As for the former, Slashdot is ad-supported. Wouldn't web advertising platforms also start using digital restrictions management for accounting, to ensure that advertisers pay publishers the appropriate amount for an ad impression of a given quality?

a) on a 2-year-old core i5. you can buy a f aster machine and spend less time, or a slower machine and spend more time.
Good luck carrying an external cryptocurrency mining coprocessor and the battery to power it if you normally read articles on a smartphone.
In addition, what prevents a micropayment processor from logging my browsing history and creating an interest profile with which to blackmail me?
laws.
Which laws might these be in Slashdot's home country that require micropayment processors to separate that option from interest-based advertising? I'd be interested to follow relevant U.S. Code or Code of Federal Regulations citations.
The software lacks a valid certificate from the digital restrictions management certificate authority. It's the same reason you can't self-publish games for game consoles.
First I'd prefer to dispense with some misconceptions inherent in your wording, namely that viewing a work somehow "consumes" it, or that works of authorship are "content" to fill a box.
With that out of the way, how should one legally contribute without running the risk of accidentally plagiarizing someone else's work by creating your own work that ends up being too similar?
Pay by waiting through ten seconds of computer cycles.
Is that ten seconds of cycles on my Game Boy's 8080-derived LR35902 processor or ten seconds on the latest Intel Core i7? In addition, what prevents a micropayment processor from logging my browsing history and creating an interest profile with which to blackmail me?
Bikes don't have an additional monthly charge to remain useful
I can think of chain lube and replacement tubes and tires. But I concede that a child's bicycle is less likely to need the other replacement parts as the child grows out of it.
The parent bought an entry-level phone on a $50/year plan with limited minutes and no data. The parent's own phone may be a "Dubyaphone" on the Lifeline program.
Lesson plans tend to be divided into one discrete lesson per lecture with a few minutes of slack time to accommodate questions and for the teacher occasionally taking somewhat longer than expected to finish a certain part. This means the teacher will try to finish slightly early on average so as not to finish late.
Well, back in my day, the parents of the child would sacrifice and save to BUY the kid things like bicycles and clothes, etc....
There was also probably more job security back in your day. Thus smartphones for children might be in part a workaround for the decline in labor union power.
Last time I looked, a basic bicycle didn't cost an arm and a leg. Hell, don't go to McDonalds for a month or so, and you could get close to money for a basic bicycle.
Some of these parents already shun fast food to make ends meet.
Why would you punish your kid for finding a non-disruptive way to pass the time while sitting quietly between when the teacher ends the lecture and the bell?
students who walk/bike a few miles a day are less likely to be obese
But then who pays for a bike before the student is old enough to be employed, particularly if another child in the same neighborhood already snapped up all the lawns to mow and sidewalks to shovel?
unless they're handicapped, kids have legs for a reason.
Which raises the question of what to do with the handicapped students.
6. Doesn't actually preclude a cell phone ban -- students could be required to keep them in their lockers
Some districts have banned electronic devices even in school lockers.
Parents are presumed old enough to drive and rich enough to own a car and can therefore leave their phones in a locked car. Students not old enough to drive have no outside place in which to lock a phone, and some of these phone bans apply as well to indoor lockers.
If kids are playing mobile games during class, it is effectively the same as not showing up to class at all.
To what extent is this also true of the time between the end of the lecture and the bell that signals the end of the class period? Truancy law requires the student to remain in the classroom until that time.
Have you calculated the number of expected spills per year and the time cost of recovering from each spill? If so, have you raised this issue with school administration? If so, what was the administrator's reply?
That and the fact that austerity has led to more reasonable demand for mobile phone service among students.
1. Fiscally conservative voters approve property tax caps 2. School districts have to pinch pennies to make ends meet 3. School districts decide to cut bus service to the bare minimum (1 mile radius for elementary school, 1.5 mile radius for middle school, 2 mile radius for high school) 4. Students switch from discontinued student transit to riding a bicycle 5. Payphone operators cease maintaining payphones due to reduced use by adults 6. Each student then needs a way to contact someone in case of a bicycle accident or some other way to get a ride in case of a thunderstorm or other weather not conducive to cycling
Say a movie is an adaptation of a book whose copyright has expired in life plus 50 years countries and publication plus 95 years countries but subsists in life plus 70 years countries. Thus the publisher has the right to make the movie available in the former but not the latter. The EU market is the latter since the mid-1990s. Is a publisher's refusal to offer access to the movie in countries where it has no right to do so considered "local regulation" or "geoblocking"?
FPS and racing games, yeah, I can see the couch being ideal for that... I'd probably buy a console though if I liked that type of game since they are tuned for that type of game.
The trouble with console versions of these games is that you can only play the vanilla game, not community-made mods that extend replay value.
Does your country have a "Province, Prefecture, or Other Region" more general than city but more specific than a country? If so, that'd go in the State field. (Source: my experience integrating with postage software published by Endicia and UPS.) If the form states that the name or postal abbreviation of your province is invalid, then perhaps the business doesn't ship to your country.
Do you mean you would prefer a rule that a publisher must offer a work in all regions or offer it in none? That rule, applied strictly, would allow any country to apply its fringe regulations on speech to censor a work worldwide.

Without a phone, how should a cyclist who gets a flat tire seek assistance?

The number plate identifies the vehicle and thereby its owner. It does not identify the human being driving it at any given moment.

Or me creating my own news site that permits basic copy-paste, etc.

Current number plates do not display in a machine-readable manner who happens to be driving a vehicle at any given moment.
Bikes don't have an additional monthly charge to remain useful
I can think of chain lube and replacement tubes and tires. But I concede that a child's bicycle is less likely to need the other replacement parts as the child grows out of it.
Err...and how many bicycles could you buy for the price of a single smart phone?!?!?!?
I just looked at Academy Sports, decent bicycles, multi-speed ones even, are between $50-$100.
An entry level Android phone also runs about $100. Thus to answer your question: about one.
Not to mention the monthly payments you have to spend for service??
I don't pay more than $50 per year for service on my Coolpad Catalyst phone.
Who paid for the cell phone?
The parent bought an entry-level phone on a $50/year plan with limited minutes and no data. The parent's own phone may be a "Dubyaphone" on the Lifeline program.

5. Payphone operators cease maintaining payphones due to reduced use by adults
How did we ever survive before cell phones?
Payphones were around then. I thought I mentioned that. But what I initially neglected to mention is that there wasn't quite as much "stranger danger" hysteria back then as what we have had lately, where police arrest parents for neglect for letting students walk to and from school. It took a federal law to curb that.
