You are completely correct on the lack of removal. I am so dumb for posting it like I did.
I should clarify that the federal FCRA and each state FCRA, which pre-employment background screening is bound by, has a limit on the number of years that are reportable. Therefore, a person or entity that will affect your daily life can see only x years of your criminal history, if they follow the law. If they don't, they are breaking the law but that is a whole separate issue. I should also have said "state" and not "county".
Thanks for pointing out my poor communication on that!:)
Obviously I do not know, but what you wrote there at least sounds like this does not make life easier for you, or is even a real problem. So I thought I'd ask if you ever considered learning these basics and getting some training certificate. Yes it's stupid and should not be required, but if it helps you get by the average HR person it would probably be worth it.
It's a $$ and a moral issue with me:) Think of it in terms of a worthless vote that probably will never win, but you still want to bitch to others about it because it makes nothing but perfect sense to you. Replace "you" with the image of me and there ya have it.
For example, right now on my computer I have absolutely no media, but can listen to anything I want on Spotify or YouTube. What I find interesting is that the recording industry is allowing Spotify's business model after over a decade of shunning online delivery of content. Perhaps this is the beginning of ad driven, affordable, and legal/legitimate access to media. Thoughts?
My thought is that you have a brain.:)
I like your use of the phrase "ad-driven".
Who wants to follow the dollar for every commercial out there tied to every show and every advertisement, and cross-reference it with a dollar-following maneuver on the shareholders of TV and radio networks along with those of all people that are components of the RIAA? I don't have time. Anyone? Anyone?
The point is to set a precedent that the RIAA can use to intimidate other infringers. If you think your life will be ruined by going to court, you will be more willing to settle out of court for a more reasonable amount.
<humor>Remind me what they call that again.... [something]-waving? Begins with COC, I think... What is it again? Help me out here... I can't remember.</humor>
IANAL - But when I declared bankruptcy in 2003, 2 of the things I remember you could not write off were student loans and court judgements.
Yeah.. You're right.
If you commit a felony, the court record disappears after X number of years, depending on the county (in the U.S.) If you get a judgment for compensation and you can't pay it off, it will stay on your record indefinitely until you do.
So, from a logical standpoint in terms of information retention, sharing music is a worse crime 'on your record' than repeatedly beating your significant other to a bloody pulp.
Something seems a bit... odd... about... this....... yeah.
how can a song be worth $150,000? if i leave $1 apples in my yard for someone to take, will 150,000 show up?
No, apples are a scarce resource. Digital files can be copied indefinitely with no quality loss, thus the scarcity must be created artificially. Apparently the way to do that is by suing fans.
Heh, sounds like genetics.
I decide to have a kid. Kid has a kid. Grandkid creates disease that kills 150,000 in a local area; I am responsible because I had that damn kid. I owe millions in damages now.
How is not remembering details and citing examples "distorting reality"?
You don't have all of the details and examples to cite on how weather works, but you are aware that sunshine generally makes you feel warm due to radiation (insolation [not insulation]), right? Message got across. You can agree or disagree, but if you want to dig and dig to find that the examples to affirm the idea exist, you can. If you choose to find details that negate it exists, you can. That's called "opinion".
Last I checked, you're allowed to have one (positive or negative) on/. as long as you aren't intentionally using it to confuse people, right? Suggestion isn't simply a power. It can be used as one, but it doesn't mean it always is.
I have "caught" a lot of things in the past and my opinion has been 90%+ ignored (and yes, the suggestions and findings are documented, not just crybaby complaints). It starts to become a form of target practice after a while. What's the term, "low hanging fruit?"
Out of 100 problems, only 2-5 are addressed. The rest is "not important enough" or "not worth the money" to address. Until there's a disaster, of course. Then it's IT's fault for not having a system in place to prevent "these issues".
Ah, now I know why I saw the word "scapegoat" above.
Yes, I recognized his comment as sarcasm, that's what I meant by not funny. I think we agree.
I think we're almost there.:) Were you being sarcastic / humorous in return with the suggestion of moderation? If you were I totally get it (and should have gotten it).
I can't read emotion in text for sh**. I read body language like the top-dog from the University of Hidden Language VERY well, but unfortunately that dudn't work here. lol

And where do you come up with said analogy, dalias?
Is there something that YOU associate a generalized statement about rap with in YOUR head?
Shut up before you get YOURSELF 'dissed'. Oh, wait. Only racial minorities use the term 'dissed'.
/snark
I just searched for a criminal hit on someone down the street that I know has one. Didn't come up. Nice thought, but it's not solid.
Guilty judgment on music piracy is civil?
I think the anonymous poster was going for humor on this. I laughed. Just food for thought.

Weird. I even logged out and back in with comment threshold set to -1 and couldn't find it. Sorry about that.
Prior art now! Mwahahahaha!!
Too soon?

I think I inherited it from my father.
He actually commented on this article and now it's strangely disappeared.....?
Here's a link to the article of his own that he mentioned in said (deleted.....?) comment: http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=24013388
"This guy downloaded 30 songs. See what happened to him? It could have been you."
This is your brain......... and this is your brain on music. Any questions?
I'm sorry but that just popped right in there. LOL

I think my job is done here. :>
hm'kay, In Soviet Russia, uh, music plays you.
Mmmkay.

What's the point, again?

A judge who cannot apply it properly is a big problem.
...and said judge didn't apply it properly because..........
Follow the dollar. Follow.
3,825,000,000,000 dollars. And change.
The total US deficit was what, again?
You forgot to add in the implied and executed cost of public judicial systems' times. ;)
Damnit, I should have posted my comment under yours, not above.

You, yourself, don't HAVE to cite facts in this comment: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2432260&cid=37425584
You also didn't cite any good hard facts in this one, but it doesn't matter; message got across: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2432232&cid=37425514
Let it go, bro. Let it go.
Yeah, you're right, Mr. Anonymous.
I have "caught" a lot of things in the past and my opinion has been 90%+ ignored (and yes, the suggestions and findings are documented, not just crybaby complaints). It starts to become a form of target practice after a while. What's the term, "low hanging fruit?"

Ah, now I know why I saw the word "scapegoat" above.
What line of work are you in? I need to get there.
They will. Oh, how they will! This year they'll only get 95% of the bonuses they got last year. That'll teach them!
You forgot to factor in dollar value adjustment. The bonuses will be 200% of last year's.
Fault? The people under "them" that did the math on the bonus/dollar ratio. Fault equalized. Innocent. :> /snark
Yes, I recognized his comment as sarcasm, that's what I meant by not funny. I think we agree.
