I had a video not using monetization on youtube using a track from Nine Inch Nails - The Slip (2008) which to this day on their site says "the slip is licensed under a creative commons attribution non-commercial share alike license.". I had them in the credits, links to their site, about all you could ask.. Got a notice just like that. Disputed the notice with info including the quote of the licence from their site, they responded still saying I was breaking copyright, without giving any details of how.. Anyway I just stripped the Audio and cut the credits short where it mentioned them and stopped buying their music.
So far nothing I have seen matches a keyboard. Touch screen is garbage.
One thing I noticed is: it is very hard to find a normal keyboard (non flat, etc) that has white/offwhite keys with black letters anymore. These all black ones are fine but a lot harder to see under low light conditions..
I had a school principal tell me once he would see me in jail. Within a year he was in jail himself for having sex with a student in my class (the same class his own daughter was in) and an ugly student at that...
Seems this principal's face would go good in a lot of images and across the web, be quite funny if this got viral enough to make the bitch quit.
I have not read into the case but the cop who shot 47 rounds I am guessing here but it sounds like he went through the round in the chamber, 2 clips and most likely loaded a 3rd clip. A good bit of cops carry this gun.
http://www.glock.com/english/glock19_tech.htm
Even with 19 round clips thats 38 rounds plus the one in the chamber for 39. Cops do not use big huge clips for obvious reasons. So in 20 seconds he emptied a clip, loaded another, emptied it, loaded another and used some of those. It is unlikely they have more than 19 round clips, they might even have 17 round.
As far as I am concerned what they did was at least Voluntary manslaughter along with several other crimes and at least some of them deserve the punishment for that. However, it is VERY common for cops to get away with these things. All they typically have to do is say they saw what looked like a weapon or they felt their life was in danger or something of that nature.
Cops fear the people and people fear the cops.... It is a bad cycle going on here and the cops are the ones who are always armed with lethal force.
Any time I am pulled over I am slightly afraid for my life. I always try to pull over in a parking lot type place if possible, i put my hands on the steering wheel and explain any time I am going to reach for something, etc...
They then can file the charges. They still have not after all this time. If this was about "rape" and they could prove such a thing, they would file the charges. File the charges. File the charges.
So just like prices went up after they split AT&T into AT&T, MCI & Sprint? Maybe my memory is wrong but I was paying around 25 cents a minute to call places with the AT&T monopoly and very very quickly that went to 10 cents a minute with competition from MCI & Sprint. Even went down from that later..
Even if somehow a monopoly manages to charge a "fair price" for their services, it hurts innovation. Why spend all the money to implement a new idea, it's not like a competitor will beat you to the punch.
I own 0 apple products and doubt I will ever buy one. Highly prefer something more open (Samsung + Android?). At any rate I think the stock will rise for the iPhone 5 with all the sales of that coming.. I wouldn't sell quite yet.. But yes I would sell.
Yep. I have no idea about this until this article. Now I will be viewing the video. I will remember a bit of what is in the video just because that is how peoples brains work and how you issued a false DMCA to try to squash criticism. I do not think this had the effect you wanted or maybe you do like people disliking you even more than they already did..
I am a very experienced pirate with access to anything I could want though around 40 private trackers and other methods. This article in several aspects made perfect sense to me. I will spend the little money I have seeing a movie in the theater for multiple reasons. Mainly it would be for the huge screen, awesome sound, great popcorn I gladly overpay for, etc. I could watch a TS, SCR, etc at home, but if I know I am going to like the movie I MUCH rather see it in a theater. With music I have my favorite bands, I much rather have a physical copy with the paper inserts with all the art, lyrics etc. The music industry lost me though when I wanted my favorite bands CD and it was on the internet ready for download but it would not be in stores for months.. (the band leaked it themselves)
I agree. Fighting piracy at all costs as part of your business model is idiotic. Going as far as Ubisoft and some other publishers have done starts hurting your legitimate long time customers. Your PC users are typically a bit more informed and it isn't that difficult to pirate stuff even for the novice. They just need to be smart about it and do a little research and not just download the first random link on thepiratebay or whatever.
Increasing sales should be the goal. Yes curbing piracy can be part of that of course. Trying to eliminate it is obviously not possible and misguided.
I haven't paid for a piece of software in ages. Sorry I am just one of those people now when I want something I don't even bother looking at a legal way to obtain it, its much easier to simply go download it from one of the private trackers or whatever. I used try to pay for programs after I tried them out, then several times I ran into issues with DRM, me using the license too many times (from changing hardware, reinstalling OS, etc), It was simpler to download a keygen or crack than it was to go through the legit means to get them to give me a new working key. So I quit bothering. So companies that do things of that nature turned me off to the whole business unfortunately for their whole industry.
I am fine with people thinking whatever they want about my activities. I read these types of articles all the time. I pirate for many reasons.. I can not buy the same quality, convince, etc as piracy usually offers me. Non DRM, commercial free TV shows within an hour of them airing without a limited annoying DVR box and cable service. Games that work offline with no issues like the Ubisoft games had. Videos that play on any device without any BS...
I am not saying I dont feel a tiny bit bad every so often, mainly about a small programmer with his own app or game, something like that here or there. Those are the ones I used to try to pay for. I often end up going open source when I can on those anyway.
I did pay for a few MMORPG games, since you are more or less forced to. They were well worth the money.
Yeah.. End of the day I just want to watch my tv shows, a movie here or there etc. I don't mind paying for it. I pay for extra hard drives, better internet and use more of my own time due to piracy. My time would be worth more than anything, that is why I have my rss feeds etc going to save me time. It isn't about what is right, wrong, etc. It is about what is the best way for me to see shows with the little money I have to do that.
