The Constitution says nothing about the furtherance of a monetary standard for the artists kin.
It does say something about promoting of the art and sciences. And limited times...
The guy's dead. There's no reason to pay out more copyright. It's not like he's going to pop out of that grave and write some more. If his family did something to improve the current Art, fine. He/She gets their own copyright.
Originally, I'd go in and buy a game at whatever_shop. Id go and install the game and play it. Once im done with it (well, if i am) I could resell it to somebody else. We do this all the time on DVDs and CDs. They're called pawn shops and resale shops. Perfectly legit and in the clear.
Now, STEAM comes in, with the prices equal to (Retail - packaging) HOWEVER your rights are not retained. That's the sadistic part. And of course, if whoever owns STEAM decides that its cheaper to shut it down, or double the prices, they have all the power.
In that course, we have geeks who love STEAM as it allows their games to be accessed from anywhere they have internet access. As long as they have no want to add 3rd party games they may have purchased from someone else, or want these games for purely offline (say, a LAN with internet being a phone line), they're out of luck.
Thats not how it works. Here in Indiana, they give you a multi-page printout with the basic rules of being a juror.
The last 3 pages are a simple checklist of the minimum requirements to find somebody guilty of a certain charge. Of course, the "Simple checklist" states the very high minimums of the said law.
No wonder you're modded funny. Any real geek would know that only in the last 120 years have "teens" been considered under adults. They're effectively a subclass to extend childhood, which is a whole class of wrong.
And as a computer person, you should understand recursiveness; you worry about the same thing your parents worried about. And if you do your job rigt, you have little to worry about.
Also, juror law states that one must not communicate _about the case_ until its over (with the obvious exception of other jurors).
That also means that all other communication is free to be talked about. The only restriction is there to guarantee the right of a fair and impartial trial.
Also as an Indiana citizen who has served in one criminal case, I will concur. That wording is precisely what they say, and stress.
However, the only one rule that was misleading was that "Jurors may discuss at any part of the trial amongst yourselves when not in open court" . Ok, fine. We all did. Then it came to the last talk, after closing statements: "The alternate juror must not be involved in these last talks"? WTF? She was talking just as much before, but not now?
What about prior knowledge that a juror has that wasnt explicitly asked?
We had a court case here in Indiana. It was a DUI case, but which I was able to ask the judge about the blood test that happened 3 hours after the fact.
IN law states that you can do regression to determine the BAL of a subject in incarcerated. So, if Arrest_BAL=? , 3_Hours_later=X, we assume that Arrest_BAL=X+regression.
I challenged that conception by a well worded question and was able to get the jury to completely disregard all such testimony.

