Hey Hey now...
It was the 'european settlers' that started that. It took hundreds of years of stirring the gene pool to get that hot european conquest blood diluted to the point where things could settle down.:)
I don't know what Libraries have to do to have the rights to loan books out, but what google is doing seems to me to be a better option for writers and publishers.
Quote from Google Print: Click a book title and you'll see the page of the book that has your search terms, along with other information about the book and "Buy this Book" links to online bookstores (you can view the entirety of public domain books or, for books under copyright, just a few pages or in some cases, only the title's bibliographic data and brief snippets). You can also search for more information within that specific book and find nearby libraries that have it.
For a copyrighted book the user would still have to go to either a retailer(online or brick and mortar) or a library to view full contents. Allowing a user to view a few pages of a work IS allowed under fair use. So I don't see how what google is doing is illegal.
Cassette tape: approx 15 mins to record at 4x dubbing, requires hundreds of recorders. retail Cost 10-15$
CD/DVDs: approx 60 can be stamped per minute on ONE machine. Retail Cost $15-20
Full album download: approx 50MB, costs pennies to store and distribute. Cost $10 and rising?
Somebody tell me why my butt feels so sore...
2) Scare off more consumers by telling them their music is illegal to have
2.5) make the government pass more laws requiring people to buy music the RIAAs way. (kinda like car insurance, we all have to have it)
2.6)leverage their 'services' into every nook and cranny they can find so people don't have any idea they're paying for music they don't want.
Until some other form of broadcast DRM hits and your precious pre-broadcat flag tuner becomes useless. This is just the beginning. The MPAA/RIAA don't want any media to be outside of their control. Thank the supreme court for killing FCCs broadcast flag, all that means is that it will take vendors longer to agree on a far reaching DRM scheme. Once that happens heaven help us all.
In the meantime visit independent artists and show your support cuz they're all that we few free consumers will be able get without restrictions.
Not everyone loves technology, they don't all go OMFG ITS A NEW VERSION OF MY SOFTWARE!!!! I MUST HAVE IT NOW!!!
No, but how many people have so far been forced to upgrade from Win95 to something newer when MS announced its end of life and newer MS technologies don't work on it?
Or this one.. WHEN not if, MS announces end of life for WinXP how are you going to get a new activation code when you install a new hard drive? I know that alone has been a large driving force behind my move to linux.
Or to recover data when that poor excuse for a robust operating system claims the hard drive is unbootable. (actually had this happen at work, LAN support said the PC was unrepairable and they couldn't recover any data. I said screw that, told the user to shut it down while I burned a DSL CD, and 30 mins later he had 4 CDs worth of his data.)
What does oil have to do with this? Why were we paying an average of $2.60 per gallon and CLIMBING, BEFORE Katrina. Obviously we were stealing iraqi oil and still price gouging to cover up for it.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever the heck you want all it does is say the government can't prevent you from it. There are still consequences for saying whatever you want.
While I don't believe he did anything illegal per se, I certainly don't think he should have exposed a critical flaw in the forum that he did.

I guess this means we can't store our music Albums/tracks on our pc's in a logical oranised way.
All kidding aside that was a dumb patent.
and when they break?...... I highly doubt anybody would be able to build a company around 'tombstone repair'
