i didn't mean to start a whole US -:- EU : polemic, just stating that some laws in the states (DMCA is but one of them) have been bought by large companies. And that's wrong! The first amendment wasn't written in this or even the last century, but in completely different times. Some of these practices probably also happen overhere, we're no less capitalistic.
Though most US readers probably think the EU is one federal country with a centralised administration. This is of course not so.
Every member state is constantly weary of supranational legislation infringin on national liberties. We value our freedoms just as much as every other ordinary western citizen. We don't ADORE the EU, but it tries to bring countries together.
BTW: a UK judge just declared an anti-terrorism law illegal! I think there's hope yet.

calling someone a nigger, kike or 'boy' and getting a slap on the wrist, to me doesn't quite compare to telling a company they a have a security flaw in one their systems, a system that claims a high level of security!
the EU does NOT have a unified legislation against racism by the way. Over here I can be persecuted for denying the existence of the holocaust, NOTHING else.
i don't have the DeCSS source, but would like to mirror it and see how long it takes for xxAA to come after me.
Malaysia, and the whole region, is host to REAL BLOODY PIRATES, scary stuff man!!
in our school, we were told to 'get hold of' Borland C++... nuff said? They do have a fully licensed win2k computerpark and even a SQL-server.
To do UML modelling we use Rational Rose (which uses a reg server) now where do we have to get hold of RRose when we want to do our assignments at home?
i'm pretty sure that NOT ONE of my fellow students paid for their Borland or their winXP C development thrives on linux, but sadly enough our exposure to linux @ school is nothing more than a measly two hours a week in one semester, given by a teacher, with all due respect ms, IMO doesn't know jack shit!
well that's my 0.02
a female friend of mine asked me how to go about setting up a HP-network printer on a Win network.
was this her job I asked (she was a clerk), well it seemed she was 'promoted' to sysadmin at her job,... and she had to come to me for advice.. sheesh!
and they spend it on silly p2p-users. While spammers still run amuck without being punished at all. NO organisation will hack into an email harvesting machine!
It's sad really. But if you guys keep writing, who knows this bill may not pass at all..
you could suggest to the rep's that they listen to their children / grandchildren, and get the 'other side' of the story, straight from the horses mouth.
a whole lot of these posts remind me of last week's southpark; "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE"... as usual a lot of talk and boasting about hacking the.gov sites. sheesh
if/. ran a story, rallying people to frantically start bugging the MPAA/RIAA/OTHER's servers. would/. be liable for instigating a DoS ?? just wondering, and if we did wanted to 'prick',that's all it would do, the big players, wouldn't that be an easy way?
this post probably won't get noticed at all (1000+ posts but still it makes me feel i said my peace)
once i installed XP i wanted to try get the smtp server up and running, to get a liitle more help by looking on google... the majority of results linked to security related sites, tracking the bugs and leaks the XP smtp server has.
don't shops have to pay to RIAA of the likes to play in-store music? then 'owning' the original cd of the music you want play through your shops speakers won't be considered fair use...
i have two mac.com adresses... sadly, i hadn't used them that much, i really started to enjoy them when the webmail started.
now i'll drop the mac.com aacounts to continue with hotmail, at which i only get like 1 (yes ONE) spammessage every week or so... hotmail has some good filters, not everything gets blocked but i run it in 'exclusive' mode and that pretty much seems to do the trick!
As far EU-approved measures go, these are international standards! The tax thing, yeah i heard about it some 2 odd years ago, don't remember if it actually went ahead or not.
Giving a hacker life? well, remember the crackdown on RADIKAL : RADIKAL had pages on how to derail a train, admittedly, no hacker stuff, but a like the many bomb pages, it shows nutters how to hurt REAL people If you physically hurt someone, even indirect, like the 911-services dropping, you stand accused!
i can still smoke weed, say pretty much anyhting i want and just for fun, my ISP only charges a quarter of the bandwith at night, so i get 40G this month!
well glad i don't live in the us, canada (100% affiliate) or england for that matter, blair will probably be following the states (and bush) and ask for similar legislation in the UK...

the internet is a public ingress to your pc just like the road is to your house; putting up a firewall is no more different than locking your door...

grandmothers feet...
now we know why gates made it he's full of crap ;-)
we have several dorms doing a similar thing, sharing resedential broadband; nothing with Wi-Fi though, all silly cables/wingate
so are we all going to have to go on strike, stand in the rain and sing:
"we're hungry, we're wet, we're very very upset!"
i think it's called the Peter Principle and it hits every sector, regardless.
example given: Dilbert's Manager!

maybe they could include a blogging-service that would get used a lot (duh)
