P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay
With the US and other G8 countries trying to outlaw The Pirate Bay and its ilk, an anonymous reader suggests that a solution may have emerged out of Cornell University. A new open-source project called Cubit is an Azureus plugin that provides decentralized approximate keyword search of torrents in the network.
He signed up just for that. Well, that, and to have a conversation with twitter.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
so anyone actually producing content, and taking minor steps to prevent people stealing their stuff is a 'malicious IAA thug' whereas you people taking everyone else's hard work for free are some kind of fucking heroes?
get a grip kid. Copyright infringement is a fancy word for stealing from people who work fucking hard to entertain you.
Grow up.
Next they will begin suing people for just "thinking" about typing in a query, that may or may not have been something 'close enough' to a portion of some MPAA's movie title. Fuzzy searches might just beget more fuzzy lawsuits by some slimy lawyer.
I know. The asshole, who picked up the card I lost last month and racked up $400 worth of charges, was simply in (vigorous) civil disobedience to those hideously abusive anti-theft laws. The thievery was with us for thousands of years now, ending the unwinnable "war on theft" would free up police resources to fight the real crimes — if there are any left, that is, after applying this same logic...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
..The right to file share is in the constitution? Come on don't bullshit me. Nothing gives us the right to share the work other people own. We do it anyway, because we're starting to believe it is more inline with the freedom and ease of distribution of information.
Now just imagine once 3d printers become cheap enough for the common household... Manufacturers of small cheap trinkets had better be worried because their time is next.
Well, first they need to invent 3d scanners, and I haven't heard of those just yet. So them manafacturers are safe a little bit longer.
Wow I knew pop music was bad for you, but never thought it was like cocaine.
Perhaps you are an expert on both and know.
I think pop music is legal and I have never seen it produce brain damage, but I have seen several with seizures and they say is dancing.
Do you think the same will happen with drugs. Will they stop being addictive the moment they are legalized?
Alan goes to Starbucks and buys a skinny latté if he has time after lunch.
Exhibit 2
Having failed to pick up a john at the truck stop for a few hours in the middle of the day, Bob walks downtown and mugs an old lady to get the money to cocaine to inject into his genitals.

He used to steal from his family but his brother beat the shit out of him and kicked him out.
Yup caffeine and cocaine addiction are totally the same thing. If caffeine were banned Alan would do what Bob does.
