Re: I don't think you can blame the IOC for NBC suckage
The big issue here is that without cable you can't watch the online live streams. Then NBC goes and tape delays events on their normal channels to boost primetime viewing.
Really I blame the UK, why couldn't they just shift all of the events so the good ones would happen during primetime on the east coast?~
Could someone explain to me what Uber is and what it has to do with taxi cabs? I would have thought a 2 line description for those of us not familiar would be good.
I has some meaning to me as a word in German, but other than that none at all...
Anyways a bit on google later shows that is like a modern version of a taxi cab. and that the city nearest me to have them is 8 hours away (chigago), and that it goes up to 2 days quickly from there.
from what i have read neither party is violating the contract (not that any of us have a copy of that). If the contract is written to allow DF to block all activity by UMG then they are within the contract (strictly speaking). They may not be honoring the spirit of that clause, as it may have been put there more for things like UMG wanting to license it to a group of nutters that are trying to take over the world and enslave the rest of us to use as their theme song, but hey if the contract doesn't specify conditions under which that clause can be used seems like it would be fair game to me.
If there was a clause that "the copyright could not be transfered and it had to be the position of the flesh and blood person or persons who did the creating. The only allowed transferal of a right shall be the right to distribution and shall not be forcibly exclusive to the party granted that right and for a period of no more than 3 years between renewals". It would probably help out the artists, they could still by gentleman's agreement allow exclusive distribution, but if something new or better comes along they could extend distribution rights to that new something.
not only that but if they are listining in, don't they lose common carrier protections? and are therefore liable for the content on thier networks, things like thepiratbay.org/infringed_on_movies/. etc?
actually my kids (4 and 6) know they each get 2 short shows or 1 long one in the morning. They turn the tv on (after asking) and the PS3, and fire up netflix and pick a show from the "just for kids" part. There has been a lot of spider man, some sort of super hero show involving wolverine, thor, and some others, and bay blades on recently.
Anyways, they do know what commercials are, they are the point in the show to get up and ask for more water or go to the bathroom etc.
Lars near the end mentions that Richard is excluding those that could help him. I couldn't agree more. Where is Amazon and other people capable of building new distribution methods and whole new markets for the published works that his publishers are trying to hock. What the public would like is also not a concern of Richards. Maybe that is why he is having such a difficulty understanding where Mike and Lars are coming from.
I find it odd that the legislative system in the UK would require the government to do a impact study. I would think the first thing the government would do is require those affected to show that they are a significant part of the economy. At which point if they were a significant part then a impact study would be done. The thing the study should look at is not if it would impact any particular industry/players, but if the overall expected change would be positive then the law would be a go.
Also this should apply to any extension of copyright law, which I notice Richard never mentions when he discussing new laws for e-books. How will his new laws affect those that want to build systems to allow people to lend e-books to each other, or new devices to read e-books, etc.
Actully, you didn't write the transport part correctly. It should have read "You may only transport this book by horse and carriage provided that you use nor more than two horses at once, and no more than 4 on the journey" So now a book written just before the automobile by an author of 17 is likely prohibited to be transported on that new fangled car that comes out a few years later.
I'm running cyanogenmod-7 on my phone. I can checkout the full sources from git if i felt like it. I'm free to extend/modify/etc to my hearts content. My phone will load any valid APK I want it to, regardless if google/my carrier/my handset vendor wants me to or not. Anyways, in that respect I would say it is open. It isn't open like RMS would like, but then even my desktop (running gentoo linux) doesn't. I have the nvidia driver installed, and skype.
lol, hit #2 on my non-personalized results is my linked-in profile, of course that is the only hit for me on the first page, although there is a facebook profile that is me of a guy at a party with the same name.
And part of that is fair, I mean, business isn't a charity.
Then no (more) tax dollars for them and they need to give the ones we gave them back thankyouverymuch. Because if I'm giving a company tax dollars I expect them to serve the common good with them. If they don't want to do tht then don't take the government/our money.
odd, i get 18-21mbps on my 20mbps DSL all the time, no concerns about the neighbor teenagers at all. Also my ISP doesn't seem to care that I have a steady stream of 35kbps outbound traffic (yes my upload is bad bad bad).
most of those widgets are configurable as to how often, if at all they go out and automatically get updates/new info. the authors have usually put that in because of battery life, or in the case of e-mail server side limits.
Same boat, right now my server is hooked up my home network via gigabit and it streams bluray rips around the house. Any sort of network storage needs to have at least that much bandwidth for it to replace my home server.
That said, I am making heavy use of google play music. I uploaded my music(at 30kbps for the 30GB library mind you) and now stream it while at work to my phone(over wifi). There is no way it would work of the cell network, as i only have 5GB of useful bandwidth.
The typical argument for all of them is, that a new copy is being made and that is the issue. If you could figure out a way to send a copy of a digital file where any bits sent to the other person were deleted from your drive as the transfer happened and were not cached anywhere along the way, that might be thought to be ok. All of your examples could in some cases cause two copies to be in use at once.
I'd like to propose some points
5) What if I bought a paper back book, and me and my wife read it together. not out loud, just at the same time. would that be an issue?
6)what if the book had on the inside of the front cover "this book is for reading by one person, not out loud, and it may not be transferred to any other person.". Would anyone actually follow that or would we all keep lending books like we have always done? Why is this different for digital files?
P.S. I agree with all of your points, just trying to get in before the trolls hit you.
