Use without knowledge or consent

Canada Says No To DMCA

However, the FAQ also notes that circumvention for the purposes of private copying will not be permitted, meaning people may find themselves paying for a CD and paying a levy on blank CD yet unable to make the copy of the underlying CD
But the proposed changes (and future amendments) will make it illegal to circumvent protection for even making a private copy. Every CD in my car is a copy (I would not keep the real ones in there).
I have read the copyright sections myself on occassion, I lobbied against the levy increases last year.But according to the new act, I could be sued for making even those if they are protected.
Moreover, the FAQ makes clear that "the circumvention of a TPM applied to copyright material will only be illegal if it is carried out with the objective of infringing copyright. Legitimate access, as authorized by the Copyright Act, will not be altered." This is very different from anti-circumvention provisions found in the U.S. However, the FAQ also notes that circumvention for the purposes of private copying will not be permitted, meaning people may find themselves paying for a CD and paying a levy on blank CD yet unable to make the copy of the underlying CD.
So does this mean that all the protected CD's we get from the US we can now be sued for ripping? How does this make sense? We pay a high levy on every blank CD/DVD so that we can make copies, but if they are "protected", then we now legally cannot. According to this, even the Sharpie trick or Disabling Auto-Play is illegal now.
Depends on what your box is doing. I run several OpenBSD based machines; from 3.0 up to -current. First things first: if it doesn't need IPv6.. kill it on the wonderfully built in firewall. (If you don't need to patch it. I have had killing it in the custom build kill other things).
block in log on $ext_if inet proto ipv6 from any to any
block out log on $ext_if inet proto ipv6 from any to any
Now two questions remain:
1. I am in Canada. I can't violate the DMCA. Would an American have if they had posted that?
2. Would that make Windows/Microsoft in violation of the DMCA?
So what exactly was your job function at SCO from 1984-1989? *
I am interested since it was actually you who brought up the usability of any NOS for basic network services. And since you mentioned shells earlier, I would assume you meant *NIX. DOS does not launch a new shell everytime you add a command like NET USE, etc., as mentioned elsewhere in this thread by TheRealSlimShady (which is correct).
I do half-terabyte network backups over gigabit from 50 remote machines a night with batch files and shell scripts. These machines range from Linux, OpenBSD, Mac, Win2K, NT4, WinXP, Win98, Solaris, routers, firewalls, printers, etc.
No special software or programming required my shiny metal ass. You seem to assume that these machines are all either:
a) inherently the same architecture, platform or OS; or
b) managed by a top level heirarchy or centralized security model. Workgroups (for lack of a better term) have no place in a large environment where security and manageability are a requirement. I can make all those above mentioned systems see and share and print til the paper runs out. But I never said it would be easy.
* I will assume for everyone's benefit that this is before they became "evil" so this argument does not dissolve into another "Six Degrees To SCO" boardgame.
I have been burned by banks clocks and the CCRA (Canadian Customs and Revenue Service) for filing my income tax 27 seconds late since their server was slow as hell.
Tell me that 2% interest on $18,000 owing for that space of time is not going to piss you off. ($360 for the math impaired)

If the album is already available, then someone else has made it previously. So how is this any different from the plagiaristic cookie-cutter crap they put out now?
IWADT (I Was A Demolitions Tech) and can confer with Kombat's observation having conducted various "experiments".
Explosives in general are very specifically shaped to control the resulting explosion (such as directing the shockwave to follow only the vertical or horizontal axis). The resulting blast will vary greatly depending on the medium it is traveling through. Explosions at sea level vary from high altitude / low atmosphere conditions; underwater explosions will vary from freshwater to seawater. The resulting shockwave will always vary depending on the density of the medium relative to its viscosity and temperature.
It all depends on what software you are using. How many times has Microsoft re-issued a patch a while later since it *DID* break something? If they were to automatically install patches and it hosed the system, who would be liable?

Actually, parts of Ontario East of Ottawa are actually hooked up to the Quebec grid.
The line is actually right beside my house. The block on the left was dark, humid, black Ontario power. On the right (and in my house)... bright, cool, soothing Quebec power.
So I strung up a couple hundred feet of electrical cable, pulled out the coolers, invited over all the neighbours, and drank cold beer all night.
On another note.. did anyone else notice how many more of the stars they could see that night?!?

What about countries like Canada that have 15% tax? PST (Provincial Sales Tax) at 8% (Ontario, for example) AND GST (Goods and Services Tax) at 7%?
Would eBay Canada start charging me 15% on top of everything I buy?
Shouldn't that be kilometers per litre?

So what would they decide to do for Windows users who install TweakUI? One of the first things I do is disable the autorun on all the cd/dvd drives.

All it does is change a registry key. Same one IIRC in all versions, but here is 2K's:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:b5,00,00,00
Happiness is only a regkey away.
