  4. Libraries in Breach on Authors Guild Sues Google Over Print Program · · Score: 1
    Consider this: Google has an agreement (contract) with these libraries, to make copyrighted content available (in whatever form). Aren't the libraries like bit-torrent sites, in that they facilitated the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, without permission from the author?

    Aren't the libraries in breach of copyright by making copyrighted material available, without permission of the rightful copyright owner, to someone who intends to further distribute it?

  5. Re:Probably worth mentioning... on Hacking Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    all you people having real or perceived issues with the Macintosh Finder: stop using it!

    switch to your CLI, or your launcher-apps, or what have you; and let the rest of us poor saps that prefer to slug through previews and labels and comments and searching and indexing and 'drag and drop'ing, continue using the Finder.

    It seems to me like most of the people complaining here are new mac users. Yes the finder could use some improvements; guess what, in a couple of months you'll have a whole bunch of improvements. But many of you just haven't gotten to know the Finder.. you don't know how to turn off previews? enable indexing? control-, option-, shift-, and command-click? It takes more than just "getting a Mac" to know the finder.

    But if it doesn't work for you, change your default app from the Finder to the Terminal, or whatever your preferred file mgt. interface is, and STFU.
