This should be considered fair use. No one is representing the work as their own and the purpose is education and research. This is what freedom of speech is all about, the public's right to know what is going on around them.
Personally I think every vendor should have a standard, versioned EULA like the GPL. That way if I am downloading a new version of Media Player I can see, "that is MS EULA 7.2. That is the one that gives Bill first shot at any woman I marry. Maybe I don't want to install this one."
No 15 year old can afford PhotoShop. No 15 year old can afford MS Office. Yet if they want a computer art job or an office job they'll need to know how to use those programs.
I have a hard time calling them thieves for not being financially successful enough to get that knowledge while remaining within the confines of the copyright laws the corporations purchased.
"If you don't like the law. Change it." I'm working on it. We'll see how I do.
I've been getting a lot of personalized spam messages, politely referring to me as Netcenter or Mr Netcenter. Of course I purchase from these messages because
they refer to me by name,
they are "not spam since you signed up on one of our partner web sites",
and since the "Re:" in the subject line of "Re: Cheap viagra" obviously refers to a message I sent them earlier.
The RIAA boycott did do something. It resulted in lower sales which RIAA claims is caused by people downloading their music for free on the internet rather than buying it.
The reality is I don't buy their music or download their crap for free either.
IANAL but I believe physically dropping a computer on someone would be considered an illegal murder under current murder statutes.
I don't think it would be a federal crime unless you threw the computer at them across a state line or threw the computer at them because of their race or sexuality.
It is illegal to kill someone. It is also illegal to kill someone because of their race or sexuality. And now it is illegal to kill someone using a computer. Glad we got this worked out.

It sounds to me like you're saying "why didn't he just admit he thinks of women as sex objects and is a pedophile and explain why he is?".
Sounds like the old "have you stopped beating your wife?" question.
In the old days patents applied to the invention, not the result. You can't patent "a method for fastening clothing" but you can patent a zipper or velcro.
So it seems to me that filtering packets is a result, not a method, and as long as IPFilter doesn't use Bay Networks' code or some slick algorythm patented by them then I don't see why this should even be an issue.
Hershey bars do not taste better than fruit. They have a more powerful taste.
People are spoiled by the flavor enhancers and junk in junk food and think that they taste better when really they just have a more overwhelming taste.
I suppose you have some scientific evidence indicating hershey bars are the same thing dietetically as fruit? Because everything I ever heard indicated that fruit provides way more satisfaction per calorie and is an asset in healthful eating and in losing weight.
Yet another citizen hoodwinked by the big business spin doctors.
RIAA is complaining about losing business to p2p. Maybe that is true. I can't disprove it with my limited resources.
But maybe people are catching on that these people produce lousy drivel and sell it with glitzy marketing and that they have been stealing our culture and selling it back to us for most of this century. Before business started buying copyright protection laws the maximum copyright protection length was 28 years. Now it is around 190 years (presuming you are a child star who manages to survive to age 120).
They won't stop til they get the ability to collect fees on the song running through your head. ("I am Henry the 8th I am" may hit #1 when that happens.)
P2P software is not "piracy software" any more than ftp, Windows copy command, Linux/Unix cp command, etc!
There is one more reason. Elizabeth Smart is a very beautiful young girl. I doubt if she were white, rich, and ugly she would receive the same media attention. Her pictures on the front page of cnn.com were absolutely stunning.
If Alexis Patterson were between 14 and 17 and looked as good as Elizabeth Smart she would have a better chance of hitting national headlines.
I say we use the filters to throw alerts but not block anything. Log the alerts and check them out. If someone seems to have a problem then deal with them personally.
Well it sounded like nothing. I played nothing and then played that track and compared the 2 recordings and they were close enough to be considered equal.
I think we should make some changes to how the DNS and smtp systems work to stop faked email headers.
If we require a DNS lookup when mail is sent we can check to see if the sending server is authorized to send mail for the particular domain.
For example, if I run yahoo.com I enter the IP addresses of each of my mail servers into DNS then anyone else in the world can refuse to accept email with a return address at yahoo.com if my DNS says that the sending IP is not a valid yahoo.com email sending server.
KISS (keep it simple stupid) has long been a design principle, pre-dating the internet. Art is a huge part of the corporate image but it must be kept simple.
The point of a corporate web site is not to serve as a museum showcase for their brilliant designers. Their web site is to present their company and products in a favorable light.
The ability to create a professional-looking and simple web page takes as much talent as the talent needed to create a whiz-bang site.
I ask the world to consider carefully the contributions made by all types of creators. Programmers these days are having their creations suppressed and their artistic value denied.
Why should a programmer who crafts a program that can play a DVD be suppressed while a movie that can serve as a recipe for terrorism, murder, con games, etc be considered a cultural contribution? (I do not support movie and music censorship. I also do not approve of source code censorship.)
Should the programmer sing his program so that it will be considered a creation? ("Elton John Sings Linux Kernel 2.4.9" could be a big hit)
Well my idea won't fix it but it would make keep the spammers from faking their headers in certain ways. With the described method on the linked page you could stop unauthorized use of your domain name as the return address in a spam or worm message provided you and the destination mail server had this plan implemented.

I still say if there's no killing, raping, or gathering of booty, that it isn't really piracy.
That number is closer to 95% according to some studies.

I don't see a problem with a splash screen displaying "KDE 3: Sponsored in part by Pepsi"
I do have a problem with using an internet connection to track ad views or provide new ads.

Six Sigma as applied to web serving should mean that out of 1 million requests, 999,996.6 would be served successfully.
Moderation is a great idea as long as you don't overdo it.

You can spend tons of money on crap or you can get genius on a budget. Spending more doesn't guarantee results.
Personally I want to see a whole movie made of "On a Pale Horse".
