...if he named Siri as a co-respondent?
So I'll wait for the check to clear. You have the $ before you provide service.
BTW if MC and VISA are out, *all* of these services will take checks. Checks are better than nothing!
Or actual CASH sent by registered mail. Even if you get ripped off 10% of the time you're ahead.
The recipients could also appoint dozens or hundreds of private citizens to accept payments for them. Let them cut off one and two can spring up in its place.
CitiBank and MBNA may THINK they own the payments systems, Let's show them just how essential they are.
Too many ways around them to even think of all of them.
Yawn.
What's the big deal? Pay by check! What's a week or two to save your rights?
IAAL and I can tell you Mr. McAleese will not be a member of the bar much longer. As attorney offenses go, this is toxic / nuclear.
This case will disappear quickly now that the real party-in-interest is revealed.
If Adobe did this to convert pirates to payers, boy did they screw up.
Crackers will just crack the bit that says "paid up this month" instead of cracking activation. Activation is not the only thing that can be cracked!
When this becomes obvious, Adobe will suffer and shrink to a less important company.
Adobe, beware the wages of greed!
This comment is coming in kind of late, so no doubt it will be little seen, but everyone seems to be overlooking that it will take only a slight improvement of book scanning technology to let everyone with a paper book duplicate it as an e-book. Let the publishers try to offer their product by license only; left them try to evade the first sale doctrine; it just won't work. When you can buy a $300 scanner that will turn the pages of your book and produce either PDFs or an optically character recognized file, this whole issue is just going to go away.
Well, if you got this chocolate to your body temperature in your mouth, is there any reason why your saliva still wouldn't *dissolve* it?
I wonder if they could be gotten for breach of contract.
That's what class actions were invented for. But republican legislators have cut back the situations in which class actions can be filed. If enough disgrunted fans agree they can hire a lawyer to check if class action is possible. If it is and they file one, companies like Worldcon could learn to be just as afraid of consumers as they are of Big Media.
Wonderful story of his, The Configuration of the North Shore.
An idea whose time as come. What a shame no one thought of it, or could make a credible beginning of it, sooner.
Open-source pharmaceuticals. It boggles the mind, but the overwhelming impression is of goodness, rectitude, unselfishness, and light.
If this works we should all thank God, or whomever we believe we owe.
FUCK ALL THESE GREEDY BASTARDS. Everywhere you turn there is anticonsumerism. It's just an extension of the copyright wars. What can we withhold for money? If "information wants to be free", what is taking so long? Why don't we squash power grabs when we see them happening? Why don't we have the clout to do it or the will to try?
Sickening.
HOLY MACRO!