I think they could do a lot better for themselves and everyone by joining the rest of the internet in the 21st century and at least making an attempt to offer me an alternative. I do go to the Daily Shows website to see an episode maybe once a month, if it was out right after it aired I might just do that every day but there is a waiting period where you cant watch it. I go to HBO's website some times to see the Overtime from Bill Maher. That is about it. I would watch a bit more on their sites if I wasn't already 'having' to pirate everything else already and there wasn't some waiting period.. To me it is simply watch it now via piracy or watch it hours, days, etc from now on their website...
So the whole time I been posting comments I have had Media Player classic paused in the background with a TV show that aired on an over the air station around 8 hours ago. I downloaded it from a private tracker, 720p, mkv, etc about 30 minutes after it aired automatically via rss & utorrent.
I decided to see if I could view this on iTunes, Amazon, Hulu or the website for station, etc.
Station website (Fox)
This episode is available Online or via TV On Demand to customers of participating cable or satellite TV providers.
The episode automatically unlocks online 8 days after airdate.
Amazon: Yes, I can watch it it looks like for $1.99 in a lower quality only streaming in a browser it seems. Maybe they have other options if I looked into amazon prime or something.
iTunes I assume has the same thing amazon has, im guessing Hulu+ doesnt have it. I am not installing their terrible software to search and look.
Hulu+: "If you are a DISH Network subscriber, you can connect to Hulu and watch new episodes of FOX shows the day after they air on TV. Otherwise, episodes will be available on Hulu.com 8 days after they air on TV."
So each show has different rules depending on the content providers/owners. I would most likely have to watch it in a browser (yes full screen), at a lower quality. I could not put it on my devices, save a copy for when I was bored and wanted to just mellow out with a cartoon playing. What about being able to download a copy I can actually use on my devices. The shows I watch from other countries that do not air here. etc? So I can pay for Hulu+, amazon, etc they dont have a few of the shows I watch and I still end up having to pirate those and I can't use the content like I can the pirated versions.
I am better off setting up a MythTV (or whatever people use these days) box and recording the crap myself over the air. I could setup all the scripts to do all that sure. I just do not see the point.
Comcast would end up with less or the same money from me I think. I pay around $50 for my internet atm. I would pay for the lower internet if piracy wasn't an option but would pay for the lowest cable package. We are talking at most $5 I think. They can have that $5 no problem, I got $20 if they would just provide me a service as good as piracy.
My piracy was this bad before those services existed. But yes some of what i get is on those services in a nice DRM format that I have to watch in their player and can't put on my phone to watch when I am on my lunch at work, etc. Then I would have to wait days, weeks, months, even years to watch content. Shows are not on those services the say day or week that they air. I'll gladly pay $20 a month for a service that will give me what piracy offers me.
and almost all my money goes to rent, food, bla bla. I don't have money to give them. If I did it would be at most $20 a month at this point. So here is my $20 lets work out something so they can provide me with what piracy gives me and we can all be happy and stop talking about it.
Even if it did work out in 'their' favor. They would get all of... $10? a month from me after the cable providers, redbox, etc got theirs.. Here I got $20 a month for them now, no problem, now just provide me what piracy provides me and lets just stop all this nonsense and move on.
I am no sure they are. I piracy WAY more than I could ever afford to buy/pay for/etc. As any normal person I talk to people at work about how much i love this show or that show. Actually I work at a place that sells this media lol. I tell customers how good this show or that movie is all the time.
Hypothetically if piracy was NOT an option... I would have cable TV, most likely the lowest or mid package. I would in turn pay less for internet (to the same company that would provide my tv). They would end up with around the same money from me, but I would use a lot less bandwidth. I already am to the point I do not listen to newer music. They would still get nothing from me. I would back up my CDs legally and I doubt they would get anything from me. Movies... I think I would buy 5 or so a year? Maybe some cheap ones here or there but honestly I don't care about watching most movies. Actually since I do not have the money to buy movies actually I would use redbox for sure.
I would set up a MythTV or whatever box to record 90% of what I watch now. I would be left without ever being able to watch a few shows not aired in my country. I would not ever watch some of the shows I see on HBO, etc. I might buy Dexter & Breaking Bad, find another way to watch them or go without them.
So I wouldn't watch as much, I would have a lot less to tell customers and friends about.. Redbox would make a little money from me, in turn so would them... Not sure if it would work out in their favor or not at the end of the day
I had a video not using monetization on youtube using a track from Nine Inch Nails - The Slip (2008) which to this day on their site says "the slip is licensed under a creative commons attribution non-commercial share alike license.". I had them in the credits, links to their site, about all you could ask.. Got a notice just like that. Disputed the notice with info including the quote of the licence from their site, they responded still saying I was breaking copyright, without giving any details of how.. Anyway I just stripped the Audio and cut the credits short where it mentioned them and stopped buying their music.
Keyboards.
So far nothing I have seen matches a keyboard. Touch screen is garbage.
One thing I noticed is: it is very hard to find a normal keyboard (non flat, etc) that has white/offwhite keys with black letters anymore. These all black ones are fine but a lot harder to see under low light conditions..
principal
I had a school principal tell me once he would see me in jail. Within a year he was in jail himself for having sex with a student in my class (the same class his own daughter was in) and an ugly student at that...
Seems this principal's face would go good in a lot of images and across the web, be quite funny if this got viral enough to make the bitch quit.
Mouse and Keyboard
Until they have something that can read my mind with very good accuracy I do not think I will be giving up my physical mouse or keyboard
47 rounds
I have not read into the case but the cop who shot 47 rounds I am guessing here but it sounds like he went through the round in the chamber, 2 clips and most likely loaded a 3rd clip. A good bit of cops carry this gun.

MCI & Sprint
So just like prices went up after they split AT&T into AT&T, MCI & Sprint?
