look at it this way. India produces more engineers than any country in the world. The problem is there is no work for these people in India. The unemployment rate is higher and a population nearing more than a billion there is not enough space to live in cities. At least you have the *option* to work in stores here in the US. now i am not saying every one should do that but its still an option viable or not its upto the individual to decide.
well if the door is open and if you come into my house it isn't a crime. is it? Second if you just look around and not take anything or disturb anything then i am not going to kick you butt but would indeed buy you a drink for being honest. Then again we don't know what Adrian has done but from his past we can see that he was just finding security holes of course in an unplesent way.
Well in one of the comments I read the judge said that
"This whole business of computer hacking, viruses and so forth is getting very wearisome,". First of all I hate how the word "hacking" is used. second tying the recent M$worms outbreak with Adrians exploits is rediculous. I wonder would if he would get a fair trial if the judge(s) are technically incompetent. I think its time cyber laws get more attention probably a separate division or something. Adrian may or may not have done something wrong. But treating him like a criminal is wrong. His methods may be vigilante type but I don't think he is criminal.
I really don't care about barely legal or 16 or 17 years old. they may legally come under the category of children but they start screwing at a very early age. I am talking about children who are forced to do this just because they are either physically forced to do it. I understand that every one's moral differs but where do you draw the line? would you like to see your child involved in something like this? Sure 16 17 18 are also children but most of them do it willingly for money and the others are forced into this business because they had done it before. yeah the definition is broad here but, I believe, the core issue is really young children who are abused.
I have read the article and I stand by the fact that if these websites are not filtered then they would be more and more business like that around. You can't eliminate it but you have to contain the problem unless you like what you in these websites.
I understand that and I have read the article. But how else would you stop these people who fuel kiddie porn? Esp the one who is sitting offshore? porn is fine but how could you even think of getting young people into a business like this. If other business get hit by it then it simply means that they are sharing the same IP space with these people who sell kiddie porn. Once they move(and if they move) then these websites would be out of business atleast in the US. If you don't deal this problem with a heavy hand they I don't think you would solve it.
I don't understand how the law works. You suspend Kiddi porn law and you go after them for sharing music. way to go.
again I repeat.
America - Land of the Free*
________________________________________
* Free but conditions apply
I understand that RIAA want to make sure that the lables and the artists they represent get their fat check each week. And I do understand that swapping music is illegal but installing fear is not the way to go about it. well if you would ask me they are nothing more than terrorists. Would Dubya start a war on this Domestic terrorism? Isn't America Land of the Free or is it Land of the free* with *some restrictions apply?. Fine stop people illegally trading songs but the punishment should fit the crime. Most of the people download songs because they can't afford it. If they can afford they would buy it. Slapping fines would destroy them. How many hours do you think Mom LaHara have to work to make up for those $2000. Shame on you RIAA.
E-Books are good in lot of ways. well they save trees. I undertsand that people find it difficult to read ebooks because of the mode of delivery but take for example NetLibrary or Proquest's Online Libraries(I read books through my university subscription) are quite good. The pages are not scanned(i hate scanned books unless they are too old). and all you need is a good browser and a good screen. I found it difficult to read on the screen at first but a day or two into it I started to love it. Its may not be easy at first but people would see its advantages once a good method of delivery is devised. One major advantage, to me, using ebooks is that they are searchable meaning i can get to the stuff i want to read whithout going to the index! any one else with me on this?
I haven't checked out google tool bar yet('cause I haven't used IE for a while) but I think google toolbar would have some sort of Data Miner with it. In this business world nothing is for free.but then again I might be wrong about google tool bar.
Even then I guess to "transfer" the songs to the person who bought it you would have to give you account(you would probably remove the credit card associated with it). I am not sure if it would really be practical if you, like me, use the same user name and password so that you woudn't forget it.
First of all the whole idea of selling songs on the digital media is bad atleast until all the DMCA act and all others like it get really tested and amended to remove some that silliness that they have incorporated. Second like any other online sale digital music should also be allowed to be sold just like any other piece of junk music we buy. Until them paying a $ for each crappy song is still too much. besides the artists get few cents. Scew RIAA and the DMCA . Boycott CDS for a while which would force them to come with a better business model.
You and I would stop but I think more people hear about it more people would support it. Most of the people would have "what am i going to do as an individual?" attitude. and if there is a movement more people would actually follow.
Live shows are fine. But even if you buy directly from artists you are still paying some amount to the label that represent and finally some amount would go to RIAA for fscking us. A lot of people still buy CDs.
I think the best way to teach these money mongers a lesson is to boycott cds for a while. Well atleast that's what I am going to do. I am listning more and more to radios and Yahoo! launch. If more and more people do this the sale of CDS would go down. I am thinking of starting a movement for this. Anyone else with me?
Well this is nothing new evey major search engine does atleast what is left of them. If you search on google most of the results would be business based. there were lot of times when i would loose my mind seeing hits to buy thing rather than a "relavant" result. There were lot of articles even on/. which said how google was acting like/with the big brother. Trust no one Mr. Mulder.
Well basically if you see there are two types of distributions. Well one type mainly to make money out of with easy but sometimes crappy arch(example:- dependency resolution with rpm) second type is out of love for the "process" of linux. well yeah to put it short one treats linux as a product and other as a "process"( http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1107_2-5057755.html ).
But its total crap to say that only those two would be supported by the IT industry.

Subpoena mobile carries get the address of SMS senders and send Legal crap to the great great great grandparents of these users. That ought to get them scared.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to unplug windows machines rather than patching them for exploits every other week. oops its every week now.
I think something close happened like that with BSD vs AT&T but the problem was settled out of court.

well this simply implies that the other half of crashes occur because of M$' own faulty code.
