"We are pleased to once again have a direct relationship with Redbox, providing their consumers access to our movies,"
their consumers? One should think they're Warners consumers too. Given these words, I don't think Warner Truely supports this deal. Oh, and ultraviolet is a piece of crap not worthy of our attention./div>
Well, I got a night's sleep to think about it, and decided to delete my flickr account. Flickr deserves to lose users over this. I'll find me a nice swedish photowebsite, they'll know what to do with a bogus DMCA takedown/div>
I have a Flickr account which I use to for my own photos and this story has certainly convinced me to never get a pro account. If they don't bother to defend their customers, why the hell should I pay them?/div>
It means that the Dutch justice system doesn't award special damages to the aggrieved party. So gettings sued over copyright infringement (which rarely happens) doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
But in all fairness, my remark is a bit crude. What annoys me most is that the people and entrepeneurs in America were a driving force behind this great thing called the internet, but now it's litigated into oblivion. This, combined with the attitude against foreign nations doesn't make them very popular./div>
I already speak German, but that's besides the point. And the Netherlands was liberated by the Canadians. Yes the Americans played a role in fighting Nazi Germany, but that was almost 70 years ago.
In recent years the only notable achievement was pissing of the world.../div>
I live near Amsterdam and have half a mind to take an axe to the atlantic sea cable. Let the US have their own little censored internet. We'll do just fine without you/div>
But still, the idea of the Pham Award intrigues me. Maybe we should hold a poll amongst the techdirt readers to come up with the ten worst patents in the news or courts this year and file for re-examination. Should be interesting./div>
to be honest, at this point they're just jumping on the bandwagon. As for lacking patents, I think Apple won that award with the rounded curves on their ipad./div>
Wow, I never thought i'd see the day technocide was going to be real. This amount of ignorance and stupidity could've been funny if it weren't so depressing.../div>
I have a couple of WB movies with the "free digital copy insde" And in my experience they do not deserve points for trying, because they're not.
It's so horribly bad and broken I gave up using this crap. The download is slow, the website used for registering is user-unfriendly, and (my personal favourite) once you download the file, the DRM system prohibits you from moving the file to another directory or disk.
I wonder: didn't someone at WB download a torrent from a movie to see what the appeal was?/div>
Reading this makes me want to take the internet away from the US, like a little boy who can't play normally with his toy. Apparantly some people can't have nice things./div>
Well, there's the carte blanche (or the little tale about how they can sue anyone for everything) the entertainment industry always wanted. Let's just hope ACTA gets shot down./div>
