    Add to that that we can then realistically farm space for solar energy and have a realistic way of getting it down from orbit and it becomes very much a cost positive proposition.

    Won't that increase global warming as more energy is placed inside the atmosphere?

  24. Re:software licenses too? on CSS of DVDs Ruled 'Ineffective' by Finnish Courts · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does this mean that since product keys are widely available on the internet for licensed products, like MS office, XP, etc.. that product key use-protection is ineffective, and therefore it's ok for me to use them as much as i want?

    If you had a legally obtained copy then yes you can do what you want. If you got a illegal copy then it is still illegal

    How about buying a widely-available automatic pick gun to break into someone's house? It's not trespassing then, right?

    Using the pick gun is not illegal. Going into the house is.

    All this ruling does is allows you to break the access control. It does not give you the right to COPY materials.
