New non-parody works, though (like fanfiction), which utilize the characters to create original fiction, are legally problematic. If Lucas acquiesced in the creation of these, then he would be yielding his copyright into the public domain. This would be a hugely bad idea for him.
NO HE WOULD NOT
You simply cannot 'yield' your copyright to the public domain. That only happens to trademarks, not copyrights, not patents.
You know the movie Its a wonderful life? They used to play it on every station ever Christmas. Then, a couple years ago someone discovered they owned the copyright. Despite the movie being in the 'public domain' for decades, it's now only shown on one station each Christmas.
Copyright enforcement is totally and absolutely optional you lose it. If you let people copy your stuff around all they want, you still retain copyright.
In other words, you're totally misinformed and do not deserve a five for this moronic screed.
In some states, you can get your drivers license taken away for being a minor in possession of cigarettes, without regard to your proximity to a car. Note that cigarettes don't affect driving.
Of course, there are ways to get around that too. (there are also ways to stop people from pirating internet-only games effectively, I shelled out cash for quake3 when it came out, and recently purchaced a 'real' copy of starcraft for the first time)
I wonder how long it's going to be before someone comes out with a nice p2p web content pirater, for reading all these new for-pay sites (total fark, salon premium, gamespot, the economist, etc)
If you have to work your ass off to keep up with patches, then it's not a good product. sendmail, wuftpd, those are products to stay away from as well.
IIS's main selling points are its ease of admin' and it's speed. If you have to have a 'good' admin in order to keep up with the patches, then it's not in fact easier to admin then apache.
On the iMode phone he dug up. I'm sure he can help you open up the Afghan market. After all, if they all speak english and love showes like "tempation island" I'm sure they'll love your retarded dog book.
A/. mirror would be illegal. That is assuming, of course, that you did not go through the trouble of contacting every person who has ever posted & get their permission to reproduce their comment.
I don't think they are restricted from moderating.
Note that I'm taking part in the blackout, but justtify this post with the fact that it's totaly offtopic...
I once had a die-hard mac user tell me that "JPEG" pictures evolved on the mac, because they had a four letter name, and type and creator info on mac files was four letters long. Nevermind that it was named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group...
Take a GPS jammer with you when you go car-jacking.
Might want to take a spread-spectrum radio jammer too, but it might be possible to track that down. But with a full-spectrum jammer, you don't have to worry about the kill switch either.

If he allowed it once, he wouldn't be able to fight true piracy in the courts later on.
GOD DAMNIT! WHY DO PEOPLE BELIVE THIS!?
That's just not true. If you don't protect a trademark, you can lose it. The same is not true w.r.t copyrights or patents!!

A 'computer license' could and would be abused.
How is that redundant? I havn't seen anyone else mention it.
Sealand may be overkill though, and there is a pretty strict bandwidth limit.
You're ISP will dry up once that Powel kid manages to deregulate DSL...
I don't think they guy wants a web page with other people's porn banners on them. And he said that cost isn't really an issue...
True, but you could just share passwords...

If you can't afford a couple bucks a month, how can you afford spending $40/50 a month on new PC games?
Not only did they steal the computers, they stole the alarm system that was supposed to protect them.

Similar size, but much prettier
Might want to look up the meaning of the word 'affair'.
Well, I know winamp supports vbr. And OGG has vbr as part of the standard.

But I'm not contributing anything to the site, just clarifying a point of the blackout.

Well, what about an opt-out system?

If only the terrorists had called it 'opperation jar jar' or something, to make jar jar 'emotionaly resonate' or whatever.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a troll or not, but both Mp3 and OGG support those features.
You scab bastard!

Fuck, thats two already
Any media that displays Kelly Hu cannot, by definition, be 'lame' in any sense of the word (hella or otherwise)

A GPS jammer would only need to block, or confuse, the signals from getting into the car. It wouldn't need to be that powerfull.
