IMO, if a system can make intelligent decisions based on the input, then it's intelligent, since it's man made it's also artificial.

I'm providing arguments, all you are able to do at this point is to insult. Pathetic.

It's a pretty common cause for law suits actually and is known as reverse-engineering. It touches on exactly what we are talking about here. You seem to believe that the inherent value of something is exclusively associated with the cost of

Sure you can, first you measure the parts then you manufacture identical parts and assemble a car that is a copy of mine. I wouldn't have any issues with this, but you would violate similar laws and the car manufacturer might sue you if you

You can copy my car if you want, if you steal my novel I don't have it anymore. But seriously, why do you think that physical things costs money at all? Is this an inherent property of something being physical, or is the cost related to sal

As I said copying is only one part of copyright. If you spend a year in production and spending a large amount of money in the process. You should be the owner of the product, or anyone could just make a copy and sell it at a heavy discount

It's not only about copying and sharing, but also who has the right to sell and distribute. If you create software, you are copyright owner of that software, which means I can not take it, sell it and take credit for it. I don't think I get

GPL is good, since it's up to the author to chose if he/she want's to license it under the terms of the license. It's the authors role of a copyright owner that makes this possible. Forcing everyone to share their work seems like a bigger v

Of course, but if no one wants to buy it no one is forced to either.

Absolutely, and this is my point as well. If you read the post I responded to it should be clear I think. That is, if you believe in the theoretical basis of the law, then the internet does not change that fact.

I'm simply taking the discussion back to the topic. A discussion about the theoretical basis of a copyright law.

It's society's responsibility to enforce the laws, this isn't a discussion about internet per se, it's not excluded from the laws of the society. Other phenomenons are also thriving on the internet like credit card frauds. By your logic thi

It's a strawman argument, since there are two components here. First, it's hard to make a living as a writer, perhaps your just not good enough or only appeal to a small part of the population. Secondly your right to get paid for your work.

It's a basic right, if you spend a year writing a book, you are the one who have the rights to sell it and thus make money from your work. Same with software, a GPL license would be worthless without copyright.

Is it only me who find it funny that the name is allthatiswrong given how many factual errors there are in there. :) Can't quite make up mind if the author is trolling or if he have just failed to read up on the topic he tries to school us

I found the discussion about domain experts interesting, as if there is no domains within CS. Wouldn't domain expertise in networks, machine learning, DSP, data bases, operating systems etc. be of any value.

I sometimes use a wrapper around mv that moves the folder to trash. Guess it's not that portable but it could be replaced by moving to /tmp or something instead perhaps.

I'm not sure I would want to store my files on other peoples private computers.

I could make sense for a computing cluster, look at the demo of the BareMetal node, not even a local disk is present.

Makes sense for mathematics to be a loop since it's a self contained system.

I guess what he really means is Gnome, KDE. But never the less, it's a pretty polarized view he tries to portrait.

I agree, If you have a credit card, it comes with the same limitation for obvious reasons.

Are you referring to the article linked here? It doesn't mention censorship once. Which is good since this has nothing to do with censorship, that is my point and why it's a cheap rhetoric trick. And then comparing it to China, well all I c

by adsr 15y ago
Censorship is even more inflammatory IMO, it's not mentioned but the headline suggests it. It's a pretty cheap rhetoric if this is what he actually said, it's like saying that the U.S is like China in regards to Copyright if it's not blocke

Interesting, but what purpose does that serve? Wouldn't it be possible to formulate a rule for an organization, where you deny this as well.

by adsr 15y ago
Wouldn't it be possible to deny any scripts that looked like that? I know that it must obviously be legal Javascript, but if it's formatted like one blob of text, deny. This might be a too naive approach to work, I'm mostly raising the ques

Your first point is related to patents, not copyright, moreover patents doesn't exist in art. You can for example make a painting of a duck, which get's me inspired to make a painting of a duck with a hat, that is perfectly fine. So you thi

Windows users could do this already without Microsoft owning Skype. Users who aren't able to install Skype on their own, probably won't use it anyway.

Yeah but if company A spends x million in production budget, how is it fair for company B to sell the product without paying company A? Or perhaps A isn't a company but an author or software developer. My point was that this isn't creating

by adsr 15y ago
Well you are wrong, because you are arguing about patents on which we agree. Copyright is not related in any way, patents is the "protection of ideas" which is especially unfit in the field of software. Let me explain. Let's say you are cre
