  1. Too bad on Porn Maker Sues 7,000+ For Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    I thought the p0rn industry to be a more understanding and actually love the propagation of their materials through torrents,
    trust me, once you are a janine fan, you want all her movies....you go out and buy them, but the rest, you could really do without because bad acting or just overall low budget crap, you would not spend a dime on it, why worry about those individuals in the end???

  4. How the F*CK? on Major Security Holes Found In Mobile Bank Apps · · Score: 1

    Really, I mean come on, after 20 years of online banking, they would come back to these junior level mistakes.
    Someone should lose their job for lack of competence...and I am not talking about the junior programmers!
    Quality control is management level responsibility, and if you have no nunit testing tools, or diagnostics tools, you hire a firm that does, especially when dealing with banking info like this.

    Thanks to the company that did the research , we nipped it in the bud, how many more problems like this are out there though....
    I would donate to this company to keep doing this type of research, and also help push the word of donations to all who would use online banking, it could become a staple in online affairs, a company like this one gets enough money to continue what they started, and find all the bugs on iphone apps for online banks of all sorts.

  5. Re:Ill gotten gains on Considering a Fair Penalty For Illegal File-sharing · · Score: 1

    This is exactly the case when it comes to the industries proving their losses because of piracy, they treat each download as a sale, and therefor money lost, however, not factoring in the fact that no one would have ever really gone and bought the last xxx album from xxx artist. So technically, they are assuming that each person who downloaded it, was going to buy it anyways, which is extremely false, as you mention.

    I never knew of the show The IT Crowd from the UK, but after downloading it at the mention of a friend, I watched it, and was astounded by its amazing writing. Great comedy for the geeks. However, I never would have known about it, or even thought to buy it, as we got no UK tv over here...am I a thief, I don't believe so, I never kept the episodes after watching them, I just watched them....hence, I do not really think it fair the way they try to calculate the pricing for such things.

    I wonder if we do this to the Mexicans by always sending off some toxic cloud into their side of the border, if after awhile, they would develop some form of resistance, pretty sad, that we as humans seem to so destroy and desecrate all other life forms on this planet without the slightest bit of remorse, yet only when do we really do something as offensive to each other do we realize we might not be living by rational standards.

    Just take a good look at detroit on google maps, it is disgusting that a full city could have been let to deteriorate to this point....
    it was heavily dependent on the car industry, and then when all the plants took their operations offshore, look what happened, you have empty skyscrapers for god's sake......the abandoned cars in the middle of downtown.

    I would recommend maybe offering the immigrants from india to all move to downtown detroit, with giving them a contract stating they have to stay there at least 10 years before becoming full citizens of the US, and you could import 3 million immigrants to morrow, and fully repopulate that area, and trust me, the immigrants from those poor countries would find ways of making their lives work with what they are given....they would not just leave at the first sign of trouble, like a lot of investors did leaving behind so many empty buildings.

    By doing this, you keep the industry HERE, and also help out those nations buy giving them jobs here and offering them a better life.
    I am sure the indian government would not mind...

    I guess it really depends on how much you can make from a small patch of skin, as I think it is based on the piece of skin size that will determine this. As much as I might want to get some skin turned into blood to save my life, what sort of life are you going to have if you had to use up your whole backside to get your blood, and what would you replace the skin with on your backside, you would not leave it

  12. Sick to my stomach on Jammie Thomas Hit With $1.5 Million Verdict · · Score: 1

    I am not sure whey they keep repeating the same thing, if she wanted to not pay the 25k or 50k then does that mean she goes to federal court, if so, then once twice three times your out??? If this goes wrong, how many times can she come back to ask "can you rethink this case".

    We live in quebec, where file sharing is legal.
    The onus falls on the record company to not make a media format that is copiable. Like in the day of VHS , if you lent your vhs tape
    to your friend, and he copied it, were you legally held accountable, NO! If you paid for your copy, you owned it, to lend if you like to anyone out there...

