I would never download a car nor would I ever stole software, music or movies.
On the other side I have a lot of free time so I spend my days generating random binaries with a program like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
long long i, s;
FILE* f = fopen(argv[1], "w");
srand(time(NULL));
sscanf(argv[2], "%lld", &s);
for(i=0; i<s; i++){
fputc(rand() % 255, f);
}
fclose(f);
return 0;
}I run ./libraryofbabel Serial_Experiments_Lain_01_BDRip_hi10p_1080p.mkv 1158962133 a sufficient number of times. Most of the time I get gibberish data but I eventually end up with a perfectly enjoyable anime episode. At no moment have I illegally copied a digital work without the permission of the copyright holder. I generated it myself. A court would have to refute the Infinite Monkey Theorem to prove otherwise. There are no illegal binaries stored in your hard disk if you also hold a copy of this program.

This is sharing and "piracy" is the marketing term of corporations who concede from the get go that their arguments do not stand up to sharing, otherwise they wouldn't be desperate for a rename.

Your argument fails on this point, as the lifetime of the universe measured in Planck times is an insignificantly small fraction of the steps required.

I agree with you but the law isn't quite clear about it.

Even if there's only an infinitesimal chance, it's still possible to generate an anime without a single glitch the first time I run the aforementioned command. The judge has to give me the benefit of the doubt. And I got an anime episode on the first run but it had a lot of weird glitches

No, because the standard for proving your guilt in a criminal case in western legal systems is "beyond a reasonable doubt", and as I explained your defense is enormously far outside of being reasonable.

You need to lay off the drugs.

mkay, it falls under the same fallacy as Monolith.

Very interesting read. I've never played Paranoia and this made me want to.
There's a video game version to be released.

The posters are oddly accurate in these times.

What nerds think courts have to do and what courts actually have to do generally have very little overlap.

You can't say that on a lisp textboard.
Whoever created this thread has the mind of a 4 year old.

The srand line is not commented out so still better than the debian maintainers.

I can say that because although I'm a nerd, I'm also not so autistic that I don't realize it. The way courts "prove" things has nothing to do with proofs in mathematics. Dumb hacks like "prove the file isn't randomly generated" don't impress courts.
I dunno, I think you could use probability to say that given the anime existed before your version, and given how unlikely it is that your program produced that version, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that you pirated it. But that's just my non-legal opinion.

No possession indeed.
Did this board suddenly get a bunch of tourists?
Don't drink the water, they put something in it to make you forget

Let's hope so, we need more than that nerd spamming about irregex all the time.

* Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit.
* Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those Santraginean fish!
* Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
* Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.
* Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic.
* Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink.
* Sprinkle Zamphuor.
* Add an olive.
