Just Don’t Bite

For those that don’t know what an API is, I suggest you learn them. They are a highly abused, highly used, and a great exploit on the internet. But stop and think for a moment. Read the EULA and the TOS. I feel they will hurt you in the end. After you read them, rape them, apply sexuality to them… I’m feeling that you will enjoy it since it feels so good. Feel free to abuse, molest, and rape them. I feel a great many will agree with that, if for different reasons than mine.

After all the EFF and FSF both of these ideas make sense (kill the SNR and have fun). But the MPAA and the RIAA do it to a MUCH greater extent. But those links won’t get pick’d up. Just like that Twain reference there.

If you read the last post you saw that the term that I liked was etymology. The history of words and how we got them. If only because some people like to think words are written in stone (get your own link of the Ten Commandments). Others like to think words are living (go look up the constitution and the arguments it has caused). People almost always take words that mean what they WANT. The more meanings, and history of a word you know… the better off you are. If the origins of the word fit the time frame of the meaning you want, USE IT. If that word fits the current meaning of the word, USE IT. Just make sure you know who will be reading it.

Ya wanna know the truth. I fell that any system can be manipulated. I think that Pablo Picasso was right: “Bad artists copy. Great artists steal.”

Just as I have done.

So we are clearly hear “I’m telling you the **AA will pollute or pay to pollute” so that they can have a market edge. False torrents, bogus feeds… oh and if your citibank account was hacked… REPORT IT. They don’t anwser federally unless it’s over a certain amount.

–Clarification’s–
This whole post was done because while looking at my logs I came across this site. The Stuff about Signal-Noise ratio has to do with a very long conversation I had during the day about exactly that and how to use it to your advantage as a method of hiding. It also has to do with why the words in that first paragraph are there, they are just noise to cover a signal. The signal being that if you don’t read your rights, you’re going to get screwed. The other SNR is how the RIAA/MPAA does this by paying groups like MediaSentry to seed/upload/share bogus copies of music/movies to hinder pirates finding the real thing. The Citibank thing is because someone I know had their account whacked. Generally speaking the effort to do that pays off much better if you do it in bulk, but the laws are set up to protect the companies more than the consumers unless the consumers speak up. If it still don’t make sense, join the club. I have trouble making sense of my thoughts all the time, at least I try to keep them someone coherent on here.
