    You have to compare that to what he normally gets paid to write a book to decide if it is a "waste of time" or not.

    "confuse people into thinking that the infringement of copyright carries exactly the same consequences as shoplifting or other deprivation of physical property"

    As it stands, you'd get in less trouble for stealing a CD then copyright infringement

    He should not have said "Everyone". It opens up for responses like yours. A better thing to have said was that "most" do "Crazy stuff" when they are young. That way, the people that have never run with scissors don't need to chime in.

    I could see people wanting to have a unique character in a FPS. People always want ot be noticed. A lot of hardcore gamers do it for the recognition.

    MAny MMO's could be profitable. However, it seesm that instead of making great games for a nitch market, companies are more interested in making the next "WoW".

    How do they "encourage equal opportunity"? By making it available to everyone who is willing to put X number of hours into the game? Not everyone has the sameamount of free time. How more "equal opportunity" then making it available for X number of hours, or X dollar amount? Some people have more money, and others have more time. Some have both, and other neither. Making something available for cash, and removing the time sink does nto make it any less equal. If anything, it makes it far more equal because it is opening it up for peopel to obtain the items the best way they can.

    (For the record, the site is nothing that would predispose it to FireFox users over IE users. Unless you count video game players as "pre-disposed".)

    depends on the types of video games. IF the games require one to upgrade their hardware, then yeah. They are going to be more tech savy and perhaps more likely to change from IE to FirFox.
