A C&D is pretty meaningless if you aren’t willing to back it up.

Copyright law doesn’t allow you to break copyright until someone tells you to stop. It is illegal right away. It’s certainly worse if you are told to stop and don’t, as that makes a pretty open and shut case for willful infringement, but it’s illegal either way.
No argument about modern copyright sucking. As I said elsewhere, we could have a 5-10 copyright term and it wouldn’t significantly impact revenue, since even considering long-tail sales, the fast majority of sales (especially for popular works like games) happen early on. Even making rights holders renew their…
Yeah, Wikipedia is wrong there. It’s citing obsolete versions of the DMCA exemptions, and the latest they have is the 2010 version which doesn’t say what they claim anyway.
I’d say at city like Paris could certainly use a permanent rail-link from the airport to the business district. That’s a route that would get plenty of use.
I think it’s fair to say it’s totally illegal, (based on my own reading, and discussions with my father, who has spent the last quarter century or so as an expert on copyright for academic libraries and archives).
The thing I posted is the fucking exemption you say they have! They do not have it!
I’m getting annoyed at all the responses telling me I’m wrong here, so let me say, you (and Wikipedia) are wrong here. The current rules say:
Maybe read the actual law instead of looking at Wikipedia (which I also posted):
So the current DMCA exemption says this:
Libraries still have to follow copyright law. They buy their books, and aren’t just allowed to make copies whenever they want. The DMCA rulemaking process grants some exemptions, but they aren’t allowed to distribute outside of their physical location, and they aren’t exempt for commercially available games.
Yeah, all these things are still copyrighted, and some are available to buy and run fine on modern systems. Digital preservation can certainly be tricky, but alone can’t justify just making these things available, especially when there are perfectly legal channels (I’m more sympathetic to software that is basically…
But, you know, buy it if you can:
So I’m not an SUV fan, but fleet economy is going up (at least in the US, and I’d imagine elsewhere as well). That makes it seem likely the problem isn’t more SUVs, it’s more driving. Sure it would be better if everyone driving an econobox, but population growth, along with people accepting longer commutes in…
Can’t disagree with that. It’s good that we finally seem to at least be able to charge the shooter (sometimes), but if you want to clean up the police, you need to send the message that other officers can’t cover for this behavior or even stand by.
Done!
It’s done. He’s been charged with murder and is currently in jail.
The former Fort Worth police officer who fatally shot a woman through her bedroom window this weekend was charged with murder on Monday and booked into jail without the possibility for bond, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.
