Fun as all of these ideas are, the thing is a simple chain drive is cheap, easy to manufacture, easy to replace or repair and hugely efficient.
If all you're trying to do is keep your trousers clean just fit a chain guard...
Hmm.
Group A is focusing on restricting access to material for longer and longer periods so that no-one can use it without paying a toll, despite the basis of that toll being that it is return for making that material available.
Group B is focusing on opening up access to material so that people can use it for free.
Hmm, remind me which one of those is closest to stealing?
I'm curious about which article you read. The one I read says that being human has positive and negative sides and that if you show that negative side to your fans you're going to have to deal with the consequences. Those consequences may be financial, hence the final sentence.
Once again you're either missing the point or deliberately side-stepping it. Let me repeat, "The world is changing, for a law to be respected it must change with the rest of the world."
I'm wondering what arguments you're going to start making once 3D printers start becoming more widespread? The world is changing, for a law to be respected it must change with the rest of the world.
Unfortunately IP law, and copyright in particular, is being forced in the opposite direction and hence is losing its relevance and its respect.
This situation is entirely of the content industries' making, no-one is forcing them have to behave like this.
Umm, think you guys might have mistaken the satire-troll (should that be satyr-troll if we're going down that route?) for the real one.
Which does give him some extra bonus points...
"Yup, they want it now, they want it cheap, and they want to get everything in the world wherever they are immediately as soon as it is being produced"
And all of these things are immediately possible and would result in millions of new dollars rolling your way.
How is wanting to pay for something that you can get for free an OVERDONE expectation?
Not quite, there used to be a bylaw in York that said you could shoot a scotsman from the city walls with a bow (York having been sacked by the scots at one point).
I believe there used to be a similar law regarding the welsh in Chester though.
