Germany Takes Legal Steps Against Facebook
crimeandpunishment writes "Not only are Germany and Facebook not friends, they might end up opponents in a courtroom. Germany has begun legal action over privacy. A German data protection official accuses Facebook of illegally saving personal data of people who don't use the site and haven't given permission to access their private information. Germany, which has also launched an investigation into Google over its Street View mapping program, has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world."
That's too bad... and I really wanted to get a Blizzard account just for Starcraft. Pirated SC2 game from torrents, here I come!
Yes, it's sarcasm. Deal with it!
Don't be stupid. If he weren't able to justify his piracy because of forum privacy issues, he'd have to rely on such excuses as DRM, cost, or how bad the game is.
If you disagree with a company's policies, it's a good reason not to buy their product. Deciding to pirate it, on the other hand, shows just how little your principles are worth to you
Logical fallacy. Deciding to pirate it shows how little someone else's principles are worth. Your comment would only make sense if he invented copyright law, which he didn't. Knee jerk, much? In fact you're bordering on Ad Hominem.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
