"Fearing the worst, and getting no help from the social networking site, she went straight to the press who might offer some help."
She took it public.
"if this had been a private notification it would have been a simple dispute"
So, I guess then you're pissed at her now?
Or are you going to fall back on the old "well if Myspace hadn't fucked up in the first place" ploy, that completely ignores the fact that, as you said, had she not gone public herself no one but her would know why her page was taken down.
And to all the trolls planning to claim that "people would know", Myspace pages get taken down for all kinds of things apart from being a sex offender, most of which are totally innocuous.
"he said he has a right to keep his personal information secret."
He also said we have a right to copy "WHATEVER THE HELL WE LIKE"
The first statement was intended to qualify the second.
So call as many names as you like, you're wrong and you know it. And you're posting AC because you want to verbally abuse me while not being held responsible for your actions, mostly because you know you're wrong and can't do anything but toss around insults.
I've alwyays wondered something, and you appear perfectly qualified to answer.
Are you aware that you're insane? I suspect most forms of insanity reduce the individuals ability to recognize that they are insane, is that true for you?
"I still don't know what point you think you were refuting."
I told you this already. Pay attention, wait I told you THAT too.
"You're obviously not interested in having a frank discussion, that's what makes you the troll."
Hmmm, that's funny I was frank and honest, and YOU resorted to calling names AFTER you said something wrong and stupid.
I guess that's what you do when you're making an idiot of yourself, call other people a troll to end the discussion because you know you're outclassed.
Because you were wrong and made a ridiculous point that needed refutation.
Funny how it's MY fault that you were too stupid to bother discerning who you were actually replying to. As I said, indicative of the level of care you take.
"You decide Penguin is going to make your copies for you. They give you some money. They sell me some copies. Copyright law does not give you the right to take those books away from me."
First, I never said they did. Second, where did the original permission come from for the original copies...
YOU think real hard, and you'll realize why YOU'RE wrong.
And stop claiming I made an argument I never made.
"Way to equate people who value freedom over "more creative works" as pirates."
You are. Color it however you like, it is what it is.
"You didn't even get the concept of copyright correct. It's not "who gets copies", it's "who gets to make the copies".
So, by controlling who gets to make the copies you're not controlling who has copies? Oh wait, YES YOU ARE.
Copyright law is screwy, but advocates like you who rattle of nonsense like you did here are the worst possible thing for those of us who want copyright reform.
I think your point depends entirely on the reason and rationality of a group of people, a significant portion of which refer to the ball of rock we're on as "mother earth".
Pretending that the "environmental" movement isn't overpopulated with wackos, who we hear from regularly, is completely disingenuous.
"Anyway, what do you think is gonna happen as the US dollar (inevitably) devalues?"
The market will correct and life will go on. You're new to this whole economics thing aren't you? I love watching you US haters pretend that your wishes are anywhere near reality.
"The 'Hi def' channels look similar to 720p but with noticeable compression, and the occasional dropped frame. If someone were really looking for full 1080i HD, highest possible quality, I'd have some reservations recommending it."
This entire sentence betrays such a fundamental misunderstanding of HDTV technology that I would consider any recommendation by you in this regard to be completely worthless.

"Oh yeah, the land you live on may simply have been stolen from natives."
How can you steal land from someone who doesn't believe that land can be owned?

So call as many names as you like, you're wrong and you know it. And you're posting AC because you want to verbally abuse me while not being held responsible for your actions, mostly because you know you're wrong and can't do anything but toss around insults.
But you're still wrong and so was he.
I own you.
I've alwyays wondered something, and you appear perfectly qualified to answer.
Are you aware that you're insane? I suspect most forms of insanity reduce the individuals ability to recognize that they are insane, is that true for you?
"Actually, no, they couldn't. That's the problem."
So you're saying weakening the structural supports of a building couldn't result in those supports collapsing?
Why would anyone give you the time of day after making an obviously ridiculous claim like that.
His initial statement was made with no qualifiers, and then he added qualifiers when he realized he was wrong.
Now YOU know why YOU'RE wrong too.
"WHATEVER THE HELL WE LIKE"
I know you don't like that you're wrong, but that changes nothing.
"I don't see an accusation of hypocracy being justified"
Re-read his response until you realize why you're wrong.
And I'm the one being abusive?
Again, typical of the care you give in crafting your opinions, that is, none.
Owned.
"You butted in on a conversation that I wasn't having with you."
WTF? YOU'RE ON A PUBLIC FORUM MORON! What an idiotic attempt at a point.
"So yeah, I'm going to stop talking to you now."
Of course you are, you made an idiot of yourself, blamed it on me, made stupid excuses, and then now you run like a bitch. Exactly what I'd expect.
"And when it became obvious to you that I had mistaken you for the original poster you didn't point it out."
That's a fucking lie, a soon as you made it clear I told you. So you're stupid and a liar. Go figure.

You know, the more I think about the more I can't figure out, why is it MY fault you're too fucking stupid to know who you're replying to?
Why be a cunt about it when it's obvious you fucked up?
Because you were wrong and made a ridiculous point that needed refutation.
Funny how it's MY fault that you were too stupid to bother discerning who you were actually replying to. As I said, indicative of the level of care you take.
"Fuckin' troll."
At least you were nice enough to sign your post.
"You made the statement:"
Nope, someone else did. I didn't even agree with it.
This is an great example of the level of care you take when forming your opinions, that is, none.
In the future, pay closer attention.
Talk to Mr. "Whatever the hell we like" about that, he said it. If he wanted to add qualifiers, he shouldn't have said "whatever the hell we like".
No no, you said, and I quote
"I believe copying whatever the hell we like is a natural right that everyone has.."
and now that he has you in a vice, you're adding qualifiers. He's right, you're a hypocrite.
"You decide Penguin is going to make your copies for you. They give you some money. They sell me some copies. Copyright law does not give you the right to take those books away from me."

When someone like the parent posts something completely wrong and gets modded to +5.
Fun read, totally ridiculous and inaccurate, but fun.

"We can drive five Priuses for the amount of gasoline used by one Hummer or Escalade or Yukon"
No, actually you can't. You are a liar, and if you think otherwise, check your MPG numbers.
What's the point of posting an argument when your argument is based on lies?
"Anyway, what do you think is gonna happen as the US dollar (inevitably) devalues?"
