Thats not a copyright thing. Copyright isnt preventing you from flashing the firmware, that would be perfectly legal and cant be stopped by copyright. In fact copyright law cant even stop you from reverse engineering the existing software and hacking it.
The EULA itself that you signed is what is stopping you. That isnt related to copyright in any meaningful way.
Im not sure i see any glaring problems with most copyright law personally.
Protection should be universal, it should not favor the weak or the strong. You should not be punished for being strong by having less protection
That aside, copyright just means that something I created cant be stolen, and yes that should exist beyond death. The fact that copyright doesnt protect Ideas themselves makes it totally fair to me.
Patents are the bigger issue for me as they protect ideas and that can be far more problematic.
Seeing as copyright doesnt protect ideas it seems perfectly rasonable you shouldnt have the right to steal my actual work. Like you can write a book with all my ideas in it but written from scratch and its not a copyright issue. You just cant steal my book and sell it directly.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Something I own is mine and not yours.
I usually assume he cut off his ear cause he had a ringing sound that was driving him mad.
what do you mean "reasonable copyright is unknown to date" you mean no one supports copyright law without being extremist?
If by that you mean people who support some sense of copyright law (though perhaps not in its current form).. and also assuming you dont mean patents... then hunt me, cause I do think copyright law is needed to function as a society.
I havent seen my girlfriend in a while, and its so damn hard to get her a visa.. We wanted to move in together for 6 months so we can see if we want to get more serious and consider marriage.. but the USA doesnt provide any sort of a boyfriend visa and they are damn near abusive in how hard it is for most foreigners to get in.... Fuck the USA.
@admitsWrongIfProven Two rules to cannabilism:
1) Make sure whoever you eat is evil
2) Cook them well!
@gpowerf Maybe not for the one doing the eating, but its an amazing meal for everyone else!
@admitsWrongIfProven Only after I cook it to disinfect it and kill putin in the process.
@Baley I despise the man.. he is one ego trip away from becoming hitler.
Man tools like graphviz, plantuml, mermaid, kroki, and similar text-based diagramming tools have such awesome potential... if only they fixed a handful of issues they might actually be usable on larger or more complex graphs... as it stands you waste most of your time trying to layout things "suggestively".
@freepeoplesfreepress Thank You :)
@freepeoplesfreepress The doctor called me cute!
@kaydenpat I am a "guns dont kill people" and ive never thought a book can make you gay... and even if i did I wouldnt think that was a bad thing.
