There's that, and some big money at stake. Somebody is also probably up for re-election or out to make a big name for him/herself.I'm not sure how big the money is here. I think lots of the $$ thrown about in losses or exaggerated.
I suspect Jason was talking about the amount of 'contribution' money thrown around.
Those loss figures that get banded around are just silly. Read an article last week that investigated the origins and found that they weren't even about internet piracy, they were about counterfeit goods originally, and very, very old (fake rolexes, etc)
Yes contribution money - especially with that bottom feeder Harry.

They've been on about "piracy" for a very long time as a way to explain their dwindling profits. Way back in the 70s they were trying to get blank cassettes and video tapes banned, claiming they couldn't continue otherwise. They weren't banned and they did just fine.
The real problem is they're built in weird ways with too many hangers on demanding too much money. As a result, bands don't make much if anything from their record deals unless they're one of the top few bands and people in movies don't make much unless they're one of the few big stars.
I think most bands would prefer you "steal" their album and then come to a show or buy a shirt.
For example, lets say you have a band and you get signed to a contract. In the contract, you are given an advance of $100,000 and won't see any more money until that advance is paid off in record sales. First, you're not just paying off the $100,000, you're also paying for any promotion costs the label spends on you. Let's say that's another $100,000. Now you're $200,000 in the hole. Not a problem, right? At even only $10 an album, you only need to sell 20,000 cds to break even, right? Wrong.
In the contract, you only get $1 a sale. You need to sell 200,000 cds to break even. Most bands don't get there.
See this explanation by an actual, fairly successful band for a more detailed explanation[/url]

Oh this is fun...http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/sql-server/windows-8-refs-and-sql-server/
Quoting from a post that article references (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01/16/building-the-next-generation-file-system-for-windows-refs.aspx)
Q) What semantics or features of NTFS are no longer supported on ReFS?
The NTFS features we have chosen to not support in ReFS are: named streams, object IDs, short names, compression, file level encryption (EFS), user data transactions, sparse, hard-links, extended attributes, and quotas.
So no database snapshots and no online checkDB if running a database on the new Windows 8 file system (at least the way it currently appears)
And they're not supporting file-level encryption or compression? Really? I hope that's just a v0.1 thing. I know space is cheap and we have bitlocker, but still...
Since 2000 the databases I've dealt with have been required to deliver a service 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so there's no way any of those systems could imaginably allow the addithion of WITH TABLOCK to the DBCC CHECKDB commands that the automatically scheduled error detection jobs throw at them.
Throughout my career I've had to worry about users who just accumulate masses of junk and can't be bothered to tidy up; so I don't want a FS without a quota system, and since I have usually had to llive within a quota myself I want file level compression.
Since who I care about security, with different keys used to provide acco different sets of people, I would find it very irritating that file level encryption wasn't available, since it would mean rewriting hordes of applications to do their own encryption and decryption; probably need a new key management system too.
So I guess I wouldn't touch ReFS with a bargepole.

If that does come to pass (it'll be a few versions of windows away still), then restore backup and checkDB that will be the only remaining option for checkDB without disruption. I can see the people at Redgate (VirtualRestore) smiling already...

Blacked out as an anti-PIPA/SOPA protest?

Wikipedia's black-out is javascript based. I didn't realise it was "blacked-out" until a colleague informed me - I block all web-based scripts from running on my machine so it was working for me.
--edit--
Sorry, that seemed a bit random. It was in response to the "SOPA blackout" comment 😀

Yeah, I went there and couldn't figure out where the blackout was either.
