I recieved a Creative Zen around Christmas and I never really figured out how to work it right. Originally I asked for it because I found out that it had more GB than an ipod (which I formerly had) and it came at a cheaper price. However when I got it, it came with little to no instruction and even though I’m good at computers I still am having troubles with it.
How do I rip my already owned movies from DVDs and put them onto my Zen? I’ve tried a few things, but because of the anti-piracy thing it wouldn’t allow me to do it, even though I’m just transfering it.
How do I get music onto the stupid thing? It’s insanely difficult to figure it out, and somehow my dad managed to do it. But he couldn’t explain it really well to me.
Any help would be great. :3

Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy questions.?
Two part question:
1. How do I stop the “Do I want to install WGA” from appearing every time I restart my computer?
2. Is there a way to uninstall if, god forbid, someone accidentally/mistakenly installs it?
This hasn’t happened but I am curious just in case.
thanks for the info Bill & Rose. I followed instructions but at windows/system32 folder, when I try to delete wgalogon.dll, I get a access denied, make sure disk is not full/file not in use. I know I haven’t dl it or I wouldn’t be getting a message to install everytime I reboot.
We Wee, this question has nothing to do with “getting away with piracy”. It has to do with not wanting a OPTIONAL software installed on my computer and not wanting to be reminded to install a OPTIONAL software every time I start my computer. Who says I have anything pirated on my computer? Are you assuming since I chose not to install the software that I am instantly guilty of pirating?
Or am I mistaken that it is optional? Is Windows strategy to pester people until they install the WGA? Let me clarify that I don’t think I have the WGA installed on my computer, I simply keep getting a window that asks me to install it everytime I restart my computer. Dont want to sound hostile, just frstrated. Thanks.
Copyright Infringement – Software Piracy Questions?
Hey Guys,
I have a few concerns and questions that I need answered. I have Googled the laws extensively but would like some human perspective.
I have a friend who downloaded software from Vuze.com. The software is a language software and the torrent he downloaded contained files from a bunch of different languages offered by the company. My friend can burn the files onto a DVD and the DVD can be used on any computer. There is no installation required or anything like that. He has posted the software for sale or trade in various cities on Craigslist.com. Originally he was posting the listings and including the name of the software. Soon after he received a cease and desist letter from company demanding that he remove the listings and stop. After that, my friend decided to post the listings but this time not include the actual name of the company. In the postings he does not write the actual name of the software, but rather posts listings such as “language learning software for sale or trade”. Since then he hasn’t received anymore notices from the company. Once my friend receives emails from people who are interested he informs them of the name of the software and arranges to mail them the software. He later received payment via mail or PayPal. Like I said, I looked up all the technical legal punishments such as $250,000 fines, etc. I need your input on a few different questions.
1. Does the fact that the name of the software isn’t publicly advertised matter at all?
2. How exactly are people usually caught? I’ve read that the FBI investigates these matters, but is that typical? Are they doing it on their own or are they asked to by the companies?
3. If caught, what is a realistic punishment? I have seen people sent to prison, but in the story I read the defendant had made millions off of the pirated software and had cars, etc. seized. Could you really go to prison?
4. If you are found guilty in civil court and are demanded to pay an astronomical figure in the hundreds of thousands, what do you do? Would you be forced to claim bankruptcy? Are you allowed to claim bankruptcy since theres no practical means for obtaining that kind of money?
5. Would you have any further warnings or would your house just get raided in an attempt to look for evidence?
6. What kind of lawyer would you need to defend yourself and how much would it cost? What could they do to help you?
Obviously this is a serious matter and your advice is greatly appreciated. I am aware of the laws and have looked up as much as I can but I value your personal input and would like to hear opinions on what would happen realistically.
Thank you for your time.

eCommerce SaaS Platforms, 10 Provider Questions
This article provides a checklist for retailers who are evaluating SaaS based eCommerce solutions as part of their re-platforming project. These are the characteristics of a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) eCommerce provider.
The platform decision is arguably the most important, complex, and costly part of a retailers 3-5 year investment cycle. It is a decision that is often put off or easily put on hold due to other priorities or the risks involved. And it is a decision that very few online retailers are qualified to make on their own since it has such broad implications across technology, marketing, operations, and sales.
What is SaaS?A logical place to start. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a delivery model alternative for software companies to license their software “on-demand”, typically delivered over the Internet using standard web protocols. In most cases, the SaaS provider has software running their own servers in a data center they manage, along with all aspects of the application. This is opposed to licensing software “off-the-shelf”.
eCommerce SaaS Providers are companies that deliver their eCommerce software platform on their proprietary infrastructure. True SaaS eCommerce providers can offer a much higher level of service overall to retailers over in-house or third party hosted models.
