i can understand copyrighting the "i" but trying to copyright "face" and/or "book" is retarded.

yeah it is..but heyy if i was worth what 15 billion....i'd probably do the same thing

good point, i guess if you've got that kind of money to throw around you can waste it on trying stuff like that.

when you mentioned the ridiculous copyright i immediately thought of some gag article i read a long time ago when metallica was at war with napster about them copyrighting E minor. wish i could find it

What !

Ok the "i" think makes some sense. But face and "E" minor ...
Do people feel that copy protective ?

Or that dense.

>sol

 

[Rosemaryythyme]

I vote Dense!

Seriously..copyrighting stuff is an insanely long process and I'm really really happy they have digital codes you can embed in photos now.. I just wish there was a way to do unique codes..or maybe there is and I haven't found it yet?

Anyhoo....Thats my ramble for the moment

the "e" minor thing was a joke because people were pissed at metallica for going after napster

and now napster has been reduced to being owned by bestbuy...

life sucks sometimes

 

[CarnageSIS]

don't you love it when they do shit like that?

Oh yes, especially when they can barely manage legible e-mails anyways. ><

Yep. Like a Dyson....

i can't blame metallica for going after them. if i was in their position i think i'd have done the same thing. i guess i should qualify this by saying that metallica is by far my favorite band ever

 

[akaSol]

Welcome and welcome to Rose as well

{Waves at the "sys" file}

Thank you Carnage.

i was totally not blaming metallica..i mean it was bound to happen at some point by some band...

it just sucks that something that was so awesome and widley used has been reduced to being owned by bestbuy..you know?

and the creators have done what since??? not much..
(yeaaa i just saw the social network movie..and then did a whole buncha research )

 

[Rosemaryythyme]
