So.. George Acosta, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk are no talent hacks huh? Cause what this kid is doing is a more modern version of spinning vinyl records like these three helped make pouplar.
Re: Re: Re: Mike, how DO you reconcile your demands that
And you think this is a good thing? Do you think a service like YouTube or Netflix would have a chance in a market with strict usage caps? But of course that ISPs in house services would be just fine.. limited choice there. You say cut out streaming movies, less music.. to me that says, cut out culture, cut out entertainment, cut out diversity, cut out choice.
Is that display computer connected to the internet? Load IE8/9/10 whatever version its on and set the homepage to that competitors website. I'd wager that most of the public coming in to look at a new computer don't know how to set a home page. You didn't do anything to the computer, you simply changed one string of the browser in a manner that was intended by the programmers. So no.. wouldn't consider that hacking.
There is the rub.. YouTube per the DMCA is not required to police the submissions. It is up to owners of material to be proactive and finding stuff out there. Once they do find it they can submit a DMCA notice to YouTube asking them to take it down. Only then is YouTube REQUIRED to do anything about it.
Frankly if I was in charge of YouTube and the RIAA/MPAA got the laws changed forcing third party providers to act as copyright police, I would start taking down the sites of the big RIAA and MPAA partners.. after all how am I supposed to know if they are legally allowed to post that video or song? I'm just doing my job and taking down potentially infringing material.
If they are not providing me with a service.. I'll be damned if I'm going to continue to pay them. If they continue to try I will notify my bank to not pay them, then they can take it up with the bank and then further with me in court. When the judge asks me why they cut me off I will tell him "Cause I was accused of something but no one ever brought me to court over it".
In the industry I work in we have a name for someone who continually does the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Insane. Someone think of Yee and get him some help.
Hrm.. Justice Thomas sounds like the man to go to to keep any copyright extensions from getting enacted. Since the Constitution is a "Written Instrument" and the "Meaning does not alter" then the original 14+14 enacted should still be in effect.
The best part about these ship analogies.. It doesn't matter if it was the crew (musicians, artists etc) that dropped the ball and screwed up. Tis the captain (RIAA/MPAA/Studio Execs) who gets strung up and run out. One can hope I suppose..
You are right, first thing they (RIAA/MPAA/Content Owners) have to do is find a lawyer then go to court and explain to the judge why they think the bad civilian is infringing. If the judge thinks they have a case then the civilian has to lawyer up and present his case and the judge then decides if it is fair use or not.
You will please note that at no time is anyones life or physical well being in danger as could be the case for a breaking and entering situation.
I seriously suspect you are mental if you think they don't want to make more money off their stuff. Otherwise all these companies wouldn't keep pushing as hard as they have to extend copyright. That has been their big thing, 'extend copyright so that the creator can make more money off their work which is all the incentive they need to make more works.'
Its called a typo dude.. lots of people make them when they dashing off a quick comment. (I even made one that I corrected before sending this one.. lost instead of lots..)
Our newspapers and TV News programs might be in for a big surprise then. To make matters worse a lot of them may have a local office in the country in question.
"To suggest that a whole generation suffers some great harm as a result of this particular situation is a gross overstatement. My personal life (and likely yours) isn't changed one iota"
And so you say nothing. And then one day, they come for you.. and there is no one left to say anything.
Disruptive? Quite possibly in your opinion yes. Others may have found it amusing.
Their point to doing this was to 'peaceably assemble' and to protest the actions of the judicial branch of our government. If all they did was quietly gather at someones private home to kvetch among themselves, then no one would know they were not happy with the ruling. Thus in order for any action to take place they MUST be disruptive to draw attention to what they consider wrong doing.
