are wasting more money. yippe skippie
If you have that much to blow, you should be doing something useful. Not tossing it out the window.
Such a waste of money on a 'vacation'. Could have given it to me instead. Id have done something of value with it.
