Ode to Kurtrail

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

There is a famous photographer named Kurt. He used to have a last name, but
due to his fame, he has long ceased using it. He is now known only as Kurt.



Kurt has spent years hiking up and down the Appalachian Trail, recording the
moods of the trail during all four seasons. His photographs are over
powering in their composition and beauty. Many of these photographs are on
display in art museums, banks corporate offices - any place that fine art is
admired. Kurt has been favorably compared with Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel
Adams, Minor White, Eugene Atget and many more. His place in antiquity has
been assured!



The starting price for one of Kurt's signed photographs is many tens of
thousands of dollars and are, obviously, available only to the rich.



Kurt has seen fit to have published a coffee table book containing twenty of
his most famous photographs. This book is sold in finer book stores for
$299.00.



I went to a book signing last week where I was able to approach Kurt,
purchase one of his fabulous books and have it signed. After he signed the
book, in a very personal way, I walked over to the copy machine and made 2
copies of every photograph in the book. These I gave to my son and daughter,
as they were in attendance with me. As we started to walk away Kurt had a
professional hissy fit. He told me I couldn't do that and demanded money for
two additional books.



Well, I never!



"Fair use" I exclaimed. "I have already paid for the book and I own it!"
Kurt would have none of that.



"But Kurt", I said, "you are fabulously rich and don't need any more money.
You have a mansion and a private jet. You have a fourteen car garage and a
chauffeur for each automobile. You have vacation homes on six of the seven
continents. You want for nothing!"



Kurt had me handcuffed and taken away!

Please! Your talking to a man that broadcasts his "morals," but
admittedly refuses to explain them when questioned about those "morals"
that he brought up in the first place!

Like he cares about his fiction being an honest representation of
reality!


Below is not a work of fiction [though it is edited]:

Crusty: "I purchase a copy for each of my computers because it is, what
I consider, 'morally' correct!"

kurttrail: "Why? Don't you think that 'fair use' is morally correct?
If not, why do
you think that the concept of 'fair use' is immoral?"

Crusty: "I'm not getting drawn in Kurt, unlike other who go for the
bait. You
should know me by now!"

kurttrail: "No, you are just like many of the others. Don't answer the
tough questions . . . . You are just unwilling, or unable to explain why
you believe that."

Crusty: "That is right Kurt. I am NOT going to explain my morals to
you, or the
reasons for them being as they are! That is between myself and those I
hold
dearest to me - my children! I hope you can respect that!"

For an unedited transcript of this conversation see:

His photos are quite good actually! He has a competent understanding of the
use of a slow shutter speed for desired effects.

It doesn't bother me that he doesn't want to explain his morals, in fact
I'm kind of glad he didn't; we don't need another mile-long debate here
hashing over things that have nothing to do with the operating system.

All he'd have to do is change the last line to say something like, "Kurt
had me served with papers to appear in court for copyright infringement."

LOL! Yeah, lets get back to all the people who have screwed their
computers up, through their own ignorance, with spyware & viruses!

> All he'd have to do is change the last line to say something like,

But who'd want to read about a civil suit. There is a reason that
things like the People's Court & Divorce Court are on daytime TV, and
CSI and Law & Order are on primetime. Housefrau's at home with kids
will watch just about anything. Hell, you could probably get away with
programming the Paint Drying Show during daytime TV!

> I already read it once, that was enough, thanks.

Not everybody had, and it was that conversation that was the genesis of
Crusty's creative writing foray.

Good point. I must add Court TV to this sequence and find most interesting
is the coincidental planning of moon phase related incidents during the few
days before and after a full moon. Funny or not so funny how that works out
for those inflicted (massive/bi). Not sure if this is to aid or help.

Added off topic: Did great research on this for my dissertation (crimes
committed during the moon phases) and have to say that computer woes/posts
here don't stray much from the correlations.

A round of applause goes out to Richard. LOL
It took me awhile, and I still don't completely agree with you on all
"points", but I have not found any information you give that is in violation
of any law. Contract breeches are not illegal, they are civil matters and
are enforced at the discretion of the holder of the contract agreement.
So far now the decision is a conundrum that has no definitive answer. Right
now it is not illegal to breech the contract agreement, but you do have to
be deceptive to do so. If your reasoning is the agreement is not applicable
to your understanding of fair use, your action is based in a civil
disagreement of the unresolved contract. The situation would be different if
it was a commercial use contract violation.

Personally I try to help the users that post here to fix a problem with the
prime objective being the least amount of data loss, if the user has to use
extraordinary means to do so, I feel like they have the right to do so. I
don't condone or promote the use of the built in workarounds Microsoft left
available to users for troubleshooting and data retrieval, but I will supply
[and do on my web site]when the information when it is necessary.

I believe that the EULA usage terms are perfectly valid commercial use
terms. I only have a problem with the usage terms of the EULA when it
comes to private non-commercial use by an individual.

I just don't know enough about you Kelly to be able to compose a satire.

Kurt is very visible in what he believes in (nothing wrong with that). It's
just that I don't believe the same. Nothing wrong with that either (well, to
Kurt it is - I guess). Hell, he's a smart guy and he does help people out
here when he wants to go technical (-:

I do know that I have been saving many of your posts going back some three

Keep up the good work!
