Blizzard Gets DMCA Smackdown From Sony
tdye writes: "Blizzard has apparently released an internal memo banning P2P software inside the company. They've been served by Sony with a DMCA note, based on rampant music sharing inside Blizzard. I guess what goes around, comes around! You can see it on Declan McCullagh's PoliTech website."
Everyone's homework assignment for tonight is to download some PS2 games from their favorite P2P network. We should all band-together to offer a nice, friendly, "Fuck You!" to Sony.
Its about time the rampant piracy and theivery was put to a stop. What you people do not seem to understand is that organizations like the RIAA and MPAA are fighting to protect the hard work of those they represent. When you download an MP3 or copy a DVD, you are stealing - just like if you stuffed a CD under your shirt and walked out of the store.
You are taking food off the table of hardworking professionals who are trying to feed their families and pay the bills. You all should be thrown in jail.
Just get the major record labels to sue Microsoft and it's employees for music copyright infringement. How could you not share music at work using an outstanding multimedia enabled OS like Windows XP?

In pharmacology, all drugs have a generic name
That's the same with all trademarked products. The generic for SPAM® is luncheon meat; the generic for Macintosh® is computer. Pharmacology just happens to assign a unique name to each active ingredient.
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra, and announced today that they have settled on Mycoxafloppin.
Wrong. The official VIAGRA® site lists the generic for VIAGRA as "sildenafil citrate."
Idiot moderators. People get modded down unfairly for this kind of crap, yet some people say the most inane shit and don't get modded down at all. Guess everyone's gotta have thier favorites.
Blue, the pink button.
