In what we call P2P sharing, the down-loaders are also uploading multiple copies too, causing them to be easy to sue seriously.
But can you prove that in court? If you send someone 99.9% of a torrent will they be able to watch the movie? If it's rared they won't even be able to open it.
You didn't make a copy. Oh you copied part of it? How does that work without making use of the digit 1 infringement against every copyrighted work ever?
With BT style P2P it's possible to never send anyone the full work. This includes the original seeder. How have you made a copy at that point?
It's a legal loophole. No one makes a copy yet everyone ends up with a copy. There's no law against possession of an illegally made copy the only crime is illegally making a copy.
This is why they had to create the secondary crime of contributing to or accessory to copyright infringement.
I can redownload games on Steam if I have to, so I use Steam. (The DRM is also unobtrusive.) I can't redownload songs on iTunes without paying for them, so I don't use iTunes. Simple as that.
With Steam: You also have to ask permission to install/use/transfer/do anything your subscription. You cannot backup your subscription. In fact you have no control over your subscription. Figuratively or literally. Your subscription can be revoked at any time! I've still yet to hear how this is an acceptable term?
None of these things are true with itunes. None. You have complete control. Can make infinitive copies and backups. It's impossible for them to revoke your purchase.
That's nice but I shouldn't have to search for pictures of it. Additionally both sites are blocked from where I am currently. The company's page is not.
If a company can't be bothered to put up pictures of an $8500 dollar item it raises huge red flags. It's at best an unprepared/unprofessional/incapable company. At worst it's a scam.
You're not quite accurate. They're against government social program. Private ones are just fine. The idea is that charity should be voluntary otherwise it's just another tax.
*shrug* Just exploit the system that lists what good files are.
Or the standard social engineering that goes on. Just pop up a window that says, "omg windows is trying to install an important update. Your machine will detonate sending shrapnel into your face if you don't click here." Then the user lets the trojan onto the "good" list.
The average user can't tell what is a good file and what isn't.
Apply that logic to another item you own. How about pants? Do you need to be able to wear your pants continuously? No but if that 5 minutes of down time happens during the middle of your interview you're going to be seriously affected.
Yes sensational but I'm trying to point out the flaw is your position. It's based on an invalid assumption. Said assumption is that they don't need 100% uptime because you can't play 100% of the time. They can have near perfect up time but if I can't use an item I purchased legally when I want to use it we have a problem.
Just apply the basic logic to any other device you own. Would you be ok with calling Levi and asking to wear your pants. With the possibility that they may not answer and leave you pant less. Time to go to bed better call the bed company. Your car? Your pen? Your wallet?
DRM does not stop piracy. Put something trivial, and unobtrusive, on to stop the casual pirates and move on.
There's a simple fix for media. Allow the sale of unclassified material. I don't understand why not being classified prevents sale. Other than censorship that is.
So in order to prevent the small (population) states from being subject to the whim of the larger states you set up a system where any state can force it's views on all other states; resulting in exactly the thing you were trying to avoid?
They are completely broken and taken together are in fact draconian.
Here are the parts:
1. Material refused classification cannot be sold.
2. Any Attorney General has veto power over the rating of something.
3. South Australia has ~7.2% of the total population of Australia.
That means that 82.8% of the population is subject to the whims of a politician they _cannot_ vote for or against. The only thing they can do is to change the system as a whole. They can't touch Atkinson.
People like to point fingers at Atkinson but who the fuck created a system where one state can veto _anything_? With no chance of overriding said veto. That's not democracy.

You may bypass encryption for fair use.
Title 17 Chapter 12 Section 1201
Really? Then what does Title 17 Chapter 1 Section 107 of the US Code cover?
According to the text of the law it's "Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use"

Itunes blows the doors off steam.

What FA are you talking about? The only links are to their web page which has no pictures.
How can you look at it? There are no pictures of it. Just concept renderings. Does it even exist?
Where's the picture? They expect people to spend $8500 on spec?
For all we know this is conceptual only. Have they ever made a table?
Give us something other than renders please!
Yes but bearing and position of what? Without the transponder you can't do anything with the info because you don't know who or what the blip is.
Also transponders are only required if you're entering controlled airspace.
So what? The current system is breached repeatedly. All you had to do was turn off your transponder.
Slight problem with that. How do you define stupid?
Every single injury I received as a youth was due to stupidity. Stupidity is the primary side effect of youth.
I think riding a motorcycle without a full set of armor is suicide but it's legal where I live.
Health nuts would define eating meat as stupid.
All runners are stupid as running _will_ cause knee problems at some point.
What about sports players. It was stupid to jump for that ball and hurt yourself. It was obvious you couldn't get it.
Your position horribly skews the system toward denying anything it can.
So you're saying we should forbid medical treatment from people who do stupid things, for example not wear a helmet?
You're not quite accurate. They're against government social program. Private ones are just fine. The idea is that charity should be voluntary otherwise it's just another tax.
To heck with churches. Check out the HMOs in the states. How the fuck is an insurance company a non-profit?

Which means that the company has to refund your money if you refuse the EULA. The case that established that was blizzard v bnetd.
That's incorrect.
If the contract is only viewable after purchase then the company _must_ offer a refund if you decline the contract.
The case that established this is blizzard v bnetd. Look at the WoW EULA before this case and look at it now.
Good luck with that. You should have read the contract you signed before you installed.
Never heard of them. How many copies did they sell? Sounds like a case of no one gives a fuck.
Dongles are routinely broken. If they could make an unbreakable dongle then they would be selling unbreakable dongles not tank sims.

Alter the program so it doesn't check the dongle. Next!
You are underestimating the ability of fools. This is often fatal.
They will learn to quickly identify the keys to make the error go away without actually reading the error.
