You're not versed on tax law so wtf makes you think you can even state they are pushing the bounds?
Indeed. He shows the height of presumption to suggest Microsoft would ever operate anywhere near the boundary of a law. Let's make him furnish citations of any such tendency.
All PS3s made everywhere play PS1 games (although regions are enforced).
60 and 20 GB US launch models had hardware PS2 BC. European 80 GB launch model and first US 80 GB model had RSX hardware and Emotion Engine software BC. Regions were enforced.
But since there are several million PS3s out there with hardware BC, they are already doing those tasks. They haven't disabled it in the launch consoles.
Christ, that was at the beginning of the third age.
Mordor is a bedroom community now, and Mount Doom's a cheesy drive by tourist trap with a mini mall. The rent-a-cops do get all pissy when you throw shit in though.
They probably are quite scared to do that as it would open up the ability for people to play PS3 games under hacked conditions, with all that entails. And may violate some blu-ray consortium rules as well, for all I know.
Are you the same troll or a different one? How many here would say the penalty for your hypothetical situation should be 800 billion dollars? I would wager it would be a lot less than the number of asshats like you that think this is a valid penalty.
She is only responsible for the copies that people downloaded directly from her. Additional copies downloaded from those people are their responsibility, not hers.
Why is it their downfall? They are raking in large profits by selling a large percentage of the premium priced laptops.
People who think this is them failing either just don't like Apple for one reason or another, or want Apple's products, but are unwilling to pay the price, and therefore conclude they could be doing better by serving the whole market. It sounds like you are one of the latter, but since they are doing pretty well, I am not sure why you consider them to be "failing".
Apple (and I) completely agree with your post, but not with the gp's. Apple's profits are huge, and, while less, on the same order of magnitude as MS'.
They achieve this by not courting customers like you.
If they tried, they would likely NOT pummel MS, as MS is great at that game, and plays it to win.

Nope.The cover was newsstand copies only, so they'll just continue to pick the issues they want.
Do those conclusions factor in any added sales from increased exposure due to the downloading?
If not, then it probably isn't hurting the industry at all, more like helping them, as many contend.
There are some efforts to at least educate people about it. Saw this piece from Dove soap in a similar thread recently:

On the other hand, I love the whole idea of gasbags as a means of transport,
Indeed. Far superior to our present use as a means of government.
Did anyone else think they ought to paint the thing pink and brown so it looked like a giant flying hot-dog-in-a-bun?
I've seen roving police patrols stopping motorists coming in who have what looks to be a vehicle full of new consumer goodies.
Why? Is there seriously some sort of state law against buying goods out of state?
Do they?

Blue&white powermacs (1999) have ADB as well as USB.
Firefox does not directly cost MS revenue like OO would.
"pay up your licensing or you will be audited"
That is a small step up from "pay up or we will sue you." at least.
Slim?
Time to remake this then:

The 20 GB US launch model had it as well. It was missing card readers and wifi, but it had everything else the 60GB had.
But since there are several million PS3s out there with hardware BC, they are already doing those tasks. They haven't disabled it in the launch consoles.

No one voted for Jesse because he's a publicity seeking clown with a poorly hidden history of corruption.
Now Sharpton I might have voted for just in the hope of seeing that hair on our money some day.
It is if you take the door off.

Confirmation that trolls cannot read. Please quote where NYCL said the proper fine was $.99 per song.

So yeah, still an individual.
Amex used to be 5 or 6%. I don't know their current rate.
