Legal rights

I want to use one of the Soundtrack music beds in a show for broadcast...does anyone know what the copyright info is for doing that?
Thanks

Go right ahead!
Those beds are royalty free.
(Just another reason why SoundtrackPro is, in my humble opinion, the best piece of software for radio broadcast production on the market today...)

  • I have a legal right to a working version of CS2, old or not. My patience is thin.

    Very thin.

    Well, if you actually cared to provide proper technical information about your system and explain what the problem is instead of just ranting about, there is a slim chance you might already have something working...

  • The legal status of the fonts packaged with the trial version of CS5.5 after expiry

    Greetings,
    This is basically a question of conscience: I recently had the 30 day trial version of CS5.5, and was surprised to find that after the trial expired the fonts included in the demo package did not “self destruct” but continued to be available on my system. Does this mean that I can legitimately keep them on my computer (strictly for personal use)? The situation seems somewhat paradoxical – I can’t imagine Adobe simply giving these fonts away, yet I also can’t imagine them expecting people to hunt the fonts down and delete them independently once the trial period runs out. (Obviously they hope people will buy the full product, but unfortunately that proved not to be an option for me at the moment.) I didn't see anything about this in the initial terms and conditions when installing the trial package and cannot find any official stance on this in the documentation, so unless I missed something, it would seem that Adobe has no ground to ask people to manually remove the fonts in this situation. I would appreciate your advice.

    Adobe is not giving those fonts away.
    If you decide not to purchase a license to an Adobe product after installing and using the trial, you have no legal right to use the font after the trial period is over.
    Yes, the removal of those fonts was not accounted for but that doesn't change their legal status.
    Unfortunately, there are two problems associated with killing the ability to use the fonts after the trial period is over:
    (1)     We don't automatically uninstall the software after the trial period is over. We simply don't let you run it via the activation mechanism which blocks the execution. However, fonts are not involved in the activation mechanism (at least not currently) and as such, when the trial is over, the fonts are still installed and accessible by other programs. We would need to get the fonts into the activation mechanism somehow to be able to control their use when either a trial is over or the software is otherwise uninstalled!
    (2)     Currently, the Adobe fonts are installed into the system fonts directory. We would need to be careful to keep track of whether the user already had licenses to such fonts prior to installing a trial of Adobe software and not mucking with their status afterwards.

  • Can I legally sell my CS3 Production Premium Academic?

    I recently purchased an academic version of Adobe CS3 Production Premium (full, not an upgrade). It has been nothing but a nightmare and I am extremely unhappy with every aspect of the product. I have deactivated it and was forced to reformat my hard drive (low level)and reinstall Windows (per recommendation of Adobe tech support) because it completely borked my TCP/IP settings somehow and caused massive registry errors, and according to Adobe, leaves markers in the MBR that relate to the Flexnet licensing and Windows operation.
    I has been well over 30 days and the vendor I purchased from stated quite clearly that I am no longer entitled to a refund, only a courtesy exchange. Since I will never use CS3 ever again, an exchange is not helpful to me.
    I have already registered the software, but now have deactivated and have no trace of Adobe software of any kind on my computer. What are the legal rights concerning selling the software package, in its entirety, through channels such as ebay? If it is legal to do so, what steps must I take to ensure that the purchaser can register and use the program without my registration conflicting?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark Terry

