Consider the Case of Raymond Griffiths. He is better know the to world as Bandido, the former Co-Leader of the "international Piracy Conspiracy" that went by the name of Drink Or Die.
Despite the fact that he had never left Australia and Despite the fact that he did not Protit from his work, the basis of the crime in Australia, He is being Extradited to the US to face NET Act Charges.
I understand why it leaves the bad Feeling, however, the word does not require money. And in fact this case does not either. A Sponsor as far as a Bill is conserned is a Senetor or Representative who Either wrote, or helped write the bill, and takes it apon them selves to Speak for the bill, present it for vote, and attempt to have it pass. There is no money directly involved. in reality Sponsoring a bill is one of the Most Important things a Senetor or Representative does, as it is the Direct Action that creates laws in this country. The fact that Corperate Society has so poluted the words meaning si the true issue here.
Having studied Technological Development of Europe fairly heavily, The First World War was not the first Military Application of Science. In fact from the development of the Steam Engine, two Major industries that all technological development were Initiailly Textiles and Instriments of War (read the Military Industrial Complex). Consider the Technological Difference between the weapons used in the Revolutionary War, The Civil War, and The Spanish-American War.
In the Later years, 1870 or so on, Petrochemicals became important (but this grew initially out of Textiles and synthetic dyes). This fed Poison Gas and the other Horrors of WW1. All of this was going on well prior to the War to End All Wars, it was simply the Culmination of 80 years of the Military Industrial Complex building on itself.
The No Electronic Theft Act (or NET) of 1997 did that. In Short, "The term 'financial gain' includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works.'." IE if you are using a P2P system that requires any sort of Sharing of materials (ie BitTorrent, Min Share DC hubs, etc.)you have a "financial gain" involved.
it was patriot games, but atleast in the book, it was planned so that the team would hit the target as the satalight came over the visable horizen. and the sat moved out very quickly. a train passing by 2 feet off the firstbase line is a poor analogy, mainly because they dont move THAT fast, realative to thier height. it would however be a chalenging issue to maintain a proper zoom, and point, for the changing position. (Geodesics are not that fun)
Ok, so it might not kill TV. but the main problem with everyone's argument that it will or will not work is they are looking at this with the view that it will be for the most part leagal, 17 year old girls being excluded.
/me takes a deep breath
But thats not what its going to be. Sure Napster gave everyone in the world the ability to distribute their own Music over p2p. Sure Shoutcast gave everyone a change to run a radio station playing legal unprotected music. Sure, Bittorent gives everyone the ability to easally share large legal files, such as home videos or GNU software. Sure, Winamp's Shoutcast TV gives people the ability to stream there own telivision shows Right Now (yes there are technical diferences bear with me).
But did they?
No. Napster was at the top of its game because people shared copywritten mp3s. Shoutcast worked because everyone could take the mp3 collections they got from Napster, build up there own playlist, and stream music for their friends. BitTorrent make it easy to get Everything people wanted, epecially Movies and TV Shows. Winamp's TV has well Porn, Crap, and People breaking the law. Just open it up, look at the streams. The streams running say 24/7 South Park or 24/7 Scrubs, are they legal? Do you really think any money is going to the copywrite holders?
This will work because it will make it so ANYONE with a halfway decent connection will be able to seed what ever they want, their personal selection of digital media constantly. Say Joe Kid with his 7mbit/1mbit dsl starts a Sapranoes all day every day. Or Jane Kid starts Her own version of The Movie Channel, using her favorite XVID releases she got from bittorent. Shoutcast didnt get popular because it gave people a place to my thier own music, it got popular because it gave people a place where they could play the DJ. This will get popular because it will give everyone with a halfway decent upload the ablity to play Zero Cool his first "hacking" at the age of 18, Running the tv STATION, not the production.
OR like the other big university with the word "tech" in there name that isnt on this list (WPI), the network admins block similar programs on the packet level. This leaves inet2 open for other High Bandwidth purpuses (caugh FTP caugh). and Keeps the fools from getting sued
as you in fact quoted, internal use, means just that, internal use. Company X has a need for a modified database for a back end on a server. Payign a small number of developers to change F/OSS to meet their needs, is probly signifigantly cheeper than developing the project from scratch. And as long as the software never leaves the company they are not required to submit back changes, they only are forced to do so if they REDISTRIBUTE said altered software.
