Not true. only VZW and AWS have. I believe T-Mo and Sprint still have unlimited data. And I know for a fact that MetroPCS has unlimited data, as that is who I have.
Except the DMCA is only supposed to apply to DIGITAL items, so your example wouldn't be a DMCA violation anyway, just garden variety copyright infringement.
I believe that was the entire purpose of this bill. It was a way for the RIAA/MPAA/Mafia to shut down YouTube, which they've been trying to do for a long time.
Well, with that line of reasoning, the record labels need to just not release any recordings. Ever.
After all, they have no way of knowing whether those recordings will end up being shared by those nefarious fans who purchase them.
They also don't know that those same recordings won't be used as background music in the production of child porn, so clearly they must never sell any music ever again.
Actually, the rest of the world would have to ratchet theirs up. That's the beauty of ACTA, it makes the whole f***ing world have to work to the worst copyright terms. That's why there's so much support from the RIAA's and their ilk.
I respectfully disagree with you. I think that in a lot of ways, copyright has long outlived it's usefulness for its intended purpose. I am a semiprofessional (classical) musician and composer. I compose in spite of, not because of, copyright.
Needs a history lesson. RIAA's entire existence DEPENDS on public domain. There is absolutely no music being created that can't be associated with a previous work. None.
If she really believes that PD has no value, then I would challenge the RIAA to have the record labels remove everything from the market that used material from the public domain. She can see how much value PD has then.
OK, so where is the "preponderance of evidence" that all of these people shared files?
Remember that these letters are sent to people based on the IP address of some piece of equipment that might have accessed or shared the content in question.
I believe the 'innocent until proven guilty' statement stems from the earlier statement I think to try to pin this as a shakedown is sort of ignoring the main point: These people are illegally sharing content. which makes us non-law student plebes think of criminal activity instead of civil.
Um.. IANAL, but I believe that a carrier's contract stating that you can't root your device would be unenforcable as the LOC specifically requires carriers to allow the user to unlock the phone.