    >been said, when it's constructed entirely of sweeping >generalisations with
    >no reference to facts.
    I'm not writing a scientific paper for peer-based review. I'm simply giving my opinion of the software and why I am desperate to sell it to recoup my losses.
    I have already written in these forums time and time again with numerous CS3 related problems, as have hundreds of others who had similar problems with crashing software, botched installs, and endless headaches related to Flexnet licensing.
    On top of that, in the brief period of time that CS3 did work, I found Photoshop CS3 to be less responsive than CS2 (or even 7!), and the interfaces for After Effects, Encore, and Premiere had horrible "jiggly" UI elements that would shift around with terrible redraw issues.
    As an experienced computer user, my first instinct is to examine my system and reserve judgment on the software. However, after diagnostics my system was seen to be behaving normally. It's a 2.66GHz dual core system with 2GB ram and dual 8800 GTS 512 video cards, all the latest stable drivers and performs exceedingly well with all the other software I routinely utilize. Only Adobe CS3 was having this trouble; at first.
    After the numerous steps taken to deactivate, reactivate, (so many deactivations and reactivations that Adobe had to "reset" my limit twice) uninstall and reinstall, running the cs3clean utility along with the Microsoft cleanup utility my entire TCP/IP subsystem became corrupted as well as numerous registry entries. Soon my system was taking upwards of eight minutes to boot up and I had no network functionality at all.
    The fact that I was knowledgeable enough to rectify the situation doesn't diminish the fact the CS3 cost me not just hours, but weeks of hassle with its problems (causing such systemwide havoc as to render my syste unusable for any work at all). Only after all traces of Adobe software were entirely removed did my system regain normal functionality. This required a ow level format, according to Adobe, since they write licensing information to your MBR, to prevent people from using multiple copies of software in various boot sessions.
    It seems evident (to me) that the crux of the problem is the Flexnet licensing system. It is so blunt and clumsy that the slightest problem renders everything useless. I understand Adobe's need to prevent unauthorized use, but if that means punishing the legal and the loyal, and furthermore, when it interferes with the functionality and dependability of the software, then I have to say that I will not use the software.
    Whether or not the root of the problem is Flexnet, or Adobe, or my system, the bottom line is that the software simply does not do what it was intended to do.
    For now I am relying on other software, which, to varying degrees, gets the job done. Of course, I'm left with a copy of CS3 gathering dust on my shelf. The box is quite heavy though, I coud use it as a doorstop and make beer coasters of the DVDs.

  • Legal use of music on webpage?

    I've searched the Discussions related to iWeb, but although I found many good ideas about how to embed a piece of music on a webpage, I am lacking some critical information.
    It is not clear to me whether or not I can legally post a piece of music on my webpage to automatically play when someone views the page. It appears to me that even if it is music that I own, that does not give me the legal right to play it on a webpage as it appears that the music file can be saved on someone else's computer easily by right-clicking on the webpage element. At that point, then it may be seen as "illegally providing" music to someone else in violation of copyright (and Digital Milennium Copyright Act).
    If anyone can point me to some better sources on what legally can or cannot be done with music and webpages, I'd be most appreciative.
    Please, I just want advice on the correct and legal use of music on webpages. I am not interested in workarounds. Thanks.

    if it is music that I own, that does not give me the legal right to play it on a webpage
    You do not own the music. You own a license which allows you to listen to the music. You can not provide music you do not own copyright for (you did not write, perform, and record yourself) without expressed written permission from the copyright holder.
    Need someone to point you to some better sources? Google is the best resource. _Google copyright music website_

  • Is it legal to refuse my request to see my last two bills?

    I am incredibly frustrated with Verizon Wireless and I do not know how to proceed.  I moved from the United States to Europe last month, and I cancelled our family cell phone plan which consisted of two phones.  My wife moved first, and her phone was the primary account.  When her line was cancelled, I was no longer able to login to our Verizon account.  I moved a month later, and now I am both unable to login or create an online Verizon account.  Verizon charged me the termination fee (which is fine), and proceeded to charge my bank account through online payments even though I am entirely unable to manage my online payments.  Furthermore, Verizon refuses to allow to me to see the bills for the last two months.  I can not sign online to view them; Verizon will not e-mail the bills to me; Verizon refuses to send the bills to my address in Europe.  I was told I have two ways to see the bills: go to a Verizon Corporate Office (there are none in Europe!), or they will mail bills to an address in the U.S.  Finally, I gave them an address of a friend in the U.S. who agreed to scan the documents for me.  That was two weeks ago and they still have not received the bills.  It has been over two months now.  I explained in detail I need copies of the bills, which is my legal right, for reimbursement of the termination fees due to my move.  Will someone please explain to me how it is legal for Verizon to refuse to allow me to manage my online account, and refuse to give me copies of my last two bills? 

