If a reader were to photocopy an entire book, could the copy machine vendor be sued? Or, what if a graphics package was used to recreate an image pixel by pixel, could the software vendor be sued? Or, if any of us developers write code that someone then uses to steal or infringe on a copyright,...
The new application event mechanism (planned for Blackstone) provides powerful new functionality to ColdFusion developers. Lots of you have asked about this feature since it was first mentioned in the MAX ColdFusion BOF (and then blogged in my BOF report), and so a basic overview is in order. Here...
