So your conclusion is the same argument as esists now for closed vs open source software, Except with no copyright law all the major corperations would be able to scoop up all the gpl code, and sell it. add to it "propietary enhancments" add their huge team of marketing people, advertising people, etc, and proide the same product to people with out the source. The same people who buy all the proprietary software now will continue to buy it as it serves them no benfit to change.
However, the issue is that then all software will become "freely distrubtable" as there are no legal ramifications for doing so, how will there be a fiscal advantage to paying programers. I know what stalman has to say on the issue, in short Custom Programing, and everyone else can get a differnt job, but is that really viable alternative?
honestly how many botnet operators are that sufisticated? yes some are, but most?
your also forgetting something else. Possesion of the Private key means that it is undeniable that you are in control of said bot net. in short a digitally signed order is a literal signiture of the controler of the botnet. forget the "i was hacked to" excuse or the "that was someone else's ip 24 hours ago" one. if you have the private key your signing those mesages.
transation may or my not be voided. If you dont wire money often, your bank will usually call you to ensure its a legit transfer. If your account often does wire transfers it will probly go through, and wont get stoped unless the other end bank is suspicious. There was a story here a while ago about a guy who almost lost his company because his account wire a bunch of money iligally to poland.
The Thief does reveal his destination account, but if said thief were copitent, and wired the money somehwere else several times, via a lawyer, into multiple contries with very strict privacy laws, think Swizerland, the Bahamas, the Camans, Etc, the trail would require signifant multinational cooperation to follow.
Also, they cought the guy at the destination bank in this case.
Just out of Curiosity, but what does this have to do with hollywood, how much stuff comes out of hollywood under the creative commons? OR is Distrubted INENTIONALLY via BitTorrent?
How many Hollywood companies would "partner" with bearshare and limewire? Arnt they being sued by the MPAA?
I may be wrong here, but this looks more like an indy attempt to make pirates look cooler than they are, and not some kind of mpaa attack squad.
The article you link to is dated. Erdos himself now has a Bacon Number of 4 as of 2003 : http://oracleofbacon.org/cgi-bin/oracle/movielinks ?firstname=Bacon%2C+Kevin&game=1&secondname=Erdos% 2C+Paul&using=1
in summary,
The Oracle says: Paul Erdos has a Bacon number of 4.
Paul Erdos was in N Is a Number (1993) with Gene Patterson
Gene Patterson was in Box of Moon Light (1996) with Annie Corley
Annie Corley was in 21 Grams (2003) with Sean Penn
Sean Penn was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon
This came up a few years ago in My Computer Science Theory Course. Programing in Brainfuck is quite similar to programing on a Turing Machine because Brainfuck was Designed to be as small as possible yet be Turing Complete. So since a Turing Machine is the BASIS for Turing Completeness, it is the simplist incarnation thereof.
Does this mean that any organization of copyright holders is able to Supply the Swedish District Court with payed for testimony regarding possession of their intelectual property, and gain a search warent for any and all computer systems?
Therefore wouldn't a Copyright holder for example that is conserned about the misuse of a small application for example be able to use the swedish court to search all the computers of say the Antipiracy Bureau? If as people have said in other threads the Copyrighted Material is not found, but violations of Others Copyrights is found would then that be just cause to repost the information to the holder of that Copyright? Considering the BSA reports on the State of Enterprise Licensing, SOMETHING is likely to be used inapropriatly somewhere within the organization.
Second Point, I think this will certainly lead to interesting mayday protests in Sweden this year. In the Light of the previous year's "100MBits For All" propiracy protests in three swedish cities. It makes me Wonder if the AUH's Call for street protests isnt quite as foolish as it sounds.
Its not that much money, but considering the company involved here LOST $16.5 Million in 2003, and made $6.3 Million in 2004, and only earned $16.3 Million from thier internet divition in 2003, amoung aprox 24000 dsl subscribers. so in escent the fcc is fining them $0.58 per user. think about the fine for Verizon. Its an economy of scale issue.
please. Having worked with Macs in an achademic enviroment, they get screwed up pretty bad. Yes there are less spyware and virus's out there for them, but that doesnt mean general stupidity will not screw them up. the worse was the college i worked at, 75% of the department secritaries had folders that began with.'s so they would be at the top of the list. naturally these folders are inside other folders, So when we began migrating to OSX, we backed all their data up to cd, and presented them with shinny new eMac's and a pile of burnt cd's with thier data. USually we also copyied it back into thier home dirs. Now, those of you with unix experience know that files that begin with.'s are considered hidden. So, the day after i have Secritaties and Tenured Faculty from all over the Liberal Arts department, the secritary of Philosophy actually nammed ALL of her folders inside one with.'s and she thought we lost ALL of her data. needless to say, this took forever to figure out, and generated a whole lot of ill will for OSX.
