At that price, this good is so excludable they will have to use econoforensics to find the tard that would MSRP this book at that price-point. Perhaps they are shooting for the scholastic world, for what does price matter if it is required reading for a class (says the book publishers, anyways).
Perhaps I will just download a cybercopy with LimeWire. Oh wait.
Under the law, the fact that A committed and is responsible for action X does not imply that B is not also responsible.
Nor does it imply that B is responsible! If you use Slashdot as a forum for coordinating criminal activity, is Slashdot responsible? It is an easy way out to blame the tools, but it is the people who use the tools that are responsible. Should gasoline be banned because gasoline manufactures knowingly foster and enable the production of a chemical that could be used for illegal things? Hell no.
A chooses to commit action X.
Action X is illegal.
-----
A is responsible for committing illegal action X.
And somehow party B is responsible? Sure I can say the above logic doesn't imply that they are not also responsible, but that is like saying that because your user ID is 970822 it doesn't imply that your are not also a child molester.
DOWNLOADING OR SHARING COPYRIGHTED CONTENT WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION IS ILLEGAL.
Yes, that is correct. But how can they shut down LimeWire through the vicarious actions of its users? It is the user's who are responsible. They share the data. Unless LimeWire themselves is hosting the copyrighted bits, what are they doing wrong? If they provide some helper service for getting nodes connected, perhaps that is the 'gotcha'. But even then, if they are just managing connections, they still are not hosting the data (AFAIK).
Should we shutdown chat clients and protocols because they allow people to disseminate links to copyright infringed data?
Should we shutdown production of all copy machines because they could be used to infringe copyright?
Should we ban hard-drives because they could be used to store copy-righted data?
Should we ban the human-brain because it could retain the contents of a copyrighted document?
Re. Tard. Ed.
Also, does the injunction necessitate YELLING? I know the out-moded channels are scared and all, but that is just icing on the cake.

Thank you. It is simple as that. So many people after 9/11 beat the war drum, and now almost a decade later are horrified that bad things happen in war. I am not condoning or supporting the way the war has gone, but it is truly frustrating the way some folks just imagine bubble and sunshine and invasion before really considering the repercussions of their voting decisions (plebeians and bureaucrats alike).
War is nasty. Lets think this shit through next time. If diplomacy is not an option, and all other options have failed, and there will be an provable danger to us or our allies by not acting, then bomb the motherfuckers. Otherwise can we please just stay out of the rest of the world's business? Do it quickly, cleanly, with a solid plan, with an exit strategy, accomplish the goal, and move on. War cost money, and between the MID profiteering it, the globalist loving it, the extremist encouraging it, the only people that lose are the taxpayers and the unnecessary casualties.
Why is that so hard?
If our civilization overcomes the thread of annihilating itself, I hope dearly that it becomes peaceful and moves away from dogmatic BS and more towards science and reason. I don't care if it is after I am dead. I just would sleep better knowing that the human race will make it over the next 1000 years. It really doesn't look so good. I don't think the idiots can handle the fruits of the scientist labor in a responsible manner.
It's too bad Wikileaks has such an obvious agenda. I like the idea of them, but that the same time, knowing they have such a clear agenda, makes me wonder what they decide not to release because it doesn't flow with what they want the world to think.
Why is it too bad? What the fuck are you talking about? Would you rather have them have a hidden agenda? Like the government bullshit they expose?
The US around the world (and its mini me Israel) stand for only injustice, pain, suffering, oppression, torture, murder, evil.
Same could be said for a dozen other countries. China. North Korea. Iran. Somalia. Uganda. Etc
Americans are complicit in all their government does since they do not stop it.
That is vague. Americans in general are not for the above statements. It is the global interest and reigning plutocracy that has led us to the state of New Rome. Because of the wealth gap, money buys power, and the wealth distribution controls what really happens in America. I am not talking about middle upper class folks, I am talking about the old money families with hundreds of millions. New money not so much, but old money, they do what ever they can to really maintain the status-quo and expand their empire, and they do it through lobbyist and all the classical 'morally corrupt' things you can think of.
You may argue that my counter is vague as well, in response I provide my citation, read The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy. It summarizes our situation (the world as well) and sites hundreds of legitimate references.
Elections are coming up... if you vote for a Democrat or Republican you are guilty of all the crimes revealed in these documents (and more). Stop voting for the single party rule which just equals more of the same. If you want your vote to count, vote Libertarian, Peace and Freedom, Green, independent, etc.
I agree. Now why couldn't you be as civil in your first paragraph? The immediate soapbox flaming is a good way to get modded into oblivion.

If only there was a website where we could learn about such things.
Lately it's all about the US government, and the wars. It's not the kind of information that most of us find interesting
You are speaking for yourself on that one.
There was a time when wikileaks would just dump any and all information onto the site and let us review it all.
That hasn't changed.
Julian Assange should have let someone else be the spokesperson.
Who and why?
It should have been designed so that there was not one point of failure.
You have fallen into the propaganda. One man doesn't a leaking organization make. Sure, in the eyes of people who buy into the character assassination, yes he may lost credibility, but honestly those folks don't matter in my opinion.
Game over for wikileaks, it was a naive idea that could never have worked in practice
It did work in practice. You say 'could have never' like the didn't successfully leak thousands of documents already.
What did he actually do wrong? Are you suggesting there would have been a better person to put their face on the leaks? He is the fucking messenger. The fucking messenger. Going celebrity was his exit plan. Your pessimism makes you THAT GUY.
Once Open Office (particularly Calc) can compete with Microsoft in terms of performance, stability, and features, then and only then will Microsoft need to worry about Open Office.

See the disconnect?
As found by the court, they had profited by knowingly fostering and enabling copyright infringement.
By that logic, all IRC channels and usage should be banned because botnet proprietors profit from using them to control their hordes.
Get real.
