already been done: Free PDF, buy the book
I wonder who decides what I can do with the PDF obtained legally and for free, can I distribute it at no fee? can I print it myself? can I feed it to my dog?
so, is this a new form of art (printing self-service) and as such requires a totally new copyright term from the time of printing?
how is this different from taking a picture of copyrighted material out in the open?
I assure you that it is not easy and a good live performance can take hours of practice over a period of months to get right.
some guys write software, and it can take months of practice over a period of years to get right, (and the final product is sometime used by hundred of millions of consumers - think Tencent QQ) but these people don't see a dime more than their monkey salary anyway, let alone 70 fscking years after their passing away!!
look, they've already almost copyrighted sh*tting... how many public places do you know of that permit the use of toilets without using a coin or buying a coffee ("customers/patrons only")?
And they are mostly known today by their statements and/or their looks.
I'm not in the music industry, but don't singing artists get most of their income with the tours after the release of a new album?
can anyone give some sort of breakdown for a typical singer? (actual sales, tours, merchandise, royalties,...)
what's the point of having copyright lasting longer than 10 years from the creation when I'm sure that in any case most people would still like to attend a concert with the original singer, but enjoy a karaoke of the same song at home or in the local pub without the risk of someone knocking at the door and saying "do you know that this song was made 120 years ago and you'll have to pay a dead body?"
evolution changes the calibration, unless genetists find its formula.
now, if in the future we'll create a savepoint and let geno-human and simo-human evolve separately from that point on, then the question of what defines "human thought" really becomes... irrelevant
There's that possibility, but securing VMs can be fairly easy. Don't want internet connectivity? turn it off.
it looks like you switched off internet connectivity (and Windows cannot reach the Microsoft server to keep alive the realtime authentication connection), do you want help to restore it?
When people start making comments like this, I can't help wondering if this was someone's science project that got out into the open instead of a strain that occurred naturally.
like in Twelve Monkeys? can we reverse the disaster à la I am a legend finale?
power ruins the best among us, same goes for the lawyer who registered the Linux trademark, only to give it back to where it belonged - the community...
where did I read "all men (and women) are created equal"?
Slashdot Mirror
is that because of sympathetic resonance?
Also, you don't have to hire detectives to find out when an obscure author died,
out of interest, would a cryogenically frozen person (or head, as it stands) qualify for a living author?
(yes, we need to completely rewrite copyright terms, or simply get rid of them)
Enjoy your time on earth.
is this from someone who already passed away, following a retaliation strike from NK?
the paper is manufactured with nanoparticles while the laser warms-up before printing
(yes, it's a joke)

because the draft was leaked to the black market and the producer was texan... now, where did I leave my rifle?
careful there, if you go past 6000 years ago with copyright, you might have to sell your soul to pay for your life...

Microsoft has an incredible amount of cash money in the bank[...]
you mean it's time to run away with the loot and throw a chair (ehm bone) at the dumb customers?
define encryption, because to me it's exactly like a "white" lie: it doesn't stop you from doing it right or doing it wrong
we've been hearing this argument so many times from them, that we should ask for royalties... :-)

How would that work?
I'm not sure yet, give me a few days to write an algorithm to verify your question... :-)
I don't think so, XP will just run in its separate 16-bit subsystem...
looking forward to Windows in full-colours (64-bit)

yet another license that you won't be able to resell...
there's no arguing about TCO, Windows is the cost, remove it and you'll be free
Now imagine 3-4 computers in the house, each one with someone seperately watching netflix or Hulu....
5 minutes to find that out? (time between your two posts)
the world changed in 1984
TV signal from planets orbiting that star are slower so we don't know if it's a dupe yet...

the ping roundtrip decay should have given that away...
