Re: manpower ? I guess the planet is kind of big too !!! we police that !
I guess Mike is finally going to have to release Darryl's IP address to us. After all, based on his post that copies large sections of what the RIAA and MPAA have been saying for years, he's a copyright infringer. Therefore, we need his IP address so we can find out who his ISP is and report his crime.
The problem is, by limiting it to just banking, you've effectively eliminated whole sectors of the economy. What about electronic transmission of medical files which is supported to be protected under HIPAA. How about all the people that work from home over a VPN? Web services for the processing of sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII) such as DMV reports, court records, etc? How about insurance? Encryption is used in far too many places to be regulated without causing serious debilitative economic consequences.
Assuming it does pass, I see all CD and DVD manufacturing leaving the US for Canada... at least until major media corrupts the politicians there as badly as they have here.
Way to go **AA folks... you've just cost us even more jobs.
See, the doctors are really just another arm of the government and while they say they are asking for the purposes of safety, it's really a secret firearm tracking program started to eventually eliminate our 2nd Ammendment right to bear arms. The NRA is looking to stop this invasion of our privacy.
*removes hat*
On another note, I'd love to see a counter campaign from the doctors:
The NRA wants you to kill your children*
* accidentally because we weren't allowed to suggest ask about firearm safety and your children
Forget attaching it to a bus. They generally travel the same route day in and day out. That would make it pretty obvious it's been moved. My recommendation would be to transfer it to a taxi cab - preferrably in a big city... :-)
Consider this... how many users do you know that can't seem to comprehend the "address bar" in a browser. In other words, how many users do you know that will use a Google search to get to a known address?
Tech: Okay, go to facebook.com
User: *opens Google, searches for Facebook*
Tech: What are you doing?
User: Going to Facebook like you told me.
Tech: Why not just type in the address?
User: This is how I always do it.....
Tech: *headslap*
Tell me, oh great and wise one... how do we get the less intelligent voters to stop believing the half-truths and misdirections spread by corporations with their fancy ads during election season? How do we, the lowly voters who actually take the time to understand the issues get our voices heard over the babble of idiocy?
Re: Re: California contracts and minors - court approval
That may be so, but look at this from the point of view of a lawyer trying to get the original contract tossed. If you can convince the court that a minor is "involved", you might be able to play the "not court approved" card to invalidate it. I see his statement as more showing a planned avenue of attack than a serious threat.
Mike, I believe that in California (where Ark is located), contracts with minors MUST be court approved (my Google-fu indicates California Civil Code §36(a)2, et seq.). The apparent goal is to (a) require some of the income be set aside until they are of the age of majority and (b) prevent unreasonable contracts by parents looking to make money off their kids.
Chances are, the lawyer is taking the standpoint that if Rebecca Black copyrights the song in her name and she's a minor, the contract assigning her the rights must have been approved by a court for it to be valid.
Re: They want us to pay multiple times again, or perhaps still.
Even worse...
It's a FILE storage service that happens to have an app that will let you play music files stored there. The service doesn't care what kind of files you have. The Cloud Player just happens to be able to stream MP3's to whatever device you're using to connect to the remote file storage.
To say that major media are just being greedy bastards here is a severe understatement.
Re: I have wondered about this with the music & movie industry
Part of the problem is a consumer's lack of knowledge. iTunes is convenient in that it has music from multiple major lables in one location. Music and record stores were the same.
Assume the record labels DID create their own stores. If you wanted to buy a couple tracks from the original Star Wars soundtrack, which major label record company web site would you have to visit?
However, the purpose of her motion is to shift that same burden to Photobucket, without Photobucket having the benefit of knowing whether Plaintiff has authorized any of her works to be displayed on its site.
*emphasis mine
Yes, Photobucket is likely capable of identifying POTENTIALLY infringing copies, but they have no way of knowing whether or not those copies were authorized. Consider this - assume Photobucket DID implement a technological filter, even the original creator couldn't post her works because the filter wouldn't be able to determine who was doing the posting and whether or not it was authorized.
