I care about both of them but they are entirely different. I am not bound to care about one if I care about another. It is not an AND situation where if I care about one thing I HAVE to care about the other one. Its not like if I care about GNU GPL...I have to care about Music copyright as...
Weird thread title and a weirder thought behind the thread.
Can someone tell me that what is there in a Open Source Software that makes its users saints or copyright fanatics (which is what this thread intends to show them like)? I didn't get any red and blue pills with my Ubuntu 7.10...
lol! Just because you have been completely owned and all your points telling us about Microsoft being a victim of RIAA have been destroyed...you start posting these short stupidities? You are gx_saurav (read complete idiot) after all :D
The law! The law stops RIAA & MPAA from suing MS because there is no clause in DMCA that can "force" Microsoft to include DRM. Why Google went to DoJ? Go and read about the settlement and clauses that were signed by Microsoft in their antitrust case.
Exactly what I have been trying to hammer in...
...and they could have easily by-passed this choice. XP is still being used by people around the world for TV viewing and recording WITHOUT DRM! This was not a compulsion but a choice from Microsoft.
Oh a person who spells government as governmant has a word like "pinnacle" in his vocabulary...
...and how is that comparable to this situation? :confused:
Yes and Microsoft even without DRM would not have broken ANY clause of DMCA while releasing Vista. They just needed to exclude recording capabilities and leave that to the user to use and decide. Just like how Windows XP was working. XP...
People are already doing their TV recordings without any DRM or Vista-MCE. DMCA didn't force Microsoft to include DRM...it was their "choice" not a necessity! Microsoft could have easily released Vista without DRM and none of the clauses in DMCA could have stopped them. Stop lying!
Microsoft...
...and according to which orders of RIAA & MPAA was Microsoft being forbidden to sell their OS until they included DRM in it?
...and what law would that come under?
You've been proven to be a disgusting liar time and again but you just won't improve. I wonder how you sleep at night after...
I am not saying that the way he earns his money is commendable. I am just saying that the work he does towards humanity is commendable. I still maintain that his business practices are nothing less than disgusting.
You don't need to donate obscene amounts of money to be good...you just need to...
