How about having Randazza actually support the claim of negligence in legal terms. Seems he has failed to do the same thing you are accusing Mike of.
That?s what negligence is: It is the law saying ?You really should have seen that coming.? When you do something careless, and that carelessness costs someone else money, you pay the ?carelessness tax? ? Negligence.
This is hardly a legal definition of negligence. The person and lawyer bringing the law suit have the burden of establishing negligence, not the person being accused.
Once the ISPs implement this scheme, and people start getting kicked off the Internet, I am thinking that there may be a possibility of a class action antitrust lawsuit against the RIAA/MPAA for using their granted monopolies in a manner that imposes undue influence over contracts between the ISPs and their subscribers.
They don't always go exactly where you'd want them to, and there's a definite variance in the amount of "pop" that results, and sometimes because of a shift in the wind they can turn around and shoot back at you, but overall we're pleased that they're there.
This same statement could also be used to describe numerous governments. Even here in the U.S.
My thought exactly. It seems like it's been decades since the major press outlets have done any serious digging/research for reporting that does not involve a political scandal.
Damn keyboard ... I hit return instead of tab, and a title with a blank comment posted.
Anyway, I am an IP attorney ... I showed my wife a news article about what SGK is doing, and she wrote to them that she will no longer donate to them as a charity. I said good for her!!!
This story provides a clear picture of how our copyright laws are causing the loss of culture and heritage. So much for advancing "the progress of science and useful arts."
Why, you ask? His letter tells us why. This is not the first exchange between Godwin and the FBI on this issue. Many of us would get snarky too if we were in his shoes and the FBI kept trying to misinterpret the law to their own end.
Let me start by saying that I agree with Dark Helmet that Paramount should use the fans' interest as free promotional advertising for the T3 movie and ignore the copyright issues.
In defense of Paramount, I do see a copyright issue here. (Again, it's worth stressing that I believe they are foolish to assert DMCA claims against their fans.) The staging of a movie set is performance art. Everything is planned in advance, from spoken parts, to the actions of the actors and inanimate objects (such as a car being tossed by an imaginary Transformer), to the background scenery. Since this is performance art, any video recording of the performance art is creating a derivative work of the art. If that video recording is done without permission, then the derivative work is unauthorized. When the fans post these unauthorized derivative works online, they are subject to DMCA takedown notices. But, because the movie set is performance art, and the derivative works unauthorized, the DMCA notices issued by Paramount are not bogus (even though I strongly disagree with Paramount's use of the DMCA notices in this instance).
Maybe this is Google's way of getting back at Sony using the automated system Google put in place at the request of the labels to identify infringing content. Google could make the automated system function broadly enough to identify the labels' own offerings to be infringing content so that the labels have to jump through the same hoops everyone else does in order to get the content back online.

I like forgetting about movies ... it allows me to spend my money elsewhere.

Re: Reporters vs columnists
Readers and viewers don't necessarily care about the difference between facts and opinion. Look at how popular Fox News is.

Re:
I support significantly shorter terms for copyright (on the order of 20 years), which would completely solve your hypothetical problem.
