You are a moron for titling your post Imagine This. I'll tell you why. It sounds like an advertisement for this sort of crap not an argument.
I am an artist. I use CDRs to store my stuff for sale. I do not need to pay the German gov't a tax (through increased prices on equipment) which never comes back to me, the artist.
I also use pen and paper. I've heard there's artists out there who use pen and paper to copy other artists' lyrics.
Okay give me back my negative money and pay me for my troubles collecting it.
Yeah... ok. Australia Village Idiot #1, Germany wants to join the list?
I'm sick and tired of the idea that the consumer cannot be an artist and has no rights to the proper equipment.
Fuck off assholes.
I really get the feeling we're just arguing the case for the plaintiffs free of charge. LET THEM FUCKING STATE THE TERMS THEMSELVES ALREADY IN BIG FUCKING LETTERS THAT'S WHAT FIGLET IS FOR.
Questions:
Can I copy a recording?
Do I have to pay for a new recording of something I already own if I no longer have the performance equipment or it isn't manufactured anymore?
Can I play a recording over the PA system of the whole school?
Can I play a recording over the whole networked audio environment in my house?
Can I play something over the net to friends?
Can i make compilations?
Can I play songs made by others?
Can I change those songs?
Can I arrange music written by others (think anime videos aoundtracked with songs like Du Hast)
There's a need for programmers because the companies are bogus. They don't know the first thing about the industry. They come in ready to IPO like on the first day.
No programmers who want to have time left with other people they care about are going to spend time working toward a dead end.
They're not the managers. They're not paid to design the application this industry really need. In fact they don't get much of a say to that effect.
You might find it hard to believe but people get sick of making vapor for someone else. And it's not even a question of some useless altruism. It's a question of sanity. That's all. There's a point where the buzzwordphiles make it impossible to get any bearing on where the company is going what they are developing and whether the developers really have a future. The hype becomes unbearable. Put simply the lack of any direction is disorienting and nauseating.
No they won't. The jobs available are available because no self-respecting programmer would work for a company that looks like a day-trader's fantasy. No programmer cares to deal with the crap of working for a company they full well will fail.
My last boss was sued by Microsoft when the license for software they installed years ago was superceded by new licenses. It even said so in the license.
"demagogical pabulum."
Yack yack watch your back this guy thinks he's a smart hack (to the words Let Me Clear My Throat).
Ironic, that's the sort of that thing that shut down the Israeli-Palestinian summit recently.
Barak suggested Jerusalem and other hily places should placed in the hands of a third party. Arafat correctly chose to not take his offer without offering the idea to his people. Neither side is ready to deal with that. Think of the way the US cries out about free speech and about the same thing would happen over religion.
Course Clinton just had to rush it just to leave a mark on his way out.

At the end of the day the work I did cost me nothing.
It's a matter of how you do it.
I have debian but I'll be damned if I'll just download any old file that comes along. If someone's got a prepackaged w/ manual box at Best Buy's I'm getting that.
At the end of the day I want payment, maybe if it's not just a hack. But I'd rather be getting work done during the day than futzing with the downloads.
self-serving my ass. If they had been self-serving those fools would take a break breaking from being asses long enough to enjoy their servings. I hardly think there's anything in particular they want for themselves.
Well you know it's one of those cases where there's only two sides to the coin. You and he have mentioned both. We already know the truth. Now we do something about it and it;s going to be even more unexpected than the monitoring they are doing.
It will be subtle, embarassing to opponents, and complete unstoppable, yet absolutely harmless.
Walking into a grocery store doesn't give Joe Blow the right to check store owned camera tapes for every person that had entered the store.
That's why it's under privacy.
It's also under YRO because of the word RIGHTS in the title of the section. These laws are made on incredibly vague terms (the fact that I'm not puking my guts out is only because I have a class to go soon). Why have access to only student's use? Why not the teacher's use as well? Where's the line drawn? Where's the bloody logic Mr. No brainer. I'm an idiot. Explain it to me genius.
Hello? If you access the internet via a public resource such as a school or publid library, then you shouldn't expect much privacy.
Okay first of all please refrain from reasoning that ignores context. The word public does not qualify on its own as an argument. Try a bit harder. Second, please give me a reason why I shouldn't expect privacy. Should someone be able to look over students' shoulders at what they are reading? Is being a student some sort sub human rank to you, asshole?
If I drive on the public highway, you have no right to request information about what all the people were doing on it.
As stated, these are logged and as such, are public property subject to the FOI act. Seems like a no-brainer.
Agin, where's the context? C'mon have the decency to present your case. Traffic logging and content logging are completely different things. One records bandwidth use, the other information they have no right to. Otherwise, by your approach (which I have to say is unnacceptably subjective), people do not own the content on the sites they visit some of which may be private like for example a point where people share personal things or private things like places to meet after school or business plans (oh I forgot students aren't human they have no ambitions and no rights to them, cuz you know it's just ain't natural for students to want a future for themselves).
Yack all you want about how students should be productive citizens contributing to society, in practice you're full of shit.
God, it's like it's a sin to want to control a bit of your life these days. People love to discuss pompously profound statements and questions like why do you expect privacy?
It's a network of people. There is no complete visibility get over it. Try telling a western lawman 100+ years ago that it's the west and he should expect no ownership of property.
In the words of Stan (I think) from a South Park episode a few nights ago: "Suck my balls", and yes I'd be glad to "present them." Name the time and place and the photographer.

I don't see the fucking point.
The data is always the same. It is encrypted. The key is only known by Freenet. Not by the author not by anyone.
Popularity only makes it closer to the people who want content.
That's all.
It doesn't cause unpopular things to disappear.

I want my Euclidean geometry damn it. Every huckster's making the news lately.
Maybe the CEO should get a clue and ask for a profitable product to be made.
Somewhere out there a poor script-kiddie got a hard-on.

It's this pathetic need to group things that gets us to a point whre some genius says if we don't make an adult TLD then adult doesn't exist.
Which in the case of the other sense of adult as someone over the age and maturity of an 18 year-old ends up being what is created.
Adult maturity disappears yet adult content remains.
Huge difference. People still don't get it.

You're on crack.
What would be the point of libraries if everyone had to buy wireless service to their l;aptops everywhere they went.
Sorry, states only get their powers from the people around here. There must be concessions on BOTH sides. I'm about sick and tired of giving.
The roads are state owned in most states. How's that work out asshole?

As strong as digital signatures?
Art thou on crack? If so what brand crack of art on thou?
A fax counts as digitally secure and binding. Yuck. A 5 year old could forge one easy. Clicks count as a binding agreement.
Digital signatures may be strong "legally" in that you can get sued even if you don't even own a computer, but that only makes me more worried.
The other thing was:
Someone earlier mention an interesting chain of authentication to prove that they were who they said they were.
How about having the user enter the key into the system to decrypt that days instructions on how to finish authenticating.