no, this has nothing to do with Accountability and EVERYTHING to do with privacy. If you are a responcible accountable person you USE a privacy service to ensure that while your information is private, anything that requires you to be arountable, ie DMCA notices, spam notification, etc, WILL reach you despite the fact that your information is not avalable so that any yahoo can get your home address and mail you things your dont want.
In fact as many posters have said this does NOTHING to address actuall acountablity, because using a Fraudlent credit card and filling False contact information is still quite east to do. All the law serves to do is force people to be unable to prevent the junk while being accountable.
That is true, however what GoDaddy offers is they provide VALID contact information for their "privacy" divition. if a network administrator needs to contact the owner of the domain, they whois is, contact godaddy who then forward the info to the registrant, and it is up to the registrant to contact the initial party.
this however i dont belive will stop you from setting your whois data to INVALID information. (mine are registered to James Bond)
but they are not comiting a crime. Well, INAL, but i dont belive the DMCA would hold weight here. As far as the EULA, they do not distribute OSX, nor do as far as anyone can prove use it. Since they emulate the hardware of the power pc and the motherboard, they could just as easily test it with something like yellowdog, or any other PowerPC based Free Operating System. They could even be running Darwin, the OSX Kernal that is released under a Free License. OSX is just one of the options for an operating system on a PowerPC and Apple Motherboard based computer.
The Kazaa case was very differnt, Kazaa Light was a hacked version of kazaa with fake cydoor dll's so when ever kazaa called the cydoor dll to do its evil stuff nothing happened. In that case KL was very clearly violating Kazaa's distrobution Liscenses.
just a thought, but shouldnt it be custhelp@hasbro.com?
custhelp.com doesnt seem to have much to do with hasbro. also hasbro.com doesnt seem to helpfull they want your street address to send them an email.
Card had actually written several drafts of the speaker for the dead before he began writting the novel of ender's game. The end of the book, and its odd wtf portions were designed to serve as a back drop to the next, partially completed, book.
I think the parent makes a good point, i remeber Programing for my calculator to get rid of bordom, and of course playing games. Or Bringing a novel in and reading it discretly in the cornor. In short a computer is like a telephone or a graphing calculator a tool that can be used benificially or not.
and yes i am "bored at work" and "reading slashdot"
While that is a good theory, how many people who work in menial captivity based jobs will even gather that the tapping is in fact a prime number? or for that mater what a prime number is? Or considering the Stanford Prison Experiment and the results regarding the opinions of Guards and Prisoners, would they even care?
Also, how do you SHOW numbers in a universal form over a radio? Binary is not exacly universal, and as the article mentions, how do we assume it will be put together correctly? Perhaps X number of pulses with a break between them, but considering how radio frequencies are monitered here, they might just hear 2 pulses and changing frequencies.
As a former student, well versed in being broke and wondering aimlessly around the library, this may be both usefull and frustrating. In some sence it is helpfull especially for a literature course, where the required reading is on google, letting a studentsearch for a specific phase, especially if looking for a quote. I dont know however if would fair well for other sorts of school work, How many obscure Humanities or Social Science Books are indexed? I do remember finding some obscure history information via web searches, especially the Nazi Tribunal reports, however since many books are sold to a few thousand libraries and profesors, is it even in googles interest to index truely usefull for searching texts for students?
Also, is there a way to see more results, two or three results from books seems to be far to small on some issues.
Slashdot Mirror
while thier isnt alot of payout for it, the Horde on my server have started doing that. they call them "FK"s for Farmer Kills
Could this be the AUVSI Unmanned Systems North America Conference that the press release was issued from? :p
You could say go to google. google Click Fraud and click "Click Defense"'s add on the right hand side 10-20 times just for added good mesure :p

Despite the fact that he had never left Australia and Despite the fact that he did not Protit from his work, the basis of the crime in Australia, He is being Extradited to the US to face NET Act Charges.
So yes, they can do that.

no, thats just a function of older photography.

look at iceland. its really detailed (and really cool looking :p)

and we drink harder.
and we have fewer women.
and its easer to buy crack.

well, if you go to the google ip, and then click the "news" link it doesnt work because http://news.216.239.57.99/ doesnt exist.

While i agree, i do belive that was the foundation of the Betamax case more or less. though tv and not radio.

Except of course for the analog hole.
