DRM does NOT protect copyright. DRM is a POS that entertainment industries put up so that people couldn't make legitimate copies of their CDs, DVDs, or Video Games because the publisher didn't want that.
In fact, AJ, DRM specially controls how content is used. There is *NOTHING* about DRM related to copyright OTHER than the DMCA.
So, go back to your MPAA masters and tell them that DRM may just be outlawed soon.
if you throw a brick at someone or something, you cause harm, thus your rights interfere with someone else's rights to live. In that case, your rights are trumped.
So, AJ, kindly, use some fucking common sense for once in your miserable life.
I'm sorry, no, wait, I'm NOT sorry at all, that clause really is total B.S. and goes against nature.
If you own something, you can DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT!
The first sale doctrine, the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter of buying something and then re-selling and doing what you want with it, states that copyright law does NOT trump a person's right to do with property as they please.
Just because it'll allow me to use MY property that *I* legally purchased the way *I* want to and not the way *THEY* want me to doesn't mean that it weakens copyright.
If I buy a cellphone, a PS3, or a 3DS right now, they are region/service locked and breaking that lock is against the law, even if I legally purchase a game/service from another region/service provider so that I can play/use the game/service.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
Or did you miss the case where the Supreme Court slapped down the textbook publisher and said first sale doctrine trumps your copyright?
How about all the legitimate Fair Uses that get taken down daily? How about the fact that the DMCA doesn't allow me to buy a phone from Sprint, then, when my contract runs out, run it on, let's say Straight Talk for how I want because it's locked onto Sprint.
There's nothing about copyright in that, buskahosa.
If he has/had a website that had infringing stuff on it, he wouldn't care if it got taken down for no reason then, right?
but I think a more apt thing is this...
If someone at his home had something that was given to them, even if it was legally bought, from someone else, his house was raided, everything confiscated by some military then his house burned down while he can only watch in horror...

But there is no RIGHT to fair use, only a privilege.
that's a flat-out lie!
Copyright is the privilege, not Fair Use. Fair Use is the right and is how creativity fucking works!
But you'll just ignore what I say like you ignore everything else that counters your little world, won't you?

Because, honestly, AJ, if you buy something, shouldn't you *OWN* the thing?
And, according to the First Sale Doctrine, which TRUMPS copyright law, once you buy something, you can do what you WANT to it, no questions asked.

By making it LEGAL to take your stuff and make it work the way you want it to so you can use it for legitimate stuff?
Like say, if I wanted to Jailbreak a Nintendo 3DS so I could import Japanese games, how is that taking rights away from Nintendo?

Ron Paul was the most moderate of all of the R candidates last election...
Bets that Democrats registered as R's and voted for Romney?
And don't forget that many R's register as Dems to vote for the man/woman least likely to win against their candidate at times.
You basically have a situation where both sides are sabotaging each other just to get a few points and screw the country over.
Moderates can't win because of that situation.

Just most of them.
The ones that aren't mainstream don't preach political views too much. Some even encourage their members to not vote.

I call bullshit on that.
While you might have been inclined towards the opposite gender at that age, you didn't know that you were straight until you were at least 12-15...
You know, about the age people hit puberty.
Human sexuality doesn't develop the way you think it does.
