Yes, and after they have profited for a while it should enter into the public domain and become part of culture.
However, the entertainment industries have warped that into something that protects the profits of corporations and benefit the NON-CREATIVE executives, marketers etc. who spihon off most of the money the customer wants to pay to the artist.
Yeah, I used MacTheRipper to make region-free copies of my region 1 DVDs, since at a point I did not use a region-free player. Now that I do have one I have stopped ripping them.
(I have also stopped buying them, but that is just because I have a stack of 200 DVDs that have accumulated as I have been too busy with World of Warcraft. Now that is a culprit if the industry is looking for a reason for lower sales.)
It is a government organization that is undercutting a private company by selling its products and services at cost.
BULLSHIT ALERT! If they were undercutting they would operate at a LOSS. The private company you speak of CHOSE not to do business in that area, but apparently changed their minds once a competitor arose. Remember: The world does not owe you a success in business, the world does not owe you a profit - in fact, in a perfectly competitive market EVERYONE sells goods and services at cost because a price with a profit margin represents a price that a competitor can sell cheaper than by forfeiting said profit margin. Go back to Economy 101.
It is lobbying to make laws that will hamper a competitor - either it is one owned directly or indirectly by people - that is anti-competitive.

But little did they know the paper had edges as sharp as a razor blade...
Read the story again, it is the filter that is biased...
That said, if you want unbiased news coverage... do you also ask news stations not to demonise e.g. child molesters but present their views and justifications for their actions as well as the "biased" hatred from, well, everyone else?
I am waiting for Toyota to talk about the "BMW Tax".
Oh, wait, they are not going to because it is SILLY to name your competitor because then they will think of the competitor. Toyota ads and campaigns therefore talk about Toyota brands and products.
So, hey, Microsoft, keep mentioning Apple and Macs. Put those names into people's minds. Heck, you hardly have any brands left yourself...
From what science on the subject I have seen, it is more likely to be hormonal (mother's immune system reacting to the "alien" male outgrowth) than genetic. This follows from a higher probability of being a gay male if you have a big brother.
*sigh* Obama's powers are at the federal level so it was IMPLICIT that he was talking about federal taxes, just like when someone tells you the year is 2009 you do not need to ask BC or AD. Unless you want to look like a total doofus.
Yes they should be forbidden in the same way that if I walk into a store and choose between buying a CD and a DVD and go for the DVD, the music publisher does not get to ask the movie company for money for the "lost sale". You see, it does not MATTER what is the reason someone chooses not to buy something.
But the people downloading could be charged with unlicensed copying of the ONE copy they make. That is their crime. "Not buying" is not a crime, the world does not owe anyone success in business.
The world does not owe anyone success in business. And in this case the record companies are doing their usual guild/trust thing so they are not interested in selling it to him so there is not even the normal "loss" of a sale to a "pirate".
Anyway: Comparing unlicensed copying of the electronic representation of copyrighted works to ANYTHING involving physical items = instant FAIL.
Plus, originally U.S. copyright law only applied to works created in the States, foreign stuff was not covered so under those laws he would have been safe anyway...
Waterfall is about writing a bunch of prose that hopefully captures most needs, sending the prose off to some fucking monastery where undisturbed Software Priests do something and out pops a big monolithic system and if it ends up as something the customer still wants and/or the users actually like is random chance. Waterfall does not say shit about unit testing, refactoring etc. i.e. it ignores most advances in computer science the last thirty years. Waterfall is DEATH.
You have NO understanding of real agile, whether XP, Scrum or Lean. Agile (at least in the Scrum way) is about the customer NOT knowing what he wants and the customer changing his mind throughout the project. It reflects REALITY. Computer scientists are no longer the suit or white coat-wearing "wizards" of old. Wake up.
Note I don't believe Atheism is legitimate - because you can't prove the absence of something.
Why do we need to prove the non-existence of something we do not entertain the possibility of existing? Of course we do not go around proving the absence of gods - we do not need to, since it is the presence that would be provable. I mean, since you cannot prove the non-existence of unicorns, do you frown on people who categorically state that unicorns do not exist as well?
Atheism is of course legitimate since it is something else than what you postulate - it is the absence of belief in gods. To say that an atheist actively "un-believes" (i.e. tries to prove non-existence) is a bit like saying someone who do not have a hobby collecting stamps or anything else is actively "un-collecting".
No, the HUNDREDS of other people in this discussion pointing out that Moonlight is trailing Silverlight feature-wise and that Silverlight 2.0 code CAN NOT run on Moonlight currently, have not forgotten Moonlight.

The difference is that assigning to href adds to the history, replace() "overwrites" the current history entry.

Plus, all prices are in the same currency! There is no option in U.S. stores to use Euro or Japanese Yen. It is an outrage! U.S. Mint has a monopoly!

No, croporations are like "I shall now speak of the wheat, and all its glories visited upon us! etc."
And a couple of months for you for quoting it.

Pratfalls are funny to the observers, not to the falling person. Humans find mirth in the suffering of others. DEAL WITH IT.

Actually, the Italians are great drivers; they have to be to avoid accidents in such a chaotic traffic full of crazy drivers...
