    The system we have is great. It is so complicated that only the worthy may escape the maze.

    Daddy, will you treat me a bedtime story?

    I'm sorry Julie, the copyright cartels won't allow reproduction of works they have the rights to.

    Prefer it to what?

  7. TickBox devices are nothing more than "tool[s] for mass infringement," which operate by grabbing pirated video streams from the Internet

    Thanks for drawing our attention to this product in such a kind display of altruism.

    It would have been even more considerate if your 'complaint' contained a 'Where to buy' section.

    Best regards,

    Because.... Accountants don't want that and their progression has leverage?

    Did I win?

    with many large companies, there is no straightforward way for a member of the public to contact someone who is directly responsible for these kinds of issues, which are rising in importance

    Surely you can't be suggesting that someone with authority dirty themselves by communicating with a *disgusted expression* customer ?

    When you buy the car it is yours to mess with - including breaking it or spoofing the locks.

    Ye olde-worlde definition of ownership. Ahhh, fond memories.

  14. Please accept my apologies for assuming that you're American :D

    *bows and scrapes out of sight*

  15. It seems as though the history of your country is nothing BUT covert attacks on the people by powerful interests. Why single out one person?

  16. According to a google search,

    Treason
    the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.

    So, aren't *you* demonstrating treasonous behavior? Just saying :P

    When there's conflict, the law which benefits the party with the greatest financial resources takes precedence. System working correctly. No problem.

    How is it a problem? People controlling (large amounts of) other people's money make the laws and so by (legal) definition cannot be in the wrong. Land of the free.

    Ok. I've read enough to know that this product is a solution to a non-existent problem.

    Now for a real problem. My finger isn't three pixels wide and so it's almost impossible to touch the close bar which reappears after every post back on the mobile Slashdot. Meaning that I then inadvertently register my 'interest' in whichever ad (wider than three pixels) is currently showing. How can I make my finger three pixels wide or alternate solution?
