I didn't know he had a beard. I don't like beards.

I agree totally with Jupiter and others
kurttrail is a troll of the worst kind and I have filtered him out
other people need to do the same.
Or stop responding to his comments
He seeks attention why give it to him?

You as well as others that accuse Kurt of being a troll are just wrong, Kurt
is not a troll and does not fit any definition of the actions a troll is
defined by. Plus calling Kurt a troll is about the equiIivent of saying his
mother wears army boots, Would you be concerned if you called yourself a
troll? LOL
He is disruptive, annoying, thought provoking, opinionated, perverse, rude,
might have a beard, [denies he hates]but hates Bush, has a warped sense of
humor and in my unsubstantiated opinion is going through a midlife crisis or
a rare case of male menopause. But he is not a Troll.

I use legal precedents to back up my interpretation of "fair use." And
it doesn't matter that you or anybody else disagrees with it. It is the
copyright owner that has to disagree with it, and get a court to agree
with them, before my interpretation of "fair use" is considered legally
invalid.

No, it's just your opinion, and following your opinion could get people
into trouble if MS were to challenge it in court. Sure, if MS never
challenges it in court, then people can continue to pirate personal use
copies of the MS products, but, that doesn't make it legal.

Any your explanations are only your opinion of what you think you've read.
Others read the same material and still don't agree, so it's still just an
opinion.


Define (the) "Others" who read the same material.

One reads studies, and makes that decision for themselves. If you take a
red-letter Bible, and extract all the words attributed to him, the you can
see his teachings as a whole, and distinguish what is consistent with his
main message, and that which is totally out of character.


Mine too, along with Martin Luther King Jr. Another man with flaws.

BTW, what do you think Jesus, MLK, and Gandhi would think of the Windows
EULA? *-)!

I come to the newsgroups to try to learn something but instead like in
threads like this get not what I came here for.
What I see is a lot of smartassed comments that are completely off
topic and a pissing match to see who can post the most verbose
discourse of utter nonsense.
Yes I have filtered out Kurt's comments but I did so to cut down on
the lengthy threads. I do get to read all the replies from everyone
else
I have been coming to the newsgroups for years to help myself and
others when I can.
You make too many assumptions.

It's too bad that you don't decipher what is a smart-assed comment, and real
dialogue.The reason i said what I did to you was your respone to kurt (or to
anyone that tries to make a valid point) as him being a troll, was simly a
sycophantic reply on your part by my observation. I say this considering how
the term troll is used as someone who name calls or flames, but you
certainly didn't apply that to the ones (attempting to) disputing kurt's
post, by calling him names, just like a troll does.

No, it is a fact, as of right now. What don't you understand about
that? That is not my opinion, it is a FACT. It is the way Copyright
Law works. And you have yet to show ONE
thing that disputes this fact. All you have is your lame reply that it
is just an opinion. Be a man, and prove it.

But alas you are not a man, and cannot do anything other than rely on
meaningless contradiction.

I love it!
and following your opinion could get
people into trouble if MS were to challenge it in court.

MS hasn't in over a dozen years. What makes you think they would after
all this time? MS lack of due diligence would be held against them.
Sure, if MS
never challenges it in court, then people can continue to pirate
personal use copies of the MS products, but, that doesn't make it
legal.

Prove it is piracy. But you can't. No one has ever been charge, let
alone proven to have pirated software, following my interpretation of
"fair use."

FUD and meaningless contradiction is all you have. Sounds like a troll
to me. ;-)

I have a beard, but I shave it off on rare occasions.
[denies he hates]but hates Bush,

I don't hate Bush. I think he hypocrite to his beliefs, has surrounded
himself with some people who are basically anti-individual rights, and
anti-democratic, (not the party) and is basically too stupid and lazy to
be worthy of sitting in the most powerful office in the world. But I
don't hate him.
has a
warped sense of humor
LOL!

Naw. I had my mid-life crisis in my mid thirties, I really don't want
to live much past my sixties, and live too long with a deteriating body
and mind.

I don't like shaving. I have very sensitive skin, and I'm not a

As someone nearing 60, I suggest you may change your mind about that in a
few years. Or, as my father who will turn 80 this year said, "back when I
thought 65 was old".

Yeah, I may just change my opinion as I come closer to my sixties,
however, I'd rather go out quickly, than the slow lingering death of my
grandparents.

LOL, just another in avoiding answering things straight up! By "Others" who
are they, quote them, as you make it seem that there is a plethora of
"others"?

But anyhow, your copout that I have a comprehension problem, is just another
in the "plethora" of examples you have given, on how you avoid answering and
addressing real questions and issues, by making claims about "one's
opinion", or are you going to say that this is just "my opinion"?

I can support my interpretation with quotes links and legal precedent.
All you have is your own FUD and meaningless contradiction.

Show one quote with a link, that shows that the individual must sue the
copyright owner in order to validify their interpretation of "fair use"
first.

This is your challenge, put up, and show you are a man, or come back
with a meaningless contradiction yet again and show everyone that you
are just a blathering idiot.

You won't be able to, since it would be a lie. It is the copyright
owner that must sue and win in order to legally invalidate someone
else's interpretation of "fair use." That is the facts on how "fair
use" works, and it is not my opinion, if it were, than you would be able
to contradict me with a hell of a lot more than just saying it just my
opinion.

Show me one link that indicates a case that shows the your interpretation
of the EULA allows anyone to do as they wish for private use - I've not
seen one case that directly addresses it. And don't repost your same old
drivel, it doesn't make your case any more than your interpretation of
what you are posting.
