It is called fear and consumption. The way to control; be it media or politics (what is the difference?).

You are only allowed to consume. Consume what we tell you, how we tell you, when we tell you. Or else! The world will come to s standstill and judgement day will be upon us. Do as I tell you when I tell you how I tell you.

But I read the claims and they are ludicrous. They basically state if you implement/use math in a specific manner, you are owned by us. And that is besides the obviousness to use floating point instead of integer/fixpoint (actually, integer and fixpoint approximations were created to overcome slow hardware). Once hardware is fast enough, you most often move to the more precise solution; there is nothing inventive about that, but a natural evolution.

Belgian rightsholders group wants to charge libraries for READING BOOKS TO KIDS->

Submitted by BSAtHome
BSAtHome writes "People with a healthy interest in fundamental freedoms and basic human rights have probably heard about SABAM, the Belgian collecting society for music royalties, which has become one of the global poster children for how outrageously out of touch with reality certain rightsholders groups appear to be....

Volunteers. Who – again – READ BOOKS TO KIDS."

From the TOS...

That basically states: /. can do whatever it likes with whatever you write, whether you like it or not.

In all essence, you lost all copyright control on a post when posting it on /. because you cannot control a "perpetual, irrevocable" license.

The whole paragraph is a basic rubber-stamp boiler-plate formulation that makes a mockery of copyright.

The best things in life go on sale sooner or later.
