It seems that certain police officers are part of the problem. If it were not possible for small-minded bullies to be handed power, most of these problems wouldn't occur.
It seems that an evolving military-industrial-complex business model would look for ways to find more customers. Altering the product slightly so-as to be able to sell to domestic' peace-keepers' appears to meet that goal.
...and I'm sure the long term effects of overloading your sensitive, incredibly difficult and costly to regrow optic nerves to this degree are well known, and this represents no long term danger. right?
No need for concern - there'll be extensive in-the-field trials carried out... at the next G20 summit.
I absolutely love my Logitech MX Revolution, which is in the same series as the previous great mouses MX 1000 etc. They are so much nicer and better to use than just some cheap office mices. On the other hand, I also have one Razer mouse that was supposedly good for gaming, but I like my MX Revolution more. Like usual expensive doesn't always mean great, but great mouses can get expensive. Likewise I love my Logitech G19 gaming keyboard with macro keys, led etc. It improves your usability a lot.
Isn't it traditional to procure astroturfing accounts months before they're needed so as to not attract attention?
Yeah, but think about those bastard aliens who are pirating songs from radio signals. They should pay up too. You have to consider the GDP of the universe!
At $75 Trillion, I'd say they've already considered this...
yes I pirated a lot (via the primitive 2k modems of the day), but so what? There's no way I could have purchased those things legally, even if I wanted to.
So... because we own a chunk of contemporary culture - you are to be excluded from participation unless you pay the tax. Do not borrow music from friends. Do not lend your music to friends. Do not link to music as part of a discussion. DO NOT!
Nobody has to pay them for what they produce. That may result in them taking control of the legal system and forcing everyone to pay, but that's how the free market works.
I'm pretty sure you can both build a new death-star and have sharks with lasers for less than $75 Trillion. Clearly there's someone even more needy on the board.
Either you are going to figure out how to fix your own problems through innovation or you are going to die
They have. These days they don't bother waiting for customers to purchase their products, they use the legal system to extract the money from whoever has it - regardless or right.
Are the laws around filesharing right now stupid? Absolutely. But let's have an honest conversation about that.
Nope. If I have control of the rules of the game and try to force everyone to play along for my own profit, why would they?
Let's have a conversation about the blatant elephant in the room - corruption which has left the legal system nothing more than a tool crafted by corporations to ensure a steady stream of payments.
Uhh. My understanding is that Limewire make software which enables filesharing.
Do knife-manufacturers pay costs when someone uses one of their products in a unintended manner? No, MAFIAA, I'm not hilighting an unexploited opportunity.
OMG our business model doesn't fit with the world as it is today. Sue everyone! twice! Ask for bailout money. Waaaaaah.
I guess that when your target customer is retarded enough to hang out of a moving plane with an iPwn in an open pocket, they need to make 'em bouncy.

It's only one day. Digg-readers have to put up with this shit for the rest of the year.
Battle of the astro-turfers or honest opinion? Only you, dear reader, can say.

I guess not :D
@technologizer.com Any press is good press.
Noone cares - how about starving them of column-inches instead and start reporting on something worthwhile.
Oh wait, you can't - you're too busy scurrying around trying to sweep up money.
At $75 Trillion, I'd say they've already considered this...
Nice strawman - everyone knows that lawyers don't have hearts...
Yah. I'm guessing that the penalty for printing money is many orders of magnitude less than that for copying mp3s.

I hope someone paid royalties to upload that movie-scene and soundtrack :D

I'm pretty sure there's a typo in the summary. It should read $75 Trillion per mp3.
Uhh... PizzaAnalogyGuy is that you?
That takes 'will it blend' to a new level. Someone make a website, quick!
No.
