I Bought a CD, not a Licensing Agreement
Let us walk through my most recent purchase. I strolled into the store, located the CD I was after, paid for it in cash and left. At no stage was I asked to sign a licensing agreement - not even a post-sale agreement like those for software. It was a simple transaction of cash for a physical product.
”No,” cries the music industry, ”you are bound by the licensing agreement that you did not sign and that we cannot produce for inspection.”
Fine - let’s suppose I now have a licence for personal use applying to all the CDs I own. I should be able to take advantage of that. A CD I bought 10 years ago now has a scratch down the middle so that five of the 10 songs refuse to play. Luckily for me, this problem is solely with the physical medium. After all, my licence for personal use should allow me to reacquire ”my” content, especially since it is digital data and can be reproduced an unlimited number of times at virtually no cost.
”No,” cries the music industry, ”you bought a product, not a licence. You are not entitled to a free replacement, you need to buy it all over again. And when you do, you will be covered by another identical licence. Until something happens to this new physical medium.”
The irony...

Mitos Pistol Plastik Glock
via enemyforces.net
Selama ini kita mengenal mitos bahwa pistol Glock adalah stealth pistol yg bisa lolos dari alat deteksi karena terbuat dari plastik. Pistol Glock pada kenyataannya tetap nggak bisa lolos dari detektor metal dan tetap terdeteksi oleh mesin X-ray karena barrel dan slidenya terbuat dari besi. Klaim yang mengatakan bahwa pistol Glock bisa lolos pertama kali muncul dalam artikel yang diterbitkan oleh The Washington Post pada 13 Januari 1985 dengan judul "Qhadafy Buying Austrian Plastic Pistol". Dalam artikel tersebut, Jack Anderson seorang advokat pendukung pengawan senjata yang memberikan pernyataan seperti itu, yang kemudian diberitakan oleh Associated Press tanpa pemeriksaan ulang terhadap pernyataan tersebut. Berita ini kemudian disebarluaskan oleh banyak stasiun TV dan media cetak lainnya di Amerika. Sejak itulah mitos ini menjadi populer dan muncul dalam berbagai berita dan film.
Faktanya, 83.7% (berdasarkan berat) dari pistol Glock berupa material besi yang umum digunakan diberbagai pistol lainnya dan bagian yang terbuat dari "plastik" sebenarnya adalah bahan polymer padat yang dikenal sebagai "Polymer 2" yang dapat dideteksi oleh peralatan scan X-ray biasa. Selain itu, hampir semua materi "plastik" dalam pistol ini diperkuat dengan materi besi, tidak untuk membuat pistol ini dapat terdeteksi, tetapi untuk meningkatkan fungsi dan akurasi.
Sejauh ini, belum ada perusahaan senjata yang telah memproduksi pistol dengan materi plastik, porcelain atau ceramic yang tidak terdeteksi oleh peralatan scan yang ada sekarang.