    Thank you all for having an interest in this issue.  I think it is very important, and I appreciate your time and consideration!
    I contacted Verizon well before I terminated my service, which was very helpful for two reasons: 1) the person on the phone explained the reason for the early termination fee which admittedly took a while for me to understand, and 2) I was able to end my contract on the day I wanted.  So, rschnoor, this comment:
    If it was pro-rated, the OP may not have cared. If the OP had known beforehand and timed the cancellation differently, then it also may not have been a problem.
    was both wrong and right in that I did not care.
    My primary complaint is that the online account which is used for managing everything - receiving copies of bills, auto bill pay, looking at historical phone records - is cancelled at the moment the phone line is terminated not at the moment business with Verizon officially ends.
    I disagree with rschnoor 's comment:
    This is merely semantics. You no longer have a MyVerizon account. The access wasn't terminated, the MyVerizon account was. Before you had an online MyVerizon account, Verizon had an account for you. Now that your MyVerizon account has been terminated, Verizon STILL has an account for you.
    It is not semantics.  It is an issue of access.  As long as there remains business between Verizon and myself, Verizon should provide the courtesy of allowing me access to the documents describing our relationship through access to the MyVerizon account.  It is simply a matter of delaying termination of access to MyVerizon to the date that the final transaction is completed.  This is could be as little as thirty days.
    Further compounding my frustration is that I was on the phone for quite some time with Verizon to understand what early termination due to an overseas move would mean.  Although the cancellation of MyVerizon account was likely mentioned buried somewhere in the terms and conditions, they should have at least provided the courtesy of informing me that the online account would be closed at the date the phone is cancelled.  I could have made arrangements then to receive my final bill, print any of my historical bills, and otherwise managed my affairs.
    Thank you Catbird9 for your interest as well!  I agree with you:
    However, I think you have a point in that you should be allowed to approve payment of the final bill before it is made. It seems unreasonable that they will not even e-mail you the bill. In hindsight, maybe you could have cancelled the auto-pay before closing the account?

  • Is it legal to copy a layout/theme?

    Our company currently pays a 3rd party to create InDesign documents for us. We are considering hiring somebody full time for this. However, we have a layout and theme that we would like to keep. Can somebody own legal rights to the theme or layout of an InDesign document?

    John Hawkinson wrote:
    If you paid a company, or if the person you paid can be construed as an independent contractor or freelancer and not an employee, then it is not a Work for Hire and they probably own it.
    It also probably depends on where you come from.  In little ol' N.Z. we've never heard of the term "Work for Hire".  If you pay someone to create something it's yours, just like if you pay them to create a logo it's yours.  A template or theme would be no different.  In fact a "theme" is part of your branding, if someone else has any copyright over that whatsoever your company has made a blunder.  Imagine (far fetched though it may be) that the agency that created any blue chip companies branding could then go and flog that off to their competitor...

  • Palm Desk Top 6.2, a step backwards?

    I use the Palm desktop considerably for my work schedule. I just got a new laptop which came with Vista. I downloaded the latest Palm desktop (6.2.2) and while the program works I am very disappointed that some of the features of the old version are no longer there. It is definitely a down grade. What I am specifically missing is the ability to change color for different categories so I can see at a glance the type of appointment in my schedule. This was very useful to me and was available in the older version I was using on my XP laptop. Does any one know if the latest version will be upgraded back to the level of customization of the old version?
    Post relates to:

    This version of Palm Desktop (and Hotsync) are from Access (the company that acquired PalmSource). Palm does not own these applications and may not have legal rights to modiify them any longer.
    Access provided the absolute minimum and did not include any enhancements that Palm made to prior versions of these applications when Palm and PalmSource had better working relations.
    Access is currently primarily interested in getting their competing operating system to market.

