The RIAA has said it expects to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking financial damages as early as next month. U.S. copyright laws allow for damages of $750 to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a person's computer, but the RIAA has said it would be open to settlement proposals from defendants.
will they start sending subpeonas to aol/tw customers this time?
The RIAA, the trade group for the largest record labels, said it also found other hidden evidence inside the woman's music files suggesting the songs were recorded by other people and distributed across the Internet.
ya think? and here i thought it was the magical mp3 fairy who put mp3s on my hd...
One Piece is a currently running anime (163 eps so far) about sea pirates, very cool stuff... it was licensed by funimation, so expect a long wait until dvds/tv.
word on the internet says ep 112 and movie 4 will soon be out subtitled.
Although I agree that this is sort of tenuous as far as/. news goes, my guess is that if the story really was submitted by an undercover marketer, they would have at least waited for the website to be online. At least, I'd wait until then.
its just a plot to advertise on slashdot without getting slashdotted.
i have been using popfile for a while, but its accuracy still isint good enough to skip over just yet...
maybe i should restart it, mightve let one or two spam emails go into home, thats the problem with bayes filtering is if you make a mistake you have to restart;\
what is considered news? 'bush says arnold would make good govenor' is that news? its not newsworthy, its not even an endorsement. so why is it on cnn every 10 minutes?
i think knoppix has filled a hole where windows is missing... all of your settings and whatnot on a cd that can be used on any computer within a matter of minutes.
2.) Sex. While it may seem a bit innapropriate for the older crowd here, most people from the age of 13+ have sex on the mind, either sex appeal or actually shagging. While of course there may not be a whole lot of knowledge in the area, there's still the curiosity and since mom and dad usually won't take the time to explain sex as it might actually lead to little billy and suzie wanting to try it, they turn to the one source they can find.
heh, i find this silly, has anyone actually done this? sex is instinctual, you dont need to tell anyone anything. only to watch for disease! eek! thats why each and every teenager, whos generally not-stupid as hell, will scoff at such an attempt to teach him/her.
all of those companies who run brute force zip password cracking.
otherwise its a great idea, albiet way too late, pgp and others have been out for a long time. pkware should have had encryption from day one, instead of simple password protection.

its a horrible 'feature' that needs to be disabled by default.
why dont they just start lawsuits, then settle out of court for the people to pay subscription fees into one of thier music websites?
that way, they keep thier customer base, the consumers dont get up in arms, legal music grows in users... etc
instead of suing them for $250,000 each song...
why not ask if she will challenge the dmca?

Issac Asimov's three laws for robots.
A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

when was it said that just because a thing uses batteries instead of fossil fuels means its less-pollutant?
electricity has to come from somewhere, coal or nuculear plants. has anyone done the math to count in a battery operated car vs a conventional car?
i'm not trolling, i'm all for new technology. just dont stuff it down our throats because its new or different.
thats some mighty whiplash. with a car that slender, it would wobble like you see in those motorcycle crashes...

there could be a flash mob of 100 people, all with coconut shells spouting off monty python quotes.
or 100 people recreating the death of KAAAAHN.
i've got a million ideas for anything. just hope no-one can geek this idea up a notch.
for one to organize two flash mobs, or a group of flash mobs, and have them come together, and bug each other.
or mix flash mobs, cops and robbers!@ cowboys and indians. recreate the alamo battle!
bwahahahaa...
