I like that. Is the US law universally applied in this part of the Galaxy?

With exception to scales better than 1:50000 maps, I am afraid these are again classified in Russia. And there are these famous regulations applied - http://goo.gl/OF5bSn . Basically everything that has relief from 1:50000

Very true. Thank you, You saved me from explaining that to guys below in this thread.

Looks like you know little about copyright law and how it applies. Very strange, you protect clear violators. Guys bought maps illegally, illegally exported classified material and are trading(!) classified information. Please, let me decid

Well, over here at 1:20 000 000 Lithuania has small Klaipeda, but Latvia has no Daugavpils. http://goo.gl/f2ABiy . It has another explanation when relates to 1:20M (ports depicted for small republics). But in my school atla

Actually I keep aset of Soviet military maps for Afghanistan. If you are interested, We can make some field experiments if you are ready to get to Bagram with Trimble GPS. It is now controlled by USAF, so you can feel certainly protected.

oh I am. My mother in law spent her entire youth drawing that exact maps.

What? The USSR was one of the creators of the framework IP protection conventions. Russia is legal successor of the USSR and paid its foreign debts by the way. So what Mapstor does is plain ripping off Russian IP, since maps in question we

With all respect, I have to redirect you to public libraries in Russia or for example Latvia. There was no Internet before 1991. Easy prey is 1: 2 500 000 school political atlas of 1980. There is no city of Daugavpils on the map of Latvia (

since I made these, I can answer. You have to accurately account boundaries of forest lots in order to correctly perform operations there. Every lot had individual economic purpose and program of development. There were 10-year plans, so ba

You are quite right.

As a former Soviet geodesist and forest inventory specialist, I must tell that military 1:50 000 maps are extremely accurate. What was intentionally skewed are civil 1:250 000 maps. The highest resolution and the best accuracy have been pro

So and where are IP rights of the still living former Soviet topographers? Is Mapstor paying royalty to specialists still operating at the 5th Cartography Enterprise in Minsk? British have been pirates for ages. Old habits never die.

This is such a beautiful art object. Interesting, does it author know that white is colour of death in the Middle East?

Thank you for exhaustive answer. It seems you mix personal, communal and private property. In the Soviet Union there was no private property. However, it respected personal property, so was the basis for criminal law, and you could not walk

The point is you cannot distinguish between reality and illusion even if your model accurately describes reality. In the absence of mind everything else exists, but there is no one to _know_ about that and exploit that knowledge. It reminds

I really like your point about the vinyl. However, land property rights are also a fantasy. Its a legal construct. I mean that. How can anyone claim to"own" the land if us as a species are just 2M years old, comparing to the Earth

In many cases to determine its necessity you set a cookie. Seriously, can you name a mainstream news site in Britain that does not set a cookie?

I like the direction of your thought. However, the practical future may bring more of personal complex of intelligent browsing agents, pre-fetching info for the user, stripping out 'cruft' to make web useful again and ....m consum

that is exactly my point. And even when you have a single professional webdev/design team, you have no power over legal restrictions (EU cookie widget) or contractual obligations boss signed (ads must appear next morning). Real world j

You are right. However, the problem has no resolution in technical sense. When your boss tell you 'integrate that sh#t to this page now' you are just doing your job, right? You are not going to spend 4 nights developing technical

Well, I do not think brokers are eager to buy Venezuelan IT start-up shares just because Big Mac is most severely undervalued there.

The web today does indeed look broken. But this (oh, especially CNN) example is only to show that this problem is merely organisational. If there is no QA process in organisation, quality criteria are non-existent. If there are ever shiftin

right you are. Clocks measure distance, that by common agreement we call 'time'. It is practically useful only because we have memory.

by ommunist 11y ago
you do not know that, there is no method to prove. For practical purposes we can have 'time'. But it does not mean it exists. Look, it is uneasy concept, I know. But it is not Kantian at all. The thing is that we build tools to au