Moral of the Story is that an OS is not a magic bullet. You should do what some schools do for Thier lab computers, have an image server, and reimage the machines every week, this works fine for lab machines, though not other machines.
my work machine has a Geforce 4000mx. Mainly because it was cheep and supports dual monitors easily, how ever its more than enough to run dod so i beat the Senior Engineer in the cubical next to me with a shovel during lunch time.
What office Workstation these days cant run an older FPS, say HalfLife 1 (99 was 6 years ago people) with software rendering even if they do not have OpenGL support
thats the general princaple behind blog torrent, atleast thats what the developer explained to me when he was starting. ideally it could be coded into a plug in for firefox in addition to the specialized self extracting exe they use now. http://www.blogtorrent.com/ is the site, its an offshoot of http://downhillbattle.org/.
The key to the whole thing is the carbon paper only shows the numbers written over the password.
yes this does sound similar to quantum encription, however it is possible with non quantum technology, "an envelope only Alice can open" is as the above said encripted with Alice's public key. However, no one is looking at how the carbon paper is in the computer world.
actually, if you think of say an array of as many longs as the pasword has bits, and for each pasword bit you know to look at the two Most Signigant Bytes or the two least signifigant bytes. this can be encripted with alice's public key and sent back to her. She then decripts it with her private key, since she knows her password she knows to look at the proper "half" of each array eliment, and ensure they add to 0.
however most people in the united states do not have a national health plan. Consiquenty this money is not destined to make up for the disadvantages of smoking. Smokes cost the same in europe and mass, well probly more now because the dollar has been on the slide, the difference in europe with state suported health care you are paying now for the bills you will incure the state later, same with the higher taxes on junk food, soda, etc. Here in the US, your only incurring a tax burdon from health care if you are on medicare/medicaid, and not for most people in the population. So US states when they tax cigarettes are simply buying into the tabacco company plan of addict them and raise the price. they realize smokers wont quit for the most part, and are going to continue to buy even with higher prices. The money is then used to cover what ever shortfalls the budget has when they cant raise other taxes without major oposition. Raising the Tabacco tax is easer than raising taxes on alcohol, general sales, or income, becauce a large enough segment of the population doesnt smoke, and figures raising taxes will "teach smokers a lesson" or something similar.
I'm surpised they supported it at all. i spend 2 months in copenhagen and honestly thats the first nice thing i have heard about "anders FUCK rasmusen" as i was taught to pronounce it.
He was better know for attempting to turn christiania into trendy flats, and for his anti-imigration policies.
umm did you RTFA? A 400 dvd carousel isnt going to power 8 diferent plasma screens and a huge projector all with different movies all in 1080i now is it. nor is it expandable and adaptible like this system is.
dont get me wrong i'm not going to buy one, but the is alot more to it.
it is simpler than alot of people thing, i remember reading a long time ago about a digital watermarking that survived not only compression and distribution, but also physical caming in the theater.
That having been said, i call the last two yups out. Lets say we have a rar compressed divx of a movie ( a faily common distribution). if your downloading over bittorrent for example, and your getting say 256k chuncks from each seed. the isp would need to construct enough of the rar file so that SOME video could be extracted (depending on rar methods this is a good size) then extract some of the video from the rar file, and THEN using visual recognition software go through the actual image formats and detect the watermark. Yes this is possible, HOWEVER, this would require a very statefull packet analizer, capeable of gathering parts of the rar files ariving far out of order and from multiple sources. now think about the scale of media downloaded on the internet by users, think about the ram overhead of that would be required to achive this, and then look at isp's bottom lines. something doesnt match here.

Who used Beta Max in 1993? i thought VHS killed it long before that. btw i have bad news about the Bills for you.
the blocking of said trafic was anti-competition. because the isp were blocking the trafic thier competitors depended on.
