Ys but first you would have to legally obtain the files which would cost you money. Whenever you hire it out you would have to delete any of your own copies of the file. When the hiree returns it to you(deleting their copy is up to them not up to you), you may hire it out to someone else. if they do not bother returning it(if you didn't know them why would they?) you would have to legally($$$) obtain another copy before hiring it out again.
or if there were something that the police thought the public should be aware of for their own safety then perhaps they could just i dunno, tell the media?
Nope. It seems apple wanted nothing to do with it either.
From TFA:
Speck told iTnews he offered the opportunity for Apple Australia to also pursue the retailer to protect its trademarks, but to his disappointment the company declined.
Australia is not in the UK. We have our own laws seperate from the empire.
Although according to this article they have identified 100 customers and will be pursuing them for recieving stolen goods. I dont know how that'll go in court though.
If someone has jailbroken their phone and is capable of and interested in finding, downloading and installing a pirated app on their phone, they are lost revenue for us anyway.
ahh finally, a dev who understands. Pirates are gonna pirate, it's what they do. you can't do shit about it. Trying to stop them is futile at best and damaging at worst.
you know, if you'd just pirate your movies like a normal person you wouldn't have to see all those silly "you wouldn't steal a car" ads at the start, and then you probably wouldn't think that stealing a car is the same thing as pirating software.
ahh back then when blizzard was awesome and they'd let you install a spawn version on as many PCs as you wanted using your license however they could only play online and against you.
then WoW, and i hate to say it but D3...Eck(i loved D1 & 2, but D3 beta really has me considering not bothering to buy the game)
welcome??? geee thanks, what i really needed was another distraction to prevent me from doing the work i was supposed to already have finished.
i'm blaming you in advance for this not being finished on time. (i wish i could backdate this blame, it was seriously due november last year, then skyrim happened)
nothing, it's just no better than the 3 million free flash games i'd play when i'm bored. and less fun (in my opinion), than a few lesser known free mobile games
it's definitely not something i would pay for therefore his stance on piracy (while great and a good step forward) does not mean much to me.
that being said, thanks to the chrome links posted above i am now playing it instead of finishing off work that i should have done months ago.
i understand bricking a prison must mean making the walls more secure to prevent future jailbreaks but what happens when you install a SIM unlock in one?
I suppose that's what you mean, since he has no control over or anything to do with the daily operation of Twitter...
I don't know where you got the idea that Twitter ran the DHS and had the power to boot people out of the country? but if they did, i'd sure hope that the president had some level of control over what they did.
that's fine as long ithis is made clear at the point of sale, along with any issues i might have installing on more than one computer, upgrading my computer and then playing it. having to reformat my pc, playing it at a friends house, playing it in 5 years time. e.t.c. (some methods may have no effect on some of these)
it would also be good if the companies also don't complain if they find this model hurts their sales instead of helps them.
i think your inventing a point about something that has nothing to do with piracy .
if i'm a developer and want to sell a game for $42.00 - $48.00 to a game store and they want to buy it and we can come to an agreement then that should be okay. what happens to the game after is none of my business. the store now owns this copy of the game.
If the store wants to sell it to customer a for $59.00 and customer a agrees with this then that should be okay to. what happens from here on out is no-one's business other than customer a. customer a owns the copy now.
if customer a now wants to sell it back to the store for $5 and the store wants to buy it for that price. then no one is doing anything wrong and no one other than customer a and the store are involved in the transaction.
if then the store wishes to sell it to customer b for $54.95 and customer b accepts then go for it. the copy of the game is now customer b's.
if you can give me a single valid reason why any of these transactions are immoral or advise where the developer should get more money then i shall concede that something should be done to hinder the used game market.
resale of goods occurs in every other market, and no one has a problem with it. i don't understand why developers believe they should have some extra right to stop resale of their goods. nor do i understand why they get away with planned obsolescence in their products(which many of the schemes to combat the used game market are). planned obsolescence is a breach of consumer rights in at least the UK.

THIS is the primary reason I stopped buying music cd's. When everything sounds like shit, the pirate version is simply better.
Where are you getting your pirated copies that are mastered differently?

i wouldnt trust that last link. apparently the author doesnt know the difference between a country and a continent.

heard of video calling? it's been around for a while.
it may be hard(but not impossible) to find a mime in 96 with a compatible device though
I am a geek with good understanding about Linux. I probably know more about computers than your typical Slashdot geek.
if you know so much about Linux, why is this in one if your four only posts on slashdot:
Either tell me what I gain from using Linux, or I'm not even going to try it.
and if you have only four posts how do you know enough about this community to say that you know more than 'your typical Slashdot geek'

no, it's a company doing business in a manner i do not despise and would happily continue to have a relationship with.
because no sane IT department allows anyone in the company to use software without a license (unless of course it doesn't need one)

I, too, hate Obama for allowing Twitter to exist.
I suppose that's what you mean, since he has no control over or anything to do with the daily operation of Twitter...
I don't know where you got the idea that Twitter ran the DHS and had the power to boot people out of the country? but if they did, i'd sure hope that the president had some level of control over what they did.
wow, you're so smart. will you be my friend.

don't steal it. Just wait until the copyright expires.
there won't be enough seeders then.

i was going to reply with something about not being allergic to malware, but you explained what i wanted to much better than i would have.
