Whose has copyright over comments ?

“the contemporary intent of copyright is to promote the creation of new works by giving authors control of and profit from them.”

The creation of an artistic work brings about the rights which are inherit to copyright law. Any artistic work (refer to the statutory definition) includes written works. Comments are written and therefore those rights are passed to the author. There is no agreement - explicit or implied - which allows you to gain exclusive ownership over comments because their is no relationship which provides you automatic ownership by mere occasion.

I think its more an issue of the anonymity on the internet and the fact that the only identifiable and tracable piece of evidence which can confer copyright ownership in a dispute is binary code and IP addresses.

Fk the video

Just release the hack or someone else will. Enough with the "video crap"

No one cares about videos, they just want the tool. It's been +3 days already and still you havent released anything.

Bring on yiPhone - at least George has a count down.

God I hope someone releases this tool before you do.

It's just painfull with all the "peace and love not war" shit

You've had months to run through beta after beta - at the very least you could release an unlock to keep all the haterz happy (aka me)

If your still fking around after today .... I hope someone else releases something.

peace out

Let's be honest. I don't even live in America (Australia) and I developed a book called the "faces of many books" way back in 1995, when I was 15. I basically got out a scrap book and cut pictures of faces out of magazines and pasted them into this book and then let my whole family comment about these people.

It is obvious that I am the inventor of facebook and im happy not to take any court action, but I do want to be named the founder of facebook since I worked hard and I should be called the founder.

P.S - Im not sure what fkwit Aaron Greenspan thinks he is but a "founder" is typically associated to a company. You become a 'founder' when you actually found the company associated with the idea. Refer to Wikipedia for clarification 'An entrepreneur (a loanword from french introduced and first defined by the Irish economist Richard Cantillon) is a person who undertakes and operates a new enterprise or venture and assumes some accountability for the inherent risks.' - how the fk is Aaron Greenspan the founder ? Someone please enlighten me.

Only one person has mentioned the word "games". Desktop Macs are non-existent in the gaming world - sure the fanboys will respond with "oh no they are growing" - but its bullshit. PC's will always rule the gaming world for hardcore performance and amazing graphical rendering - that is until:

1. Mac's stop being so ridiculously overpriced for hardware. Example - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA940G/B - $200 for this. What a joke. In fact do a search - you can easily pick it up for under $90.

2. Macs are great - I have one - but seriously, the monoply over hardware is their undoing. Business will never fully embrace macs because apple have such a huge stranglehold over customisation - if I want to customise and add more features, RAID structures and the like - I have to pay huge costs or simply turn to PC. Duh.

So why bring this up in a OS host? Well evidently, as gaming grows - so do reliance on Windows OS. There will always be a market for MS because of gaming - and the lack of support for other OS systems. Virtualisation is great - i am 100% in agreeance for this and I believe this will be more important than any browser.

The more fking browsers that enter the online world - the worse off we all are. Developers have to spend more and more and more time on compatibility issues and front end JS. It's becoming crazy the amount of testing thats required each time a new browser arrives or upgrades.

I love macs, but their fascist tendencies over their infrastructure is so ridiculous in this day and age its painful. Sure, the argument about "this is why they have no viruses" - but equally - most hackers hit windows because they a) have some hate of MS or b) because they are simply the most popular computer OS. As Macs grow, they will face this inevitable problem.
