Because they make more money doing so. Businesses pay to be listed in fancy text in the white pages and pay just to be listed in the yellow pages. They make more money than they spend on the books.
Pacifica Rocks! BTW, without Pacifica, we wouldn't have ever contested the FCC censorship crap, then again, without them we wouldn't have had George Carlin's filthy words being THE LIST of words we can't say............
Why would I want to take it to anyone's house? I can only record broadcasted material for my own personal viewing later. Anything that I make and want to distribute, I can send to a dub house to make copies onto the lower standards [VHS] (or I can make them myself).
1) he's off, but the other way, his number is way too low for RAW.
2) they use COMPRESSION, note that most HD broadcasts are done using MPEG-2 compression already, so it is COMPRESSED. RAW != MPEG-2
Hmm.. reading 17 USC 512 (d)(1) --
"(1)
(A) does not have actual knowledge that the material or activity is infringing;
(B) in the absence of such actual knowledge, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent; or
(C) upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material;"
-- Does 17 USC 512 (d)(1)(C) mean that if I link to a site and then obtain knowledge that the material/actvity is infringing, I am within my rights (and actually, it seems, required) to try to forcefully remove content from their server or run a DOS against their server?
The roads approaching the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey have those giant signs with yellow light bulbs in an array that tells you the time to the bridge tolls. They're always wrong, but they're there.
Blame California?? California is not the only state with Diebold machines that do not produce printouts for a manual recount, as required in some states.
The purpose of copy protection is to make it harder to copy, not make it impossible. Remember, if a protection/encryption scheme can be made, it can be broken/gotten around. This is like wrist watches that say "Water Proof", then if you read the fine print, its only guaranteed to prevent water from leaking in as long as the pressure is below that found at a certain depth. Same thing, it is 'protected' up until it is presented to someone that cares enough to get around it, then its gotten around quickly (it seems that most CD copy protection scehmes have 'cracks' or work-arounds posted online within days of their application on a massively released disc).
-- If it can be made, it can be broken. No reason for me to bother with locks on my door, anyone that really wants to come in will come in anyway, I'll just put pictures of locks on the door to deter those who aren't serious.
Yes, but be careful, they may determine the computer manufacturers are responsible (or even sites that talk about filesharing), in which case, I'm moving away from here because I need my/.
Given the courts' recent rulings, I'm surprised they haven't had congress sending a decision to slashdot, supported by a writ of the court, sent to/. to remove that post due to the graphic nature of its contents.
Not in the same way, but filesharing could be a way for open source and freely distributable files to be transfered, as well as illegal things, so the technology isn't inheritly illegal (same thing basically)
The use of the technology is legal, according to the Universal v. Sony decision; The use of it for wrongdoing [illegal things] is illegal [duh]. And btw, saying comparing the two won't help us isn't very on track. The 'Betamax' case was decided to say that Sony was not responsible for what the consumer did with its products, the user was; this case is to see if P2P network owners are responsible for what their users do with their products -- Where is the major difference?? Furthermore, I believe the Supreme Court will reference this case if the question of initial leaglity shows up (which it may well do).
Did you read the article at all?? They used the drawing primarily as a directors reference to animators. Looking back at certain versions of scenes would be based up on the actual scene, not his drawing, as his direction is what it is, not what it was. Anyone that works in a production environment knows that there are two basic rules:
1) The director is always right.
2) If the director is wrong, see #1
There is no reason to go back to see what the director was right about in the past, because all that matters is what he is right about in the present.
When one company owns the hardware of the machine, the software running on the machine, the hardware of the interface, the hardware of the device, and the firmware of the device, don't you think there would be more control over what you CANNOT DO.
Why? It is almost always easier to 'hack' into something using a system it wasn't designed for. On a system that a piece of hardware was designed for, you need to deal with getting around design; on a system it wasn't designed for, you can just get right into it alot easier.
The Video Toaster is a hardware+software digital switcher for the Amiga, not a CD burning app (as gtoaster). I'll be trying CinePaint now that you point it out, but I doubt it matches Mirage.
Also, there is a new program [for Microsoft(r) Windows(tm) and Mac(R) OS X], Mirage, by Bauhaus Software that developed from TV Paint (sorta) and allows for even more. All tradmarks or registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
1) Save changes automatically -- Not sure, but you could probably make an arexx script to (I'll have to ask the all knowing author when I get a chance)
2) Server? Who needs a stinkin server? But again, probably could through arexx.
3) That's hardware related, but I do have a tablet for the Amiga that has 2 buttons on it, one switches to Erase mode.
4) How you gonna do that accidentally? Are you that inept?
And overall: Get some film and a rotoscope and some paper, you can do the same.

Beta is not obscure, if you would like to argue/discuss this further, feel free to post on my journal.
And thats only the legal releases.

Just stick a TBC in line, and Macrovision protection disappears.

They also leave out the porn. Imagine how much the porn industry is worth....
The local radio can't even get the traffic patterns right, what makes Yahoo! think they can do better?

No, I think he means like http://www.apecollection.com/FOTO/gashapon/yujin_t oysotry2_lego_6.jpg
Lightwave, Maya, Bauhaus Software's Mirage, NewTek's Video Toaster (up until recently when the source was released), shall I continue?
