What? Are you really suggesting that software can’t be legally distributed by its author? And that a license is required before I can make copies for my own use? This is completely incorrect. What about fair use?

The same law or principle that allows me to use the pages of a book as wallpaper. Why can't I use my legally obtained copy in anyway I choose so long as it doesn't violate any law or contract? My point is that copyright only prote

I am not. Of course it's not legal to use pirated software. By definition pirated software is illegally obtained. But a legally obtained copy can be run without a license, if none was required to obtain the software. As for "leak

This case establishes that the copy in question was in fact a "copy" as defined by the copyright act, but the infringement was due to the disposition of the parties' rights via a license - not inherent to the copyright. This

I find it difficult to invest time in reading this when the author demonstrates such a basic misunderstanding of copyright: >...software, by default, probably cannot be used, modified, or redistributed without a license from the copyrigh

If I've legitimately obtained a copy of your work, then I'm entitled to use it, read it, even make my own copies for personal use. Any new work I attempt to distribute would be measured against your original to determine infringem

In 2009, 3 Quarks Daily credited this excerpt to an article in Aviation Week & Space Technology. What date exactly, I couldn't determine. See https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2009/03/sr71-disinte

Not buying any of it. If we judge by previous longevity, my guess is that Garamond will be the only one of those fonts still in use in the 30th century.

I don't get it. It pulls up journal entries from the 1970's on PubMed. Are those "on the internet"? What about Google Books results?

I don't think the Guardian article supports your assertion that "several actors confirm it". It mentions that Kohl made a similar statement, not that Kohl was an "actor" in terms of the original "promise"

by jacobsievers 4y ago
The "promise" wasn't exactly as suggested in the quote. It wasn't agreement, but part of a back-and-forth thought problem. Gorbachev was asked if he preferred a reunited Germany to be a member of Nato and thus constraine

Strange article; not sure why it's getting so much traction. It completely ignores the work of most of the administration, other than a sideways nod to the CIA's Bill Burns.

Minor quibble: This implies that electricity only takes the path of least resistance. Electricity actually takes all available paths in inverse proportion to the impedance of the paths. This is why grounding rods don't keep you from
