Copyright infringement is not stealing. Look it up sometime.
Fair enough:
The United States No Electronic Theft Act (NET Act), a federal law passed in 1997, provides for criminal prosecution of individuals who engage in copyright infringement under certain circumstances, even when there is no monetary profit or commercial benefit from the infringement. Maximum penalties can be five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. The NET Act also raised statutory damages by 50%.
"Indentity Theft" has become a federal offense that can put you away for up to fifteen years.
When your bunk mate is a bruiser named Big Mike the particular sub-section of the criminal code which has you sharing a 6x8 cinderblock cell no longer matters very much.
We have an at-large election system here in Denmark, as in much of continental Europe. This proportional representation gives each voter a vastly better opportunity to vote for the candidate which best represents him
Demark has a population of about 5.5 million. 90% Danish. That is half the population of metro New York City and not remotely as ethnically and culturally diverse. Denmark
Adovocates of proportional representation in the states tend to ignore domestic cultural and political realities..
The American voter wants a clear decision.
The amiable non-entites that are everyone's second and third choices do not interest him at all.
Absent some national calamity, he will not stray far from the centrist or center-right candidate with which he is most comfortable.
Stick OO.o on there of course. And Firefox, Chrome, etc. And why not Gimp, Blender, and friends. All run Windows, why not spread em around. Will everyone use them? Probably not, but a few might and those that don't can just hit delete.
They have a browser.
The odds are very good they also have an office suite with which they are comfortable.
The learning curve for GIMP and Blender is alpine.
They are converting all of youtube to WebM, and it is the only royalty free web video codec. I'm pretty sure they will beat h.264 in the long run because free wins in the end.
The key word here is "converting."
H.264 is a core technology in digital video with 1,081 licensees. AVC/H.264 Licensees
Studio production.
Broadcast, cable and satellite distribution. Industrial applications. Home video.
You can play Google's YouTube transcode in your browser. WebM may find an anchorage in video chat.
But that is pretty much all you can do with WebM right now.
There is no such thing as amatuer or studio grade production hardware. No such thing as a WebM security camera.
Head injuries account for between 4% and 22% of all soccer injuries.
In soccer, concussions make up 2-3% of all injuries. This is the same rate as for American football!
A study involving men's and women's college soccer teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference found a total of 29 concussions in a 2-year period. The most common cause of the concussions was when one player's head struck the head of another player. This was also the most common source of concussions in a group of soccer players at the US Olympic Sport Festival in 1993. The second most common cause of concussions occurred when a ball struck a player's head. These head-to-ball concussions happened when a player was hit in the head by a ball kicked from close range. In many cases, the ball traveled so quickly the player did not have time to react. NONE of the concussions were caused by proper heading of the ball.
Heading the ball, however, is not without consequences. A player may head the ball many times during practice sessions and about eight times during a game. Many players at the 1993 US Olympic Festival experienced headaches after heading the ball. These headaches lasted from a few seconds to several days.
A Norwegian study found that 35% of 69 Division I soccer players had abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns. This is more than twice the rate of abnormal EEG patterns in control subjects. Retired soccer players had several brain abnormalities including reduced cortical tissue and increased lateral ventricle size.
Soccer players also seem to perform more poorly than control subjects on some types of IQ tests and many former players (81%) suffer from problems with attention, concentration, and memory. Players who typically head the ball have also been found to have more neurological problems than non-headers. Compared to goalies and midfielders ("non-headers"), forwards and defenders ("headers") performed more poorly on some memory, visual perception and planning tests.
Most of the data come from players at the elite level who have played soccer for many years. Professional soccer players head the ball thousands of times during their careers. There has not been much research on the effects of heading the soccer ball on children or recreational players. Although helmets may protect players from concussions, their usefulness has not been tested. At least one company is selling helmets to be used by children while playing soccer.
So, how can head injuries be reduced and minimized? Here are some recommendations:
Players should have proper instruction on the correct way to head the ball.
The ball should be the appropriate size for the age of the players. Smaller balls are less likely to cause injury. Also, make sure the ball is inflated properly.
Use "no heading" rules for younger players. If a player is not allowed to head the ball, the ball is less likely to hit a player's head.
Google maps shows a urban JK-8 school with a tiny green space and playground.
The street level view is crowded. There is a small area set aside with a handful of shade trees, a slide, climbers, etc., for the youngest kids. A running track frames the play area for the older ones. There is a batting cage at the far end of the field, but no other permanent structures.
You could probably safely practice and play some team sports here under controlled conditions. But 350 kids on break each doing their own thing?
I don't think so.

GEMA told the organizers that to be certain that no rights were infringed, it would need a list of all artists including their full names, place of residency and date of birth.
So, to be sure no rights are violated, they need to be given private details about 3rd party individuals that they have no right to know?
How much of this has to be documented routinely for a public performance in Germany?
Contracts, labor laws, tax laws, zoning, fire codes and so on?
GEMA is the only performance rights agency in Germany.
GEMA represents some 60,000 composers, authors and music publishers and the rights of more than a million copyright owners internationally whose works are used in Germany.
GEMA collected 850 million euros in copyright fees in 2008
There are so many interests and so much money at stake in public performance that an honor system does not work.
If your creative commons license is to successfully prohibit commercial use or derivative works, then there has to be a way to track down the infringer.

Run it in a VM. limit its disk space and networking in one fell swoop.
So to gain control over obscure FOSS app X you need to introduce additional layers of complexity that only the geek understands?
Just goes to show ideas are a dime a dozen its just who implements it first.
