Let's just hope that starting a new Wiki article doesn't become as convoluted as starting a new newsgroup became. How many admins are you going to have to ego-massage before they let something new in?
Why is AllOfMP3 seen as a legitimate alternative? Legal ot not, none of that money goes to the deserving parties. Perhaps you feel good that you're paying -someone- for the download, but you're better off using P2P and donating the money to a charity -- perhaps a local school's music department?
You can already rip satellite programming right off the Dish PVR hard drive (7x00 and 5xx series, at least). Why should I buy this instead of any other portable media player?
What happened to the public owning the spectrum?
If a company wants to broadcast on this far-reaching medium into essentially every home in their market, rather than using a private cable or satellite distribution system, they need to accept the public's control.
If they don't want their product broadcast freely, they can hand in their license, which will be snapped up in about two seconds by another eager company.
I didn't feel like wasting another 30-45 seconds between crashes.
Revenge seems to fix this
Whaaa? If anything, revenge is much worse. It seems like the slow rewind back to the beginning of crash events is to discourage you from repeating the event ad infinitum to get the highest possible score.
I want a pre-emptive measure. I want some senator with the balls to say "Fuck the media companies. They're not my constituents." I want a bill that reiterates that the airwaves are public, that exclusive broadcast rights to a piece of the spectrum are a priveledged gift not given lightly by the people. I want a guarantee that anything broadcast via this public medium have certain rights over it, those being to view, edit, and permanently archive content, at full broadcast resolution, so long as it is not retransmitted or distributed, except as allowed by copyright law. If a company can't agree to that, it shouldn't be using public airwaves in the first place.
While the case was dismissed, the mother had to pay legal fees as the Judge refused to award her attorneys fees. The reason is that the plaintiffs' lawyers had taken the appropriate steps in trying to prosecute the mother and that the mother used tactics to obstruct the Plaintiff to efficiently prosecute her.
The lesson learned: the RIAA needs to drag the cases out longer to overwhelm the accused with legal fees.
Given that when I pay for a CD, I'm paying for the music, not the plastic and mylar, can any RIAA person please explain to me why my position is any less valid than Tommi Kyyrä's?
If I pay to download some DRM-laden, highly compressed file off an online store, am I entitled to make a bit-for-bit copy of the same track off my mate's CD? Just what are you buying?

His search engine was far from the first place people looked for illegal content anyway.

Season Three If you can't get taps on the burners, just sell the crooks pre-tapped phones.

Depends on the IRD model. Older units save to disk in unencypted MPEG-2. I know the 721 encrypts to disk, though.

Isn't Oprah only on broadcast anyway?

And those melodramatic "ring" movies a couple years back weren't rediculously boosted by fans?
Images down already? Shame the servers don't run on that optimized 64-bit super-engine too.
And the U.S. is the bastion of the free? Remind again why the FBI needs to approve my encrypted VOIP software.
