My iPod shuffle has no glowing screen at all. I pretty much wear it all the time and have worn it to moves. I listen to podcasts instead of the pre-movie advertising.
So I think I might try this out. Think they'll let me stay to watch it twice on one ticket? If not then I'll just wait until it's out on disk and rent it at a RedBox for $1.20. Of course they will have stripped the bonus features, but I'll have it on my iPod.
Darren Aronofsky put a downloadable audio commentary file out on the Internet to go with "The Fountain". He said he didn't have time to get it onto the DVD so he was putting it out later.
"The Fountain" is one of about a half dozen DVDs I own and I did listen to it with his commentary track. I loved it.
I use bittorrent every time I take classes from http://fxphd.com
Each term all the students have to download the class videos for each class. There's a minimum of four classes times ten weeks or 40 videos. Then there's often supplements and extra materials depending on the class.
By having all the students use bittorrent they can keep their bandwidth requirements reasonable and keep the class costs lower.
If you want to blame the technology for the all the ills then outlawing cars would save 15 or 20 thousand lives every year.
We had tickets to a show that is now sold out. Some friends came in from out of town that day. The choice was to not go, go without our friends or buy in front of the venue from a scalper.
We bought two tickets from a scalper in front of the venue for 15% above face value and were glad for the service they provided.
Here's a very simple test to tell if scalper are providing a service: if people buy from them then they ARE providing a service.
Same goes for any service, legal or illegal, if there's a market someone will provide it.
So the only question is, should it be legal. Think of prostitution or pay-day loans or political super PAC.
So if I show up to one of Louis CK shows with a ticket and they say I can't come in, I think that I have been harmed (is tort the right word?) and have the right to a refund plus damages.
Of course for $45 even small clams court is too expensive to make it worth the effort.
This sound a lot like Omega using copyright to stop the sale of watches in the USA that were not bought through the "official" Omega channel. I understand that in some cases people want to have total control over what they used to own.
How's this different from the original architect writing into the contract on a house he designed that he (and his estate) get's 0.1% of the sale price EVERY TIME IT SELLS?
We can wipe out scalpers any time we want ... if nobody buys from then then they will be gone. Simple as that.
Look what happened to Arthur Anderson after Enron ... nobody would use their services after it was reveled that they couldn't be trusted. (The same should have happened to Ford when it came out they made the corporate decision to pay off the families who had members die in the exploding Pintos because it was cheaper than fixing the problem.)
The same should be true for software and games and anything ... if you bought it you should be able to resell it. A willing seller and a willing buyer, right?
"That sucking sound you hear is our human/constitutional rights getting drained away by the people YOU put in office."
I don't hear much talk in these pages about the NDAA that Obama already signed which effectively repealed the Habeas Corpus Act. (Read The NDAA: a clear and present danger to American liberty in The Guardian where it says The US is sleepwalking into becoming a police state, where, like a pre-Magna Carta monarch, the president can lock up anyone)
Now CISPA is pushed through is another nail in our coffin.
No but he could hire 3,000 lawyer here at the drop of a patent and sue everybody making competing products. That's want make America grate ... no, not great.
Look, I agree with you on copying in general but this analogy isn't correct. If you can scan currency AND you print it out AND you can pay for stuff with that scanned currency:
A. That will devalue the currency due to inflation of the money supply. (That's also why it's bad when the government does it legally. Same result: inflation.)
B. Printing copies of money is illegal in all countries in the world because ... see A above.
This analogy only works if you scan, print and use the scanned currency. If you put a CD in a scanner and scan the art and put that scanned picture of the CD on the internet for people to download, they can't play the songs. Nobody's suggesting they care of you scan the CD art work ... although I'm sure they'd complain about it.
So, in fact this is a good analogy for the copyright maximalists. They would say that copying copyrighted infinite goods and putting them on the internet devalues them in the same way as counterfeiting money, if unchecked, will devalue that money. And that's why, they'd say, that the prohibition of counterfeiting is strongly enforced and that's exactly why the prohibition of copying copyrighted goods should be strongly enforced too.
In fact the marginal cost of printing another currency bill is very low also, compared to its value in circulation. But we all know that printing a huge supply of paper money will not add value to the economy.
To summarize, I think that copyright as it is currently practiced is broken and I also think scanning and printing currency as a analogy to devaluing copyrighted infinite goods is an argument FOR strong copyright enforcement just like counterfeiting laws.
Why don't we put together a set of proposals for how they should run THEIR business? It should have about the same weight and could be quite entertaining.
Who will hold the copyright on the portrait? Portrait with one person, two people, family, baby on bearskin rug. Can dance be copyrighted? How about fashion runway walking style?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Are scalpers providing a service?
I think I do see the point. I'm just sad to see the "first sale" principal being attenuated by everyone.
Why not just limit sales to the box office an hour before the show? (Yes, I know that causes other problems too.)
Again, don't like scalpers ... don't buy from them. Don't like prostitutes, don't buy from them. Don't like pay-day loans, don't buy from them.
To me it is simple.

Just my opinion.
Sounds similar to Omega
This sound a lot like Omega using copyright to stop the sale of watches in the USA that were not bought through the "official" Omega channel. I understand that in some cases people want to have total control over what they used to own.

That's why counterfeiting is illegal.
