Legitimate use would be getting all those who have a right to see it together to watch it at once. Or even over multiple viewings??
As I understand it, fair use copying is basically for backup purposes only. If any one of those copies left the office place, and strict domain of the "Job" giving them the right to access one of these copies...sounds pretty clear cut violation to me.
I can copy a DVD and let it sit on my shelf while i watch the original, i can watch the copy and let the original sit on the shelf, i can watch the original in one room while a friend watches the copy in another room, but as soon as original leaves my possession, i must destroy the copies, and as soon as i let my friend borrow just he copy, i get sued. So basically, the "copies" of the dvd must have been used strictly in the same manner that the original could have been used. I.E. employees cannot take them home.
I almost always go take a gander and DIGG after spending my regular 2 hours here. Sure, digg has articles sometimes a few days before slashdot, but, like everyone else i'm sure notices, we have intelligent discussion here (and of course flames and flamebait, but hey, it's entertaining). Also, on digg, there'are waaaaaay too many stories saying "OMG we can compete with slashdot!!". I'd say atleast once a day there's something to that effect, yet we rarely post articles about it. We're not worried, but they clearly feel inferior, for good reason.
Just 8 hours ago this story was on the digg front page: http://digg.com/technology/Digg_Just_Might_Bury_Sl ashdot
Also we already have a digg article about the slashdot article. And these are only the ones that make their front page.
I just think DIGG users are too self absorbed in trying to be cooler than us, when their comment system utterly lets down any intelligent discussion.
So i think i'm headed out to the store to buy a couple cd's that contain this XPC rootkit crap, and hope I can get some sweet class action cash. Not that i'd ever be caught dead listening to the music, but maybe i could give them to a friend, and have them sue me for ruining their computer and valuable ($100,000,000) work. Then i can sue Sony because their cd cost me $100,000,000......fu#ck, someone just give me money.
Some people write letters on their own initiative. It may be safe to assume 1/4 of the letters he wrote, he recieved a response to, and didn't require response from himself, again. So in theory a whole quarter of those recieved could been "Gee thanks Einstein" and required to response. So only half the letters that could have warrented a response were not responded to. Leaving 1/2 Fully unresponded. I think somewhere in here is a related rates problem, but i'm too lazy to do it. +mod for who does.
okay i'm a few months away from getting one, so this will be the start of my research. do any portable video players have a USB port that i could plug a USB memory stick into it for transfer? i'm also looking for video output, and audio output. and have digital audio out?
if there's not a sweet player out there, i'll just wait for apple's Video Airport thingy.
anyone have any suggestions?
The mcdonald's restraunts by my house have leather furniture in a coffee house style arrangement, possibly fake leather, i dont go it. One of them even has a baby grand piano and a fireplace. I doubt they're made of the cheapest plastic available.
Why dont we sue the RIAA for not protecting the artists music in the first place? Clearly the negligence caused artists to lose money, and without money they cannot but copius amounts of inspiration (drugs, hookers, booze, whathaveyou). Thus their most recent album sucked: causing me much suffering. About $200,000 in emotional damages. Metallica anyone?
If i had the risk of getting in trouble for what people did on my connection, i'd sure as hell make it secure. Wait. I already do that, it's called safe sex...errr... security.
This just in: Chinese government dismayed in the decrease of hits per day to their democratic slander and propoganda pages. Millions of Online Democracy Bashers out of jobs!
In their chatrooms though, they are forbidden from saying that "the United States' adoption of democracy is the single worst idea in history". They dont want Democracy to exist, even as an idea. It DOES exist, regardless of any constitution's or policy's thoughts of it, and any attempt to hide that fact is just ridiculous.
It would never happen that the US would block all online material with reference to "bombs" and "nuclear power plants" just because we're afraid of ANY thought of that in ANY context. Bombs exist. Nuclear power plants exist. Democracy Exists. The End.
If someone doesn't understand my EET 207 class, tough shit, the professor wrote the book, planned out every signle lecture and gave us ALL the slides at the beginning of the semester, and has video of last semester's lecture on the website. It's not going to change a damn bit if 30% of the class doesnt understand a topic, except he's going to put that topic on the exam. But he already knows who doesn't understand it because of the homework and labs and quizzes. A clicker is only going to reduce things to multiple choice. What a waste of effort.
in 500 + miles of mountain biking in arizona, my zen has never complained of the sweat, heat, and my 180 lbs landing on it and rolling at 30 mph. it's really weird to regain conciousness with The Mar Volta blasting in your ears.
condoms and a lighter, for me. all things my girlfriend is happy i have for our sex problem and smoking habbit. no, smoking problem and sex habbit. wait. whatever. sometimes its all the same thing.
surround sound? i've had maybe 7 or 8 people bring their xbox over to my apartment to hook it up to my HDTV and surround sound. aparently NOBODY had any clue they have to buy something else to get surround sound. atleast the PS2 has a built in optical connector. that's true support: not having to buy something else.
agreed on all accounts. even an upsampling dvd player does do justice to what my HDTV can do, no way am i gonna watch some divx quality movie for even half the price of renting a dvd
as well as my stereo system and home theater setup. never would i pay the have the amount for a 128kbps mp3 as i would for a CD to play it through that.
In 1998, German-based Daimler-Benz, which owns Mercedes-Benz, merged with Chrysler to form DaimlerChrysler. They kept the product line totally seperate, for a while, but that new Chrysler coupe has quite a bit of benz heritage in it, imho.

I take it then, that you haven't played the GTR racing simulator. Now THAT is a seriously awesome simulator.
As for off road, Richard Burns Rally takes the cake.
I agree. If it were up to us slashdotters, these plans would be in the trashcan now. Nobody knows what will be possible in the future. The sun used to revolve around a square earth, phones used to need a cord, and even a 56k modem was fast at one point.
The FCC has been limiting our technological advancement for YEARS. We can't pick up a HiDef TV signal on a moving antenna here in the states, but in Europe, you can't even tell a difference. Even our regular TV broadcasts are severely hurt by movement. And that's not even the top of the iceburg.

so...Apple is sending me an unencrypted file. Sounds really easy to not encrypt it. A new patch would be easy to recrack. He knows what the program looks like, he just spots the changes and reverses them. REALLY easy to do. They would most likely have to rewrite the whold thing for it to trip him up...
