That is completely true. But was this guy selling the copies he was making or did he get busted for braggin' of what he did? If was writing software for other folks to copy DVDs for personal use, he should be rewarded not sent to prison. That is so stupid!!!!
So does this mean that If buy a stock Honda (tm) (r) (etc)....I can't add a fin on the back or those crazy useless tail pipes that everyone has or the neon lights at the bottom of the car which makes it look like some type of space ship? I mean, I bought it. It's a Honda, and I thought I could do what ever I wanted with it! right??? I should be able to back up my DVD's for my own purpouse. What If I travel alot and I have a portable DVD player, I'm not going to take my favorite DVD's to be left on a plane or train or an automobile for some other assclown to enjoy because I lost it!! I leave my good ones at home (originals) and take the copies on the road with me. That way if I were to loose it, no big deal!!
that's just me and I wouldn't want to anybody to do anything bad, especially if the DVD police comin' after ya'll and all....
well to think that this did not affect many or that the internet didn't even blip would be a dumb statement to make. First of all, with the news of power outage, many geeks ran to their computers to see if they were still able to "Aim" their buddy! or the online gammers who, regardless of the candles surrounding they could still not belive that this could be happening.
There were many-a-young-kid without the ability to hit the Maxum web site. So to say that there weren't any affects, it's just purely not right!
here's just a thought! how about every person gets an IP assigned to them via their ISP. once that IP has been given to the customer, if they want to use their cell, pda, blackberry, pager, what ever they need to use to get to the internet, they must go through that IP address and run NAT. so basically, each customer would be a gateway themselves for all of their devices. not to say that this will solve the IPv4 vs IPv6 issues but it may help reduce some of those needless IP assignments to people with a/20 that only need 2 addresses.
