Software copyrights are comparable, as only those “creative” (non-functional) elements have copyright protection, yet everything is mixed together into an inseparable soup. I envision the same circumstance with human-tweaked AI expressions.
And by you, I mean the city of Eugene should show that they made appropriate consideration of their plan, including economics, energy delivery, forecasts of the market, etc.
The biggest consideration first is whether or not they can legally make such legal mandates to begin with. They are restricting an already regulated market. Can they do so legally?
If a single nickel of public money was used in any way in support of MSG, there’s your problem. You cannot restrict access to a (even slightly) public venue.
Developers miss a very important point about software. Not all components of software are copyrightable. If someone lifts your sort routine, they have not violated your copyright.
Copyright applies only to creative expressions. Purely functional expressions are not subject to copyright.
Now if a search engine can generate code to do something mundane, how creative were all the original expressions the search engine indexed? If the expression is commonly used in many applications, I’m betting it’s purely functional in nature.
The argument doesn’t even need to mention “Fair Use”.
Biometrics are simply the state of an object (i.e. person). It's not testimony. An object's state is evidence.
That said, biometrics are a terrible authenticator. Who wants a password they can't change?
You know how on the cop shows, the cool chick computer tech always has instant access to every bit of information they want on someone? There’s the answer!
I can’t wait to spring this on the next person who brings it up.
How can the state regulate how seemingly public data is used? So if I generate a hash of a web page to facilitate a legitimate business use, that could be regulated? What am I missing here? Apart from copyright issues, how can any use of public data be illegal?
Remember the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" dude? Was not on school grounds, was 18 years old, had his punishment DOUBLED when he protested, and his punishment was UPHELD by no other than SCOTUS!
Fun fact: BH4J dude got a settlement from the state of Alaska, as his punishment violated the Alaska Constitution.
Tim is not going to offend me. But I can't pass along links to others that might be. Limiting your audience may not be the best way to promote your point.
But I get your comment. It is what it is.
Tim, do you really need to use profanity for these articles? I’m not a (fucking!) prude, but it seems so unnecessary.
Momma always said, if your not smart enough to express yourself without profanity, go right ahead, but others will know you are not smart enough to express yourself without profanity.
I'm not going to argue whether or not the warrant was good. That's something else.
But so what if he was a suspect? So they tag him and question him. Even the evidence they got would indicate he just rode by, didn't stop.
If they were doing there job correctly, they could eliminate him as a suspect without even questioning him. Maybe they had a list of many could-be-suspects. Being investigated because you happen to be in the area when a crime is committed is not really an issue.
Compare this to software copyright

You first

Torrent?
See above.
What about public money for a venue?

The author’s legal analysis is weak

Not quite

Finally! The answer was so obvious!

OK, Mr. Judge, we’ll look that up and let you know
Let’s see, that account belongs to I. C. Weiner. (Oh, crud.)
I'm not sure the state has that power.
How can the state regulate how seemingly public data is used? So if I generate a hash of a web page to facilitate a legitimate business use, that could be regulated? What am I missing here? Apart from copyright issues, how can any use of public data be illegal?

I hope it continues because...
Discovery is going to be a hoot! So what's the damage they cause? I dunno, let's see source code!
Why not?
If the BATF can do it, why not the USPO?
Fair use?
Work for hire!
So what?
