I fully understand what the law should be, but the reality is quite different. They have made it the fight that it is by overstepping the grace granted by society using money, not reason or justice or the public good. Its a war, there is no other way to phrase it. Copyright has been pushed so far beyond the bounds of its intended purpose and creative tools are so widely spread you could easily make the argument that copyright hinders far more then it contributes to the Public Domain.
So you think that retail square footage is completely divorced from the business of selling things? Its a significant and real metric in the retail world.
THe problem I have is the copyright side has already significantly stifled technology. I cant get my PC to dual output audio because of copyright. I dont think you understand the insidiousness of the media companies. They have been playing dirty pool for a CENTURY. Are you going to still be appeasing when they extend copyright again? Im not saying abolishment is the right or correct thing to do, but it shouldn't be off the table completely, given the nature and actions of its supporters.
And this changes your example how? Does it matter if 1 or a thousand minstrels learn the song? How does this change you having to perform as a minstrel to continue to eat? Because 1000 other minstrels are not performing your song, should you not have to perform anymore, living off minstrel royalties?
I agree with what you are saying, but what other choice is there but to call for total abolishment? The media cartels are using FORCE to keep things the way they are. They have pushed extremism at us for so long, the only possible response is equally extreme. So much energy has been spent protecting them its going to take a huge amount of counter-force to put an end to it.
I agree copyright isnt inherently evil, but its been made that way in the modern interpretation.
Shouldnt Volkswagen be forced to provide a timetable as to when this will be fixed so the temporary egregious act of suspending the First for this person can be lifted? It is Volkswagen's fault, they need to fix it now.
I think you are very wrong about your statement about no 'sane person' threatens to kill or rape in this particular manner. In fact i would say the vast majority of those comments are from legally sane people when correlated with the occurrence of insanity among the population. That is the problem, its an inherent human trait. Im not trying to defend these intellectual midgets, im just pointing out it doesnt take a medical malady to cause a human to spew bile at another. It is quite sane behavior. Impolite and assholish to the point of possibly being a crime, but sane.
ITs not just YouTube. Press Ctrl+o in Chrome and load up any h.264 movie and stream it to Chromecast. Netflix works flawlessly already, more apps will be coming fast. The dongle is not the product, the API that drives it is. There is going ot be a FLOOD of development for this thing. The problem with Apple TV is that it only works with Apple gear and its closed to small developers.. With Chromecast ANY computer running chrome can cast to it.
Good dominates by far. If not we would be consumed with killing each other all the time. We are not 'broken', we are growing up to be gods, its not always pretty. We'll get there. ITs discussions like this that expose our still child-like nature.
You miss the parts where your husband could beat you with impunity. Also, you better hope you are white and the right religion too otherwise the 50s was not the utopia you think it was.
The problem is, we are really only hearing about this because its a female, which adds some meta to the mix. Men get death threats ALL THE TIME, no one suggests we hunt down the perps for them.
Its CHEAP and backed by google. you would have more of a point if it werent so insanely cheap. I have lots of ways of getting video to my TVs I have an HDMi distribution panel that reaches every TV in the house, I have 3 win7 MCE DVRs, 3 Apple TVs + a mac mini that can stream anything to them., several Micca players, etc. I like Chromecast because its cheap, easy to use and I can slap one on every Tv for less then a single Apple TV. For the price, it represents a good value.
I think you underestimate how many people dont understand how to handle files AT ALL. My wife, a corporate professional of 20+ years will re-download the same.doc from the link in her email instead of going and finding the one she originally downloaded in her downloads folder. I'll find 8 copies of the same resume on her computer. She has no interest in learning how a computer works, or increasing her skill set. She, like most of humanity, wait for us to make it stupid simple for them. This is why Apple has spent the last decade abstracting the file system away.
There are no LEGAL reasons to surveil the people of the United States en mass. It doesnt matter how safe you want to feel, what you ask for is illegal and has been for a very long time. The word Papers in the 4th covers not just paper, but all communications from now until the heat death of the universe. Time or technology does not change these ideals
The Constitution was intended to be interpreted by the lay public. You dont have to be a lawyer to understand law and governance. Democracy means WE are the government. Having educated people point out the finer points of law is fine, but any layman can see the decisions the Supremes have made in regard to corporate citizenship, the commerce clause and FISA courts are very much opposed to the Constitution.
I just want to point out that computers are now starting to come with higher amp USB ports (plain USB 3.0 and also special ports designated high current) My Asus motherboards each have single AI Charger ports that provide at least 1A, the new Asus notebooks will even charge stuff while the laptop is off.

If you worked for one of the big 3 U.S. automakers, you drove American. In Detroit, LOTS of people wouldn't let a foreign car park in their driveway.
Apple makes more profit per square foot of retail space then ANY OTHER RETAILER IN THE U.S.

Stop with the ridiculous examples. Art's worth is measured in how it is received by the masses, not its creation cost.

STATESMEN and STATESWOMEN should be on bank notes, not artists.
Putting a WRITER on bank notes is weird. Stamps fine, but money should have Statesmen on them.

Visio bitches every time i run my Win 7 Boot camp install as a VM. It has to re-authenticate every single time.

Thats what the 2nd is for.
Upon reflection, Lich King really was the high point of the game. Hardcores and casuals alike marching on Arthas.
Dude, the ENTIRE game was balanced around the RMAH. Thats not gameplay, thats a slot machine.
