    So if law enforcement come to me and say "Who uploaded that file on your server" I could just say it was 118.215.58.135 and the whitehouse administration is accountable.

    IP addresses are not nor will ever be valid evidence in a court of law.

    Copyright on software should be significantly lower because it becomes obsolete quicker so it needs to enter the public domain sooner for there to be any real benefit.

    Why should I work again if I can do it once and still get an income.

    We need to look at the benefit of free information. Copyright is detrimental, after 10 years if everything became public domain we would have many books freely accessible online.

  9. Re:Fuck. on Music Copyright In EU Extended To 70 Years · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck." It is the one magical word which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love and hate. In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories.

    It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John). It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful) or an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).

    As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck". Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:

    1. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
    2. Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."
    3. Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"
    4. Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."
    5. Aggression "FUCK YOU!"
    6. Disgust "Fuck me."
    7. Confusion "What the fuck.......?"
    8. Difficulty "I don't understand this fucking business!"
    9. Despair "Fucked again..."
    10. Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."
    11. Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"
    12. Lost "Where the fuck are we."
    13. Disbelief "UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!"
    14. Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"
    15. Denial "I didn't fucking do it."
    16. Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."
    17. Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"
    18. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
    19. Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"
    20. Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
    21. Directions "Fuck off."
    22. Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"

    It can be used in an anatomical description- "He's a fucking asshole."
    It can be used to tell time- "It's five fucking thirty."
    It can be used in business- "How did I wind up with this fucking job?"
    It can be maternal- "Motherfucker."
    It can be political- "Fuck D an Quayle!"

    It has also been used by many notable people throughout history: "What the fuck was that?" Mayor of Hiroshima
    " Where did all these fucking Indians come from?" General Custer
    "Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" Captain of the Titanic
    "Thats not a real fucking gun." John Lennon
    "Who's gonna fucking find out?" Richard Nixon
    "Heads are going to fucking roll." Anne Boleyn
    "Let the fucking woman drive." Commander of Space Shuttle "Challenger"
    "What fucking map?" Mark Thatcher
    "Any fucking idiot could understand that." Albert Einstein
    "It does so fucking look like her!" Picasso
    "How the fuck did you work that out?" Pythagoras
    "You want what on the fucking ceiling?" Michaelangelo
    "Fuck a duck." Walt Disney
    "Why?- Because its fucking there!" Edmund Hilary
    "I don't suppose its gonna fucking rain?" Joan of Arc
    "Scattered fucking showers my ass." Noah

    Yes, most people are honest and wouldn't steal even if they knew they had a 100% chance of getting away with it. But there are bound to be a few bad eggs out there and the more times a parcel changes hands the higher it's risk of passing through a dishonest person.

    Allot of companies that send things by mail stick their own address labels to the outside of the parcel. By that I mean an address label with the company logo.
