Your legally allowed to format shift the movie you bought
IT fucking fair use.
but that doesn't change the fact that not one single character of the CODE had any portion of the copyright movie
The CODE was blocked for distribution, they didn't go after the users who USED it to bypass the encryption.
That anti circumvention argument is bullshit, it by definition takes away fair use rights.

you want an example of me making something without using other peoples work? no problem...I want to shoot a girl girl porn just for example...who or what is stopping me? ill get 2 girls and film...the law is clear on what you can and can not trade mark or patent...you can't patent a lesbian movie LOL as long as every frame and every pixel are MY OWN WORK there is SHIT that anybody can do about it...
now how hard is that? not very hard at all LOL...nobody is stopping me from creating PERIOD.

so you think it ok to steal someone else's idea as long as it not patented
I didn't say without operating in the legal area outside the scope of copyright law (which btw fair use also exists) i said without using other peoples work.
your example uses the idea (work) of the first guy who shot the lesbian scene.
Try again.

as for IBM show me where they made 20billion from linux because quote:"Operating systems comprised around $700m in revenues" and their support is NOT FREE and you pay upfront ...keep in mind support is not the same as operating system LOL
|
Microsoft bundles the cost of support into the purchase price of the disk, when you buy windows you also get (currently) 7 years worth of product updates thru windows update. In fact microsoft following gat rules list it as UNEARNED INCOME on their balance sheet until the term of support is done.
so yes support is part of the operating system in your case.
BTW you still haven't deducted all the NON OS shit from the Microsoft revenue so basically your a fucking lying scumbag here.

as for kickstarter alternatives there are none...I know because I spent days searching for a real alternative that people outside the USA can use because I have tons of ideas....the link you gave me shows 0 alternatives for non americans total...in fact the only 2 serious crowd funding sites seem to be kickstarter and indiegogo and only indiegogo accepts people form outside the USA and its much smaller than kickstarter.com

then your a moron
http://www.rockthepost.com/
http://peerbackers.com/
http://www.indiegogo.com/
http://kivendi.com/crowdfund/
http://www.getspringboarded.com/
and i found those in 20 minutes
there are also tons of niche crowdfunding solutions
and a couple open source scripts you can install yourself to setup the platform.
...
as to size who gives a fuck
the current crowd funding platform is not designed to get you backers, it just a framework that accepts money
your campaign is what get you the backer.
If your too stupid to understand that point then no wonder you can't get this model to work.
Your an idiot.
hell even a self rolled crowd funding script will work if you know how to setup a proper campaign.
BTW there are ways to get your project on kickstarter even though your not in the US.
especially if you want to do something that open source (another reason access to the groups that allow you access to kickstarter).
In fact i am in the process of setting one up for content that mirrors the open source/open hardware groups, including the tax deduction/charitable contribution status.