    For music, the industry seems to be trying to change the rules on the fly, as there was no money made on her part which is clearly stated as being the premise for legal ramifications by the FBI (at beg. of all VHS)....also the reason I keep bringing VHS up is because this is when that part of the law was written....so back then there was no forsite that technology would advance
    to the point it has, allowing us to mass produce movies like we can....is that our fault, technologies fault, or the industries fault for not making an effort to encrypt their stuff.

    You can say that if i have a knife and i use it to kill someone , it is not the knife creators that should be held accountable.
    That being said, you should not hold a scientist liable when a nuclear bomb goes off, but we do....this area is very grey...
    Drug dealers should not be held accountable for the drugs they sell, they do not force their junkies to use...
    Alcohol companies do not force alcoholics to drink, and airplane companies do not force terrorists to fly into buildings.

    We have a grey area, and in this case the record companies seem to forget back in the VHS days it was plain an clear that reproduction was for mass distribution to make money with, not sharing a few files with friends on the internet. Funny how we
    are not focusing more on the fact that record and movie companies play with the accounting books and are able to use a dummy company to say that harry potter lost 700 million dollars and that the company harrypotter6 will go bankrupt, and now the tax payers are left holding the bag....I think that this is one sided, let's not focus on the fact that MGM still made a killing on harry potter
    but had no taxes to pay because of that creative accounting, but they are worried about the lost revenue from the torrents online for that very same movie.

    I do not see her making a fortune with this file sharing, I see no wrong, as a friend would lend another friend some cds , and that friend were to make their own copies to listen to....I do not see them breaking down any doors for that....they just want to make an example out of her which seems to me pretty sad.

  16. Netflix + torrent? on Will Netflix Destroy the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Netflix should implement the torrent tech for their streaming of files, while you watch as not only would it make sure that the content is ready for you should you wish to fast forward...but also make less of a demand on the internet, no? Unless they already do...if 5 people in the same area of the country are downloading to watch the same movie, only once do you need to stream it down as a whole, where the rest would be filled up using only that section of the internet's ip address to torrent the file.

    I never saw it that way, being a developer myself, I tend to want to not believe what you say, but the model is appallingly apparent. If we saw money based on if our software works instead of just by selling this greatly packaged piece of crap, you might make windows come down to its knees.

    It would be nice to start having a new business model for softwares at the office where the usage is rated based on how many bugs there are, thereby affecting the monthly rate to use the software.

    In india it is ok for a man to set his wife on fire if she thinks she was cheating on him without any proof without so much as a slap on the hand, and they want to blame everyone's hatred on something else other then their own actions. Few like Americans, but Americans understand this, because they are different then the rest of the world, and own up to it, if the Brits did something that someone else deems wrong in their eyes, dont try to force YouTube to limit someone else's point of view because it does not fit with yours.....where is your chant against Ozzy, because his music cites people to suicide, where is you chant against India for setting women on fire (which in my point of view is NEVER ok to do), let's take care of these problems first, as it has been there much longer then your prime minister's fear for himslef was.

    >It will happen about the same time that "white collar crimes"
    If you are talking about things like that guy that stole 50 billion dollars....and got a slap on the wrist, that might be because none of the affected parties came together and pushed for a hard sentence, they all separately did their own thing, where as if this person had stolen 50 billion dollars from just one company, that company would have had the legal weight to throw the book at him with.

    I think it would be great to finally get more people understanding that cyber crime is crime and not juts haxors having fun....too many people are too easily swayed from pressing charges when it comes to computer stuff, because they have no time or patience for it. The company (like gene simmons) that has been dddosed repeatedly (don't even know why really), seems to me would be a great starting point.

    If we can start applying more awareness on that subject, the more it comes out, the more people know what they can do when it happens to them, the more it sets precedents.

    such as the wraith in stargate atlantis...you would have no real reason to be upset that you are enslaved as to them you have no more intelligence then what cows seem to have to us.

    This is a subject I find most peculiar, as you get to see what people consider their rights as humans vs. their rights as species living on a planet with more then 1 species to consider.
