MPAA Countersues 321 Studios
Squash writes "321 Studios, makers of DVD X-Copy, is being Counter-sued by the MPAA. You may remember them filing suit to allow thier software to be produced and sold. Interesting point: the MPAA wants to claim all profits from sales of the software, which is now being bundled with some DVD burners."
Look no further inquisitive one! I know the answer, it's to NOT FP! I cannot believe you got beat by some guy that thought he was so late to the FP punch that he was a third post. So statistically speaking you're at least a 6th post and a 6th post is a FAILURE!
YOU FAIL IT!
to point out that killing people isn't illegal in the US. Murder is. A fine distinction, I know, but an important one nonetheless.
There are those who are trying to make killing people illegal, and for the most part I applaud their efforts, but they're losing at the moment.
Nor are people the only things guns are used for killing. Many in the US still use them for killing something called "dinner."
In large areas of the US ( which is *not* like a great big Holland or NYC carried out ad infinitum)guns are often still necessary to prevent people from *becoming* dinner. An average of 14 people a year are killed by wild lions. The figures for bears are considerably higher.
People who never leave LA, NYC or Western Europe sometimes have a hard time wrapping their heads around the idea that over much of the North American continent (which actually includes Canada, believe it or not, where guns are ubiquitous but murder is not)guns still play the same day to day role that they did 400 years ago, and are just as necessary in that role.
