And paranormal romance. It's impossible to find anything in Amazon's sci-fi category nowadays because of the deluge of that stuff, 99% of which even fans of the genre say is crap.
In practice, what happens with all card readers is that the data is encrypted, and sent to the bank over an encrypted tunnel. There is no point in the way where anything can intercept the unencrypted data and do anything with it. That Square's device does not encrypt the data with an encryption key known only to the device and Square's servers is inexcusable, and I don't know how it passed PCI. It certainly wouldn't meet EMV specifications which is what's required to connect to any of our financial networks here.
In NZ we took it one step further - banks aren't allowed to only offer blended rates like they do overseas, so they actually have to offer interchange-plus rates, where you pay the card network fee plus a transparent markup - even Visa and MasterCard have to compete with each other here.
Dangerous as hell though. It converts the track 2 data into audio, which any app on the iDevice can record. And there was recently a/. story where a researcher got a hold of a recording from a Square swiper, and was able to reconstruct the card data.
Demand all they like - Zuckerberg's shares outvote them by orders of magnitude. And all those shareholders agreed to the company's constitution which sets out those rules.
Uh, no, you can't legally download any of the stuff in the indie bundle promos. They're all software made by independent software/game houses who still happen to sell them - just for less than you would get a AAA game for (and for what it's worth, some of them are reeeeeally fun. Pretty much addicted to Super Crossfire now). But legally download them fro free? No, no you can not.
No, screw that shit. People don't get off simply because the sentence is inconvenient. If you commit a crime, you do the fucking time. He permanently injured two people, and got off pretty much scot free, and you're seriously arguing that if his sentence is inconvenient then he shouldn't be subjected to it? Speaking of assholes... There are ample ways to reach places outside of walking range, including public transport, taxis, and asking someone to drive you there. And expecting you to bloody well organise your own way to your criminal punishment is more than appropriate.
And there's the rub - you still want to be attributed for your work. This lady took his image and used it without permission, attribution or compensation. One would argue that use of an image should still require these three*
Well actually, she kind of did. Copyright law since... well, ever, has also assigned not just the exclusive right to copy a work, but also the right to be recognised as the author of a work (called Moral Rights in Common Law). She has essentially stolen the credit for the work by making it publicly available without properly identifying the author. He has actually been deprived of something there.
Whether you see anything wrong in copying is irrelevant, you should see something wrong with distributing without giving proper credit to the author.
Unfortunately, they're legally required to take down the content they're notified about. Taking down all sites on the account is a bit over the top, and they could probably disable access to the notified content without knocking out the whole site, but "orbital bombardment" is exactly what a DMCA notice achieves.
No, it's really not inappropriate at all. He's proven that he can't be trusted to handle a motor vehicle, suspend his ass. Don't want his kind on the roads, and maybe having to pay a few bucks for bus fares might teach him a lesson.
I don't see why punishment for committing a crime has to be convenient for the criminal. That's the sort of dumb shit that got him the pathetically low sentence in the first place.
Here's the real question, you say that you're not willing to go to live shows, but do you purchase or pirate recorded music? If you pirate it, then exactly what will satisfy you short of the musician coming to your house and giving you all his belongings since you clearly don't believe they deserve any compensation? It annoys me that no matter how many solutions are proposed to the supposed reason for people pirating music, pirates will always have a new justification for why they won't pay for it. First it was "I refuse to pay for DRMed music". Then once the DRM was gone, it was "why should I pay for lossy compressed music? I want it in lossless format". Then when lossless became available (albeit limited places) it was "that doesn't work with AcmeObscureMediaPlayer 3.7554.564. I want it in Vorbis or another patent free format". Then there's "recorded music is just promotional materials. They should do live shows". Then after that it was "Live shows are a major time sink. I don't go to them".
This may not necessarily apply to you. In which case, congratulations on being honest and ethical. But you can bet your ass there's a ton of people here that have used every complaint under the sun to justify their piracy.
Or better yet, if your virtual PC software supports it (MS Virtual PC does) turn on Undo disks, and when they reboot the VM you just select the option "Delete changes". Poof, VM restored back to pre-scammer state.
Windows 7 and higher are the ones where you can remove IE. And it does leave Trident behind. That said, I know Linux will happily let you remove the default browser, but does OS X?
Really? And you have actual evidence that this person is receiving monetary compensation, as opposed to simply... oh, I don't know... being a rabid fanboy much like yourself?

Unfortunately for you, no stock photo artist is willing to sell you anything at what you consider reasonable. Because to them, it is not.
Live Photo Gallery doesn't have clipart. That EXIF data simply indicates that Live Photo Gallery was used to edit the image, likely to crop or resize.
You were right the first time.

* compensation optional.
Oh, give it up Candice.
One of them is owned by the BBC. Nothing like the Righteous Fury of a news organisation with it's copyright infringed, eh?

Yeah, but she claims she'd never heard of the DMCA. Which clearly means that if she's a lawyer she's a pretty shitty one.

You clearly have trouble identifying satire.
At least, I hope that's satire.

I'd like to spend money on Amazon MP3, but Amazon doesn't want me to. Instead I'm stuck with the inferior and more expensive iTunes service.
May work for music, but that model won't work for movies or software. What do you propose there?

They should. The RFC says so.

You don't? Oh, how surprising.
