No disagreement;

That said, what happens when one obtains media content from places like 'jamendo.com', 'nextflix.com', 'youtube.com', etc. that provides various vehicles to obtaining media? What happens if one is entering a country that is part of ACTA and provides a device for inspection and the inspecting party decides that the content on the device is illegal since a receipt can't be provided?

Appreciating that media content, piracy, and counterfeiting have been the center of attention fo many years, there are far greater implications than media content - as often heard, it is the tip of a very large iceberg.

This one is simple; according to the warnings, fine print, and license agreements with most media packaging (cd's, dvd', tapes, etc.), it is illegal to lend, sell, rent to another individual (video stores excluded), record for personal purposes, and playback for audience purposes any media content including software applications without express written consent.

And as one will rightly point-out, the "grey" areas are endless because ... tape recorders, vcr, pvr, and other recordable media/devicess are available to buy. If one paid for physical media, is one entitled to sell/trade it. What about the logistics around taxation after selling/trading an item. And on and on ...

... which brings me to my original observations - dangerous grounds.

Cheers,

But see here is where the culture of a nation comes into play. It is becoming acceptable to trade music openly. So perhaps it should be declared likewise across the nation, free and open sharing of media. I can only speak for music and movies though. You can pay to see a movie at a theater or pay to see a band in concert. But everything else might be accepted by culture to being free access. Russia does it.

Yes. Most of the people are so ignorant/innocent about the law. But, law does not accept the ignorance as a alibi.

It happened to me. My friends, ask me if I have a legal copy of the Windows!!! They don't understand when I tell them, if I share a legal copy of the software, that becomes illegal. They just can't understand the logic. They happily download the songs/movies.... For them, freely available is available for "free". God save them. :eek:

Good news:

European Parliament slams digital copyright treaty

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10467337-38.html

The European Parliament took aim Wednesday at a secret intellectual property treaty that has been criticized for possibly giving copyright holders more power to pull the plug on peer-to-peer users.

By a remarkable vote of 633 to 13, the Parliament rebuked European negotiators who have been drafting the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in a series of confidential meetings around the globe. No version of the document has been disclosed by the participants, which include the United States, the European Commission, Japan, and Canada.

Parliament's resolution demands that the European Commission--the EU's executive branch--grant "public access" to the ACTA documents. If the negotiations are not sufficiently transparent, the resolution says, Parliament "reserves its right" to take legal action.

This is in part a tussle between two arms of government, each intent on protecting its own sphere of influence, with Parliament saying that it never gave approval for the treaty-negotiation process to begin with.

Whatever the reason, the lopsided vote was welcomed by liberal advocacy groups that have been opposing ACTA with little success of far. Public Knowledge said afterward: "This process for too long has been driven by the wishes of the big media companies. The European Parliament vote is yet another reminder that ACTA, both in process and in substance, is fatally flawed."

In Washington, secrecy over the details of ACTA has enjoyed bipartisan support: First, the Bush administration said in 2008 that it could not disclose information because it agreed with its trade partners to keep it confidential.

Then, in March 2009, the Obama administration declared that ACTA drafts were classified for "national security" reasons; it subsequently published a limited summary confirming that portions dealt with border inspections, criminal penalties, and perhaps holding Internet service providers liable for infringing material.

One recent point of contention has been whether ACTA will include a "three strikes" rule that could involve cutting off broadband users with limited or no judicial oversight. A leaked European Union document (PDF) from last fall that the Obama administration's negotiators had suggested "termination of subscriptions" to Internet access in some circumstances.

A more recent leak in the last week of an ACTA working document provides some hints about each nation's negotiating position. The United States has taken probably the most expansive view of copyright, which includes pushing for a global version of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention rules, and suggesting broader language related to investigations.

The next closed-door ACTA meeting appears to be in New Zealand next month.

Very good points.

A recent investigation of the Motion Picture Association of America has revealed that they were lying about money lost due to piracy. It turns out that they are doing just fine and just complaining about a small drop off in revenue.

Plus, we have never truly teased out the fact that it might not be piracy leading to less income for artists, but perhaps that there is more music available not handed to us from record companies out there on the interwebz.
[Off-topic] chikoo:
The fact is that the record companies would not give a chance to those budding artists in the first place.

