  1. Re:Selling damaged books illegal now? on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    You've created a derivative work and then are trying to distribute that derivative work. Just because one or more steps could be considered fair use in themselves, combined in your strategy it amounts to copyright violation.

    (I tend to have a libertarian slant to me)

    One leg longer than the other? I think there are corrective surgeries available for that. Maybe special shoes. Thats should take care of the libertarian lean quite easily.

    The thing about literary/cultural properties is that the creator holds those rights, and if doesn't want to give someone the right to modify his work and then distribute it, he is within his rights to have it stopped. Some one might buy a physical object that contains a copy of that work, but theyre really not buying "the work". They're buying a license to the work. The terms of the license most certainly prevents the unauthorized copying and modification to the work

    That said, one of my favorite mixes is DJ Dangermouse's ,a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grey_Album" >Grey Album, a mash up of the Beattles' White Album and Jay - Z's Black Album.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. It shouldn't be too hard to bookmark the "bad" parts of a DVD, for easy and automatic skipping.

    If they edited the last two Matrix movies, cutting out the parts in which the viewer gets fucked up the ass, there wouldn't be much left to watch.

    I think I got the same movie!

    What was the deal with the pizza delivery guy going to that one chick's house to deliver a sausage pizza? Did they ever get around to eating the pizza? My copy had that part cut out for some reason (another fight scene?).

    Still. the soundtrack was pretty cool.Sort of like that funky old rock music from 70s porn.

    Be sure to modify the plane for max altitude capability, so you don't have any lawsuits flying over it. You don't want any lawsuits to be diving out of the sun and taking you by surprise.

    Where were these free markets 200 years ago? They didn't exist then either. Perhaps way way back when the first two guys got together and bartered a fish for an arrow point, but that is really not a very mature market. No, the existence of a free market in the past is as much a myth as a pure command economy without a black market.

    Have you been to the Home Depot parking lot lately? They're asking $12/hour and it's hard to get them down below $9. However, the guys I've hired for $10+ have all been worth it while the guys that I bargained down to $8 really didn't save me any money. And there are guys that will take less than $8/hour, but you only have to talk with them for a minute to realize they're pretty sketchy (at least the guys to whom I've talked).

    Maybe you live in a part of the country where the cost of living is cheaper. I'm in Los Angeles.

    Where is the location of this free market economy to which you are referring? It certainly doesn't exist on the planet Earth, other than as a conceptual ideal. As things stand, we're as far from a free market as we've ever been. It's not in the interests of the those with power that we have anything approaching a free market, regardless of what the ideologues/demagogues might get paid to say.

    (I'm not saying that moving towards something that approaches a free market is impossible, I'm just saying there's huge resistance and we're far far away from the goal.)

    More important than a free market, imho, is a transparent market, although some argue that transparency is a requirement of a truly free market.

    Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog', and replace them with the legend 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog', if you want to avoid prosecution.

    Every purchase I have ever made.

    You know, this could actually come in handy, if you ever wanted to return something to the store, but misplaced the receipt.

    Come to think of it, all of that information would be nice to have in one centralized place as I grow older and my memory starts to go south.

    Me: Now, where was it that I went on vacation that year?

    Me: Oh, well, I'll just submit a FOIA request to the government and have them tell me.
