I read the title and thought: "@esa is now following @riaa?"...
I need to get out more.
Seriously, though, the letter does not mention any action to be taken, it's just a notification basically saying "we think you're doing this..." and nothing more.
Is this scare tactics or is it kudos for doing it? Doesn't say.
I was thinking the same thing. How many of their pictures are already photoshoped and the don't even know about it?
Even wores, how many are actually doctored by their request to hide something "offensive" or otherwise?
Zero-tolerance? Seems to me it might be selective-tolerance...
How about two mirrors then?
Joking aside, I'm just wondering if the mirror trick won't confuse the person using it. For example, if the person clenches a fist, he sees it in both hands but is actually only clenching one...or it would probably feel it was clenching both, as a natural reflex or the like.
Not only that, but the available information is just enough for any application to run without problems. Giving the Kernel Interface Documentation away will probably make more vulnerabilities available in the future.
Oh yeah? Why, back in MY day we used to rub cats' fur to generate the required power for powering bulbs...and the triboelectric effect hadn't even been invented yet!
I have many old books that are already out of print. Also, I've bought some books trough used-books dealers, but they are sometimes hard to find. I mean, I love my books, and I want to be able to keep them indefinitely, but will an eBook publisher sell me, say 20 years from now, a book published this year? For me, it is a concern, because you don't always want or need the latest book when an old out-of-print book will do. Storage is cheap, but are they going to keep old books forever? Since a book can be given away, it's possible, although difficult, to find it eventually. An eBook cannot be given away, but if they are digitally kept around for a long time with no compatibility issues in the future, then eBooks might be a good option.
His main evidence is the increase in the number of characters to be found in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy compared to the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
Wasn't LoTR written a couple of decades before SW?

They don't have to go all the way there, if they just target the environment, global warming will take care of the pirates.

I just thought of "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" as a good slogan for them.

I use Gentoo so this shouldn't matter to me.
When I'm finally done compiling the whole system, this problem will be already over.
