Could be what's needed is a site that has a bit-torrenting Flash-video player. That way you could host the links and the bandwidth gets paid for by all of the users.
It could work like regular BitTorrent, no? With the site serving as a simple tracker? I don't see why it can't work. We might already have the alternative. They can be fairy easy to find or create when enough people become interested. Let's hope all this copyright crap gets more people interested. And maybe we can leave the information cartels in our dust.
Hopefully, it would just kill you tube and others who try to pull this stunt. Self made videos will do just fine. It's up to us to make sure "forced" advertising never sees wide application. If you tube adopts this, please find an alternative fast to make sure others get the message that this won't be tolerated.
In this case it is "legally" everybody's including mine before copyright "borrows"(their attempts to extend it is attempted robbery) it for business purposes.
I have to say I agree. If everybody obeyed the law, the revenue stream from fines would dry up and many government offices and lawyers would suffer greatly, not to mention the prison industry and law enforcement would have to find new ways to make their money. Imagine, if you will, what would happen to many governments and the world's economies as a whole if everyone quit buying coke and grew their own weed. It would be pandemonium. The Bush Family and the CIA would go bankrupt. What would happen? They would find other behavior to criminalize. Ayn Rand got it right. We gotta keep the prisons full, and we have to build more and fill them up.
And the roads and railroads go back over 2,000 years. It's the lack of long term standards that make digital media a terrible archiving method. We are making a horrible mess that will completely breakdown and be impossible to maintain. I don't see how there will be any legible 2,000 year old digital media. This is nuts. CD, then DVD, then Bluray(however you spell it) All of which barely work when new. And the "upgrades just keep on rollin'. Comparatively speaking, mechanical and photographic are still low maintenance by a long shot. We're still not good with electronics for the long term. The stuff is still way too fragile and delicate.
No, Man! I ain't bullshittin' ya, I swear to god. I'm using it right now this very moment, Believe It Or Not. Pretty amazing, all this new technology also can bring a little one or two dollar plug adapter to connect to your RJ-11. The thing works great, rings loud as hell, tough as nails, and has a very comfortable hand set. It is completely original. The adapter hangs off the original cord. Everybody freaks when they pick it up and hear a tone because they think it's just decoration. And I have the little "ring" around my finger near the tip from the dial digging into it. Unfortunately, dial phones don't work all that well with these new fangled answering systems. Maybe if I whistle the right frequency...
Some standards are holding up just fine. My 60 year telephone still works in any north american phone outlet. I can get music and news on my 60 year old radio, and I can listen to new records on my 60 year phonograph...once.
If you stay arm's length, I don't see a problem. I would probably disparage your disrespect and try to shame you into giving me some space. If you're such an ugly sight, I doubt you could stand each other for long either. Anyway, it doesn't make much sense to assume the lack of arbitrary political borders would provoke everybody to live on top of each other. Don't believe for a second that they exist for your benefit. They exist to impoverish and enslave, by creating economic disparity and arbitrary restriction of movement to escape the enforced impoverishment. Any other excuse you hear is a bunch of hogwash spewed by those with economic and/or political ambitions. It's about power, and sex, lots of nasty, perverted, dirty, little...Well, that's the idea anyway.
Sorry 'bout that. I meant their OS, seeing as that they seem to losing interest in it for the pursuit of other goals of making sure that Hollywood has access to our money, with Apple getting a nice cut for sure. The computer division can't compete with that and might end up being pushed aside to make room for the ??AA overlords. It could even get locked up in the closet with the Alpha chip.
...not to mention the PITA of product activation everytime you want to change the hardware.
Expect Microsoft to deactivate XP to force an upgrade. Or simply refuse to allow activation in a year or two. They're already pulling some other tricks, soon they will stop permitting vendors to sell XP machines. But when it comes to licensing, I fart in their general direction and will do things like virtualization and use vnc whether they like it or not. Funny thing about WinME, I maintain a few of them and they run pretty good and fast. You just gotta keep it clean. A bare install without the vendor junkware, and especially without Norton*, isn't so bad. It certainly can find drivers better than 98, but you can't boot to real DOS, which I need to run the Slax and other live CDs I copied to my hard drive and run with loadlin, so 98 remains on my primary partition.
*I make lots of money unistalling Norton products, and the client thinks I worked a miracle. The speed differences are very impressive.
You don't know who provoked the violence. The authorities have a great interest in discrediting any protest movement. Looks like you swallow up whatever they say. Whatever. Feel free to google. I'm sure you will find a better link to dismiss as propaganda. Maybe this is a tiny bit more to your liking. Only in America does arresting protesters and journalists seem to be legitimate. Everybody else is violating their rights. I'm sure there's no convincing you to vote for somebody else if Bush could run again. As I posted before, you are shown the warning label, yet you still drink out of the bottle of Drano without a care in the world about the consequences, to the point of disparaging those who dare show you the label.
I forgot to add that tearing down the fence does not give the right to displace others, as you would seem to wish to do while trashing my "beautiful garden". It only gives the opportunity to move freely.

That will kill self-made videos in no time.

Part two is STOP VIOLATING COPYRIGHT...

Is it stealing when you take from a thief?
To the practical...(?)

Hell NO, we don't need those two making babies!
I should say not
It would attract lawyers like flies to dog poop.

Without a computer?
And they keep coming back for more. Is this a Stockholm Syndrome* thing? "Pégame...pero no me dejes!"

To me, it sounded like extortion, but since the company is in Germany they can get away with it easier I suppose.
It's much easier in Korea.
that ever made sense to me.

Yep, that was it. Thank you very much. I could've sworn it was the other. I'm still looking a less ad oriented search engine though.
