Bzzzzt, wrong. But thanks for playing. From www.copyright.gov "Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration."
and if you look at www.copyright.gov/register you'll see that you don't need a laywer, don't need to file a petition, and costs between $30 and $70, depending on what form the work takes. But hey, don't let little things like facts get in the way of your comments you stupid twatwaffle.
Well, if they aren't willing to go to bat for their clients, how can their clients trust them
Uh, It was the FBI, and they had a *court order*. This isn't a take down notice from the RIAA we're talking about here. What would have them do? Barricade themselves in the sever rooms with shotguns?
Napster uses DRM'd.WMV files. If it wasn't for that I probably would subscribe to their service. And I'd be pissed if I went to school there. I'm already tired of all these fees I'm paying at my school, like parking fees when I don't drive, athletic fees when I don't play any sports here, etc etc... now an MP3 fee? bah.
Eh, no. GP said right at the beggining, the copyright holder has the right to limit distribution. So if I buy something from you, be it software, music, a book, a photo, whatever, I can do anything I damned well please with it as long as I don't distribute it or a derivitive work. If I wan't to use copyrighted photos from a magazine I purchased to make a collage for myself, I get to. If I wan't to sample music of a CD I bought to remix it, i get to (again, as long as I don't redistribute it). If I want to photocopy a whole book I own and make myself pajamas out of the pages, gues what? I get to! MS can do whatever the fuck they want with open source code, *as long as they don't redistribute it or dirivitives* Are you starting to see a pattern here 'dipshit'?
Yes you can sign a contract with Apple ITunes saying you won't, and that's fine. Don't fsck with those ones. But AAC isn't apple's format. I can get AAC files from other sources that may not have such stipulations. So no, there's nothing wrong with this.
You sir, are a twat. it is driving season
except gas prices have been going up sience well prior to "driving season" many 'environmental' regulations keeping there from being a good supply of oil
Oh well, by all means, lets go ahead and eleminate those pesky regulations, dump the waste where ever we want, and rape anwar, so you can have cheaper gas. better off with Sadam in office
I've never heard anyone argue that he wasn't a bad person, and that Iraq will probably be better off without him, but that doesnt change the fact that he was the recognized leader of a soverign nation. We have no right to elimate him, or anyone else in such a position, just becuase they aren't very nice. Banning Gay marraiges does not mean that civil unions will be banned
The Supreme Court has ruled a number of times that "seperate but equal" is never equal. This isn't about "not offending someone" this is about basic civil rights. Name ONE child that is starving in America
I don't personally know anyone from cuba, therefore, there aren't actually any cubans, that's just some damned liberal media concpiricy. the education system has been screwed up since..
yes, but if you're going to make education a major point of your campaign (see: "No child left behind") then maybe it would be a good idea if you actually did something about it?
If you don't produce here you should be hit with the fat import tax
I've thought that before, but then the question arrises of how do you put a tarrif on information? With the moving of manufacturing jobs to places like mexico and china, you can tax the car, or clothes, or whatever that's being imported, but how do you tax bits? Hell, should we even try to tax bits?
1. You can't reasonably outlaw something because it *could* be abused. I *could* use my car to start smushing pedestrians on the sidewalk, I *could* use my Copy 386 to crack a bank database and steal money, etc etc...
2. you end up with people coerced into the sex trade.
True, but it's the coersion that should be the illegal part, just as blackmail is, in a sense, coersing someone to give you money. It's kind of like smoking, if someone want's to make an informed desicion to do something that will harm them, that's their call, but if someone else holds a gun to their head and forces them to do it against their will, then that person should get bitch slapped by the law.
3. I'm a bit unclear on how you'd get number squatters, in my experience you can't request specific numbers when signing up. I don't know, maybe some providers would let you.
I never understood why viruses/worms/whatever bother to include shutoff dates. "hum, I really hate SCO, so I'm going to DDoS them, but only for a few days" Why?
duel-booting?
So, you press the power button and whatever OSs are installed on your system fight to the death to see which one gets to boot? I like it. Does it have an interactive stat up mode too? I can see it now, on old hardware it would be a 2d mortal combat type thing, and on my new opteron server it would have DOA 3d thing going on. The only question is which charicter do you use for windows, and which for linux?
There's problems with every single one of your examples...
A)Each uses an item that is exclusive use, only one person can use it at a time, thus your use deprives the owner of it's use. A better example would be a water spigot at the owner's curb, your use of that water spout doesn't deprive them of thier use of water, and (where I am at least) it's a flat rate regardless of the amount you use.
B)Involves a passive object. In the case of the wireless AP use, the owner is *actively broadcasting* the signal. You can't throw something at someone, then be upset that they have it.
I'd rather have a centralized db in this case. Case in point: You called me a n00b in a CS game, so I just throw your IP(&|)Domain onto Gnutella, all of a sudden you can't email anyone. Seems problem prone.
Really facinating shtuff. The HUD was wired to a wearble pc setup, so it could display other things, but whenever you looked at someone wearing a namebadge with an IR transmitter (sorry, no facial recog), it would flash their info on your screen, too fast to consiously notice it, but enough to subconciously trigger recall.
1. There's an awfull lot of cameras at intersections these days. (and not just red light still cameras either, where I am there's a few vid cams at every major intersection).
2. IR shows up on B&W CCD cameras.
1+2 = just have someone watch vids for cars that have bright IR pulses coming from the dash.
Oh please please please tell me you're trolling and not actually that much of a fucking retard.
Landfills are the preferable choice to recycling?
Because you have no immediate way to pave over/build on "unusable" land it should be filled in with garbage?
(1) so? the discussion has moved beyond that to the larger implications, esp. in consideration of many large ISPs becoming content providers. And of couse, there are other things out there 'sides MS.
(2) User's responsiblity.
(3) If I chose to hammer a nail through my dick, I get to. If I choose to open my hard drive to the world, my ISP should not get to tell me no.
(4) STFU
(5) Some software that could use those ports sucks, so all software sucks?
1 - the grammar check option in MS word is crap. this sounds awfully similar.
2 - your resume can suck, but with the proper buzz words, it'll come out looking like gold to those automated resume checkers.
1+2 = students who turn in good papers that aren't structured perfectly (and you have to admit, there is some fluidity to language) will get marked down, and those who know what bullet points to put in their papers will get good marks, even though the content is crap. How long until you get kids selling manuals in the bathroom on what the machina are looking for?
...legality is a function of locality... ...to qualify under "fair use".
Not all localities have the legality of "fair use", so should search engines be subject to infringement laws there? Or is their moral right to fair use less subjective than other morals?
One of the major points of getting FDA approval on something like this is so that the feds (medicare/aid) will likely pick up a large portion, or in some cases, all of the cost.

It's a Norwegien fisherman, a bannana, and a communicable disease, but it's NOT "Polish".
