  No, it's more like getting a ticket for not meeting emissions standards in a state that doesn't have emissions standards and not being able to stop the tickets since you're not doing anything illegal. Having an open WiFi is not illegal.
  
  Remember, every time we punish an innocent person, a guilty person goes free.

  I can see an easy way to make it look simpler, but I would require the use of the forth dimension and my spacial warping device is presently lost in the fifth.

  Re: Re: The chart leaves out . . .

  From what I understand, Linux supposedly infringes on an unnamed Microsoft patent. Android is built on top of Linux so Android also supposedly infringes. Since Microsoft suing Google would probably end up in a vary bad way for Microsoft, they go after the companies that use the Android OS for their devices instead of Windows Embedded (my opinion, I have no proof).

  They did say it

  "intellectual property theft" is a synonym for "Copyright Infringement". So they did say it, just not in those exact words.

  Re:

  I had an internal debate over whether a theremin was a real instrument or not. In the end I figure it has music coming out of it, it's an instrument.

  "It's hours and hours of tedious prep work before one can even begin the "fun" parts. "
  
  I could imagine it would be the same if you had to hand build your guitar or piano before you got to play it.

  Re: Re: Re: Justification

  I think his argument was that the copyright would default to the animal's owner, me. So, it's probably not a good comparison (since the monkeys don't have an owner). I guess a better one would be if the stupid rabbit living in my front lawn knocked over my tripod and took a picture of my house. Hmm.. I can't get a good picture of my house, maybe I should try that.

  Justification

  This also does not justify the rather rude E-Mail you received when questioning their request for you to take down the pictures. Ignoring the copyright claim, you still had a fair use claim.
  
  My cat knocked over my camera that was sitting on my end table and got a rather interesting picture of my lamp. I guess I own that copyright since I sat the camera in a location that I knew my cat knocks stuff off of (AKA: in the house).

  It ain't going to stop there

  18 million complaints, that's between 6 and 18 million people in a population of 66 million. Even on the lower end of the scale that's what 9% of the population? That's a hell of a lot of money ISPs lose just in processing the complaints alone, and then there's all the monthly bills that don't exist any more. Using RIAA math, that's billions lost to the economy.
  
  And I'm surprised that only 4% said they would change. Usually with a survey like that the numbers are skewed the other direction for fear of prosecution. Unless they're counting all the people who said "no comment" and "I don't infringe" (doesn't look like it).

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  There are three options when going threw an airport, 1) the backscatter scanner, 2) the pat down, 3) The metal detector. Sounds to me like she just wanted to take the just as effective (maybe more effective) but way less invasive method of the metal detector. So, there's no proof that she showed up intending to whine.

  Re: World not ready for it.

  Seems a simple task to make the outside layer out of rubber with a layer of air between it and the metal like current tires. Or, since most roads are now smooth and solid, we can go the way current tire technology is going and make the entire thing out of rubber.
  
  As for it's uses, I can see uses. Anyone else look at this and think I Robot (the movie)? True two dimensional driving, not just a curvy line. Though, I could imagine it would be a bitch if each tire required an independent motor.
