March 29 is the date set for oral arguments in MGM v Grokster when the major movie studios and Big Music cartel will once again try to force a decision saying p2p companies can be held responsible if customers use their p2p software to infringe copyrights.
The entertainment industry has already lost once on this in District Court, and again at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
But Hollywood won't take an unequivocal court decision for an answer and is now trying to bludgeon the US the Supreme Court into reversing.
"The lower court rulings were based on the Supreme Court's landmark decision in the 1984 Sony Betamax case, which determined that Sony was not liable for copyright violations by users of the Betamax VCR," says the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) which is representing Morpheus owner StreamCast Networks.
A final decision is expected by the end of July 2005.

Hmm, which do you think the corporations will go with?
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Is this just Compaq/HP? If so, just don't buy from them?
They can market them as space-heaters when they get their dual-cores out~
It's hard typing correctly all the time with only one hand free. ;)
Are you sure it wasn't running a prototype of the dual-core P4s?
...they'll send you ads based on what you say? :)

It was an on-site power failure -- I don't see how you can blame them (new owners) on that...
Ok, thanks. I didn't actually "read" any of it yet~ :)
Where is Day 2?

Looks like we might be in for a close shave this time.... (sorry.)
We'll all be lucky, because IE won't be updated to handle the newer internets until many years later. ;)
Even a fully patched sp2 is in danger. Good news for Firefox fanboys?

Surely there will be many "Liberate Them" comments, but can't the citizens of Iran communicate their dislike to the ISPs or the government?
Katamari Damacy comes to mind. Cheap, creative, and fun.
I dont know about you all, but I have the "I'm too lazy to use any sort of logical storing" complex. :)
Copernic is also the only one on TFA that can search Firefox.

if it hits the moon maybe we won't have to worry about showing proof for landing on the moon.
So no real news? ...Oh, it's about Apple/iTunes/iPod.
Nevermind. :)
I like the name. :P
Pretty good, but not quite good enough? Sounds like a name that someone could get into if they really wanted to~ (the govt.)

Does this mean you could play wireless games on a PSP while you travel with the others on-board? Well, for 90 minutes or so at least?
