Oe world stage were like a school then the USA would be a bunch of arsehole bullying jocks and Australia would be a little nerdy kid doing whatever they tell them to in hope that they may get recognition.
Oh, that's that kid in the corner of the world stage, surrounded by those guys in full tactical gear (sporting tags on their backs like "NSA", "RIAA", "USTR" and "MPAA") jumping in the air while punching himself in the face!
I can hardly believe, but am willing to stand corrected, that such a large majority of Australians are actually against strong encryption to protect themselves from snooping by, among others, their own government. Is this a sign of a messed-up electoral system (first past the post or first past the post plus)? Or do these governments want to grant themselves these abilities, abusing the democratic process?
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to have some money in the bank
If you're going to San Francisco
You're going to meet some large expenses there
For those who come to San Francisco
Payin' the rent will be a worry there
In the streets of San Francisco
Young people, grey showing in their hair
All across the nation
Come see that abberation
People in trouble
There's a whole generation
With really no explanation
People in trouble
People in trouble
For those who come to San Francisco
Payin' the rent will be a worry there
In the streets of San Francisco
Young people, grey showing in their hair
What do Mr. West, Coldplay and Adele all have in common? Their greed driving people back to piracy. Just when you thought that they finally began to understand what their fans = customers want... but they cannot see for the big dollar signs in their eyes obscuring their vision.
Think again. Trudeau is as deep in Big Business' pocket as Harper was. CETA is going to pass, and so is TPP. Just need to find the right spin. And don't think the NDP would do any better, after all, they welcomed and supported the copyright term extension on sound recordings.
It's even worst than we could ever have imagined. According to security researcher Chros Didd of the American Association for Prevention of Malware (AAPM), actually ANY pirated Hollywood movie (1) puts your computer at great risk of hackers, (2) funds terrorism and (3) aids and abets child molestation and exploitation.
Maybe you can design some kind of metal mesh on strategic places around your drone that carries a high voltage, enough to give the bird something to think about?
It's obvious where that dark side feeling comes from; Di$ney (c)orporation. I should have expected to find them holding the fans' leash. I recognized their foul stench as soon as I read the headline.
See, that's how much the media have been bombarding me with their veiled pro-copyright propaganda. When reading "rights groups" I have to immediately think about groups allied with entities like RIAA, MPAA, etc. That's why it looked so weird... rights groups being pro-consumer? Getting past the headline clarified things, but still. That "rights groups" in my mind automatically means "pro-copyright" is terrifying.
Change the copyright term retroactively to 10 years with two possible 10-year extensions (the first one quite reasonably priced, the second quite expensive to prevent frivolous extensions) and this won't be a problem. Remember, since people holding copyrighted works saw their investments diminished in value because of retroactive copyright extensions, in many cases delaying public domain status until after their own deaths, a retroactive copyright term reduction should also be without compensation.
...and it has been 50 years since it was first signed, 5 days after Geronimo's surrender to General Miles at Skeleton Canyon, AZ. And it's still haunting us today, as the House of Copyright Cards is built upon that card. Time this pile came crashing down and get in line with the 21st century.
Mexico, where it's 100 years. And in TPP the US copyright lobby was successful to trade away other people's interests so they could get their Entire-Remaining-Lifetime-of-Author_PLUS_70-Years as well in places like Canada. But Mexico is the most likely excuse.
This is not so different from the Warez CDs that were available in pre-Internet ages (those were actual pressed CDs). People used to pass them around so you could copy off them what you liked, then pass them on/give them back, etc. Later on you saw them on burned CDRs as well, but with the rollout of broadband Internet these disappeared/became obsolete.
But even though it's in Cuba, Clinton (the male, not the female) somehow managed to come up with an exception to the blanket embargo.... for copyright purposes. Yes, in 1995, at which time of course the US government was already heavily indebted to the copyright industry like they are today.
This would also assume that those "later generations" in fact still exist on Earth or any other body in the Solar system. That may not be the case, due to either a man-made (environmental, genetic, "singularity", war, religious "I kill you!" craziness) or natural disaster that wipes out humanity.
This is about copyrights actually expiring thus "unlocking" the material from the equivalent of the Disney Vault (_citation_) so to speak; oh, if I only had a dollar for every person on Earth that does not know copyrights have an expiration date...
That being said, in still Pre-TPP Canada, our expiration date is "only" half a century after the entire remaining lifespan of the author, so in this (and in many, many others) Mein Kampf has been in the public domain for two decades, and I don't see a large National Socialist Canadian Worker's Party.
I am a representative of the Cult of the O2, a/k/a Oxygenians and we have a good faith believe that you are in possession of some of our cultural artifacts, i.e. oxygen molecules, consisting of 2 oxygen atoms each, present in or near your lungs as well as your blood stream. We demand the immediate return of these cultural artifacts and demand you cease and desist obtaining any further specimens of O2 molecules.
The man obtained the photo's legally and with consent. The person changing their mind well after the fact is like a person claiming "I was raped for the full duration of our relationship because I no longer consent."
Isn't that more or less what they were pulling on Julian Assange? Somebody changed their mind "after" (i.e. when the other girlfriend became known to her) making it "rape" in Sweden?
Remember the corporate police force out of Robocop? In the UK they have a corporate police force, being the City of London Corporation's private police force. And they kick in doors all over the country, together with other corporate representatives (and sometimes a token member of the local police force, to add legimitacy and not to step too much on their toes).
Say what? “The Last Starfighter was a financial success, earning over $28 million on an estimated budget of $15 million.
Except that the people in Atari believe TLS was going to be the next Star Wars. The movie didn't exactly live up to that expectation, so in that sense it was a "flop", a profitable one, but no craziness like Star Wars did.

The N56U is still adequate for many uses, but does not receive any security updates anymore. That's where the real problem is.

Well at least we know Kevin Hart is doing his own tweets!

Just use the Canadian French (Bilingual) keyboard in France as well. Simple comme bonjour.
But.. again.. royal PITA to setup and the documentation is scattered and horrible to read through.
Why oh why couldn't Snowden dump some of the more useful documents the NSA has? ;cP

Good Day Sir.

Thank you for your immediate cooperation.

Whatever the joke, now you need a couple more, to break the DRM scheme.