    (b) For Your Shared Content that’s Made Available in a public forum or shared privately with other Users of your choosing, you grant other Users a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferrable, and sublicensable license to display, distribute, perform, and reproduce Your Content, subject to Section 10 of these Terms. If you join or participate in a group that allows for sharing of Your Content within the group (such as a “group album”), then you also grant the Users within the group a license to adapt and modify Your Content that you have decided to share with such group. If you do not want to grant other Users these rights, then don’t share Your Content with other Users.
    (c) For Your Content that is shared privately with other Users of your choosing, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferrable, and sublicensable, license to distribute, modify, publish, reproduce, translate, and use Your Content for the purpose of operating and improving the Services and enabling your use of the Services. You may revoke this license and terminate Adobe’s rights at any time by removing Your Content from the Service; provided that you agree that Adobe may retain and use copies of Your Content for archival or “backup” purposes and pursuant to Section 15 (Investigations).
    (d) You may also grant Adobe specific or different license pursuant to the Additional Terms.
    9.6 You acknowledge that the Services are automated (e.g., Your Content is uploaded using software tools) and that Adobe personnel will not access, view, or listen to any of Your Content, except as reasonably necessary to perform the Services, including but not limited to the following: (a) respond to support requests; (b) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; (c) as deemed necessary or advisable by Adobe in good faith to conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; or (d) enforce these Terms, including investigation of potential violations hereof, as further described in Section 15 (Investigations).
    9.7 You acknowledge and agree that although Adobe endeavors to provide security measures to protect Your Content (including Your Shared Content that you shared privately), Adobe is not liable for any damages resulting for the disclosure of Your Content.
    10. Shared Content.
    10.1 License to Shared Content. Adobe grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to distribute, display, download, perform, and reproduce the Shared Content, subject to the restrictions stated in this Section 10. With respect to Shared Content Made Available in a group allowing for content sharing, Adobe also grants you the license to adapt and modify such Shared Content. The license granted in this Section 10.1 is further limited to your personal, internal, and non-commercial purpose only.
    10.2 It is your sole responsibility to determine what limitations, if any, are placed on your Shared Content. Adobe cannot and does not monitor or control what others do with the Shared Content, nor can Adobe prevent them from adding to, modifying, or adapting the Shared Content.
    10.3 You agree that Adobe has no liability of any kind should other Users use, modify, destroy, corrupt, copy, or distribute your Shared Content in violation of the limitations that you may impose on its use.
    10.4 Shared Content may include personal information (such as email addresses) to facilitate your ability to share Your Content. It is your sole responsibility for any and all personal information that you or other Users used and submitted in connection with the Services. You shall comply with all data protection and privacy laws and rules applicable to the personal information of other Users.
    10.5 The Services may allow you to comment on Shared Contents. Comments are not anonymous and may be viewed by other Users. Your comments may be deleted by you, other Users, or Adobe.
    10.6 If you are invited by a user of the Service to participate in shared digital content editing or viewing, and you do not wish to receive email from such User or do not wish to participate, you are required to contact the person who invited you to update, correct, or delete the information they provided about you.
    10.7 In general, even though we might delete an account you hold with us in these types of shared editing or viewing areas, we may continue to retain information regarding your past actions with respect to content reviews or sharing initiated by others.
    10.8 Upon removal of Your Content from the Service or upon making your Shared Content no longer shared, Adobe shall have a reasonable time to cease use, distribution, and/or display of Your Content. However, you acknowledge and agree that Adobe shall have the right but not the obligation to keep archived or “backup” copies of Your Content or use Your Content pursuant to Section 15 (Investigations).
    11. Use of Software.
    11.1 Software made available via the Services or through third-party marketplaces or stores is governed by the terms of the applicable Additional Terms or the license agreement referenced in the Software. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the license agreement provided with such Software, then the license agreement shall take precedence in relation to that Software. If the Software is a pre-release version, then you are not permitted to use or otherwise rely on the Software for any commercial or production purposes, notwithstanding anything to the contrary included within an accompanying license agreement.
    11.2 Adobe may provide mobile and tablet applications through third parties that interact with the Service and Adobe products. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to access mobile and tablet applications and you are responsible for all applicable taxes and fees incurred while accessing such applications (such as fees from your mobile carrier, overage charges, etc.)
    11.3 If no license agreement accompanies the Software that is available for download, the download and use of such Software will be governed by the terms of this Section 11.3. Adobe grants you a personal, worldwide, revocable, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, nonexclusive license to use the Software in the manner permitted by the Terms. For clarification, you shall not distribute, lease, rent, sell, or sublicense the Software. You agree that you will not decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, decompiling the Software is permitted to the extent the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located give you the right to do so to obtain information necessary to render the Software interoperable with other software, provided, however, that you must first request the information from Adobe and Adobe may, in its discretion, either provide such information to you or impose reasonable conditions, including reasonable fees, on use of the Software to ensure that Adobe’s Intellectual Property Rights in the Software are protected. You may not assign (or grant a sublicense of) your rights to use the Software, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Software, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software. For clarity, your use of the Software is also subject to the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 13 and 14 below and your compliance with the export control provisions of Section 22.
    11.4 The Software may automatically download and install updates from Adobe. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new Software modules, and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Adobe to deliver these to you with or without your knowledge) as part of your use of the Services.
    12. Your Warranty, Indemnification Obligation, and Waiver.
    12.1 You represent and warrant that: (a) you own the Intellectual Property Rights, or have obtained all necessary license(s) and permission(s), to use Your Content in keeping with your use in connection with the Services or as otherwise permitted by the Terms; (b) you have the rights necessary to grant the license and sublicenses described in the Terms; (c) you have received consent from any and all persons depicted in Your Content to use Your Content as set forth in the Terms, including distribution, public display, public performance, and reproduction of Your Content; and (d) Your Content does not violate or infringe any intellectual property right or other proprietary right, including right of publicity or privacy, of any person, company or entity, or other third party.