Ugh so stupid. Everyone is so interested in finding new ways to enforce ancient laws rather than write new ones that actually make sense in the digital world. Back in the 80s, I used to make mixed tapes for friends and family. Now that's pretty much illegal. WTF happened? Oh that's right: media companies sat on their ass changing nothing with the times. I feel better that even the MPAA is investing in changing their marketing strategies to go along with the times.

What can I do with the speed of Picsel ProViewer under HTC TD2?

I can read the PDF files with HTC Touch Pro perfectly (e.g. an 130 Mb magazine) and I cannot believe that the older PDA is faster and has larger memory than the Touch Diamond 2.

TD2 is „out of memory” and I cannot move the page quick just very slow.

My memory is basically on 50% and I don’t know why. There’s no running program. Suspect that this is the problem but how can I increase the Free memory? Can You give me any solution? Thanks a lot in advance..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Use TD2 Tools and set it for max free RAM.

Also try to disable Sense and see if it works.

Hey guys,

im wondering if anyone is able to write manilla tabs like i found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534185

A very nice and usefull tab would be a messenger tab in manilla like i want to demonstrate with a 5min picture to show what i talk about :)

Some kind of a instant messenger or multi messenger with icq, msn, yahoo, aol, maybe social network chats would be very nice.

there is already a pretty nice program for icq and some other protocols but it doesnt support manilla tabs :(

is it possible to have a high quality wallpaper on sense without installing HDwallpaper + patch?

I don't want to screw the taskbar and the bottombar and still want to have a high quality wallpaper on my htc.

is that possible

currently I'm using xannytech's evo 1.3 (6.5.3) which also has maxmanila cooked in and it has the new rhodium sense 2012 on it.

anyone can help?:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
To answer your question, no, its not possible.

However, with HDWall it is possible to do just the wallpaper and leave the slider, the taskbar, and the bottom menu bar all as they currently are.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] freedirk:
I had a play about with that HQ wallpaper thingy, but couldnt find out how to change just the wall paper. I will have to have another fiddle.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
You need to go into the config and untick the checkbox that says something about taskbar and menubar (sorry - I'm not running the app, just going off memory. It's something like that - you'll see it, I'm sure).

You can then save the config options you have so you don't have to do it again.

I obviously have the same taste as you, when it comes to this particular thing, because I hate the look of Sense with the top and bottom bars showing the wallpaper.

Once you get it, I

know

you're gonna love HDWall ;)

simple question. is there anyway to change the lock screen wallpaper on cyanogen mod.

probably the biggest thing i loved about hero roms was that the lock screen is so much better than the default android. Slide or menu to unlock and you could change the background.

Is there anyway to port this lock screen to cyanogen or at least just be able to change the wallpaper.

I know of the apps lock 2.0 and lockbot. Honestly i still like pressing menu to unlock, but i like being able to change the wallpaper. Lockbot is nice, but the hero one looks terrible and the app is still is incredibly buggy.

Hey guys,

like i already mentioned in "Windows Mobile Development and Hacking" Forum (link) im looking for a manilla instant messenger as a tab in TF3D. I really like this idea :D and i hope someone can develop it :rolleyes:

The idea is shown in a 5min picture (well it just shows my idea, it shouldnt be used as theme :p ):

I also post it here because i actually want it in a HD2 Edition :)

::: EDIT :::

-There would be many ways to realise this idea. It could be one tab for all protocols (multi messenger) or it could be one tab a protocol like one icq tab, one msn tab ... so everyone can install just the one he wants.

-A history would be usefull to see what you were talking about with the last person

-file transfer support

-open weblinks

-copy paste

-click on a contact and the screen in the tab slides to a conversation mode

if you have ideas just post them and i add it to the list. maybe it helps someone who wants to program it :)

Just go over to the XDA Atom ROM Development section, you can find 4 WM6.5 version there, and by :

1) Helloworld1

2) Glossyx1

3) Tabbe

4) Searchers

All 4 are pretty stable but depends on what your requirement is, so you need to check out their threads. Basically, everything in WM6.5 works except for bluetooth as we are not able to send files out. But there is a way out by using Persian Blue or Total Commander. Another issue with bluetooth is you can only add 2 bluetooth device, after that the add device functions gets corrupted. Added devices will still function as normal, just no more additional bluetooth device after that.

The latest one now is from Glossyx1 which is base on a new built as compare to the other 3. They are all good as long as you don't over stress your Atom, as you are aware our Atoms have limited ram resources as compare to newer devices which is what WM6.5 is meant for. I think all WM6.5 have Touchflo incorporated already.

Happy flashing....
