Netscape 7.1 Released
·
· Score: 5, Informative
In the Release notes, Linux users need to be aware of the following:
- Pages with Flash will, in worst cases, crash or hang your browser. - Netscape will hang if a Flash plugin tries to play audio and the audio device is already in use - Flash may crash with Exported X Display - Java is not included with the Linux installer for Netscape 7.1. Download Java version 1.4.2 or later at the Java web site - You may encounter problems if you install Netscape in a root user environment then run as another user. - Loading a page that contains a Flash plugin may cause Netscape to lock up if you are using an audio application.
Everyone else need to be aware of the following:
- For security reasons, Netscape does not allow connections to certain ports. To override this on a per-port basis, add a comma separated list of ports to defaults/all.js - POP email becomes unusable if the profile is stored on a network drive. - Stll no NTFS Support - Netscape does not warn the user of a low disk space condition. - Netscape may temporarily hang during LDAP autocomplete if network connectivity is broken. - Do not share a profile between Netscape and Mozilla browsers. Doing this can lead to unpredictable results, which may include loss of Search settings and preferences and unchecked growth of the Bookmarks file (large enough to freeze your system). - When visiting a SSL enabled site, the lock icon will take on a yellow background, and will not indicate the strength of the SSL encryption used, whether it is 40 bit, 56 bit, or 128 bit.
Come on People, do your research! Odd Job as as well. You were able to control these characters in the multiplayer. Jaws was a pain in the ass to kill and Odd Job threw his hast as a weapon.
However, EA messed up in nurturing the multi-player (as they have with other all platform at once release dates) and have lost a enormous potential of a 007 Modding community.
The creators of this act in 1976 worded this act to cover Skins? Hardly. This case, if argued on your grounds, will be shot down before it goes to trial or on appeal.
1) The highway infrastructure in the Greater Seattle Area reached it's maximum capacity 10 years ago.
2) The Washington State government has been balking on working on a real solution for at least 10 years now. This problem has finally come to a head and because this issue has been blown off for years now, the price tag for these projects are going to be astronomical.
3) Light Rail - This was supposed to help with this problem but a) no one wanted to take on the costs of building new rails so b) the current light rail system has to work around Burlington Northern Rail Road's freight schedules.
4) I-5 heading to Seattle from the North and South can't be expanded any further. The original roads that are now I-5 were meant for cars to serve as a road to go TO Seattle only. The Road was not designed to go through Seattle to another town. Because of this and the fact that a City has been built around it, the Roads cannot be widened.
1) Book Mark this site. This is the first and best place to go when hacked and is a great source of education in general for victims of hacking.
2) You're right about the FBI. They are very limited in their scope of assistance. The only other victims they would take immediate action with are attacks on other State, local or US governmental sites (ie. State Funded Universities, Governmental offices, etc.)
3) Scan your logs on a regular basis.
4) Check this link out. This is the NSA'a recommendations on how to hammer down Cisco Routers, Windows 2K, XP, and NT4 Operating systems. These should be used as a guide as following all the steps in this manual would turn your machine(s) into bastion servers.
5) Be Prepared for the ISP not talking to or Working with you on this issue. Prodigy, Qwest, and Sprint used to be and in some cases are REALLY bad at this.
There are several different sources of law. Statutes, as you've figured out, are passed by Congress. Caselaw, and common law, OTOH, are created by the courts -- either as the definitive interpretations of ambigious statutes, or as filler where there has been no legislative activity.
Thus, although it's not really mentioned much (though it is recognized) in the stautes, there are doctrines of contributory and vicarious copyright infringement, whereby one person's direct infringement will cause other people to also become liable.
Napster, for example, did nothing more than provide a resource for music fans to distribute and copy music for free. But those music fans were distributing and copying illegally. And Napster helped in such a way that they were responsible too. (if they'd acted differently, they might have gotten away with it; but they didn't try to work within the law and still do what they were trying to do)
These guys are little different. They're, if not direct infringers, are helping other people to directly infringe.
Napster/Kaaza/Morpheous situations and Skin creators are two completely different issues here.
As I stated previously, the Napster example is making a copy of a master piece of work. Making skins are not. Theses examples are NOWHERE near being equal. The two Copyright acts focus specifically on examples such as Napster and when people make copies of a piece of work and distribute it. Marvel doesn't make skins, they're created from freehand art so how can this site be considered copyright infringers. The Acts do not cover this at all.
There's no evidence or SOLID proof of infringement, in this case, based on the wording of both the acts.
