Comment Old ipod Shuffle cable... (Score 2) 663

Years ago i owned a 1GB iPod Shuffle... here in New Zealand it cost $75 (not too bad i thought).

Somehow the plug which goes into the audio plug on the Shuffle to charge it, broke... so i looked at replacement chargers... $60 from Apple (yes the player with charger was $75)

heres a picture of the charger if anyone isnt sure what i meant http://i.imgur.com/n8QEUwJ.jpg

Comment Re:Translation is a copyright owner's exclusive ri (Score 1) 344

I don't see how it's "entirely fan-made". Under current law, a translation of an audiovisual work's original script into another language is a derivative work.

At what point... lets take something famous... "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"... at what point does copyright kick in? Maybe the whole thing? part of it? maybe "Frankly my dear, I don't give a"? or maybe "Frankly my dear?" or how about "Frankly"? What about if i changed it to "Honestly my dear, I don't give a damn"

I dont have to pay to store data on my HDD's... (Strike Three)

Submission + - Kim Dotcom Wins Case Against NZ Police (stuff.co.nz)

Mistakill writes: It would seem the case against Kim Dotcom for the NZ Police isnt going well, with Kim Dotcom scoring another victory in his legal battles.


"Police have been told they must search everything they seized from Dotcom and hand back what is not relevant to the US extradition claims."

Justice Helen Winkelmann told police their complaints about the cost and time of the exercise were effectively their own fault for indiscriminately seizing material in the first place.