    12.3 You acknowledge and agree that by accessing or using the Services or Materials, you may be exposed to Materials (including Shared Group Content) from others that you may consider offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, and agree to accept that risk.

  • Script to download source packages

    Hi there,
    I've made a Bash script "getsrc.sh" which download easily and quickly source packages from AUR or ABS (dependencies : yaourt and makepkg). The idea is just to do in one command, something we usually do in several commands (I use yaourt -G, then makepkg -o). Example :
    /home/ehmicky $ getsrc gnome-terminal
    /tmp/gnome-terminal/src/gnome-terminal-3.2.1 $ ls
    aclocal.m4 AUTHORS ChangeLog ChangeLog.pre-2-23 ChangeLog.README config.guess
    config.h.in config.sub configure configure.ac COPYING depcomp
    gnome-doc-utils.make gnome-terminal.desktop.in.in HACKING help install-sh ltmain.sh
    Makefile.am Makefile.in missing mkinstalldirs NEWS omf.make
    po README src xmldocs.make
    It's just a Bash script you need to source in your ~/.bashrc if you want to use :
    source /path/to/getsrc.sh
    I didn't package it cause I'm new to Archlinux and still uncomfortable with the packaging procedure right now.
    I'm really not sure this might be useful for anyone (it might probably be useless indeed). I guess there are already alternatives doing just the same thign, but since while googling for it, I didn't bump into them, I thought I could post this script just in case.
    Do getsrc -h for usage.
    Here is the script file :

    # GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    # Version 3, 29 June 2007
    # Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
    # Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    # of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    # Preamble
    # The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
    # software and other kinds of works.
    # The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
    # to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
    # the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
    # share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
    # software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
    # GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
    # any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
    # your programs, too.
    # When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    # price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    # have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    # them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
    # want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
    # free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
    # To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
    # these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
    # certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
    # you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
    # For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    # gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
    # freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
    # or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
    # know their rights.
    # Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
    # (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
    # giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
    # For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
    # that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
    # authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
    # changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
    # authors of previous versions.
    # Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
    # modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
    # can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
    # protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
    # pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
    # use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
    # have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
    # products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
    # stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
    # of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
    # Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
    # States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
    # software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
    # avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
    # make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
    # patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
    # The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

    # TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    # 0. Definitions.
    # "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
    # "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
    # works, such as semiconductor masks.
    # "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    # License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
    # "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
    # To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
    # in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
    # exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
    # earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
    # A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
    # on the Program.
    # To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
    # permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    # infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
    # computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
    # distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
    # public, and in some countries other activities as well.
    # To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    # parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
    # a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
    # An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
    # to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
    # feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
    # tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
    # extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
    # work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
    # the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
    # menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
    # 1. Source Code.
    # The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
    # for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
    # form of a work.
    # A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
    # standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    # interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
    # is widely used among developers working in that language.
    # The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
    # than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
    # packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
    # Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
    # Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
    # implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
    # "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
    # (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
    # (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
    # produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
    # The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
    # the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
    # work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
    # control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
    # System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
    # programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
    # which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
    # includes interface definition files associated with source files for
    # the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
    # linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
    # such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
    # subprograms and other parts of the work.
    # The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
    # can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
    # Source.
    # The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
    # same work.
    # 2. Basic Permissions.
    # All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
    # copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
    # conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
    # permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
    # covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
    # content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
    # rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
    # You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
    # convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
    # in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
    # of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
    # with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
    # the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
    # not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
    # for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
    # and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
    # your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
    # Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
    # the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
    # makes it unnecessary.
    # 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
    # No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
    # measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
    # 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
    # similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
    # measures.
    # When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
    # circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
    # is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
    # the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
    # modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
    # users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
    # technological measures.
    # 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
    # You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
    # receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
    # appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
    # keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
    # non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
    # keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
    # recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
    # You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
    # and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
    # 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
    # You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
    # produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
    # terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    # a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
    # it, and giving a relevant date.
    # b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
    # released under this License and any conditions added under section
    # 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
    # "keep intact all notices".
    # c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
    # License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
    # License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
    # additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
    # regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
    # permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
    # invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
    # d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
    # Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
    # interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
    # work need not make them do so.
    # A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
    # works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
    # and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
    # in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
    # "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
    # used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
    # beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
    # in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
    # parts of the aggregate.
    # 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
    # You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
    # of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
    # machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
    # in one of these ways:
    # a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    # (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
    # Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
    # customarily used for software interchange.
    # b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    # (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
    # written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
    # long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
    # model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
    # copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
    # product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
    # medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
    # more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
    # conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
    # Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
    # c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
    # written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
    # alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
    # only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
    # with subsection 6b.
    # d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
    # place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
    # Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
    # further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
    # Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
    # copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
    # may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
    # that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
    # clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
    # Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
    # Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
    # available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
    # e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
    # you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
    # Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
    # charge under subsection 6d.
    # A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
    # from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
    # included in conveying the object code work.
    # A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
    # tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
    # or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
    # into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
    # doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
    # product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
    # typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
    # of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
    # actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
    # is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
    # commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
    # the only significant mode of use of the product.
    # "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
    # procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
    # and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
    # a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
    # suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
    # code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
    # modification has been made.
    # If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
    # specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
    # part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
    # User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
    # fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
    # Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
    # by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
    # if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
    # modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
    # been installed in ROM).
    # The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
    # requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
    # for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
    # the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
    # network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
    # adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
    # protocols for communication across the network.
    # Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
    # in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
    # documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
    # source code form), and must require no special password or key for
    # unpacking, reading or copying.
    # 7. Additional Terms.
    # "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
    # License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
    # Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
    # be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
    # that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
    # apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
    # under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
    # this License without regard to the additional permissions.
    # When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
    # remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
    # it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
    # removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
    # additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
    # for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
    # Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
    # add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
    # that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
    # a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
    # terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
    # b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
    # author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
    # Notices displayed by works containing it; or
    # c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
    # requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
    # reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
    # d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
    # authors of the material; or
    # e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
    # trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
    # f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
    # material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
    # it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
    # any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
    # those licensors and authors.
    # All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
    # restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
    # received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
    # governed by this License along with a term that is a further
    # restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
    # a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
    # License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
    # of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
    # not survive such relicensing or conveying.
    # If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
    # must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
    # additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
    # where to find the applicable terms.
    # Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
    # form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
    # the above requirements apply either way.
    # 8. Termination.
    # You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
    # provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
    # modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
    # this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
    # paragraph of section 11).
    # However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
    # license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
    # provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
    # finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
    # holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
    # prior to 60 days after the cessation.
    # Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
    # reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
    # violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
    # received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
    # copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
    # your receipt of the notice.
    # Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
    # licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
    # this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
    # reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
    # material under section 10.
    # 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
    # You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
    # run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
    # occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
    # to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
    # nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
    # modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
    # not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
    # covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
    # 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
    # Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
    # receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
    # propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
    # for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
    # An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
    # organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
    # organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
    # work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
    # transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
    # licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
    # give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
    # Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
    # the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
    # You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
    # rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
    # not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
    # rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
    # (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
    # any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
    # sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
    # 11. Patents.
    # A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
    # License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
    # work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
    # A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
    # owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
    # hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
    # by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
    # but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
    # consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
    # purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
    # patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
    # this License.
    # Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
    # patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
    # make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
    # propagate the contents of its contributor version.
    # In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
    # agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
    # (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
    # sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
    # party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
    # patent against the party.
    # If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
    # and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
    # to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
    # publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
    # then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
    # available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
    # patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
    # consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
    # license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
    # actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
    # covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
    # in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
    # country that you have reason to believe are valid.
    # If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
    # arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
    # covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
    # receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
    # or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
    # you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
    # work and works based on it.
    # A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
    # the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
    # conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
    # specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
    # work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
    # in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
    # to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
    # the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
    # parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
    # patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
    # conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
    # for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
    # contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
    # or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
    # Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
    # any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
    # otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
    # 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
    # If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    # otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    # excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
    # covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    # License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
    # not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
    # to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
    # the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
    # License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
    # 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
    # Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
    # permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
    # under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
    # combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
    # License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
    # but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
    # section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
    # combination as such.
    # 14. Revised Versions of this License.
    # The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
    # the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
    # be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
    # address new problems or concerns.
    # Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
    # Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
    # Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
    # option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
    # version or of any later version published by the Free Software
    # Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
    # GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
    # by the Free Software Foundation.
    # If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
    # versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
    # public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
    # to choose that version for the Program.
    # Later license versions may give you additional or different
    # permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
    # author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
    # later version.
    # 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
    # THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
    # APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
    # HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
    # OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
    # THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
    # PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
    # IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
    # ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
    # 16. Limitation of Liability.
    # IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
    # WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
    # THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
    # GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
    # USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
    # DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
    # PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
    # EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
    # SUCH DAMAGES.
    # 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
    # If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
    # above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
    # reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
    # an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the

