This is half of the harm WB did: people like me and you started believing Hotfile is somehow evil, disregarding the law and whatnot. We don't know that, we just subscribe to the black propaganda. Behind WB's ham-fisted tactics may well be c

The suit alleges fraud and abuse, not copyright infringement. I.e., Hotfile bemoans WB filed fraudlent takedown notices on content it did not own, harming the company and their users. If you asked me, this is theft of the copyright itself,

I guess you meant, ``Anyone who's using open() can kill the kernel after somebody else loads the module.''. Which is far worse: any unprivileged user, say the victim of rickroll, can bite back hard.

That's true and he is right; having the programmer juggle types is human compiler at work. The more a human is relied upon, the more bugs result. Let the machine (here: the compiler or interpreter) do the dirty work. Of course, there are di
