Well, if you think about it she never asked for permission to use a song in a video. Some may think that because it is a derivitive work and should fall under fair use, it does not. It does not because the original song was used she didn't modify it in anyway so it is not a derivitive work. Overall, I think that she is probably going to lose this case in court because 1st she never lost any money over the work being removed from youtube and the RIAA along with Universal Music Group is going to stay that this is not a derivate work because the song was never modified.
Always remember that copyright law was designed to allow the creator/holder of a work to make and destribute copies of works either original or derivated works. Before putting a video on youtube or any site make sure that it doesn't contain any music or artwork that is the poster doesn't own the copyrights to. Some of you may think that some of the copyright laws are stupid but they do serve a purpose. I think that lady suing Universal Music Group is going to lose the case and the owners, Universal Music Group, will probably countersue for copyright infringement. I am suprise they haven't done this already!
I currently use Mozy for my backup. http://www.mozy.com/ You get unlimited storage for the same cost as their mid level storage. About $50 a year. The only problem with Mozy is that it only works with PC or MAC no linux. But that is okay for most users. I can see that the future of online storage being very viable but it comes down to the cost. That is what the main problem is with today. Along with of course slow upload speed with many high speed internet connections.
When watching a sports event all broadcasters have been saying this notice for many years: long before the DMCA and the explosion of online video and such:
"Your not allowed to reproduce, retransmite, or reuse the pictures, descriptions or accounts of this telecast without the express written consent of XYZ. Any commerical or other use such as by charging an admission for a showing is likewise prohibited."
So why is their a problem now! It has been going on for a very long time! I can see maybe with the warning on the CD's that you see now but movies have had it for a long time as well. Remember the copyright notice that many of us fast forwarded thru to see the movie on VHS tapes.
Yes they can because one has to remember what copyright is: the right to copy and distribute original work by the creator or a company that paid for the work. Meaning it is illegal in the US to make a copy of a song and give it to a friend or sell it to a friend or anyone. It is illegal to create derivate works using the orignal material such a mix tape or mix disc. It doesn't matter if you sell them or not. It is legal for you to make a copy for your own use such as backing up a disc or transfering it to another medium or to play back with your friends. As long as you don't give them a copy of it. Most companies and copyright holders will not sue someone for giving a copy to a friend but the can sue. It is up to the company or the copyright holder. Does this mean that I aggree with all of this. NO! But that has been the law for many years.
I can just see it, A guy wakes up in the morning with the new alarm clock and starts calling it: "Here larmmy, larmmy, larmmy. Here larmmy, larmmy, larmmy. Come out where every you are you ringing little thing." "Oh! their you are?" Then takes his sledge hammer and hits it. "Now stop ringing!" "Good, I can go back to bed now!"
Just think about it for a second if a site that will hold that kind of information is going to get more traffic than a slashdotted site. Hope they don't do it in the US because no server the goverment can afford take that kind of beatting or cowboyneal could give to it!
Remember the whole purpose of the electoral college is to make sure every state has a say in how the federal government works. If the electoral college is removed or changed so that the popular vote winner nation wide wins than that would create a huge problem. The problem would be that politians would place all of their money into the following states: New York, California, Texas, and Florida. The other states would get nothing. The reason: if all you have to do is win these four states or just a majority in three of them than you would win the election. I would rather see the electoral college stay the way it is so states like South Dakota and Vermont can get a say in the federal government too. I think it would be better off if each state would create a system where each voting distict's popular vote winner would get their winning electoral college member counted than a winner take all system state wide. I mean that for New York State if 30 voting districts popular votes were republican than all 30 would got to the repulican and the 20 other districs that went to the democrates would go to the democrates. This would make the system work better than a winner take all system.
The problem with this approach in Windows XP is most programs will not work properly as a limited user. This is because most programs were designed for Windows 9x not NT. The programs that were designed orignally for NT will run this way. What Microsoft should do is with the new release of Windows Vista is setup a user account on the system as a limited user. For Microsoft certification they must be able to function as a limited user! This would fix a lot of problems with malware and viruses!
Pick a language and learn it to your best: I would suggest a language like Java or C, C++. The more you learn about your langauge that you choose the better you will get at it and the more you will be in the trend. I started learning C++ back in college and I use it. I learned it very well and I keep up to date with it changes.
Just like the old british empire it's now the RIAA. So what is the RIAA thinking - oh those peskey fools; they foiled us again! What the artist is thinking - The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming! Oh my god the pirates are coming! What the people think - the Records are coming! the Records are coming! Oh my GOD the Records are coming! What the slashdoters think - priceless!
That sounds more praticle than anything; we all know how much some of us would like that opposed to having to enter our information on a 1000 sites! Hope it is more secured than PayPal!:)
I have been apart of the small non-commerical sector of radio, this market containts many non-profit organizations, such as churches, high schools, college and others. These groups cannot afford to record all of their broadcasters. Many of them only record talk shows, news programs, and sports events but many of them broadcast music programs, such as top 40 hits or small local bands. These kinds of programs don't need to be recorded because their is a log of what songs were played from which cd's and records. So if their is a problem, we can check the log. With these new requirements being put in place will force many of these small non-commerical stations to go off the air?
I remember working at a university back in 99, when they decommisioned 2 VAX's. These VAX's were purchased in 86 and was giving an uptime around 13 years, no shutdowns, no reboots, no problems. To thing they replaced them with 6 NT 4 systems. The first week they were up, they had to be reboot multiply times and they became infected with a trojen horse. unfortionalty this first week became a normal week! I guess the university should remember the old statement: "If it's not broke don't fix it!"
This was said late last week by 'The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team' I don't see anything new with this. I.E has been an issue for years, so this really doesn't come to no supprise.
If your computer has nortan antivirus installed on before you update your computer, nortan will detect if something another application is acting like a virus. Since you are losing power to the machine, I would assume to check to see if your computer is overheating or if your have a faulty power supply. You may not have a virus after all!

It's it that way in all industries: What do you think makes a business work: profit! Artists is just a means to make it that's all.
