the really horrible thing about this, is that they tried to screw a man's life up in the process, glorifying in leading him out in handcuffs - they really have no moral values at all, all because of people's natural desire to share music and things that they love.
draining on the band though, always having to put out there and be social to people you may well hate / end up hating. I guess they'd have to take time out if that started to happen.
I'm just going by what I would feel personally though
to know the situation between George Lucas and the many fan created books / programmes. I assume he gets royalties from them and has contracts signed up?
I think people like what they know and don't like change generally so it would take more than that to get them to transfer from google.
It's always thought that the reason people eat shitty food is because it is cheaper, when I think laziness and not wanting to take time to cook is the more important factor, rather than a financial analysis of the options!
I've noticed even youtube seems to have a filtering system which completely blanks any comment voted down enough. It can get a bit annoying though as you can read replies to them and sometimes you wish they'd let you see the comment if you wanted to.
I read that there seemed to be one clause that was meant to remove copyright protection from orphan works, so people could use something when nobody was there to claim copyright, but for some reason this was withdrawn. Seems a shame that the one good thing that could have come out of this was removed
a friend of mine watched Eastenders in front of her 3 year old who 'copied' someone in it and tried to slap her in the face, so should we ban Eastenders? (well don't answer that).

I think a lot of this is down to common sense on the part of parents. My 2 year old gets a bit upset if things get a bit hairy in Chuggington so I'm not about to play Doom 3 in front of him. The games come with age guides so you can choose whether your children should play them.
and I still don't really know what exactly is legal and what isn't, particularly with regards to digital information. I've been on several courses and the upshot of those courses is that there isn't any 'simple' way of telling people what they can and can't do and you have to just hope for the best. Surely simplicity should be the measure of a law which is supposed to be followed by everyone?
One of the most annoying things is, that often you are not allowed to store information which isn't available anywhere to be purchased anyway - so it is just data that is lost to the world.

Wouldn't this be very

shouldn't they inform people
that is illegal to take air conditioning units before fining them? they could have a public service announcement about the evils of doing this
So when are they
going to go after football crowds for singing songs at a match or would they be worried they'd have their heads kicked in
Re: Re:
Re "Everyone should require a contract which clearly defines the terms of reciprocity before allowing their content to be published."
More work for lawyers and total blocks on bothering to produce any content, could this be any more stifling to creativity?
in my opinion
there are too many lawyers in the world, clamouring for work. Perhaps there should be a curb on the profession?
in my opinion
I would be curious

Clause 43

Defenders of the old system
Do you think that defenders of the old system are just too lazy (or crap) to do things differently?
Funny
how our Government didn't seem to work so hard to protect other industries
Adding to the above
