And the authors/creators of the work aren't entitled to natural rights, only artificial rights the public bestowed on them in the name of public good. The system is abused now, it needs to change.
Get over yourself. Your analogy was useless. How is an allowance, which should be a reward - something earned, like a shoe which enforces tv restrictions?
It's absurd to be expected to pay for a service unable to be delivered. Just because it's legal and just because it happens, doesn't mean it should occur.
IMHO consumers' rights should blow companies rights away. There was no bad faith on his part, he just moved.
I'm all for this model. You see, the less successful artists, 99% of the musicians out there - will be forced to leave the clutches of the RIAA and start making money and music in a more reasonable way. Be it selling mp3s, playing concerts or what have you. They'll have to stake out their own business model, out of the protection of the riaa- back into reality.
And we wonder why every mass-market electronic media outlet is DRM'ed to the gills.
Because they are greedy and copyright, DMCA does not serve the interest of the people?
Because judges and polices officers are entitled to more rights and protection than regular people? I don't think so.....
And this is coming from someone who aspires to be a judge, or atleast be in the legal field.
When the priveleged have more rights and the misbalance is there, that's when it falls aparts.
I wouldn't be surprised, I have an mpx200 and everytime I think of getting an mp3 player I think, why not get a bigger sd card instead...
That said...I personally like having my devices seperate...Ill prolly end up with both.
His blog has more than enough information regarding this situation. If you had not been too busy being an idiot, you may have realized that.
If you really don't care, skip it and don't post - oh wait, you do.
so the advertisers will pay through the roof for impressions that have no conversion because we refuse to do business with them. Eventually they pull their ads.
Don't blame the parent....MSM has forgotten what corrections, facts and the truth are so the public gets confused when someone makes a mistake and actually fixes it.
If a book from a series fails to stand on its own, then it is lacking quality. A good author will make sure the text is self sufficient. That is not to say there isn't a hell of a lot more to be gained from reading the earlier works, but they should not be a requisite. If it is, then publish as a larger work, rather than seperate ones.
You will notice that the highly reputable and famous series all are able to stand on their own.
Yes. It's a wonder why we even have packages like bugzilla anyhow. Nobody tests and reports bugs in opensource software. Ever. Nobody fixes them, either. Ever.
Actually, this is an issue. My library, at a major university, had a document that you used to "evaluate" web sources. They used the TLD as a determining factor of value, listing.org as a non-profit organization, as well as labeling other tlds (ie:.com commercial). I explained to my class that restrictions on domain names are not there, and a TLD is meaningless, aside from.edu/gov/mil etc. My professor emailed them my corrections, though I do not know if they incorporated them yet.
That, or you could realize that texbooks rarely actually "go out of date", and any updates are usually drivel only intended to produce a new version to sell. I have a feeling this about a lot more thant having an alternative to books. They could easily be recycling out-of-use, landfill bound books from other countries if that were the case. It seems they are more interested in exposing kids to technology and its intrinsic benefits.

More like all the little people who will be crushed by this prolonged scam. Darl will be rich regardless.

Just because a movie sells tickets doesn't mean a thing. Look at the movies that rack in big bucks, yet suck.

Less flexibility? How about the fact you can buy the one track you want without the 14 other POS fillers?

I didn't know photoshop was a 64 bit app.
Adsense is what webmasters use to display adwords to get paid. Adwords is what advertisers pay for.
Thats all it is. Move along, nothing to see.
shorten it to greed and you got it right. Americans are no worse than other humans.
except when they say its invalid and want you to resend.... then they demand original upcs...which they have thrown away.
Press Release != article If there is an honest, journalistic article written about a product/service then sure. But a Press Release is a joke.