So, yes. I have a agenda: that of fair and impartial laws, and not this crap lawmakers put through.
Oh, that tired argument of "Its only as good as the admin". Wrong, wrong, and wrong again.
Unix systems have sane defaults, that usually represent some form of DENY ALL. Windows has only recently taken that approach. For the longest time, it was "be as hackable from the outside as you can".
And you can only secure as much as MS designers can think to secure. No source code = no power.
In linux, we can start and stop anything at will, write new auth procedures, and generally prepare for new security. Windows is stuck in the mindset of "Pay for program, or wait for MS to make a 50% clone".
In all of history, the culture of a peoples were free. They got together, told stories, sang, made artwork, acted, you name it. This culture was open to everybody who was there. Even during Shakespere's time, there were free areas to view those rotten plays, but still were just plain free. Culture has always been a positive, participatory thing.
Until now. Within the last one hundred years, certain entrenched intrests have found that there's profit in taking from this complete culture that we call public domain, and repackaging it into "locked up and proprietary". These stories and plays have been with our cultures for hundreds of years, free for anybody to do as they see fit. Then we have people like Walt Disney, who adds new technology and makes an animated version. Others do the same, taking from these similar sources going back as far as the ancient Greeks.
Normally, our story would end. However, these media companies made so much money, and employed so many people, government paid attention and heeded their decision to further extend copyright, along and enhance penalties to bring them to the exorbitant. Now, enough time has passed that the older connections to our culture (those stories, books, songs) have slowly deteriorated, being replaced by this new heavily copyrighted culture.
Something neat happened once these media and culture regurgitating companies realized that their media _was_ the new culture: they could create demand by creating the culture as they saw fit, and charge admission. Never has this been done before, charging to be a part of this civilization. Of course, some realized the sick game these companies did. However the "culture" dismisses those who go against it as nerdy, stupid, conspiracy-theorist, or whatever other names for nutjobs.
There you have it. It's not really a "Order to Consume" but a need to do so, if you have any connections to normal people in this country. They feed from this culture, and accept the costs associated as if they have always been with us. So, in order to have that 'connection', we need to meet somewhere halfway.
Unfortunately, that means to these very media types "Piracy".. which I think it's time for their little game of charging should end, and the internet is seeing to that.
A real duper would have 3 dvd drives ready to rip to the multi-TB server. Hell, I have that. Just the 3 dvd drives are different machines on my network.
Yeah, you put so much trust in our founding fathers. I spit in their faces.
They knew what a representative government would do, and how it removes the power from the people. They, instead, made voting apply to white male landowners.
Oh, and I just love the "Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness".. Unless you're an injun or a nigger. Then youre hunted or a slave. Real liberty there.
And dont even mention what we did to our indigenous people here in the USA. The Indian nations had a constitution in the 1200's. We had Land contracts, which still exist to this day, that grant large tracts of land for price to the tribes. History greats like Andrew Jackson instead moved the military against them and slaughtered by the thousands.
No, the country was founded by people that got sick of the UK and other oppressive European states, and wanted to play dictator here too. And they knew damned well that they didnt want the populace to play government. The fact that they were scared shitless of democracy should give you a few hints of their motives.
---One of my friends was deliberately pushed while he was on an aerobic machine by a NCO. He shoved the guy back and was written up for aussaulting a NCO.
The way you solve that is by flinging yourself in the machine. Preferably breaking teeth and bones. The worse damage, the better.
True, but the countries that comprise Europe dont pretend to have eliminated censorship. They know all too well what happens if you forget or try to rewrite history. Which is why it's illegal to glorify or deny the various denizens of WW2.
In the USA, we have this thing called the Bill of Rights, which prevents the govt from silencing us. Instead, we let our companies and "think of the children" laws do that for us.
Same effect. The Europeans are just really clear what they dont tolerate, and I cant say I blame them.
Actually... There was a time when UPN owned a local channel.
On Sundays they played the violent action movie of years ago, like Rambo and others. Turns out, the censors were on their lunch break... the whole day. Still had commercials though. Absolutely nothing was beeped. And it was from noon to 8PM. Good shows.
We call it here as "Intellectual Property dispute", "DMCA Violation", "Child Porn", "Meth Making Instructions", or other undesirable works.
In Utah, possession of even a single picture considered to be child porn is 10 years. So, why pretend that Censorship doesnt exist here? It does, just under other names.
What you underlaid was the idea that encryption is just a "Big Red Flag" saying something good is in here. Well, of course. It all comes down to that idea of plausible deniablity.
If you use full disk encryption, its to encrypt my business and personal information. You prepare this partition as if somebody will look at it. The FDE is "just for looks". On the FDE level, you have most of your computing environment. You have your games, function apps, system stuff, database with receipts and business purchases. Put nothing really incriminating here.. Maybe a few movies and a bit of MP3s. They expect _something_ so give them something lame.
Then comes that weird blank spot as if you forgot to extent a partition to the whole hard disk. There's no partition type.. Hell, there's no partition. Now, if you run a command, it makes a partition appear as a device on/dev. Hmm.. You mount it, and it's a partition image that's runnable within a VM. Running this image then asks for a boot passphrase. Game over if your forensics lab even got this far.
Inside the VM is where the goodies are at. Basic install of Debian, with GPG, ToR and WASTE client. This is where you do your safe encryption stuff in:Encrypt, Decrypt, receive messages passed from ToRland (what? you dont use.onion domain?)
And if there's any questions asked, just mix in TrueCrypt with the multiple-container mode. as said in Taken: Good Luck.

That's how I work...
I dont download until I hear something really good, or when somebody I know that has good tastes recommends something.
Then I go download the discography and try. Sometimes, they're a one or two hit wonder and the rest sucks.. Sometimes, they end up on my ipod.
No. Im actually against anti-ownership.

Or PirateBay them all for free.. And no STEAMy pile of you_know_what.
Pirate Bay to all Steam players: No Network? No problem!
Money's money. It doesnt matter where it's at. If it's SF or Omaha, it doesnt matter. As long as you can carve a piece out for yourself, its all good.

You can't be serious.
I see that kind of lack of attention in high schools and middle schools. And passing notes around in a uni class? Wow.
Heck, I asked the prof if my typing notes would disturb him.. Chatting?
Good luck.
