What if this was a business that didn't server the public, but had wireless internally and an employee brought a personal laptop and started downloading "illegally"? Would it be fair to sue the business?
no after reading the original article, I see how the quote you pulled ties in, and I have to say he is right.
All through the post I am doing other things and will quickly snap back to read another paragraph. A few times I looked up some information he had in the article (like his dachshund analogy, I own a dachshund and didn't know it's history (do now, though)). The internet is awesome.(see: http://xkcd.com/214/)
reason for that is because going to the movies is generally cheap entertainment, and with the economy in the tubes, that is very important.
People want their fantasy for 90 to 130 minutes.
Of course the economy is still in the straights after the movie, but now the MPAA execs can buy a second gold plated yacht.
And then the band walks into NONO HQ with the contract and rips it up in the ceo/president/board's face.
At least that is what i would do.
Nobody other than the musicians should make any decisions about said musicians' music.
i agree wholeheartedly, but if this ever leaked and I found out CNN took a bribe to not be on a specific search engine, I am not going to use their site, regardless of which search engine paid the bribe.
So anyone want to make a data haven like in Cryptonomicon? We need an idland country starving for cash with a king/queen/prime minister/president/dictator/whatever that won't interfere and big pipes to the internet's backbone.
How on earth did they now it was an employee.
That dude needs a quick lesson in minding his own damned business.
So. who else thought the river front times pictures on the article were awesome? I think we can add a few more. Though at least one doesn't have a picture as far as I know.
So he doesn't like seeing his father's name, Louis Zukofsky, on the web?
*ahem*
Louis Zukofsky was a grand man.
Louis Zukofsky's son was a jackass.
Louis Zukofsky didn't know why.
Louis Zukofsky gave up qucikly
Louis Zukofsky changed his name to
Zukofsky Louis to confuse his prodigy.
thank you.
please, hold your applause, I owe all i am from the great Louis Zukofsky, who, by far, has the coolest last name i have seen in a while.

At least now we can have people who can type and don't use CAPITAL words to PROVE a POINT.
And i would have to say that your last suggestion would be one hell of an RTB+CWF experiment.
