But the RIAA is not installing any P2P software! They simply make use of an existing network, and have their own custom software to crawl it, looking for shared files. How then, can you force them to agree to any EULA?
Only the skill requirements are often never met, and in some cases cannot be met (e.g. must have more years experience than the technology/language/etc has existed for).
A recent famous drug case found cocaine traces on the paper currency in the pockets of many people in the court room - even the judge
This is really, really stange that they would test this, because it is commonly known that most currency contains traces of cocaine. It is thought that it is usually distributed through a few contaminated bill in contact will other bills in an ATM machine.
"While tasteless humour can be very funny, I often find it very easy to misjudge the situation through my ironic distance from it, and become overly cruel without recognising the genuine sensitivities of others"
It is precisely this idea that has so ruined contemporary art (or obscured through a floodwave). Art *must* have a defensible manifesto. Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Art is in essence the foremost expression of human creativity. As difficult to define as it is to evaluate, given that each individual artist chooses the rules and parameters that guide her work, it can still be said that art is the process and the product of choosing a medium, a set of rules for the use of that medium, and a set of values that determine what deserves to be expressed through that medium, in order to convey either a belief, an idea, a sensation, or a feeling in the most effective way possible for that medium.
Now, the post you replied to did not explain why eminem should not be considered art, but I believe such an explanation should be easy to present. To defend it, one cannot simply claim subjectivity or a difference of opinion. Art, by definition, by it's very intent, adheres to some sort of standard of quality and importance.
So, it is not a peeping tom you can compare it to. It is someone who busts in, pees on the floor in the bathroom, and drops pizza slices on the bedspread in the bedroom.
Or someone who left his business card on the table.
Or maybe it's like nothing in the real world at all, and we have different expectations of real privacy and security vs electronic privacy and security. So maybe, we should stop with the analogies as they are all strained.
What's stopping someone from just going here: http://http.firstmedia.speedera.net/http.firstmedi a/filmcouncil/4564654154698/tinals-103587012200315 124783255.wmv and saving the movie? Play it in a player that doesn't care about DRM. Of course, you can't do this in ie since it'll try to launch Windows Media player. Right now http grabber is downloading about 293 megs... so I think there's nothing stopping me....
I thought that what you signed away with most journals was "First Serial Publication Rights", not general Copyright. Are you sure you're not overstating things? I'm only familiar with literary journals, so maybe it works different in other fields.
My comment wasn't in response to you. it wasn't in response to your response... namely, this: "Seriously, blood alcohol of 0.15% is extremely messed up and quite dangerous, especially for someone who doesn't do it regularly. A lot of people would require medical attention, and most wouldn't even be conscious to do the clicking".
8 drinks won't hospitalize a normal person, let alone a 240 pounder. I know that 4.5 drinks sure won't hospitalize me at 140 lbs (which is what I need to get to.15% bac). Hell,.08 is the legal limit to *drive* where I'm from.
Actually, I believe writing it as "Jeshua" better perserves the vowel sound probably used. Though actually pronunciation is difficult to know exactly, especially due to Hewbrew ommitting vowels in writing. Yeshua is another possibility.
Otherwise, this was a very astute observation. Thanks for bringing it up.
lol. WTF is a "true market"? A true what market? We can have a true market of nothing, a true Socialist market, what have you...
Perhaps you mean a true free free market? Then all we will have is monopolies, and that evil "State" is replaced by the corporations.
BTW: HOw does nature select from 1? Thank god in nature, individual organisms die, and what is selected is "procedures"--not the biggest monsters still living under whatever form of tyranny best suits them--with no way for new organisms to come to maturity.
how people compare differing responses to different situations, ignore any context to clue them in as to why there are differing response, and then claim that they have uncovered some sort inconsistency in behaivor through some false analogy.
As a parting note, please exercise parallel construction next time. It makes it easier to indentify the qualities being compared.
Ex. How people spend so much time complaining about spam (unauthorized use of bandwidth), yet have no trouble at all with file trading (making unauthorized use of someone else's data).
Wild speculation is our business.
This is always said with such disdain. I would propose that inteligence itself may be a function of one's ability to speculate coupled with a subsequent discretionary ivestigation of that speculation. Furthermore, I don't think that the mere voicing of an idea is promoting an idea (nor claiming expertise), but is often simply "testing the waters".
Kudos to slashdot for throwing out thousands of ideas on any subject for examination and scrutiny without fear of reprobation by cynics and naysayers. Reprobations directed not at their ideas, but their person. May investigative thinking continue to thrive, even in the face of intellectual bullying.
The bigger problem, of course, is the fact that the latin alphabet and english language cease to exist.
Wow. We have our very own time traveller here, who speaks as if the future is already present (not even past, which is very interesting), as if you were speaking about a work of art (movie, book, etc) where an event yet to occur in a plotline can be said as "happening" in the book nonetheless. "Well, you know, Mr. SoandSo dies on page 120."
This is not how I read his post, but perhaps you're right in stating this is what he meant. I merely objected to such a categorical statement about all "music from the 70's". Personally, I found that this "packaging" really got into full swing by the 80's (look at all the "one hit wonders"... I really wonder how this happened, eh?), but it had been employed (at least effectively) since Elvis.
I agree entirely with your statement about the need to make copyright law reasonable. I realize that this will totally break the majority of the record labels out there, but that's half the point.
I am indebtted to p2p networks, as I would not have access to hear the music I do otherwise.
That aside, I would say that there is some music from the 70's that did linger, and appropriately so. If we're talking generally, though, then yeah... there's all that crap like Sonny & Cher (Sonny Bono copyright law, anyone? Is this a *coincidence*?)
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, let the 80's die a noble quick death, not a lingering bedridden death like the 70's. Ironic that I would say that, as I played in a 80's cover band, friends don't let friends share Def Leppard.
Yes... let us not let any of our music, art, movies, etc linger longer than a decade. After all, we do everything so much better now, right?
I've been absolutely furious about these ads for quite some time now. I run into them all the time. I haven't clicked on any, but I was certain that it would confuse a lot of people who were having difficulty navigating their computers anyways.
What I find to be a cleverer advertising method is to have your ads built into little games that pop up. I've been distracted by one in particular from IBM where you have to put different shapes into their respective slots before the timer runs out. Exactly like this kid's game that a childhood friend of mine (don't remember the name of it though). If some ad threw out a tetris game, it'd be all over for me.

not comics (more like an interactive cartoos)...but definately worth a look, and it definately shows off the media potential of the internet.

No. See http://www.studhlth.pitt.edu/studenthealthed_wbpag e/Alcohol/links/page51.html to see how many drinks it takes to get to 0.15%.

What happened to the questions? These links to the actual questions are a pain to read. More than subject headings would have been nice
Interested in the "Random text" of the parent? See, http://www.lipsum.com/ . Penisbird obviously has.

Your elocution astounds me.
you're depriving starving artists...
I have to call you out on this one. You're abusing a common expression. Please stop.
The original lie is that music is a commercial product to begin with.
