In April, Nesson hosted a conference at HLS, which included a select group of scholars, artists, engineers, lawyers and businesspeople. So what exactly are their suggestions for solving the piracy problem? Fisher offers a radical plan that would replace the copyright system with a government-administered compensation plan, funded by a tax on hardware and other systems used to play digital music. Downloading and copying would be legal, but artists and producers would still make money.
At its extremes, Total Control wants to build encryption into hardware that would refuse to run unrecognized or illegal programs. Indeed, the entertainment industry has even considered such extreme measures as creating viruses that would erase the hard drive of any computer that attempted illegal downloading. In the gap between those two extremes stands Speed Bumps. For that reason, it has gotten the most attention—and may also be the hardest to sell. Under his plan, it would no longer be illegal to copy digital entertainment without permission.
The owner or owners of a copyrighted work—including artists and producers—could choose to register the work with the U. Copyright Office, which would provide a unique file name. That said I am not a lawyer though I have spent 3years as a paralegal and did research this topic strongly durring such term. Though as has become quite evident to me no quantity of facts of law or reality can guarantee a guilty man be convicted nor the innocent go free.
There is a saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" Whoever is saying "The Nintendo page says it is so it is" is full of crap. As far as I know, as long as you own the cartridge you can get the rom. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group. Create a free Team What is Teams? Learn more.

This was migrated because it was asked just when a few posts that referenced this topic were deleted; so this question seems to be in the spirit of "why can't I ask or answer where to download ROMS?
Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. I'd like to add that the ONLY time that you can legally have a ROM is if it was 1 purposefully released into the public domain by the copyright owner, 2 was given or sold to you by the copyright owner, 3 has had its copyright expire 75 years after publication, i.
Thank you for answering my questions. The main point seems to be "avoid ROMs" so I think we'll leave it at that. BarrettJ that's 70 years after the author's death in most countries, otherwise you're spot on. It depends on jurisdiction, there are also countries in which it is either much longer or shorter. Emulators can be illegal too. Also, the nintendo legal page isn't amazing description of the relevant law; it's a little biased, but it's decent.
It's fully accurate though. And no, emulators, the parts of software that emulate something are never illegal. If the emulator contains copyrighted or otherwise illegal content the package will be illegal though. Even though it's an original work, it enables users to bypass copyright. That the hardware controlls access to the games. The ROM creation software would enable users to bypass copyright.

The entertainment and media industry has been taking serious hits regarding illegal downloading of music and videos throughout the past decade. Various websites have been nabbed for providing individuals tools for downloading movies that are currently still in theaters, for downloading album after album of popular, mainstream music.
Hermi, nothing to watch of late anyways.. Guess I'll just stick to the odd lan here and there. I'm in the same bout no 64bit support for peer guardian. Peer Guardian doesn't mask your IP address So if you think you're safe using that then you are mistaken about a great many things! A friend of mine worked for the copyright enforcement agency mob for Australia and she was responsible for going through the alleged dirty pirater's content HDDs, CDs, etc to find pirated media.
She said to just ignore the letters from the movie companies as just a stand over tactic, in addition the AFP and place she worked for were only interested in people downloading and selling in massive quantities and not the guy at home who got the latest episode of One Tree Hill. This was 4years ago, laws might've changed since.
Quality post trog, very insightful. Didnt Australia sign some kind of trade deal with america that included us adhering to US copyright laws? I got one of these from TPG once. So have a few of my mates. Nothing ever happened. I don't use Bittorrent any more though, so I haven't received anything else since. I have gotten one of these before from these Chinese students that were downloading stuff using my net connection while staying here. I even did what you did and replied saying I deleted it off my hard drive.
It's been about 6 years. I have full subscription to foxtel which has a recorder built in the box. I feel I'm exempt considering all the shows are played on there anyway. Good post Trog. Its all kinda silly really. I can record the show on my media center now legal , I can strip the adds from the recording its my data and I can watch it on any device I choose.
But if I grab the same show from a p2p source I'm doing something illegal. I am seriously thinking about investing in a seedbox just to take all the stress out of watching TV.
It's basically to do with the concept of time-shifting isn't it? Whereby you can record the show to watch once, with the ads still included in the show, and then delete it after that single viewing. What a stupid law then I notice a lot of the US cable shows are starting to embed the adds in the show via popups at the bottom of the screen etc. Why don't they all just do this and let us download whatever we like.
I notice a lot of the US cable shows are starting to embed the adds in the show via popups at the bottom of the screen etc This has interested me for a while, and I wonder what the legal implications are if they directly sell the ad space on illegal downloads say by quoting DL figures as part of the marketing spiel Actually I don't think you can legally strip out the adds, you can only watch it the once and then you must delete it, and the person who records it is the only person entitled to watch it.
You also are not allowed to format shift it. MTV have the worst ad. It's illegal to download TV off the net but it's perfectly legal for them to arse rape the content I'm paying for with ads all over the screen? With regards to replying to the email, I was under the impression that they had to ask you to stop a copyright infringement before they could prosecute anyway?
At least that's how I thought it worked if you hosted copyright material on a website. Which would mean that replying to the email wouldn't be incriminating if you are claiming that you have deleted the offending data.
