This is just pathetic.
Has everyone forgotten "Dr. Strangelove"? We could all be blown to bits at any time by a "technical error." Get over it.
Stop with the security already: it plays directly into the terrorists hands. They want to perpetuate a constant state of alarm, so that we spend our time and money "preparing" instead of living. Benjamin Franklin said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Someone explain to me how this helps out anyone at all. Now, to get the right to reuse any footage, you have to contact ALL THE PERFORMERS in the footage AND the OWNER of the footage and get them to sign off.
The only nefarious use would be to stifle clips and recordings of henious acts by the perps refusing to allow copyright, which is brain damaged. (It will get out anyway.)
For a clueless dweeb who was a member of two 2nd rate bands, he sure does think a lot of himself.
I hadn't heard of him before this little outbreak, and I seriously doubt I'll hear his name again after this hooha dies off.
Sorry, dude, the boomers are done. All they have left to do is push up the daisies.
Freudian slip much?
You've got it backwards. It is ethical NOT to try to stop others from copying your ideas. The laws ORIGINALLY stopped others from PROFITING from your work: that was the goal. Unfortunately, the industry convinced Congress that not-for-profit copying was infringement as well.
You are confused, and think that lawful = ethical. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was lawful to imprison people who wed interracially in the 1960's. Was that ethical or moral? No. And neither is fining people or throwing them in jail for sharing a $.99 song.
And I have an issue with you.
You have no sense of community. When Jonah Salk found the cure for polio, he could have patented it, but he didn't. He made it free for everyone. George Washington Carver only recieved a single patent, and never enforced it because he wanted people to use his inventions.
See, if I have a fish, and I give you half, I only have half a fish. If I teach you to fish, I still know how to fish, and now you know how to fish, and we can share in our successes and cover each other's failures.
You are the kind of elitist which makes the bile rise in my throat. I don't know if it is selfishness or lazyness which makes you so self-involved, but I certainly find it disgusting.
Have a happy life.
Lowery defeated Mike because they want Lowery to defeat Mike! It doesn't matter that Lowery brought up the same old, tired, debunked drivel that we've heard execs spout 27 times in the past year, it's DAVID LOWERY! He must win! He's the HERO! Don't look for facts, sense or logic, everything is just someone's opinion, and in their opinion, DAVID LOWERY WON! Because he's DAVID LOWERY!!!!
Mike, you paid him too much heed by actually replying to his rant. All I read was, "Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!"
And I'm over 40!

Not really. Lawyers are hired by businesses and corporations with agendas, and told to make something happen, such as software patents. This is why you see the outragous laberinth of logic in these lawsuits.
If so many lawyers were'nt so light on morals and ethics, we wouldn't have these issues. Valets are supposed to police drunk drivers, but a lawyer just executes his clients wishes, and that's OK?
I always thought the bar was supposed to police it's members, but it appears useless.
Uh, no, I don't think they get to sue the RETAILER for distributing the product. I have yet to hear of Sears, K-Mart or Best Buy being sued for carrying a product which infringed on someones patents.
Apple is seriously scummy. Did they think these companies would come back and sue them? For patent infringement? Doesn't make sense. Smells like corruption of some sort.
See, investors go by risk. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
Loaning money has no guarantee of getting it back. That's why we have interest rates. Only entitled brats sue when an investment goes south. Real investors suck it up, and don't keep all their eggs in one basket.
