Yes, it is fair use, and that's why he's probably not gonna be prosecuted. But fired, hell yeah the Company will surely and rightfully fire him!

Don't take me wrong. I believe Copyrights and patents are not real property. This has really nothing to do with the legality of downloading and watching The Origins Movie, but with company policy and the internal, private penalties you incur, such as getting fired.

It's like some McDonald's manager praising the Whopper....

It's not like it's 1995 anymore....

Nah, me too. It was about time someone would come out with an ARM netbook.

Reminds me of the stories about Andrew Galambos. He was nuts about IP, at the point of changing his name because it was the same as his father's.

He's been rightfully forgotten, but if anyone wants to take a peek at how brain-dead this whole IP thing is, here's a famous essay by Harry Browne.

It's called people doing what they want with their own bodies. No one has the right to *get them* to work.

There, fixed it for you.
