Not quite knowing of that which you write, is where *you* fail.
In fact, one can set one's profile to not allow sharing with any app being used by any one.
Blind hatred of Facebook is no less ignorant than blindly sharing one's personal data without care.
Yes, yes, but he pled to something that is apparently not a crime. That's the crux of the argument. His plea should be invalidated along with the plea agreement. Then, he should be prosecuted for his actual crimes.
Let's say Ford offered to sell you a brand new car at half the normal price, but the car has software installed on it that causes it to only accept gas at a Ford garage with special and expensive Ford fuel.
No contract is involved. The only question is whether you have the right to alter or disable the software. The Librarian of Congress has stated that -- in the case of phones -- you do.
There is some question over the interpretations of "owner" and "sole purpose" in this case, but there is no concern over contracts.
I've yet to meet a pirate who is moderate or only does it once or twice.
Allow me to introduce myself, reformed downloader.
Whilst waiting tables, shameless downloader and watcher of, uh, "free" cable. Now gainfully employed, happy customer of Steam, Rhapsody, Netflix and Cox.
Also I discovered I had been being a hypocritical douchebag, and didn't wanna be a playa no more. People can change, and will, if properly incentivized.

One point for Common Sense.
Wait a sec. Do you mean to suggest that all this uproar may just be a bunch of FUD-based hooey? ~No way.~
Among the more ridiculous reasons I have seen, to stop reading something.
On the one hand, the awesomeness of Firefly.
On the other hand, Michio Kaku.
*shudder*
~Well, it's a good damn thing they're developing these products for the government, and not like, someone we can't trust to use them responsibly.~
To further the pursuit of accuracy, I would say it is treating a gangrenous leg by hiring a polka band.
To be most correct, it would need to be a gang of green pirates aiding a polka band.
UP TO 9000?
That's not so impressive...

App confirmation screens don't have a lot of text. Reading them is not not comparable to reading an EULA.
Continued to play with her toys? I think that destroys the "she was actually 19" argument...
Depends on the toys.
Allegedly.
Not that that's relevant to whether one can plead guilty to something that is not a crime.
Yes, yes, but he pled to something that is apparently not a crime. That's the crux of the argument. His plea should be invalidated along with the plea agreement. Then, he should be prosecuted for his actual crimes.
Prostitution also should not be be illegal, but that's a whole 'nother can o' worms.
Very well. Punish for the actual crimes he committed, not for the non-crime.
Your analogy fails.
Corrected, you analogy would be:

This is a whole world of logic fail.
Thank Christ it's a temporary name. "LibreOffice" is a terrible name.
Oh noes! Women no longer want to be just baby factories! How dare them! Written by a person who is guaranteed to be single for life.
Oh, cheer up, AC. I'm sure there's someone out there who could love you. Best of luck.
Or you could just not play their game. Ubisoft is hardly the only developer around.
Good news, everyone!
Is it just me, or are random nonsensical first-posts getting more randomly nonsensical?
You had me at "drug delivery."
