Of course, the ruling is being met with all manner of hand-wringing from opponents of a la carte and the cable industry about how this is going to "destroy television as we know it." Well, if 'destroying television as we know it' is what's required to save television, then I say go ahead and blow that sucker up!
Many FBI Agents Find Racial Profiling Useless, But Those Up Top Feel It's Just A Failure To Get Everyone On Board That's because they don't remember when black Americans were getting lynched for every violent crime that occurred, but there was no parallel reduction in the rates of violent offences. Short memory the US Government has, young padawan.
It may protect Google [...] On the contrary, it could wind up biting them in the butt. Example: Google: "How are we supposed to know what's infringing before you tell us?" WB: "You clearly knew about those infringing images in that app before we ever got notice of them from our lawyers. Sort it out!
Yesterday, I think I had a psychic vision of what Ajit Pai was dreaming: Netflix High Priest: "We worship our Dark Father, Open Connect CDN." Netflix celebrants (droning): "Open Connect CDN is the path to true enlightenment. Only the faithful shall ever know the joy He can bring."
How The US Government Legally Stole Millions From Kim Dotcom Personally, I wouldn't have even dignified that headline with the 'legally'. I mean, just because you're following the letter of the law, it doesn't always make what you're doing right.

Correction: seeking as much personal info as possible when switching to mobile apps marked the end of Square-Enix. The Nintendo DS is a mobile device that I've never had a problem purchasing games for because the carts don't snag and send on such things as my device IMEI, phone number, or contacts list.
But perhaps the biggest news was the passage of the Digital Economy Bill through the House of Lords, which had only one positive outcome: it garnered another hilarious message song from Dan Bull. Speaking of that, either Download This Song or Don't Download This Song*. Your choice. *Official video "Not Available on Mobile", so...
Very interesting to hear of Dibsney arguing the following: If anything, modern developments underscore the need to protect the public domain from the aggregate toll of copyright royalties that would accumulate forever. Change the word 'copyright' back to 'patent' and it becomes clear.
Too little, far too late. I'm already playing old games via various emulators on my phone, and DeNa can just fuck off as well because only my network provider and myself need to know my device IMEI.
So someone inputs parameters for an image into a computer, and the generated image is duly filed for copyright registration. Any court case is gonna fall on it's face because there has to be a bit more human input than that, not just putting bots on the job.
