I suspect that for now this will only apply to CBC programs, since they are government funded and are trying to fulfill their mandate to make their programming accessible to everyone as easily as possible.
Of course, the more people take off their foil hats and the more the idea spreads, the greater becomes the potential for abuse. Assuming, of course, that there were no abuses in the first case.
If the odds of being caught, and the consequences, were more inline with, say, shoplifting, would they still do so? Doubtful.
There's no reason for the odds and consequences to be in line with shoplifting, because the negative effect on the offended party isn't in line between copyright infringement and shoplifting.
It's not reasonable to over-punish something and then claim it's wrong because almost nobody does it.
I don't think he's trying to use minority as a pejorative. His point seems to be that even if Red Hat and Oracle don't fit into his description, most FOSS does.
Electrons in the beam often actually "knock" the electrons out of the lower orbit, and then another electron from a higher orbit drops into the vacated space, and emits a characteristic X-Ray of energy equal to the energy difference between the two orbital shells. A drop from any orbital to any lower orbital of any element has emits a distinct X-Ray, but many are extremely close together and can lead to mistakes, and it is very slow to collect enough X-Rays to make a reasonable reading, at least on the equipment I used.
All this to say that the correct word was, in fact, 'emit'.
No reason it needs to be incorporated in the UK. Global economy and all that. You know it isn't all UK content holders that caused this in the first place.
I would argue that the reason what is produced now is prevalently crap is because it's mostly produced for money rather than the joy of creating. This goes hand in hand with the fact that so many people like "Indie" or local bands, since those bands are doing it for very little pay because they want to, so they can just make what they consider good, rather than what appeals to 13 year old girls (the highest spending demographic). There are no risks involved in creativity if you aren't going to be well paid no matter what.
Here in Canada, we vote on paper ballots, which are hand-counted in the presence of party representatives. We've also not generally had controversy around our voting process ala Florida.
When we show the same respect and admiration for the effort of the last-place finisher in the 10K, or the basketball team that loses by 50, or the skier who falls, as we do for the gold medal winners, then we'll have done our part to remove part of the motivation/temptation that drives doping.
As well as the motivation/temptation that drives sports.
The findings, which are reported in the Journal of Adolescent Health, support earlier research which showed that children who watch violent television shows and who identify with the characters and believe they are real are more likely to be aggressive as adults.
In other words, kids whose parents don't teach them about reality tend to be influenced by the media. No kidding.

Anyone who can get part 3 should have no problems with 1 and 2.

They often lock people in with long contracts that prevent switching or cancelling of service on penalty of significant fees.

An SEM directs an electron beam at the sample. Are we thinking about the same instrument? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_electron_microscope#Scanning_process
