Excellent book. And I though of Techdirt when in the second book (Freedom tm) the government/quasi government uses Intellectual Property laws to hide the truth from the public :)
I here you but in real life my copies of Call Of Duty 4, Call Of Duty WAW , Call Of Duty MW2, Halflife, Fallout 3 and a couple hundred dollars worth of other tiltes are not platform exclusive. I did not buy my 360 for platform exclusives, there where other reasons but the platform content exclusives was not even on the list
no that cause of failure is irrelevant. the point is the content is locked to the device.
The woman in the story was actually comped back by sony after the fact for the money that she shelled out for the now e-reader They should have solved her problem without all the hoopla.
I think the problem at the moment is not enough consumers are aware of what we are now calling the "DRM Tax" when it comes to electronic books.
It is a fairly widely accepted fact that if My Xbox 360 dies I will need to pony up another $200 for another one. Sure I may want to purchased a competing product but then I would have "lost access to the library she's spent hundreds of dollars building up." I cant play those titles on my Computer, or in a Playstation or a Wii. I am FULLY aware of that fact and am not really complaining because this is just an analogy. The point is that it is accepted general knowledge that an 'Xbox game' only 'plays on an xbox'
Maybe if the drm'd files were named for the specific platform they work on it would help but that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to why drm'd ebooks suck :)
of COURSE he change some lyrics.. it was written in CANADIAN. It was recorded in AMERICAN. Duh if he used the Canadian words the Americans would have been confused. Canadians are we to liberal with the letter u and they think little ham patties are bacon.
Rogue employees? Someone from the anti-copyright universe working at Viacom?
If that were the case why would Viacom remove them from the lawsuit? How does that change the argument that GoogleTube is in no position to determine whether a video is infringing or not?
Yes, it makes a bunch of sense for the rest of the people who are trying to play the game. The glitch is very disruptive and it is making it difficult to play when people are doing it.
I would think Hulu could deal with the fictional page with 1000 embeds by only serving one or "X" number of videos at a time to a client. I would be surprised if they were not already doing that. I don't think this is a move about controlling their bandwidth it is Hulu what hey perceive is best for their brand.
they (the band) provided the song to the tourism board for the cost of production. She actually got a $100,000 summary judgment that was overturned on appeal
