Situation 1: You own a car. Person B steals your car. You have no car. Person B now has it. Person B sells it. Profit for Person B. Person B is a thief.
Situation 2: You bought a license which authorizes you to use a car, which you paid for. Person B makes a copy of the car, which you own, but technically isn't your intellectual property. You still have "your" car. Person B has a copy of "your" car. You both drive a car. Person B could sell his copy of the car. You still have "your" car. Person B is not a thief. He just has no taste for wanting a copy of "your" Robin Reliant.
Yeah? So? Where are the facts? It's hardly descriptive. This is really one of those `What-If?' things. They should have just used the What If Machine.
What if SCO wins? What if Microsoft takes over Google? What if Gore won the election? What if Einstein wouldn't have been born? What if Linus was killed in a car crash? What if RMS was sane? What if the French won the war? What if Bender was really giant? What if life was more like a video game?

ML has admitted to have made a mistake and sacked those responsible for the sacking. The official line from ML is that the "values and opinions of the sackers are not in line" with the company's.
Well, almost right. The distration of talking to someone more than compensates for any increase in reaction time. Instead what will be mandatory will be at least 3 passengers all babbeling their heads off (preferable female, as they have superious talking performance) to other people on mobile phones, while you are free to concentrate on the road with your enhanced reaction time.
you had it easy! Ever since I came out of the womb I had to work in a copper mine, toiling away, working 36 hours a day, 9 days a week, 400 days a year! Then when we got home, our parents used to thrash us to bits with a broken bottle and dance on our graves singing "Halleluja"! Each and every day.
I wonder if they'll get any funding. NASA seems to have a plethora of ideas, but all you hear about is their budget being cut. So far ever Nigeria seems to be having a more solid space program.
I find it sad to hear you're dumping me for some sleazy database. What has that database to offer that I haven't? Is it that I've not paid much attention to you? Please, let us get back together!

How about a simple car analogy?
Situation 1:
You own a car. Person B steals your car. You have no car. Person B now has it. Person B sells it. Profit for Person B. Person B is a thief.
Situation 2:
You bought a license which authorizes you to use a car, which you paid for. Person B makes a copy of the car, which you own, but technically isn't your intellectual property. You still have "your" car. Person B has a copy of "your" car. You both drive a car. Person B could sell his copy of the car. You still have "your" car. Person B is not a thief. He just has no taste for wanting a copy of "your" Robin Reliant.
Don't worry, the government will be able to replace it with the click of a button.
This is apple zealots we're talking about. They care about appearence for some reason.
Well, it's all thanks to the training which IBM lawyers get.
Not bloody likely. More like a week supply.

Does it matter?
The other way around would probably be much more hilarious. "Puff Daddy gets busted for sharing Michael Bolton songs."
Maybe this is a Halloween scare? Please tell me Halloween is very soon!
It's harder to believe the other half has an IQ above 100.
Could you please stop hitting him on the head with your bat? Maybe that's one of the reason's he's braindead.

Sorry, but sharks are a protected species now. It was powered by ill tempered mutated sea bass with friggin' lasers on their heads.

Anyone remember X-34?
I do, he's married to this woman called Bernard.
