Happy Birthday Matt!

This is from all of us at dont copy that floppy, have a great day! Best Birthday Wishes from all of us!

“Last week we brought you the news that google must provide records of everyone’s youtube video-viewing habits to Viacom, per a legal ruling. As you’d probably expect, privacy advocates on the internet are up-in-arms. As you might not suspect, whether google will appeal the ruling isn’t certain.

“We are disappointed the court granted Viacom’s overreaching demand for viewing history,” Catherine Lacavera, Google’s senior litigation counsel, told The Boston Globe. “We will ask Viacom to respect users’ privacy and allow us to anonymize the logs before producing them under the court’s order.”

She said “before” producing the records. Not “if we produce the records.” Others on the internet are reporting that google has “promised” to appeal, as of yet, though, nothing has been filed.

Viacom says it will not use the records to invade any one’s privacy. They say they need the records to  prove that copyright infringing material on youtube is more frequently viewed than non-infringing material.

We think google should provide only printed copies of their massive databases to Viacom. It wouldn’t do any good, but it would be pretty funny to see the fleets of 18-wheelers hauling a bazillion sheets of paper that prove conclusively that some people like to watch The Family Guy on youtube. -Source : www.g4tv.com/thefeed“

This comferts me on one hand, but on the other hand we just opened a door for them, and we just keep opening it and keep opening it for anti piracy groups, Alot of bad could happen from this one court case thats all im saying. But heres my other problem with it they say they only want this info to “prove that copyright infringing material on youtube is more frequently viewed than non-infringing material” if thats so why dont they go by the views log instead of requesting logs on individual ips and users? i dont understand this, the problem i have with this is now they have the power to go after that guy that makes a sponge bob soulja boy amv, or somone who uploads a epsiode of drake in josh or any viacom material. This is gonna probley end up turing into a orgnaziton like the mpaa.

Camerons Pick

First off let me say this site is offensive, and the site has lots of cussing and is again offensive, thats why its my pick of the week, the website is called men are better than women.. ha, I kinda laughed at the domain when i first saw it on google adsense, then i started reading some of this guys blogs and i was like wth, Heres some of his titles just to show you what im talking about ” Why Women hate sex, Pets are not children, women would vote for hitler, and his first entry 10 reason why men our better”. This site is definatly out there, aperntly hes been on dr.phil and he has a book, the one thing that made this site truly intresting to me was the fact of what the women that read this site thought, alot of them agreed… WTH!!, and of course alot of the women hate him, I dont hate him, but i think his site is low and degrading, definatly worth reading some of his blogs thou, so thats why www.menarebetterthanwomen.com is my pick of the week.

ok this is a off week for me, and im back for a week posting news, i got a bunch of gear coming in on monday as well as 2 tuts next week, so ill be back for good soon, we need staff so if anyone is intrested hit matt or i up at any time, we treat our staff right here, free demonoid, christian torrents passes and many other cool things, we our starting the podcasts back up in august, and we our working on much more so right now would be the best time to join our staff

As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve been posting a lot of tutorials lately, and not much news. I’ve been trying to put out more original content than just a bunch of sourced stuff. I need some more tutorial ideas, so if you need help with anything at all, I’ll make a tutorial on it.

Cameron is at summer camp, and won’t be posting much, if at all. What this means is, I need a dedicated staff member for posting news. If you think you’re good for this position, just contact me (check the contact page for more information). Don’t hesitate, I just need some people and you’re likely to be picked.

Have a good day.
-Matt

Cheap shoppers, waiting for the next gen console trend to die down so you can get some sweet action at a low price (you know who you are). Right now might be your time, microsoft is fixing to have a price drop, but thats not even where im going with this, you can get a xbox 360 right now off ebay for under 160 with shipping, and really your thinking its used, its from ebay its gonna be crap, 80 percent of my gear and clothes come from ebay and they are like new or still have tags and factory plastic on them, so dont drown out the idea of ebay.

I just thought i would note this, Happy Buying

Apparently the mpaa cant come up with enough evidence to prove a copyright infringment so they have right to demand up to $150,000 in damages per illegally downloaded file, with out proof. There system is very in accurate, and they have sent out these lawsuits to dead people and grandmas, I bet this was a big surprise to them,To read more on this topic click the link below

You know who you are, still cranking from your g4 dual, or your G5 macpro, well thats nice and all but 10.6 doesn’t seem to be coming your way! Looks like its intel or the highway. Im a g4 user still so my days are limited as well.

“LogicielMac publishes a screenshot of the system requirements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard which was seeded to developers this week. The requirements list the following:

- An Intel Processor
- An internal, external, or shared DVD drive
- At least 512 MB of RAM
- Display connected to an Apple-supplied video card
- 9GB of disk space, or 12GB for developer tools

Developers received an early copy of Snow Leopard at WWDC this week. As this is an early developer version, requirements could change in the future, but the dropping of PowerPC support has been long rumored. MacRumors can independently verify that these are the current requirements for Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is the next major version of Mac OS X and is expected to ship in “about a year”. -Quoted From Http://www.macrumors.com

Now this is about a year away, stuff could change, but the days of power pc users are looking grim.