  • I bought my friend's old ipod, she wants some songs back but they won't show up on iTunes. How do i get them back?

    My friend upgraded to a touch and in turn gave me her old classic. She put a whole bunch of music on there from different cd's but after seeing what she still had on it she realized she lost some of those songs on her computer. I tried to get them off with the transfering puchased music, but they won't come off! She bought this music fair in square and would like to have them back. How in the world do i get them back to her?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    As the songs came from her computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in her regular backup copy of her computer.
    You need to restore the ipod, erasing all of the music as you have no legal right to it.

  • Copyright question on older VHS tapes

    Hey all,
    My friend has some guitar instructional comercial VHS tapes he purchased in the 1990's. He has asked me to transfer them to DVD for him, as these tapes are not available on DVD.
    These tapes have the usual warning at the begining stating:
    "federal law prohibits any unauthorized reproduction, distribution or exhibition of copyrighted motion pictures and video tapes. (Title 17, United States Code, Sections 501 and 506)"
    He has lawfully purchased these tapes and only wants to make DVD copies as back up for his personal use. He or anyone else will not be viewing both the original VHS tape and the DVD copy at the same time. He will not be selling them or distributing them in any way.
    My queston is:
    Is the above scenario allowed?
    Thanks,

    Hey Mark - sorry for being unclear, but then, whenever you talk about copyright, there's bound to be muddy waters. :)
    My position is only that if you are copying/duplicating/rearranging or otherwise using material that you did not specifically get the copyright holder's permission to use, then you need to find a legal reason to do so. Fair use is the only provision for this, and those usages are actually very clearly outlined.
    What you are talking about - copying your personal copy of a specific work for private use - only holds up when the duplicate is either used exclusively or is being kept as a backup. Not written into law yet, but held up by court precedent, is the more recent usage in mp3 players, home computers, car stereos...basically, copying your songs from a legally purchased disc to multiple locations held in your own private use. Again, this is not part of the law, but legal precedent has determined that it's OK.
    I wouldn't worry about what you are doing, since it is simply an attempt to maintain integrity of a licensed copy of a particular work, and the intent seems to be clear that you are going to be destroying the original (the VHS cassette).
    As concerns people having rights to copyrighted material....just remember that the law is clear about your rights ending where another person's begin. When a person owns a copyright, your usage - unless otherwise stated - is only limited to the copies you have purchased. To exceed your usage according to the terms of your license agreement or other legal provisions (fair use) would infringe upon the copyright holder's legal rights....and that, of course, is where your rights will end.
    And yeah, let's all remember that Steve Jobs is just like all of us....he is a regular human being, and he has opinions. When someone uses words like "should" or "I think" or "we ought to"....opinion is present, and opinion is not a good foundation for legal defense. I guarantee his lawyers just sorta twiddle their thumbs, whistling and rocking on their feet everytime Steve Jobs says something like that in public. Of course, in Steve Jobs case, if the quote is correct, he claims that we "need to have the right..." which, of course, means that we do not currently have the right.
    Music on your menus....well, again, putting it on your own DVDs and watching it with your wife and kids at your house would definitely pass the courts. However, if you take it over to Grandma's house, or burn a copy for someone else in your family, you broke the law. You are then creating a public viewing or deliberately duplicating a resynchronized track for the use of a non-license-holding entity.
    In all these cases, be aware that you will almost never ever ever catch the eye of the law for these uses, fair or not. Even if you did, it would cost more money to sue you than could be reclaimed. The big boys are looking to make money, and unless they thought they'd make more money in the long run by making an example of you in court, they won't bother. They are very frustrated by all of this, because we keep finding more and more fair uses and setting more precedents in our favor. I'm not now nor would I ever condone or justify the illegal use of copyrighted materials. Only stating the obvious here....you will probably never get sued for it.
    If you are happy with the odds and ready to accept the risks, then make your decision. Hope some of this was helpful!

