"discretion" isn't actually called for in the statute.

The only real "discretion" that should come into play here is the due process imposed by a court (which also unfortunately is not called for in the statute).
This was a fun little project that started from a co-worker wanting to see random imgur files. I've just started playing with jQuery and JavaScript and this is the result so far.

Imgur uses 5 chars alphanumerical ids as the image names, and doesn't care if you use .jpg, .png, etc, etc. So I wrote a small backend that generates and spits out an array of keys to check. The JavaScript hides the image tag, and sets it, another function verifies that it's a real image (imgur sends 200s, and an image that tells you an image doesn't exist, so I check that the height and width match). If it does, then display the image, if not, try the next. When the array is about to run out, I fill it again. I also keep a small cache of the keys that it determined weren't valid (based on jQuery passing back to me the list of failed keys) to try to up the odds of getting an image quicker.

An unmini'ed version of the JavaScript is at http://image-roulette.com/static/js/image-roulette.js

Any feedback would be awesome =)

In my opinion, that's completely besides the point. It doesn't matter if people wouldn't have bought it anyway. Just because we wouldn't have bought it anyway doesn't give us a right to download it. That's ridiculous.

The issue with digital content versus physical content is that there is no cost of replication, whereas with physical goods the cost of replication goes beyond the initial R&D, it goes into the actual materials, machinery and labour to produce it. I believe this is where the "it's okay to pirate content" comes from -- because theres no 'money lost'.

In the early days of automotive manufacturing, Ford was a monopoly. That's just tech - it takes a long time to reach technological parity with someone who has a 10 year head start. Microsoft and Yahoo have now almost caught Google, and will claw back some customers. Apple and GNU/Linux and the BSD crowd have more or less caught up with Microsoft (thanks to everything important now being on the web). In another 10 years time, perhaps people will buy a computer (slash TV) based on fashion and price, not OS features.
Exactly, and this IMO is the problem with /any/ new service that aims to do this. It's a known problem. Solutions have been tried before. I wish this company the best of luck, but I don't have high hopes for this getting popular.

For most users, "your own hard drive" is a terrrible solution. They do not have a VPS that they use as a file intermediary (they don't even know what a VPS is), and they don't know how to keep backups, and if they did the backups would probably be corrupted or out of date.

This is the miracle of web hosted software for most users. It's also what makes Dropbox so special.

A guy trying to fight for the right to the domain name equivalent of his artist stage name.

It's just simply a call for help since he doesn't seem to know how to figure things out and he doesn't want to pay anyone to help him.

And it doesn't seem like he's tried to contact the owners of the domain. Which he can do here: http://rapmusik.net/?tmp=domain_inquiry_form
I'm still not sure I believe anyone has a right to a domain name, regardless of who's name it uses.

However, I put myself in his shoes and I can see how it would be frustrating at best. This is a remnant of the 'time before the Internet' and will eventually be solved when it becomes impossible to have created a name before the Internet existed. How can we best serve these cases without harming smart domain entrepreneurs in the future?
I wondered if it was just a misunderstanding by the OP but it's the same language on JSTOR's site:

>> "Register & Read Beta is a new, experimental program to offer free, read-online access to individual scholars..."

I dont think it's too geeky to point out that the use of "read-online access" indicates a poor understanding of digital tech and rights management and the web in general. Reminds me of the article posted the other day about how the no-fly list might be circumventable with a DOM editor.
To all those downvoting...perhaps one of you could offer a counterpoint. Surely there aren't this many people being scammed out of good coin buying fake Levis?
By all means, give it a world. It does take some work and time to learn just like anything else, but if you're willing to exert effort, you'll eventually learn it (if that is your goal). I stand by what I said though, folks on HN are not your target audience. Even if they can give candid advice, most are not equipped too. You'll certainly have better luck with a more targeted audience.
That's exactly what they are going to do. They know that the outcry won't duplicate itself over numerous iterations, and they'll slip it by when people turn away for a moment.
UFC 142 Aldo vs Mendes Live Streaming
After making waves in Brazil, Aldo migrated to the WEC and immediately began wrecking the place. He tore through his first four WEC bouts with deadly striking and decided to cap it off by earning a title shot with an unbelievable eight second knockout of Cub Swanson at WEC 41. Believe it or not, the time of the knockout was the least impressive part of it. Aldo flew through the air and connected on poor Cub's chin with not one but two flying knees at once and finished the stunned Swanson off with quick ground and pound.

