Secondly, selling out of the used albums may indicate to record owners that there's demand for the full albums.
Perfect.... Here's my diabolical plan:
1) I will infiltrate the RIAA's ranks to find out which used stores they monitor. ( You guys may not hear from me for a while).
2) I will go to these stores and buy up albums like this,
this, and this.
3) Upon seeing the popularity of these titles, the RIAA will have no choice but to reprint them at great cost.
4) Next I will watch their empire collapse, all because of me!!!!!!
5) Step 4 was my profit!!
Red-5, goin' in mutha fuckas!!!! mwehahahahahah!!!!!1!
No, I'm afraid you just don't get it. We aren't really trying to make them get our point, i.e. reason with them anymore. I don't care if they think more lost sales == more piracy. I just want them to go out of business, I could care less what they think about me while they are doing it.
Dude, didn't they have the black lightning notes when you were there? Paid note takers took notes and sold them as a service through the school, but only if the prof. agreed. Like custom Cliff's notes.
So all I have to do to completely circumvent the constitution and/or any privacy law is to accuse someone of breaking a law? Suppose your post made me angry. Suppose I want to hunt you down. Suppose I accuse you of doing bad things to children just to find out who you are. Suppose ur fucked.
Or perhaps you have delivered some sort of dedicated machine that is contractually bound to be in a constant configuration, or at least require human review before applying configuration changes (medical, military). It is not up to MS to decide that no such machines exist with access to the web.
My bet is that people will avoid buying these in droves simply because they can't find a CD slot on their cellphones. Imagine the customer support calls? "Hello, tech support."
"Please help, I am being chased by an avoidance drove..."
Like you wouldn't if you were on an island of "soverign territory" in the middle of a foriegn country. Obviously, the prudent thing to do is to let all of your communication with your home country be wide open. How about this bridge I got for you?
Two wrongs don't make a right? Who the F are you to say I'm wrong for how I surf the web? I don't remember joining any contract with these web-devs, so again, who the F are you to say I'm wrong here?
Get over yourself.
Well I don't really want to spend all my time and energy worrying about what online sites will do with my info. Perhaps it is fine for you, but I have other things to do. I think it is a very good thing to bitch and whine about these sort of things. Complacency with this sort of B.S., or an "I'm smart enough to avoid it, so it's your fault" attitude will only lead to more of the same. I, for one, would rather express my discontent LOUDLY as early on as possible.
There are lots of alternatives to Amazon, which is the Wal-Mart of the book sales industry. For example Powell's Books. Who buys books on Amazon anyway?
If the joe public must pay for everything, so must they. Yeah, right. Legislators don't work for joe public anymore. Any guess who the highest bidder is?

all of your satellite locations are be known by us.

...maybe I'll never have to get one now. Then again, they'll come up with something more invasive that doesn't cause cancer soon enough.
Or how about the right to continue to milk some outdated business model at our expense?
Ouch. A slap of common sense! Well put.
You mean the interstates are like a series of trucks?
You are reading too much into this.... Wheelchairs have always been controlled by the mind.... indirectly
Millions of what, satellite overlords?

No thanks, but I will take this
Stories like this make me want to "save gas" and shop on teh interwebs.
I'd rather have the cellular data. Thousand of individual data points reporting their location vs. a device that captures/analyzes traffic data.
How did I go from insightful to troll? I stand by what I said, didn't say it to invite an argument, WTF?
