It's kinda disappointing knowing that they'll probably never remaster this game for various reasons, the biggest being that Edgar Rice Burroughs estate will demand their pound of flesh for any remakes/remasters

The DMCA is and was always a travesty needing to be severely curtailed. Sign. Call. Take action. Fuck the DMCA.

Void pantograph

Void pantographs work by exploiting the limitations and features of copying equipment. A scanner or photocopier will act as a low-pass filter on the original image, blurring edges slightly. It will also not be perfectly aligned with the directions of the document, causing aliasing. Features smaller than the resolution will also not be reproduced. In addition, human vision is sensitive to luminance contrast ratio. This means that if a grey region consists of a grid of very small dark dots the filtering will produce a lighter grey, while a region of larger dots will be affected differently ("big-dot-little-dot"). This makes it possible to see a pattern that previously was invisible.

Right now, the EU is debating plans to fix problems with copyright that affect you every day. But a powerful alliance is sabotaging these necessary updates. Will you join us and fight for them?

Con tutte le cautele del caso, direi che è un passo avanti.

Si parla di lobbing per <b>fermare</b> modifiche che andrebbero ad <b>aumentare</b> i diritti dei consumatori. Fino a qualche anno fa era l’esatto contrario (vedi SOPA/PIPA).

I’m bringing brand new copies of Physical Impossibility #3: Copywrongs to glasgowzinefest next Saturday, 4th April. Come find the Physical Impossibility table to grab a zine (alongside #3 and #2, I’ll also have the first copies of the second edition of #1: The Films of Larry Cohen) or a print.
