It is easy to stop copyright infringement. Similarly, bank account infringement is currently halted.
Pirates love the protection they get from their own bank account infringement. But when authors want the same protection for their IP property from pirates, the pirates cry.
You cannot have it both ways. Laws must be equal and reciprocal.
MS CEO Steve Ballmer lied about a false programmer shortage for decades. Republicans need for once to grow a pair and call his bluff. Quit coddling cronies.
Microsoft stifles innovation. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. He lied then. He is lying now.
P2P Pirates peer to peer theft of copyright material has an unintended consequence. It results in junk quality of books and music. Instead of reading 1 quality book, P2P crooks must now waste their time reading 5 or 10.
There is no free lunch. Nothing is free. It only 'appears' free. The money P2P pirates 'save' is lost having to read 10 books instead of one. 20 music songs instead of 1.
Basic economics 101. Nothing is free. Everything costs. Authors realize this so they spread out the material across multiple documents. Pirates don't value their time much.
Hold out for selective pricing. One for all paying for cable, you are still charged for radical media like CNN, that you don't want, but still pay for.
A managed domain is needed. eg www.example.man I own the copyright and patent to this idea. Hence I get to be the omnipotent, omnipresent and omni-compassionate manager.
Seriously, imagine a domain without spam. 95% of domains are useless, parked advertisements. I'd manage those into non-existence.
Smart people avoid Linux because Open Source is for Trainees. People who can not succeed in formal education of science or software, use open source as a means to get a foot in the career door. Smart people have been so burned by open source because trainees write poor software. They use it but only as a last resort. Giving enough time and man-years and 'free' labor, the software will be functional, but still poor. People who cannot do, go into open source. It is a short cut to applying oneself and the quality reflects that.
Sadly, the flip side is that Silicon Valley has become a slave market, you are 3/5th person, so formal Computer Science education is not the best answer anymore, the payoff is low, the risks are high. That's Congress's doing. "Joe the Plumber" is a better career choice.
Register copyright late?? When is late? If it takes 3 years to write a book is late the first initial topic idea or 3 years later? It is stupid to re-register various 'in work' ideas over a several year period.
Sorry, unsealed manila envelope method fails. Registered mail, return receipt, postal clerk wraps and seals the certified strip sealing the envelope. The law is about 'tamper evident'. You cannot put something into an envelope after the fact without obvious tampering.
Second prior point made about US Gov website on copyright. They only cover their own profiteering interest to Register a copyright. Their site only compares tween "poor man's" and "Registered".
Poor mans copyright is still valid for the cheap price. Then later, ONLY if your chatter has value, then do an official Registered so you can recover attorney costs.
I must be crazy to waste my time responding to innane comments. Lock me up! lol
I have seen many of these dumb analogies that you cannot copyright concrete items like an automobile or a computer. Well here is my own dumb analogy.
You paid cash for those things. Every item, no exception, you paid money and money is copyrighted. I can steal your car and computer by violating money copyrights. Money is cheap paper or even cheaper electronic entry. I could make counterfeit money for 10,000 times more cars and computers. The price of your concrete stuff shoots up. I effectively stole it.
You have no right to steal what by contract you don't own. Childish cathecting. Otherwise I could steal all your concrete stuff by violating the right to copy money.
Your only alternative is holding only concrete gold coins because all contract equity is vulnerable. So go hide in your cave or join the real world. Seriously, many of you sound like immature children who cannot have their way in the big world.
Perhaps a person of user name of B_SharpC (B sharp = C) can clear up some misunderstanding here. I played classical piano in the past.
The 12 tone music in our western world is more than a 'man made' invention. From an evolution point of view, natural selection, it is an ideal selection. In prior times there were fewer notes, my recollection is like 5 or 7 notes. The con is that's too few for melody. Current Eastern societies have their scale in the 20+ notes. That's too many, too complex, too noisy.
12 based systems have the advantage of being easily divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, etc. Ideal music is mathematically divisible. 12 tone is superior as the best compromise.
"There were silent screams... from the people that saw what they were still copying out"
You are the typical failure of a teacher. The 'silent screams' are a sign you foolishly ignored. No student should waste thier time copying anything. A hardcopy of EVERYTHING written should be provided to students.
You have sadly no respect for student's time. 90% of teachers are pathetic.
The basis of the suit are prior posts where the pseudo scientist calls Pivar a crackpot.
Science gets a bad rap by pseudo scientists who use slander in place of reason. Scientific American should be ashamed. If an area knowlege is true science, then there is no disagreement. No need for consensus and no need for name calling.
There is way too much undisciplined ad hominem on the internet. I hope the libelous psuedo science reviewer gets his bottom sued off for libel.
Destroying the reputation of those you disagree with is foolish. It is just a matter of time before someone with means properly makes you pay.
We rarely hear the stories of the slander monkey bloggers who properly lost their house and bank account. Learn from Michael Savage. He covers his fanny quite well by adding "my opinion" when he goes for character assassination.
* The average person could not write a song of adequate value requiring copyright. Many good music bands also could not. That is because music is deception. It looks simple but hidden beneath is complex theory of technicals and emotion.
* State Public libraries violate the nature of copyright by 'renting' away copies for 'free' aka stealing. This dilutes and reduces the quality of books. There is no free lunch. The unintended consequence is that you must now read several books to get the same knowlege as one good one.
* An author must recoup years and years of research. Sadly the poor state of copyright law rewards spreading out written works over several books unfortunately because authors do not fully own their efforts.
People do not realize some better books took 7 to 10 years to write. While you finish reading in 1 week, like music, appears simple but no free lunch.
* That is why the Internet is full of junk. It's diluted not worthy of copyright. No intelligent expert gives good answers away for free.
* The difference between 'liberal' supermarket stockers and book authors is that shelf stockers spend their free time watching TV while good authors are hard at work researching.
words "scalable", "high availiability" and "transaction". Wow. Those are really big, big words. LMAO See Spot Run. Run Spot Run. LOL
I can now see why you hesitated to clarify your wordy evasions instead of worthwhile technicals.
If words like "scalable" and "transaction" are your most important criteria, you listed those not I, your systems must be in disarray or in decline. Harvard once determined that only 1 in 100 experts can clarify adequately. sigh.
It is MBA types like yourself who quickly turn healthy companies toward the road of decline because you lack formal education that experience cannot fill. LOL

Troll. Unsupported nonsense. Try a reasoned response next time.
The legal system actively halts posting identity numbers on websites. It can and will eventually halt posting mp3s, pdfs, mpgs that belong to others.
Put up or shut up. Post your financial numbers. Like an mp3, it is just data, free for anyone.
Yes it should be shared for free. So please post your Credit Card number for all of us to see. Show those record companies. Put up or shut up.

NOT! You are a state bureaucrat. You have never paid taxes. You spend others taxes.

Spend $20,000 suing them so you can get your $48 back.
Taxpayers are supporting your fanny anyhow. We should be suing his fanny.

LIES. Terrible St Louis Fed article. The author lies about how banks make money as difference tween deposits and loans.
How do you know when a banker economist lies? His lips move.

A pathetically stupid rule. English professors should always have a short leash because there is little science behind some of their dumber rules.

The law requires 'due diligence' so there is properly no legal basis to IP hoarding.
