Wake up and smell the coffee, Microsoft has been making a fortune off of Apple's back since they released Windows 1.0 Oh that wasn't original either. The best Ideas that Gates ever had were to make a Basic interpreter for every Microcomputer ever made and to take the deal with IBM and to take the deal with Apple. They screwed IBM and then screwed Apple in that order. First a loophole in the IBM contract left them the rights to DOS. If it weren't for a loophole in a contract with Apple Windows would have been Apple's. So yeah poaching applies here. But it's hardly an original idea at that.
Thank you, Wasn't 100% sure of the movie being shown but I was reasonably certain of the usage of the entire script in the commentary we made that went along with the movie. Fair use is tricky even in a school setting and I would hate to have to defend myself against it. I just recently had a movie that I did the music for shown at a film festival and I had to make sure that I had buy out rights so I didn't have to jump through all the performance documentation hoops.
Sorry I don't really need EOD, I'm a Nuclear Biological and Chemical warfare specialist. I declined to join tech escort because I thought the concept of babysitting nukes cross country was boring.
What planet do you spend most of your time on? School has never been fire and forget, not even in the time of Charlemagne. You always pay attention to what your young ones are being taught and supplement and correct as necessary. If you don't don't be surprised when your son/daughter turns you in for something and has you marched right off to a re-education camp. the statement "It takes a village to raise a child" is not hyperbola it has meaning. Raising kids is hard work and not for the meek or lazy.
Um you need to give me citations on that, the laws themselves haven't changed in the last 10 years. At least not since the download era started. Even the modem people were aware that what they were doing was illegal to some extent. So no they haven't really.
Excuse me; no controlling legal authority has ruled what they did was illegal. but the Constitution was violated, there does not need to be any other declaration of illegality. Cheney's penchant for ignoring the constitution is legendary at this point!
When asked to perform an act you know to be immoral as well as illegal, all bets are off, no matter who or when you are asked. Stop making excuses for people all of whom should have known better.
Actually as a parent I took an active role in my son's education and despite the mandated standardized tests my wife and I did manage to educate our son to think for himself and not automatically accept everything the schools presented as gospel. We helped him cope with his ADD and he removed himself from the drugs his doctor prescribed entirely on his own.
You obviously think that school is supposed to be a fire and forget education machine and you are therefore a facilitator of what you believe is happening. Don't scream about this crap if you won't take an active role in educating your offspring. School is not a complete education by any means and I set the values that my son learned.
Technically even playing the original with friends present is illegal. Practically as long as it is in your home you are safe. But if you do it while an MPAA official or RIAA in the case of a music CD then he could (be an asshole and) turn you in.
Because most of the illegal copying happened in the first place because no one was educated to the fact that it could be illegal. Since ignorance of the law is no excuse we should at least give them the tools to know when to hide what they are doing.
Actually if the commentary covers the entire episode and the entire episode is required to illustrate the commentary then yes it is fair use. Fair use is not a law, it is a positive defense against a charge of copyright violation. Fair use is so nebulous that it cannot be stated more precisely than what was said in the GP.
I took a course in High School where we dissected the film Cool Hand Luke, and we showed the whole thing. Then took pieces of it and commented on each piece one section at a time and in the end we had reproduced the entire script and several images within the commentary. This was ruled fair use because we used the entire thing in the commentary and the commentary would be useless without the amount we used.

I'd be more worried about fresh cut grass.
No no special insight, except common sense and a fair knowledge of the constitution, but excuse me I forgot that it was dead here.

The Mei-Lei Massacre proved that just because your boss told you to do it doesn't mean you should.
Ok so take the Mei-Lei massacre then...
Somebody pass me another roll of tinfoil, this one has a hole in it...
He can't spell than either.
Educational Purposes is not a free pass, it is an adjunct to be used in evaluating fair use.
No it was illegal; the laws haven't changed but the enforcement level and awareness has changed.

You obviously have not had kids in school lately.

But somebody has to tell them that when the Emperor is naked he should be embarrassed no?
You forget "Civics" which this falls under.
