The Supreme Court has stated that the single most important of the "fair use factors" is the economic impact on the copyrighted work - i.e. will the allegedly infringing work compete for marketshare?
In the case of turnitin.com the answer is "definitely not".
Your post misses the point just like the Fourth Circuit did. As pointed out by another commenter below, the commercial market should be the student's ability to sell his/her paper to turnitin. The student, at a minimum, should be receiving a modest fee for this. So, yes, there "definitely is" a commercial market for a student work.
The Fire Scout has been for a long time but from what I understand, it has had a funding problem. Hopefully this new predator doesn't like to crash as much as it's old versions.
Are you kidding me? A big reason why we don't need nukes anymore is because current conventional weapons are extremely accurate. Did you not watch TV during the beginning of the current Iraq war?
Possibly part of the reason they want to cancel the F-22. Yes, I think UAV's will eventually be the planes of the future, but you still need manned aircraft for a while. With a UAV, you have no environmental system for a pilot, plane can out turn (G's) one with a pilot, and most importantly, you don't put the pilots life at risk.
That makes sense but if that was the real reason for the proposed cancellation of the F-22, you'd think the J-UCAS program would not have been canceled (for the most part). I honestly doubt those in Congress have any clue about what these systems do. I used to work in defense and it is true that there is a ton of waste but the main reason for that is that the military customer never gives a good set of requirements and they constantly change what they want over and over. Then the contractor gets the blame when surprise surprise it costs twice at the end. There needs to be more planning up front.
Speaking as someone who runs a small law firm, parent has it mostly right, especially in regards to the document scanner. We live and die on paper, so we make a lot of effort to keep the physical and digital versions safe. As for online storage, HDs are cheap, and even several million pages of text documents won't break anyone's bank.
I've never understood the online storage appeal for just about any commercial entity, but for a law firm, that just ain't gonna happen.
I don't really see how a 3rd party subpoena could work in this situation. That's like saying the other side could subpoena your secretary and have him/her reveal confidential info. We both know that is not allowed because the secretary is considered an extension of a lawyer. I used to work at a large law firm and we had offsite storage for documents(physical documents/files). There is no way we could physically or econimically store all of it onsite. Do you also see this as suicide?
Like the article submitter said, numerous bar associations have approved of this. I think you are being way over cautious.
Other than making the parents of incoming students feel better about letting their students go, it's probably because the schools are pretty large. My undergraduate school has over 35,000 students. That is bigger than some cities.
Wait, what? Reading the patent excerpt suggests that this is no different than doing <script src="http://some.external.site/latest.js"</script>. Or just visiting ANY web app, for that matter - except when dealing with Flash Player, I'm automatically using the latest version of the site without any need to update things at my end.
Did you read the claims? Cause that's all that matters. The abstract and spec do not define the invention (with a couple minor exceptions). (Disclaimer: I haven't read the patent)
I don't know which one of you is correct but this cnn article says this:
"In a statement, Obama said the launch was "a clear violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718, which expressly prohibits North Korea from conducting ballistic missile-related activities of any kind."
The UK had its first snowfall in October in 74 YEARS!
Oh yea? Well so did New Orleans. Quite a big latitude difference there. It also snowed in Atlanta less three weeks ago. The winters seem to be getting colder everywhere.
On southbound I-95 just south of Jacksonville, FL, there used to be a highway patrol car with a blow up doll in the driver's seat. I saw it several times one summer. It was quite funny. It did make slow down though - at least the first couple times I saw it.

Here is a better link.
Actually Special Forces have had access to PDAs for a few years now that can access to Global Hawk imagery real time. They can pinpoint an area on a map to cue the plane to scan or to send down historical imagery. The only real new thing here is that they are using Apple devices.
Are you drunk? You're making no sense.
My teen years were long ago. Nice try though.

Campus Police != Police. Anyone who's been on a college campus knows that.
Maybe at your school. At both my undergrad and graduate schools, however, the campus police departments are real police.
Unless, of course, the target of your criticism is the Phoenix, AZ police department.
I can't believe this hasn't been modded up yet.

The EFF is actually arguing "Meet the new boss, much worse than the old boss."

I replied to my post to correct myself. CA only allows 30% light blockage on the front window. This is almost no tint at all.
Replying to correct my statement: California allows only 30% of light blockage on the front windows (basically not worth tinting). Compare this to Florida, which allows tinting 85% light blockage in the back windows, and 72% in the front.
AFAIK, tinting car windows in California is illegal. (ANY tint at all). I lived there 2 years ago. I doubt the law has changed since.
A better idea is for the California legislature to remove the ban on tinted windows.
I had a coworker who used to live in Den Haag and he said that the speed cameras there would get vandalized quite often. Any truth to this?
