    implying they've done something rather bizarre and irrational.

    really, you think its bizarre and irrational to not want to give away the key to your copy protection, some of which works quite well? One recent disc would not yield to any crack but would still play perfectly in the dvd player.

    what are the implications of allowing schools to copy and how would it happen?
    do they give em software which allows a work around?
    do they issue them with un copy protected versions?
    I can see the immediate flaw in both of those ideas.

    on top of that I can't really see a reason to copy a dvd for teaching purposes other than maybe to show selected excerpts to film students but that's what scene selection on a dvd is for isn't it.

    crack.....

    please think of the children and all that.
    in the age of $10 - $20 retail dvds what's the necessity to copy them?

    The "copy stuff" thing is more applicable to tv broadcasts and in the olden days duplicating expensive and difficult to manage 16 mm films. It's hardly applicable anymore. As much as I dig righteous indignation I don't see what the need to copy is about.

    Educational institution buy text books, surely this is the same thing or is this about referencing excerpts?

    Still, I'm sure there will be developments in the world of copyright

    there will be indeed Giovanni.
    like this one,

    Brett Cottle is the Chief Executive of APRA|AMCOS. From the mid to late ‘90s Brett featured prominently on the board of CISAC (International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers); and in 2007 he was appointed Chairman Board of Directors of CISAC. Brett is also a Director of the Australian Copyright Council and a past member of the Copyright Law Review Committee. In June, Brett will chair the 2nd CISAC World Copyright Summit in Washington DC, where critical policy issues will be debated among the international copyright bodies.

    Recent debates around copyright legislation in New Zealand have highlighted the importance of content in today’s digital age. These issues are crucial to you, our members and to APRA's operation. In this informal forum we want to discuss our position on future copyright frameworks in NZ and the development of an APRA Charter. We will also have the opportunity to discuss current member issues and any queries you have. It is important for us to hear your feedback on these issues - we hope you can join us.

    Now I'm so not a cynic........ or maybe I am, but that seems like a prime opportunity to infiltrate and disrupt. some should really get onto finding the location of those meetings and getting on to it.

    there was also some independent interpretation of those Norwegian stats floating around. I'll someone else grab those and post em.

    All yours as far as I'm concerned.

    what's with the grand exits on this thread. Is this a master class in "I'm leaving"?

    all I'm saying is, 93 pages. that's not that far from 100 is it?

    aren't nine inch nails and radiohead just exploiting a different scarcity model. ie the scarcity of promotion via free. when that becomes abundant then there will become no point of difference to their approach and the 'scarcity' effect will wear off.

    but I wouldn't ask her about astrophysics.

    but you would ask her about opera, live performance, how she derives her income from her craft, the laws that relate to her craft and how they affect her, how technology has impacted on her, etc etc.

    Islander isn't commenting on astrophysics.she's commenting on the direct field of her experience.
    in this thread you're closer to the person commenting on astrophysics.
    you're ideas and concepts are valid to be considered but you're not you ain't the proven expert...... yet.