  • Is there a way to get date and time in JAVA without using sysdate and time.

    Hi Everybody,
    There is a requirement in my Application. The requirement is I need to instal an application and it need to expire after certain period (say 1 year).
    And after that it should become useless for anyone enjoying the benefits of that. I need to know how to calculate the timeline for calculating expiry date.
    <ul><li>&Oslash; We can't rely on system date, since user can modify that.</li>
    <li>&Oslash; We also can't use counter because for that system should execute in 24x7.</li>
    <li>&Oslash; Also there is no internet connection to fetch the current date from the global server.</li>
    </ul>
    So if anyone has any idea to accomplish post your suggestions to me.

    I strongly suggest you take legal advice before implementing such a feature. The purchaser, or licensee, of such software has reasonable expectations and legal rights which are unlikely to be met by a brute-force scheme like that. You don't want to end up in court ...This exact situation happened at my previous employer--although it didn't go to court.
    We contracted out to a 3rd party vendor to write a library for us. It was delivered in stages and paid for in stages. After we received the last delivery, but before we'd made the final payment, we had our first full-system demo for our first client/partner. Shortly before the demo was to begin, we brought the system up, and it immediately crashed. We saw a "This software is expired" type message in the log. While it's not uncommon for software to have an expiration date, our big issues with it were 1) there was nothing of the sort written into the contract, and 2) The expiration was a hardcoded "if date > whatever, System.exit" as soon as the class was even loaded.. It would've been different if trying to actually use the class caused an exception, but killing the JVM just for loading the class was not cool.
    I decompiled the class, found the offending code, commented it out, recompiled, and we were off. In the meantime, our VP of R&D called the vendor to deliver a new jar file, which they did quite quickly. So, a) it was inconvenient but not difficult for me to get around the technical "solution," and b) that was as stop-gap measure--we still paid them for the software.

  • Multiple users and multiple ipods, - one computer  PLEASE HELP!!

    I have 1 computer, three users with three different ipods. I want my two daughters to be able to share the music and movies I buy on their own ipods. That's possible and legal, right?
    It has always worked in the past and now I am getting a message when I try to sync daughters ipods that says "this computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on ipod "RB's ipod". Then basically authorize this or you 42 items that were purchased will be removed.
    Then I do the authorization. Then it says, this computer is already authorized, 1 computer out of 5 computers authorized. But then it asks me to authorize it again with same "this computer is no longer authorized..." warning. And it will not sync her ipod until I authorize it.
    I finally did "don't authorize" just to sync her new songs and it erased all her old movies and songs. They are still in the library but won't sync anymore.
    PS...I've never had a different account or different computer and it always has worked in the past.
    Anyone have an trouble shooting tips?? THANKS!!

    Thanks, Diane. I did try report a problem twice and never heard from anyone. Meanwhile I have deauthorized computer, quit itunes, rebooted and opened itunes and reauthorized. No help. Also have read many other posts and nothing in them worked.
    What do you think about this - Go to control panel and uninstall iTunes and any other things with "Apple" in them (including Quicktime).
    Then go back to the apple site and re-install iTunes. See if that works.
    Just not sure how to open Control Panel to unistall itunes. I do think this might be due to upgrading to itunes 9.2.
    (Then once I solve this, need to solve fact that during all this, I chose don't authorize on my daughters computer, lost a lot of her music and her ipod froze as well. Reset, restore, nothing is working to get her ipod back)
    Thanks for your help!
