    Someone from HEXUS editorial should contact John Lewis for comment.

    Re: John Lewis using downloaded movie rips to show off their macs

    Wonder how much RIPpig the JL partnership will get from the Apple-ensemble legal team over this one
    .
    .

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
    There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.


    (I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case )

    Re: John Lewis using downloaded movie rips to show off their macs

    thats seriously dodgy, and i think it would be a scandal if the distributers did not sue JL for this infringment, as this is clearly a case where they are using it as a commercial trailer (not juts for home viewing).

    if they are not fined as heavily, or more plausibly much heavier than than others who have obtained illegal content then it just shows how corrupt the "system" is.

    Re: John Lewis using downloaded movie rips to show off their macs

    Ok, affriad its not as good as gordo's find.

    But the Slone Square Peter Jones (A John Lewis by any other name) would seam to be pirating music.

    A dvd in their imac is playing all sorts of popular music, all of it low quality MP3, many named Track 1 and the like, which would suggest it is in no way legally obtained, as some of the tracks had ID3 info which alludes of piracy.

    But hey, thats probably the staff for their own use, rather than demo'ing.

    Also, mac users, the mighty mouse REALLY is awful, i can't believe someone held the prototype and said YES this is the completely un-natural hand posistion you will be using.

    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.