The copyright aspect focues on making, selling, and disrtibuting for a profit. This is a non-profit site and neither of these Acts cover this fact at all.
This site provided a resource for On-Line Gamers to put the proverbial cape on for free. How, in the weak wording of both the Acts/Laws, is the Skin site Violating Copyright or Trademark infringement laws?
You have to read the Act documentation as a whole.
Only then will you notice that it's nothing but a scotch taped mess that focuses on and implies the different 'interests' I mention above.
Most of this Act focuses on laws, penalties, and processes for duplicating an exact copy of an original work. Music File sharing with Kaaza is an example of such a focus.
Furthermore, notice that each of the Appended laws (at the end of the main contents) into the act focus on Major issues of a given time and the laws created from the given issues.
An example of this is the appendix focusing on mom and pop Internet Radio Stations and the RIAA not getting their cut of the licensing/royalties.
This Copyright Act seems to be the result of reactive procedures the 'interests' take to keep the money rolling in to them and only them.
Let me ask you this.
Should D.C. Comics get a cut or a royalty off a kid who puts on a Red Cape with an 'S' on the back and flys around the yard pretending he's Superman?
To me whole issue with Marvel and the Skin site is just a modernized version of running around the yard with a Red Cape as a kid as Players like to fantasize about playing Superheros.
This site provided a resource for On-Line Gamers to put the proverbial cape on for free. How, in the weak wording of both the Acts/Laws, is the Skin site Violating Copy
If the admin of this site charged a fee for the services on his site, I'd be right there with you in agreement on this discussion.
However, these skins were just for fun and the admin provided a resource for people to fantasize about being a Superhero for a time.
For the Life of me, I can't see how this legal action By Marvel is even considered Copyright infringement.
I stand by my orignal post in saying that the Marvel Legal team is bluffing.
P.S. I'm Just playing Devil's Advocate in this discussion as I'm intrigued by the lack of specific coverage by both laws in this matter.
Skins may be a form of art in some restpects but the way Art is defined on with this Act does not imply skins. Skins are a 'grey area' that is not explicitly defined, Art Infringement is worded like you're going to make and sell knock off's of a Rembrant. Because of the lack of solid wording for this case the law won't hold water.
Did you notice how the sections were created for certain interests? The RIAA, MPAA, Cable TV Companies, Software Companies, etc.
In additon, the laws were specifically created and molded for the 'interests' noted above.
Commercial use is that which is regulated by Congress/Law. Skin trading is anything but that it's just plain and simple Hobby. Last time I checked, Hobbies aren't regulated.
I took a look at the full context of the letter from Marvel's lawyers to the admin of the Skin site. Just for kicks, I looked up the full context of the '1976 Copyright Law' and the Federal 'Lanham Act'.
What I found was that Marvel's lawyers are totally bluffing and don't have a case.
There are specific sections of both of these laws that totally protect 'The Skindex' and prevent Marvel's lawyers from ever filing a lawsuit.
Most of the Act focuses specificaly on or implies works of Music, Movies, Plays, Computer Programs, or even Boat plans. Nowhere in this Act is there any sort of law governing the Skins.
Or so I though.
Buried in Section 109 Sub-Section (b)(1)(B)(i and ii) of this code (Page 22 of the PDF near the bottom) are two exceptions that place Limitations on the 'Exclusive Rights' Marvel is alleging Mr. Benson is infringing on:
(B) This subsection does not apply toâ"
(i) a computer program which is embodied in a machine or product and which cannot be copied during the ordinary operation or use of the machine or product; or
(ii) a computer program embodied in or used in conjunction with a limited purpose computer that is designed for playing video games and may be designed for other purposes.
Other than that there is not a single word in this Act that Marvel can use against this Skin site.
This is a REALLY easy one. Since 'The Skindex' is a 'not for profit' site they are protected from a lawsuit under 15 U.S.C. Â1125 of The Lanham Act. Section (C)(4)(A-C) States (Specifically C-4-B):
(4) The following shall not be actionable under this section:
(A) Fair use of a famous mark by another person in comparative commercial advertising or promotion to identify the competing goods or services of the owner of the famous mark.
(B) Noncommercial use of a mark.
(C) All forms of news reporting and news commentary.
These guys need to hire a lawyer, fast and tell Marvel where to go!
...there have been a few Marvel Comics brought to the Silver Screen and have made them hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mo' Money, mo' Money, Mo' Money!
That and the cruddy Marvel TV shows from the 70's and 80's were REALLY bad. Remember the live action 'Spider-Man' TV series? No way they could have pushed their clout around with those TV series.
