If you wanted, you can put all those little pictures on these (expensive!!) keyboards. All this "providing access to higher level keyboard"? It's called a link. And data behind it? A database. And connections between pictures and higher level keyboards? I can do that better with algorithms that expand your most used paths and suggest similar ones.
Stupid software patent system - it never should have existed.
ok, it's a bad analogy. Better if I'd written 'curtains and police able to see into your living room.'. If you have your bank PIN number or safe combination in plain sight that's your problem.
Karl is using my words. He stole them and now I don't have words like 'majority' (it's 'all those people' now) and 'mainstream' (I use 'garbage' now). Damn you freetardin' Karl, explainin' my position better than I could! =)
And I said Internet, not piracy. Piracy happens on open seas, copyright infringement happens on the internet. Try to remember that.
"record industry revenue being halved in a decade"
Internet. It's called the internet - buggy makers became redundant when Ford started with cheap cars. Recording industry is redundant - I can record at home.
AC, even normal users with no administrative right on this blog can see your gravatar. Mike has deeper insight but is not one to abuse that knowledge. He could. It's his site. But he doesn't. At least I havent seen him do it...
I'm from the country where first biggest torrent site was born (suprnova.org) and died with a few words from the White House. It's not the legality that bothers me (yes, there's probably just a few countries around the world that allow noncommercial file sharing) - it's non-transparency of the process that followed: there was no due process in suprnova.org case - police came, took his computers and returned them 2 years later. He (sloncek) was a kid at that time and had no money for a new server... No charges (at least no criminal charges) were made. Yes - it is our leaders that bent their behinds to the great NATO leader, but I'm glad that suprnova inspired mininova and so on and on... file sharing is evolving faster because these things happen (like TOR/dictatorships fight/evolution).
from the weasel master him/her-self:
- If I bought it the results are EXACTLY THE SAME AS STEALING. I didn't have it before and now I do.
- if I borrowed it (from a library) and memorized it in bitwise accuracy the results are EXACTLY THE SAME AS STEALING. I didn't have it before and now I do.
You cannot by definition steal information. And if your creations are representable in 0 and 1 it's defined as information.

I am not obtaining this thing illegaly:
1. someone bought your album.
2. he shared it on torrent pages (since you're unknown an you need some exposure)
3. i downloaded it
Now *that* someone bought it (legal) and shared it (still legal) - it somehow becomes illegal obtain that information?

"Not buy and copy the product."
Why not? If I copy it (it's mine now, isn't it?) and then gift that copy to anyone, that's my decision to make. It was mine in the first place anyways - you sold it to me. I don't put my name to it, I don't make money off it - I just share it; and by share I mean copy-for-0-cost-and-distribute-it-for-almost-0-cost. (cost for me)

Wow, playing *THAT* card, are we? Have you read the article? Technology for 7000$+ sux. It doesn't do what this ipad app does.
Listen to this, when you read it: "Dynamic keyboard and method for dynamically redefining keys on a keyboard"
It's like trying to patent "Dynamic text layout and method for dynamically reshape text data around image instances."
I'd call this a e-reader.

CD is almost 40 years old (1976). It's a redundant data medium. You aren't crying for magnetic tape manufacturing plants, are you?

Of course not - facts make it so. His, mine or your opinions weights nothing copared to facts.
"You really mean "did you copy something you weren't entitled to copy?""
I wasn't entitled to copy but I was allowed? It is not illegal (at least in Europe it isn't). It reminds me of banality of:
