I'm feeling lazy today so I'm not going to go out and get information myself. Did they patent putting in the laugh track or did they patent a method for doing this? That makes a big difference.

Re: Re: Dammit
We must travel in different circles. At one time I had tons of people asking me to come by and take a look at their computer. It was usually loaded with some untrustworthy P2P program set to download malware and had tons of crap on it. Then I started charging $120 per hour with a 1 hour minimum to help. Now I don't get asked.

Re: Re: Re: Legal
It's not semantics. It's a fine point of law. There has already been a mention of the specific court case that states infringing isn't the same as stealing here under this article.

Re: Re: Dammit
It's a possibility.
On another note, I just realized that I was so pissed off after reading the actual article that I couldn't make a coherent response. Everyone could tell I was angry, but even I'm not entirely sure what I was talking about. All I could think at that moment is that I hope Mr. Manjoo gets kneecapped by thugs.

Dammit
I knew when I woke up this morning that I'd see some crazy bullshit. You know what happens when users have unrestricted access, even after extensive training? They treat the machine like it's their home machine. I've trained users. I actually trained a group yesterday. Tomorrow they won't remember what we did, but they will remember that I brought donuts. There are some people responsible enough to handle it. Some people are too stupid to hurt their computer (mostly little old ladies who don't know how to do anything outside their job). Most people will go around installing whatever stupid thing they find.
I'll give users unfettered access when I get the promise that I will not have to come in early, stay late, or get a call in the middle of the night that requires me to reload a computer. I have a life. I have a very special person in my life. I refuse to give up my personal time because users are too stupid to live.

Re: Re: Re: Dig a little
Agreed. Burden of proof is on the accuser. I can say that Dark Helmet is in a massive conspiracy to slander and libel me out of business but without a bit of proof to back it up I'm just a crackpot who thinks Mr. Helmet is out to get me.

The difference here is that everyone will roll over on this because no one wants to go to court for porn. This is a much more solid business model than the RIAA's model. No one, no matter whether you did it or not, would want to fight this because they don't want their name associated with being that creepy dude with porn.
