In that case, suppose he wrote his own song, titled it "Yesterday" and happened to save it to his 1337 up104d3r folder. What proof does the *IAA/M. Jackson have that the file in question contains the song in question? If they download the file via something like BitTorrent to find out, and it's really Scrithy's new song, wouldn't they now be violating his copyright to his IP?
I believe Scrithy's real question is: how do they know that the suspiciously-named files have content that would constitute a copyright violation?
Corollary: If they're downloading everyone's music collections to check the contents, the RIAA must have a massive server farm somewhere storing all of their "evidence"... anyone want to find it for me?;)

Because of all these effects, we could eventually see the population spread out more evenly thoughout the contintents instead oh having much of the land empty with a few areas densely populated (we would still have still have densely populated areas -just not as many and much less dense).
Most of that "empty" land you're talking about isn't empty at all - it's being put to use already, making the food that you buy at your friendly neigborhood UltraMegaGroceryMarket. Before a serious shift away from the current urban/rural paradigm can be made, somebody is going to have to figure out some clever way to feed everyone who's suddenly decided they want to move away from the cities.
the question is "How come the NSA haven't gone all Enemy of the State on Diebold's collective ass?" I mean we are talking about the most important set of communications in the world's most wealthy democracy: who the people want to run their country.
All the hoopla in Enemy of the State only happened when a corrupt politician was in danger of getting caught being corrupt. Since the NSA hasn't had to "go all Enemy of the State" on anyone, it must be reasonable to infer that our corrupt politicians are safe... how comforting.
I will not be watching a single Olympic event, on the internet, on TV, hearing it on the radio etc. They are, as far as I am concerned, a complete non-event so much so that they may as well not even happen. The entire circus is dead to me.
I am voting with my eyes and my dollars. I am not watching the olympics and avoiding anything that supports is.
If you're not watching the broadcasts and their advertisements, how will you know which companies and products to avoid?
It seems to me that a much better solution is to go out to the store and buy 2 competing products of each type (i.e. a bottle each of Coke and Pepsi, a Gillette and a Schick razor, Apple and Dell computers..), and sit down to watch all 1250 hours of Olympic coverage. When the appropriate advertisements appear on the tv, use the competing products. I'm sure that these companies will get the message when they sift through your garbage later and find all of their products unused!
