Could TorrentSpy argue under the 5th Amendment that tracking their users then turning it over to the MPAA would be self-incrimination (at least as far as the MPAA is concerned?)
IANAL, obviously.
I recognize that it would probably mean the MPAA would argue to the judge that taking the 5th would "appear" guilty... but what happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Probably because IW botched CoD2 on the PC and really ticked off a lot of the community with slow/non-existent patches and many still-broken hold-vers from CoD1/UO (I still spawn on grenades or into the line of fire of an enemy all the time, not to mention perpetual spawns in the same location, resulting in the "fish-in-a-barrel" situations)
IMO, they're took the easy way out with CoD3 and just ditched the community that expected the most from them in favor of one that historically has had less interaction with the game itself and the developers. No mods on a console title means not having to code anything for the team, not to mention no anti-cheat functionality or serious work on universal patches.
I don't own an iPod, I'm too poor a university student to afford one of those fancy things, so this question comes from ignorance...
Would it be possible to hack the speed of the slideshow, to 1 picture every 1/24th (or 1/30th) of a second? This would save your thumb, and more importantly, your scrollwheel/clickwheel....
Dunno, I think it was Popular Mechanics or Poptronics that put it out but there was an article about how to make opaque/see-through on-command windows.
Step by step and even had instructions for an automatic switch...It's no more than a year or so old....
You know.....we should flood these guys with the IPs of people who have music in their Windows shared folders. You know, all those 'pirates' on millions of computers who put their media in the proper M$-designated folders: "My Music" "My Shared Folder" etc etc
Just do a search on a random broadband netblock on port 139....
There are thousands of people who put media files in their shared folders and forget to protect them (Sharing is on by default in XP). Whether they own the media or not is irrelevant, they've got it shared, therefore they're pirates.
Perhaps that will show these sens the stupidity of broad, sweeping laws.
