I'm not going to argue the legality or it (I don't speak legal-ese well enough) past this. I just don't care if it's illegal or not. If I'm breaking the law, I don't care; If I'm not, then I don't care either. *innocent look*... why should aI watch my language, I don't see anything

actualy, I've just spent part of my morning reading the DMCA, and I don't see how ripping to mp3 is illegal (at least in the US). "circumvention of technological measures used to protect copyrighted works, and [...] tampering with the integrity of copyright management information." --6th paragraph under Title I the works are remaining copyrighted and protected, I just extended the protection to include works ripped by me onto my computer... oh yeah, a co-worker t

legally it's mine to play, and play it I will, just not their way Since there's no way to trace it, then ripping (I don't distribute) is a prefect crime, so viva la revolution! fnck them, and I'll enjoy my mp3 music I supported Besides, the whole copyrigth thing would be an American thing, so if I ca

The only way to prevent ripping of the tracks, would be to make them unplayable on equipment that can rip (computers, some stereos, etc...) Tool's Lateralus won't even go from my stereo to my minidisc player because of a protection scheme (anti-optical output) But... preventing playback on certain equipment is a bad PR issue for labels, so it's a f___ed if you do, f___ed if you don't. My opinion is that I own the CD, I get to listen to it my way... mp3, minidics, tape

Sony's screwed themselves over with protection too... They released a Celine Dion CD that crashed conmputers and was unplayable even in some of their own drives... CDA and MP3 on a CD is a bad idea for copy protection... it's just a rip-able as a regular CD, and would raise cost of production just a tad for the time spend getting the music into MP3 format (no label is dumb enough to record in it initially) on a side, if you want to get you music fix even if you drive won't re

I said it was a hoax... I got deleted when I did.... You don't think it's better to let people know it's a hoax rather than let them get it, fear it's real and spread the delusion? Dark Mist did a service, and was penalized for it... What about the people that don't know where to go for virus hoax info? Do we just give 'em a big ol' FU and say 'you should have known better'?? but that's not the point... A post was deleted, no one knew about it (minus the admins), s

somehow, I completely overlooked Dark Mist's last post (#5)... sorry about that... I don't think it makes you look like a fool, I just think the system has a significant flaw... /me prays a 'system flaw' doesn't delete him

aaah.... coolt, but I still think that there should be a better way I know, I know, the grass is always greener... What about if there was a way to close the thread so that people (Dark Mist and Me) know it's closed, we can know why, and we won't repost it thinking it's our fault. Just an idea, but

I just noticed that there is a thread about an email hoax by Dark Mist here: https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=125801 I posted last night asking if he knew it was a hoax, and I didn't go back till just a little while ago (I saw new posts). Now, my reply is gone. Someone else is there mentioning it's a hoax (Fuzzy Logic). I'm more than just a bit curious why my post was deleted. The exact text was approximatly (sorry, maybe not exact, it was delted, I couldn

alo: What country would you fight for then? If it ever came down to it, I would stand up and fight for America. I hate the thought of it, and I hate violence, but assuming a draft was reinstated and I could non-volunterily enter service, I would not leave. I don't join now, because of personal feelings, but if I was required to because of my citizenship, I would fight for America. I have disagreements with America at times, but I can't think of any other country I'd r

Glad you give a damn I don't care for people who EXPECT respect for a volunteer position. I respect most military people who do what they do. Would you respect me if I cured cancer? what about if I did it just to sell the vaccine for a few billion here and there. It's fsking objective. I don't care about being respected and I don't expect respect. It's my opinion. Do what

The only problem I have even seen with the military is just in a few... There are a few (such as my cousin) that have the feeling that just joining the military means everyone must respect them. I'm sorry, ubt he joined the military does not make him a hero and I do not repect him by any means. He volunteered to join, and it was his own choice. I tend to see a number of military personel that do get too proud and haughty. Not many, but a few. btw - my cousin went AW
