My solution to this would be two paper cut-outs placed in front of the camera, aligned so it looks like the person in the picture is at the optimal distance, so that it sees only one person at all times.
In this day and age, buildings that are made to hold lots of people have very good fire safety systems. Chances are you'll hear the fire alarm long before anyone actually sees the fire.
Unless of course, that person that yells Fire set the fire in the first place, to clear the place out.
I think using e-mail as the base of a voting system would be foolproof. The front-end would only accept properly formatted e-mails and process the text in the e-mail, making it impossible to hack the system...unless the system that verifies the e-mail votes is connected to the internet. There are ways to make it so it cannot send any data, it would be much harder to hack a system that doesn't send data because the hacker wouldn't know what did what.
By properly formatted e-mails, I mean the voting office would provide a template for the voters to put the data in.
I can change a line of text on a website in less than a minute. That includes logging onto the FTP server and navigating to the file to edit. Ctrl+F, *type type type*, done.
Re: No, you're overlooking rather severe cultural effects.
" In particular, "country" music is almost unknown. My guess as to why is that those types don't understand computers."
Lol, that's a good assessment. (I prefer no-voice music myself, classical and videogame)
Just think, if the copyright owners sold access to a torrent they owned, they would have next-to-free data transfer in costs. Of course it would be 99.999% profits, so no more $20 DVDs or $49 games, new.
All you have to do for an example of a no-copyright environment is look at the current designer clothes market. So many dresses that are copied, and the originals still sell well. The cheap knock-offs are bought by people what don't want to spend $1000 for one dress. Everyone is happy.
Sadly, I saw something about talks to bring copyright into the designer clothes market recently.

But this PER-YEAR "contract" is a deal killer. Also, too many other strings, it's just not worth it.

The government hold a box, it holds a legal object and an illegal object. If it lets one out it has to let the other out as well.
The legal object is one-of-a-kind. The illegal object is one copy of millions.
What's more important, opening that box, or destroying it?
