Paranoid About Copyright Protections
922015
One of these items(PRS-505) was given to me as a gift. The device works as advertised and exhibits the typical benefits of using an e-book reader. For example, you will have faster access to a title without the need to find time to visit the store, and you can carry several books without carrying the weight. The entire e-book community is slowly moving toward common formats.

On the down side, the customer support is horrible. Sony is paranoid (or is under pressure) about stolen-content and/or copyright protections. You will need an account with the Sony bookstore but also an account with Adobe(dot)com. When I changed e-mail addresses, customer-support was completely confused and unable to merge accounts. I had to call back several times over several days. **Several titles are no longer viewable and display "Computer not Authorized". The third person I talked to over 5 days asked for direct-access to my machine! Sony has not finished sorting-out how to interact with Adobe(dot)com when customer service is needed.

bummer, because I was really enjoying the device and the convenient access to a title without having to find time to search local stores. However, the titles available from the sony-store is rather limited. They have mostly Romance and other mass-market fiction.

Thankfully we can still find some stuff that is not "Censured for my protection". I appreciate the warnings if I choose to head them, that is great to have, but I am a big boy now and I can choose for myself thank you.

It's my written work that I love, but it was not copyrighted as I assumed it would've been and that very much displeased me.

the persons selling this tape on this site do not own the legal rights to my audio tape. For a CD version, which is not pirtated and being illegally sold.. come to JBMichaels.com .. the author of the book.

This is another of my designs that this person has STOLEN in violation of copyright law.

He does not have permission to use my designs. I've never given anyone else permission to use my designs.

First off, I'm ok when a developer uses some form of DRM. I am, however, completely against the practice of using DRM when it's invasive to the customer and they don't even mention it for their product. I should not have to put in a disc everytime I want to play your game - period. I should not have to go to lengths to find "no dvd cracks" as well.

Bottom line, I will not buy anymore software from 2k games due to their DRM. If you ever happen to release a product I want, I will from now on get it through other means where your DRM will not negatively affect me as a paying customer. Your use of DRM has just caused another person to head over to "the bay."

I've bought this artist's work for years and it is unique.  Support the true artist, not this fraud!

Thanks for mentioning it is "protected".  I bought a protected CD once and could not rip it onto my computer (MP3 is the future and I use a MP3 player). Too bad it had to happen to this band.  I won't buy it.

I returned this CD once because it wouldn't play on my computer. Though I don't intend to copy it I will look for some way to break the annoying and stupid copy-protection scheme because most of the time I listen to music while sitting at my computer.

Copyright and fair use can be very confusing issues, particularly in education. Many educators over-estimate their protections and privileges under fair use. This book is an ideal resource to help educators determine how copyright and fair use impact them. It clearly describes, with specific examples, what educators can and can not do with copyrighted materials. We purchased copies of the book for all of our academic buildings on campus so that all students and faculty could have access to this valuable resource.

This so-called Enhanced CD has software that automatically installs into your computer. Apparently, this is to prevent illicit copying of the music. However, this is a great way to introduce security holes in your OS. It's tough to be an informed consumer when you're not given all the relevant information before you buy. The company I work for prohibits using such CDs in the company computers. So, I had to buy a separate CD player in order to listen to the music at work. This software is the kind of rudeness that's the antithesis of The Beat's music.

I always get steamed seeing somebody making money off of a boot that you can easily get for free. If you are making money off of the show, I suggest you pay the Marley estate their share, otherwise share it freely, 'cause it ain't copyrighted.

If you want it for free, just google "Bob Marley Quiet Knight flac".

I suggest that Amazon no longer carry this product.

It's free so it didn't cost me to find out, but look at the permissions it wants to be functional ! Who in their right mind would give ANYONE that much rights over their own computer? Without them, you can't use it. OK

Reviewers seem to be missing the point, which is to rate the Vendor of the product based on your experience with THEM.

You may not iLoks or the software developers who use them to prevent piracy, stay in business and GET PAID for their considerable efforts. If so direct your negative reviews to Pace, the maker of iLok, or to the plugin developers. The company you are rating here simply sells the product; and at a very good price.

I know that noone here would ever want their music stolen, how would you eat? I'll bet you're jelly because you can't but an iLok on your own band's digital downloads.

Stolen Image, copyright infringement, you don't own this, I do. It is registered with the Library of Congress, and now my attorney has this link. You must stop selling this image and remove it.

These folks have taken without rights - copyright violation the underlying work COCAINE FIENDS & REEFER MADNESS - which is NOT in public domain.  We - RONIN Publishing hold all rights given by the author - Michael Starks  . . . this is theft . .  taking form the rightful artists . . . without permission and without payment.