The “Service” in SaaSBeyond the software delivery side of SaaS, and more important for retailers to understand, is the provider’s ability to actually provide an ongoing service. The SaaS provider is not coming in, building out a website, charging licensing fees and leaving. A SaaS provider makes their money over a 3-5 year period and is accountable for keeping the website online and fast every second of every minute. A tall order for just plain old software companies and is the fundamental difference with SaaS providers over custom eCommerce solutions or third party hosted systems.
1. Redundant Server InfrastructureTrue eCommerce SaaS providers have redundant server farms with no single points of failure. The SaaS platform will offer load balancing, clustering, and automatic fail over for all server tiers. In all likelihood the SaaS platform will house more than one website and Client (called a multi-tenant architecture) – this is not a problem providing they can guarantee performance, security, and availability in a Service Level Agreement.
Beware: We often hear of eCommerce Systems Integrators proposing one or two servers as “ongoing hosting” instead of proposing robust, high-availability architectures.
2. New Features and Upgrades IncludedWe are not talking about “18% per year maintenance”. True eCommerce SaaS providers will deliver several releases per year of new platform features requested by their Clients. These features will be rolled into the software code base and seamlessly released to all Clients avoiding costly “customization fees”.
Beware: Software License Maintenance is often used as a placeholder during the sales process for new features, support, service, or other.
3. Service Level Agreement (SLA) IncludedTrue eCommerce SaaS providers have a “service culture”. They are used to earning their money over a 3-5 year period of time vs. one-time upfront fees. As a result, they will guarantee Uptime, Performance, Transaction Integrity, and the Support Process in an SLA with the retailer. These SLAs should provide clear monthly reports on the status and a penalty structure for not meeting the targets.
Beware: Companies may try to use the 3rd party hosting company’s SLA in place of an agreement with the solution provider.
4. PCI SecurityPayment Card Industry compliance is something that all online retailers must understand and be able to demonstrate. True eCommerce SaaS providers will maintain PCI-DSS compliance and provide controls within their platforms to make compliance easier for the merchant.
Beware: Providers should guarantee they will maintain PCI compliance in their Master Services Agreement.
5. eCommerce Account ManagementOutside of 24×7 support, true eCommerce SaaS providers will offer a dedicated account management resource to their Clients. This person is named on their account and is available as a single point of contact and is accountable for customer satisfaction at no extra cost.
Beware: It is important the person assigned to your account is not motivated by selling more services.
6. Platform ConfigurationTrue eCommerce SaaS platforms offer rich features that can be turned on or off (configurable) as part of the implementation and by the merchant on-demand. This includes the ability for complex merchandising, search, promotions, shipping, checkout, payment, and other tools to be available to the Client as needed at no extra charge.
Beware: Many eCommerce providers will build a custom platform and website that offers limited configurable parameters after it’s delivered.
7. Rapid DeploymentSince a true eCommerce SaaS provider already has existing infrastructure and software running live, this drastically reduces project times and allows the retailer (and the provider) to focus on the most strategic parts of a project (User Experience and Integration).
Beware: To reduce project risk, retailers must provide more time for testing (technology, procedures, etc.) for in-house or third party hosted solutions than with SaaS solutions.
8. NOC Monitoring and PerformanceTrue eCommerce SaaS platforms have a software and hardware architecture that is scalable, allowing for quick provisioning of additional capacity to handle peak demands. To stay on top of capacity, SaaS providers are continuously monitoring eCommerce websites using global availability and performance monitoring tools (Gomez, Keynote, Uptrends) and have a Network Operations Center (NOC) that can proactively stay ahead of load issues.
Beware: Many IT departments are just not staffed to handle 24×7×365 monitoring or have the resources to properly architect a scalable solution.
9. Rental License vs. One-Time Lump SumSince SaaS providers license their eCommerce platforms “on-demand” vs. lump sum licensing, most provide a monthly based fee to “rent” the license. SaaS licensing models vary, some which are based on transactions, commissions, users, products, bandwidth or flat monthly fees. In almost every case, the ongoing monthly fees with a SaaS provider will be higher but the one-time fees will be significantly lower (than a licensed / hosted or custom build hosted). Typically the monthly fee is a blend of License and Delivery of the service.
Beware: The monthly fee for SaaS providers is not “hosting”, it is a mix of licensing and service delivery (as defined in the plan and SLA). Go back to checklist #1, the managed hosting fees alone for a redundant setup will make the SaaS fees very reasonable.
10. Disaster Recovery – Business ContinuityAs a provider of business critical services to online retailers, true eCommerce SaaS providers will maintain a full disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity plan (BCP). This will protect the merchant by reducing possible downtime and data loss caused by a disaster in the data center.
Beware: Backups can be part of a DR strategy, but are not the plan alone. It is critical that the platform provider has a replicated environment to recover service if needed.
