there is a famous (advertising world famous) pepsi commercial featuring a chimp on the beach refusing a can of coke, for transmission in the UK, they used the same footage, completely disguised the fact it was coke, and ran it again.
in some countries I know, they have anti-competitor clauses for advertising.. pepsi CANNOT show a coke can in a pepsi commercial, in the US, this is allowed, and common, "4 out of five people prefer the taste of pepsi free to diet coke" while someone is spraying a mouthful of diet coke onto the ground, then the announcer says "and we aren't so sure of the fifth"
what I wonder is however, if someone shows a pre-recorded television program from the USA that includes comparative advertising that would be illegal in another country, could they then sue coke? of course not...
if google had no servers/place of buisness in france, would they liable fcr these practices under french law?
for media that changes... what if you could create have serialized incremental updates to a bittorrent- how annoying is it to have a server list that changes, and must be version named..
document, linux distribution, server list-- hmmmmm
'cause lately, when I want to learn about something beyond what those selling things want to tell me I turn to the comments section of amazon.com, -arguably the biggest damn catalog on the internet....
discussions that- if google put adwords on the image search results, they were potentially crossing the line of using copyrighted works without permission- to turn a profit - perhaps MSN is only image searching/displaying where they have been given permission to display copyrighted images...
it's running two processor intensive apps at the same time.
I edit up a movie and choose- burn this sucker to DVD.. anywhere from 4-12 hours later, using the computer for nothing more intensive than webbrowsing and email, I have a DVD..
um, why can't you? Macrovision worked by including a signal that wasn't obvious to anything but a VCR.. you can throw a signal into analogue that is very slight, (a faint watermark) that still is identifiable..
imagine a DVD players with serial #'s and each transmission includes static blits, repeated every 100th frame, that include the serial # encoded into the video.. if I capture it, and reduce the resolution by 1/4th, you may not get the watermark from a single frame, but process the entire file, and you may well be able to discern the serial # of the player/equipment/person that initially decoded it.

so cocaine, which is kinda cheap to produce-
has it's prices artificially propped up by the black market?

I have a copy waiting for my son to be 3 so he can start learning the right way.
demo still widely available on the net- I strongly suggest everyone give it a try.
no better educational game ever

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include --

yeah, that would be cool,
~me walks away from the keyboard for the night, not sure if I'm serious or joking....

now I could plain doom3 while I wait..
if the purchases were made with a scanned card- kinda hard to argue it was someone else...
the angle button is not used hardly ever... do the discs you mention use the multiple audio button/or video angle button
can you name a non-porn dvd that uses it? and for bonus points- do you own any?
the fact that different angles are available- means squat.
air conditioner?
I hear cooling really helps electronics along....
does it say you can't download? I thought it said you couldn't upload.....

solve it, solve it well, and give them two more.
whatever requires the site to be restricted /the users pay for it/ should decry advertising..
if I pay for a site, and am given access based on my payment, I don't want ads. I've already paid my due, and deserve an ad free space.
they require identical chips- and usually aint cheap.
