AIMSTER uses DMCA "no RevEng" against RIAA
by Blank Frank 06 Mar '01

Excerpt: In addition, Aimster is attempting to shield itself behind the very law the entertainment industry has used to go after file-swapping company Napster. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a controversial law backed by music companies and other large copyright holders, prohibits anyone from cracking code designed to protect copyrights. Aimster, which incorporated an encryption scheme into a new version released Wednesday, hopes that provision applies to it as well. Aimster spokesman Johnny Deep said the new encryption plan was created to protect the service and its members from anyone who wants to monitor the network. "The encryption technology makes it a federal crime to spam or monitor the network," Deep said, adding that it could affect record companies. "We didn't do it to shut them out, but I don't think there will be any way to distinguish between" spammers and record labels. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/news.php3?id=03022001c

"don't even take human form" ???? Well I guess that rules out inflatable dates? Are you boinking (non-third mudball) aliens (not that there's anything wrong with that I guess) or am I a clueless sot with a level of imagination that could only be spotted with an electron microsocope? )) Not in the slightest, note that I said "both the above, *or ((perhaps* the ))reverse. I'm a goddess worshiper -- and some of the feminine spirits I ((commune ))and commingle with don't even take human form, let alone "beautiful, ((unclothed". 8-) I do like to nibble tho.

[consim-l] New TBS series "War Games" (fwd)

David Bolt TBS Superstation Offers Unprecedented Look at U.S. Military Combat Scenarios in WAR GAMES. Entertainment Editors NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com ATLANTA--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2000 Reality television takes an exciting turn when TBS Superstation presents the first-ever in-depth original entertainment production detailing authentic combat-readiness military exercises. WAR GAMES offers a rare, up-close look at military competitions including air-to-air dogfighting, submarine warfare, urban combat and "live fire" fighting exercises. This action-packed, two-hour original special, premiering in March 2001, is being produced with the full cooperation of the United States military. "The unprecedented access and cooperation that TBS Superstation's cameras have received from the U.S. military will take our viewers to the front lines of authentic combat exercises," said Jim Head, senior vice president of original programming for the Superstation. "WAR GAMES fits perfectly into our strategy of providing exciting, high-profile and provocative original programming that appeals to the Regular Guy and the people in his life. We are already looking at this special as a pilot for a potential series." WAR GAMES will present four different combat scenarios, with commentators reporting from each competition, as well as personal stories from the participating military troops. The following are descriptions of the four games scheduled to be included in TBS Superstation's WAR GAMES: RED FLAG After Vietnam, the United States Air Force created Red Flag, an air-to-air and air-to-ground military exercise designed to better train pilots for the high-stress, high-action situations they often confront in combat. In this scenario, pilots engage in a dogfight over the Nevada desert before diving into "enemy" territory in an attempt to bomb an airfield. WOLF HUNT Enemy submarines claimed 80 percent of the ships sunk in World War II--and the threat of subs is just as potent today. The United States Navy conducts critical anti-submarine warfare exercises off the coast of San Diego in this exercise, in which two helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft must locate and sink an enemy submarine before the submarine sinks our battleship. JRTC (Joint Readiness Training Center) Increasingly, military operations are conducted in cities and towns. Recognizing this, the United States Army built an entire mock town to train troops in urbanized warfare. In this realistic 11-day war game, U.S. forces must rescue a town and its residents from hostile forces, as soldiers are exposed to the hazards of urbanized warfare, including civilians and media on the field of battle. CAX (COMBINED ARMED EXERCISES) CAX features the United States Marine Corps in a three-day, locked and loaded, live-fire deployment involving thousands of Marines. In this exercise, Marines must first assault and occupy enemy territory, then defend it against a counter-assault in the California desert. Executive producers for War Games are J.J. Jamieson and John Barchilon. Mike Sears is directing and David Hudson is producing. WAR GAMES is produced by Grindstone Productions and Avenue Pictures Television. TBS Superstation is the TV Haven for the Regular Guy. Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.'s flagship entertainment network, the Superstation reaches 80.7 million households and is cable's most-watched network, a position it has held for 23 consecutive years. TBS Superstation offers high-profile original movies and series, blockbuster movies, popular series and sports, all reflecting the attitudes, tastes, values and beliefs of the Regular Guy and the people in his life.
