So I'm walking down the street, just looking around, and I notice your front door is open. I take a closer look and notice that you don't have a doorknob, either. I ring your doorbell, mention that you have much less security than what people would generally expect, and that I (or someone else who's qualified) can fix your problem. Have I committed any crime? I then look above your door and see that this is a business establishment, and knowing how most businesses operate, that you don't have your client files secured any more than your premises (not a stretch in both the physical or computer world). So I mention that I'll be driving by in a month or so, and if the door is still wide open, and the doorknob is still missing, that I'll go to some place where your clients frequent and put up a notice about your shoddy practices. Is there any crime in that?
Phrased in that manner, what you are doing is not illegal. But if, instead, you ring my doorbell and say 'You've got a problem with you security here, pal. Pay me money and I'll tell you what it is. Oh, and if you don't, I'll tell everyone passing by for FREE!" then, yes. You have done something illegal.
Actually, I've read everything up to my post and all of your post and I still believe that no bullshit was called (AND that it's a stupid saying). I believe everyone CAN boycott the RIAA if the will is there. No one has been required to buy RIAA sanctioned CD's, ergo there is no lie or intent to lie on the part of the original person's statement.
The fact is the person I replied to used a phrase meant to mean 'You're lying and I'm calling you on it!' to which I replied 'No, he didn't lie.'
As for yoru remark about listening to the radio still supporting the RIAA...you're 100% right, but you can stop that, too if you so desire. If you want your beloved artists free from hostage, DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH THE RIAA! DON'T give them money! DON'T give them support. And most importantly, let those beloved artists KNOW why they're not getting your support. Maybe then your favorite band can leave their label, too.
On what, exactly, are you calling bullshit? He didn't lie. He just said something you disagree with. Ergo, there is no reason you should 'call bullshit.'
I long for the day we can leave this 'calling bullshit' bullshit behind.
And as long as the new law follows proper court procedure as dictated by the constitution, then we should have no problem.
This is, after all, what we've been asking for, yes? It's certainly what I want; a more articulate and just copyright law. Let the illegal filesharers pay the piper for the injustice they've done, but make sure the process is nice and legal.
Not quite. They're damn close, but not the same. I'm unsure of Wal-Mart's definition of 'back-up' to two computers, but Apple clearly states that you can Authorize three computers to play your music and that that list of three can change at whim.
Wal-Mart also states that you can burn 10 times whereas Apple states that you can (and this is important) burn the same playlist 10 times. You must then change the playlist in any way (haven't tested the exact limits yet. Anyone care to comment?) and then you're free to burn another 10 times. Ultimately allowing unlimited burns.
Last, but not least, Apple specifies the ability to stream their music (and even includes the ability to do so in their own player) to anyone on your subnet as long as they, too, are using iTunes. Wal-Mart makes no mention of this so it is debatable as to wether or not it's possible.
So while they're SIMILAR, they are by no means 'the exact same.'
Since it was your post that broke my camels back, I'm going to bitch to you. If you don't want to read about a point release, DON'T! You didn't HAVE to come in here and bitch about having to come in here and bitch!
Apple seems to be the opposite. If MS popularized it, they don't want it, no matter how well-liked it is.
Being a bit extremist aren't we? Steve Jobs said at the keynote Panther was released (in regards to Fast User Switching) "Our competition did it first, but we think we do it better!"
I had to delete my first two replies because I couldn't keep from calling you a smarmy little bitch. After all, I was just trying to supply you with the information you were looking for.
I was under the impression that you wanted information on studio's altering films under pressure from Blockbuster. Not on their displaying altered video's without sufficient labeling.
Your reading comprehension may be fine, but you seem to have a difficulty in communication more fully your wishes on what information you would like provided.
Honestly, a modicum of decency would have been appreciated.
During shooting, scripts can change on a daily basis. Keeping up the translation and constantly prepping your VO tallent would soon become a financial and organizational nightmare!
In fact, Eyes Wide Shut had to be 'fixed' so that it could be rented out in Blockbuster when it left the theatres. This, of course, only applied state-side. The rest of the world got to see the movie as the late, great Kubrick had intended.
A friend of mine gave me a mix tape many years ago. Sadly, I lost the actual tape but still have the case. Not only is it some beautiful artwork, but she was kind enough to include a track list. With iTMS, I've finally been able to reacquire that lost tape (save one or two tracks) and download them with little fuss. I tried a couple of times using P2P, but it took too damn long to find shit so I gave up....hell. I sound like a freakin' commercial. Well, that's my 2

Peanuts! It's much too low-brow a phrase to be pretentious.

Sorry, son. Try again. If you'd pay attention, you'd see that I did not 'call bullshit.' I called for an end of the 'call[ing] bullshit' bullshit.
Ah, but what's the use. You're an AC anyway.

My rent is damn cheap (roommate) and that alone costs me roughly $13.25 a day.
I live in a nice comfortable apartment, drive a nice car, eat well, and don't even spend $10 a day to do it
By 'nice,' do you corrugated?