Ha-ha. Let's take Google's current approach to DMCA for instance. You are a small guy. A big guy sends a completely baseless DMCA complain. Google takes down the URL. Well, that’s the policy blah-blah; everything is according DMCA. You send a contra-down notice. According to DMCA you don’t need to explain anything. However Google sends you an email (I’m quoting) “We would like to help you, but we require more information. Please provide additional details clarifying the reason for your reinstatement request.” That put you in an awkward position. Since the initial take-down notice was completely baseless – you simply has nothing to provide.
So this time Google doesn’t react with the same speed. Their email reads “We have received your DMCA counter notification dated XX/XX/XXXX. As described in 17 U.S.C. 512(g), we will forward the counter notification to the complainant. If we do not receive notice that the complainant has brought a court action within 10 to 14 days, we will reinstate the material in question.” As you can see – immediate respond just disappeared. Google wants to wait 10-14 days despite of direct and explicit SOPA text that allows (requires actually) reinstatement of the content. Just read it. Google is going to keep your content banned based on a started court action(!) - not the court verdict.
Well, you might think it works both ways. If that’s the case – try to send a semi-baseless complain about a big guy page. Somehow it will not work the same way.

That's what happens right now. And that's Google. no-shmno evel - but Google does try to be neutral. That's as much as they could go.

And now SOPA/PIPA is about to create the situation when the same will happen with entire websites. Heh…

This guy has built a replica Cray-1a. He wants to run original (real) software, but is having trouble getting his machine to boot.

(I have no connection to him. I saw this on hack-a-day. I think the replica is awesome. And I really like people who keep obsolete software running.)
"makes it hard for me to get (and compare) their prices, they are too high"

Agree and have found that to be true in general as well. And any solicitation that doesn't mention price is usually to be able to convince you of the value of which you would initially reject off the top as "to expensive". The other reason is to get you to commit to something and therefore be less likely to pull out of a transaction.

Along those lines (hidden pricing) it is a good idea to not assume everyone knows why a service is free and why a user isn't being charged for it.
On the other end of the bell curve of course is a price that is advertised and seems to cheap. This normally means there is something hidden or extra that you will encounter.

The perhaps even stranger part is that there exists a public domain variant of the happy birthday song. The song was modified and it is this version that Warner owns the copyright to (and the one that we sing).

Indian govt sanctions prosecution of Google,Facebook over objectionable material
Is this really something worth fighting for at this stage in his music career, especially if he's having to pay lawyers? There would be far more value in him cultivating a social media presence (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Last.fm, MySpace, Vimeo, etc) than worrying about getting his coveted dot-com.

Having the perfect domain name just doesn't really matter that much for brand building any more, especially for "personalities". Musicians engage fans through Twitter, Facebook, whatever, and if you're stuck with mcfrontalotmusic.com or officialmcfrontalot.com or mcfrontalot.tv or mcfrontalot.dj... don't worry about it. Be consistent, build the fan base, link to your official site often and let the search engines figure it out. When he gets the big record deal, let the record company lawyers jump after the perfect domain.
Not stating price allows you to get in the ring with a customer and then later convince them of the value of what you are selling. But depending on the actual service or deal there could be slimey reasons no question about it.

Some pretty nasty spammy stuff in there. For example a result from the Google index that randomly redirects users to another domain, perhaps in violation of the guidelines.

to

If a company makes it hard to get their prices, they probably are too high for you - because you're not the target market. They're likely targeting large businesses that expect to negotiate and get some kind of discount. It works out well for everyone because that software probably wasn't something you were going to use anyway.

First of all, you haven't really defined a decent amount of traffic. Where are you bottlenecking? database? bandwidth? cpu?

I agree with dangrossman that going from one shared host to another isn't going to go well most likely. Of course, that depends on the bottleneck. I've got a shared host running SSDs, if my bottleneck was disk i/o it might work on that while failing on shared hosts using something slower.

If you really are pushing a lot of traffic and having trouble with shared hosting though, it's time to upgrade. VPS/Dedicated/Cloud are the options I would be looking at. Also possibly a CDN depending on what the bottleneck is of course.

I don't think a free market solution would work - airports will cut costs until there's a disaster.

Except this is how airport security was ran before 9/11.

9/11 didn't happen because costs were cut. 9/11 happened because the attackers worked the problem, discovered gaps, exploited them.

Gaps that the government, who set the standards and rules for security, had no idea were there.

Recall that in August, 2011 'everyone' knew that hijackers would jack the plane, hold hostages, make demands.
