But the courts have already ruled that due to the levy, sharing is legal. Besides the Canadian Supreme Court seems to think that the right protecting us from unreasonable searches is actually a right to privacy. This makes it close to impossible for the labels to sue anyone here in Canada as they can't find out who John Doe actually is. Laws are working their way through Parliament to fix this unluckily.
This is Canada. The Supreme Court has consistently interpreted our right to not have unreasonable searches as actually a right to privacy. Because of this the *aa's have a really hard time getting enough info to start a law suite. So basically there are no lawsuits. Of course there is an updated copyright law working its way through Parliament and will pass barring another election which will change this. Only reason I hope for a another election, so the copyright bill will die like the last 3 versions did. (All bills before Parliament die when Parliament is dissolved and with a minority Parliament all it takes is a money bill to fail to force an election).
The Canadian courts have handled the making available argument the opposite of the States. As I understand it, if I have a FTP server with a bunch of music on it and you download from it, it's your action and legal. If I upload to your FTP server then I'm distributing and it's illegal. So all the people who want to share is make available their collection and as long as the downloader initiates the download it is legal.
last use of the Smith Act was 1961, but that case didn't involve free speech. I guess those hippies weren't really serious.
They just started to use different laws to put the hippies away, mostly drug related. For example Timothy Leary was sentenced to 30 years + $30,000 fine + psychological evaluation for a drug arrest in '65. After taking it to the supreme court and getting it quashed he then was busted for a couple of roaches which he claimed were planted and sentenced to 10 years (plus another consecutive 10 years). Luckily for him, he wrote the psychological tests they gave him so he could game the system leading to eventually escaping. When recaptured President Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in North America" and the judge at his remand hearing set bail at $5 million as "If he is allowed to travel freely, he will speak publicly and spread his ideas." The only danger from Timothy Leary was speech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Leary#Legal_troubles. One of the big reasons for the drug laws is to go after people for political reasons and now the States has millions of people in jail and contrary to modern civilization these people have their rights permanently taken away. The other big thing was the FBI just ignoring the law, read up on the things that J. Edgar Hoovers FBI did.
And how much of that money would make it to Liberia? Generally the way charities work is that 90% of the donations are used to pay for the charity and advertising.
At least here in Canada we were lucky enough that when our government sold us out, I mean signed the free trade agreement with the States it was before the internet so IP laws weren't even considered.
Due process is getting screwed up here too. Locally they're using building inspectors to look for grow-ops. Use too much hydro and they show up, inspect your building and charge $5000 for the hours work. One of the Conservatives main election platforms is to build more jails and make more things illegal, damn the cost even though their other platform is that they're more fiscally responsible. People believe it too even though they took the budget surplus and turned it into the biggest deficit ever.
Locally the radio keeps advertising how the Liberals are evil because they want Bill 63 (?) to send money to the American record labels and the Conservatives want to send the money to the Canadian record labels. As far as I know there are no Canadian owned record labels so either way the money leaves Canada.
I don't think America likes our privacy laws as well. Advertisers can't harvest quite as much information and certain industries like the medical can't outsource to the States.
You should learn the difference between plugins and extensions. Plugin, separate binary that displays in the browsers window, eg flash. Extension, an extension to the browser that use XUL or as you noticed, JavaScript & HTML/CSS. Extensions are usually cross-platform and as long as the rendering engine is the same, often cross-browser. Eg SeaMonkey and Firefox.
You could always go back to the suite. SeaMonkey is surprisingly good, less bloated and faster then Firefox. Plus most extensions work fine with SeaMonkey 2.1pre.
Various greenhouse effects, mostly water vapor, gives us about 33 degrees of warming. So global average temperatures of -18 Celsius or so. Warmer then Mars but not conducive to liquid oceans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect
Commonwealths in partnership with England you mean. Quite possibly with more real freedoms then you currently have. I know as a citizen of a commonwealth, I feel like I have more freedom then most Americans and worst, America is currently the chief threat to my freedoms. If France hadn't helped you, you might be more free today. Plus as a bonus, you wouldn't have been on the side of the French monarchy during their revolution and the French may have experienced more freedom sooner.
It's been 15 years now since I installed an operating system that took voice commands and voice dictation. It took very little time to realize that I felt stupid talking to the computer and disturbed everyone else in the room.

In Canada rewritable CD's also have the levy applied. You have to use DVD's.
This is Canada, all CDR's have the levy applied to them. That is why DVD's are cheaper.

Well, one can always use Tor. All they'll see is the IP of a Tor gateway.
Wouldn't the gateway know your address etc? I'd also guess a good chunk of the gateways are run by a government

Makes sure the wrong people don't get to vote.
Goes to show how bad things were under the Czars that Stalin was an improvement. Imagine how well the USSR might have done without Stalin
Perhaps you guys should ratify the original first amendment, in its original form. The fact that the second proposed amendment finally passed in 1992 after over 200 years shows hope.

I currently see 24 threads (highest numbered one being #31) running in one Firefox process, seems far from single threaded.

They sued a couple of companies who had trademarks which included the word spam. They don't mind you using the term spam but ask not to use SPAM.

The US constitution doesn't allow any laws against freedom of speech either yet the shield law seems to be anti-speech.
'96 it shipped with OS/2 v4.
