I'm considering trying to construct a pair of electric motor powered roller blades, as my commute to work is about to shorten to 2 miles, and I don't know how to figure out how powerful a motor I need. For example, I know how to calculate speed - for example if I use one of these motors...

I think you meant steam://install/33310 :)

No I'm not, I suggesting that it must occur before it can be classed as a criminal offense. Please do not paraphrase me inaccurately, that's worse than the "multi quote" method. I wasn't talking about the "law" when I said that, I was talking about your comparison to the way bit torrent...

50% is not "all but the last second", which is what I was refuting. I wouldn't test it because various legal systems, UK and USA included have a horrible ability to "interprett" the law in some rather twisted ways, depending on if the court "thinks" what you did was wrong. And no, I can't...

Technically under a strict reading of those rules, yes. I wouldn't test it myself mind you. More importantly though, your analogy is flawed (assuming your still talking about the upload side of bit torrent) as there is a difference between an MP3 of a song that has been recorded 1 second...

Sorry, but yes it does have to be the entire content. It specifically states (as you yourself quoted) "1 or more copies". I'm not being pedantic here, that is very clearly defined. A portion of somethnig can never represet "1 or more copies" and nor can multiple copies of the same "portion". The...

I picked out the only pertinent aspect - To clarify... Section A does not apply because there is no commercial or financial gain. Section B specifiacally states a value based on "1 or more copies". This is not "part thereof", so providing a partial upload would not meet these conditions...

Your right, how rude of me. I shall address this now. Interesting, I just re-read the section you referred to (http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#506) and I have to admit that I missed a rather important part of that. So actually downloading is not in itself a criminal offense...

Thanks Erestheux. In fairness, I'm not saying it doesn't have a harmful impact, I accept it does have a negative impact. What I'm saying is its not a one way street, but its treated like it is. Ty, I expect reasoned debate, which "I disagree, Moron" does not count as. I also expect not to be...

I am not playing the "quote by quote" debate game. It is used mostly for taking peoples words out of context to discredit them. No Limit - Fine, yes, I acknowledge, you are correct. If someone downloads specifically new releases, then it is possible to reach the "criminal" stage of downloading...

I'm sorry. My statement was entirely inaccurate, because every average downloader consumes... *quick maths*... 100 music albums, or 66 movies, or 33 games every 3 months. Of course thats assuming they restrict themselves to only new releases... Not to mention that to be prosecuted for this...

Its only terrible logic if I was saying "It justifies it", but as I have stated over and over and over again, I am not saying that. Please don't quote small parts of what I say and batter them for not making sense, when taken out of context. It demeans the whole debate. Limit. If your going...

I have said repeatedly, I am not trying to justify downloading, I have NEVER said it is morally justifieds. Everything I have said is aimed at making the following 2 points: Downloading it not a crime Downloading is not causing the downfall of music, and not everyone who downloads does nothing...

Jesus. Wrong. Distribution is not a criminal offence. I'm not going over this point again, because it is not a subject for dicussion, it is a fact. It. Is. Only. A. Criminal. Offence. If. You. Profit. Argue this point again and I will ignore it. Of course they do, don't be stupid. Anyway, I...

The legal aspect. It is a criminal offence only if the person sells the downloads onwards. If you don't believe me, try and find 1 example of anyone being successfully criminally prosecuted in either UK or USA case law where they weren't making a profit (You won't because its never happened)...

If you read my post, I don't have any illegal linkin park content. If you mean infringing content, I don't see how its relevant. This isn't a "money spent" comparison. And even if it was, say I had bought every album they have released, it would come to less than the £90 I spent on the...

Reading through this thread, I was going to post loads of counter points to stuff that's been said. Mostly that graph. Seriously, have you seen some of the counter intuitive crap the recording industry put out, depending on what argument they want to support? There are 2 points I want to...

More like he posted it all in caps and the all caps autopwn got it

Thanks guys I've been googling away, and the tourist board down there are putting my details out to the hotels to see if theres anyone that can cater to us (A nice free service they offer). Just wanted to see if there were any recommendations from first hand knowledge. Oh, and ComradeBadger. I...

I'm trying to organize a work trip down Bournemouth, and am looking at sleeping arrangements. What I'm after is cheep and cheerful accommodation for roughly 10 blokes and maybe a girlfriend or two. Key features here are cheap, and willing to accept a mostly male large booking (I know some...
