  1. Re:Eck on Software To Stop Song Trading · · Score: 0, Troll
    Well then the RIAA database will just say that ever possible numeric sequence from one zero(0) to a stream of all one(1)s is a copyrighted song and therefore should be BLOCKED.

    That's what the RIAA is after anyway isn't it? Unless they get payment any form of commincation is ellegal.

    While I generally like your idea. There are a few minor problem with:
    I've got a better idea yet. Force all the spammers to label all their spam [SPAM] and we're all set.

    First) SPAM is a Trademark word/spelling by Horment. See http://www.spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm

    Second) Please define what is a "Spam type email" that doesn't legally cover almost every possible email message.

    What do you mean "make a subdirectory and copy the disk into the directory"? I knew user who would skip the "make subdirectory" part and just copy the disk to the harddrive, because it was easier to find the files.

    Well you just do:

    ln -s /uri/)install/gimp.org/gimp4.5/app /usr/bin/gimp

    Or something else to that effect.

    In order to make it runable from the PATH.

    If you look at the "Zero Install" docs they show a number of ways to handle things like this.

    Well with Zero Install setup and application setup to use the AppDir format. Then all you would have to do when asked which program does such and such is say, "/uri/0install/{apps site}/{apps name}" if it's already been copied to the cache then it just runs, otherwise it's "copied" to the cache and ran.

    See http://zero-install.sourceforge.net/ for more details.
