    It’s fiction. Whether “she chooses to accept it or not” is up to the imagination of Riva Pomerantz.

    Daas, so if after you open the package it states that you just agreed to turn over any real estate you own to the producers, its binding? If not, on what halachic basis are any of the terms binding?

    You know that’s a ridiculous argument. The rental agreement only limits your use of the CD, it has no external clauses (and the most it could do anyhow would be disallow use of the CD, not obligate you to turn over your real estate).

    The question is also if its right for the producer to not let you copy for yourself when he dosent have any lost, isn’t that midas sdom?

    First of all, they claim you should buy another copy. Secondly, even if it was midas sdom, do you think that would invalidate the rental agreement and convert it to a sale, or otherwise remove the limitation?

    I happen to agree that it’s unfair to limit in such a way, but it’s not worth being oiver on g’neiva (or even a chashash) on principle.

    I dont have a video of it as evidence, but there was no question about it. Its one room with everyone able to see everyone else (absolutely no hidden corners, room dividers, beams, etc).

    What pleasure might I be gaining by changing details? If I wanted to make up or embellish a sensational story, I could easily get a lot more sensational or embellish a lot more.

    I wasn’t accusing you of fabricating or embellishing anything, but suggesting that they were concentrating on the laining.

    Even during laining?

    I just find it hard to believe that an entire shul would be so callous.

    I still don’t understand how anybody can know that ofcourse was seen and ignored; maybe she was not noticed (even during haman).

    Shwekey does not have the RIGHT to say you are renting a CD if he prices it the same as a purchase.

    Why not?

    If they try this “shtick” of rental agreement to keep you from making a copy, then I would boycott any music from this producer.

    I would too (and have done so. Well, maybe not a boycott, but I didn’t make the purchase). Most rental agreements, however, exclude anything to facilitate copying for others.

    Daas, it’s hard to put a “rental agreement” on the cover. “Reference” to it is insufficient. Unless the entirety of the “agreement” is visible prior to purchase, it is not binding.

    They write on the back of the CD that you agree to accept the terms of the rental specified inside. If you’re afraid of their ridiculous demands, don’t “buy” it. Besides, by now we all know goos and well what it says inside.

    I don’t think they have a binding method of controlling copying (for yourself) purchased downloads.

    OU’s article on gelatin:

    http://www.oukosher.org/index.php/common/article/the_fascinating_story_of_kosher_gelatin_or_how_a_product_from_beef_can_be_u/

    excerpted parts: (emphasis mine)

    This is not the mainstream position. It has been rejected by every major kosher certifying agency. Indeed, equipment that processed gelatin products might need kosherization, depending on the nature of the contact between the equipment and the product.

    … Of course, there are products that require beef gelatin, and no suitable alternative exists. The kosher consumer will be pleased to note that the OU certifies such a gelatin as well. This special gelatin is made exclusively from the skins of kosher ritually slaughtered cows. Strikingly, this variety of beef-derived gelatin is considered pareve, and may even be combined with dairy ingredients! Although kosher laws are very strict concerning the segregation of milk and meat, the processing of these hides renders them pareve. Therefore, even kosher milk chocolate delicacies can be made with kosher beef gelatin. Orthodontists of the world rejoice: every sticky gummy treat is now available to the kosher consumer.

    so why is everyone so against goyish music? please fill me in…thank you

    The objection people have to the lyrics should be obvious. The objection to the music itself is more subtle, but, to simplify, I’ll just point out that music is very powerful. It can bring various emotions, feelings, and attitudes. These can be inspiring, or c”v damaging to the neshama. Secular music to often is the latter.

    When is the customer given the rental agreement? Before purchase or after opening the package? The latter would be non-binding unless a return would accepted if the agreement is unacceptable to the customer.

    They know this, and usually, reference is made on the cover.

    You should discuss which topics are good to discuss on a date. When she asks for your opinion, you should say “discussing which topics are good to discuss on a date”. In theory, the conversation will never end, and you won’t have any “dead spots”.

    Let’s review some CR history. Eclipse was the heroine, Joseph the villain.

    Two points to ponder.

    1)Suppose eclipse logged on to hear her own live ‘Hesped’. You think she’d be able to restrain from replying?

    2)Imagine the Gevurah of Yosef to actually come out and say “Ani Yosef”, I am Joseph!

    RSRH,

    I don’t think the two interpretations are mutually exclusive.

    All of the imperfections are planned precisely, hence the imperfect world is in fact a perfect world.

    And the word you’re looking for is “techniques.”

    the apparent sinas chinam displayed towards one group of mispallelim, (in this case, Carlebach minyan)

    Maybe it’s those rose colored glasses of mine, but no one said (or at least most didn’t say) anything about the people who daven at a Carlebach minyan, just the davening itself.

    Who shows pictures at 30fps? NTSC is 24fps and pal is something else, but neither of them are 30.

    Film is normally 23.976 FPS but there are some systems that use 24 FPS

    PAL is 25 FPS

    NTSC is 29.97 FPS

    ATSC supports all of the above and adds 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 FPS

    At those other speeds, is there something inherently wrong? 🙂

    Wow, I can’t believe you CR members!!! As far as I’M concerned, it’s TOTALLY ASSUR to copy a CD without the producer’s permission.

    We’re discussing copying a CD, which you paid for, to use, for yourself, in a different location.

    If the producer is specifically makpid not to even copy even for yourself, then, depending on the terms of the sale (or “rental”), and which posek you ask, it might be a problem. I won’t buy such a CD; I want a copy in my computer, and a copied CD for the car.

    Most producers are not makpid.

    To those who consider nussach a mere anachronism worthy of consignment to ash heaps of history, answer this question: Are you similarly nonchalant and glib about trop? Why not? Whither goest nussach ultimately goes trop.

    Although I am not from that group (I think nusach is important), I neither see nor anticipate anyone reading from the Torah to a Carlebach tune.

    stop paying your rent if you are a tenant. let the landlord take you to court at which time you tell the court that you don’t have

    “quiet enjoyment” to which you are entitled.

    By withholding the rent, you are forcing landlord (which might be

    the upstairs person) to get involved and solve the problem. Otherwise, it will cost financially.

    Ask a shaila first.

    i think an apology from you is in order too, being a moderater doesnt mean u are always right your response was way over the top

    He was trying to help. I think we can all learn from his advice.
