That's not the point of enforcing the law. You don't leave thieves, embezzlers or whatever alone because there's a lot more of them out there. You catch the ones you can.
And more specific to these cases, the industry isn't concerned with ending all copyright infringement, they're concerned with it becoming (more) mainstream. Remove some of the major trackers/sources, a few high publicity lawsuit campaigns, and then "why don't you just download it" becomes "why not just buy it".
In April, Fredrik Neij , Gottfrid Svartholm Warg , Peter Sunde and Carl Lundström were found guilty of being accessories to crimes against copyright law
Poor copyright law, he didn't get out of the hospital for 2 weeks. I don't think he'll ever be the same.
Some people might like to receive the news on pieces of paper at their home for convenience's sake. He could offer a pricing model whereby they commit to a certain number of months- and it could be called a subscription.
He explains in the video that most of his readers couldn't afford that.
And are you confident, given the current level of lobbying, that the U.S. government won't pass the "Comprehensive, Affordable, Reliable, Effective Health Act"? I mean who would vote against the C.A.R.E health act that's "designed to lower health premiums for hard working American families"?
You might be surprised how much more power the industry will gain if public options fail.
How about placebos? I suspect they might work much better on some people than others.
Very true. I have friends that think they're worthless. But I only have to take 4 of them (1 in each corner of the room, at 9:04am, without exhaling) and my OCD stays completely under control. They make a world of difference.
It's not hard to imagine a future in which patients entering an emergency room will have a CD disc with their entire genome tucked in their wallets or on file with a national database. Before any drugs are administered, dosages will be adjusted based on the patient's genomic profile.
And that same genomic profile will determine if they can get coverage in the first place. Think of the cost reductions this new streamlined process will bring!
I mean, we just need this national database to better serve you.
but I have high hopes that a return to the rocket-centric designs of yesteryear will put us back in the forefront of space exploration.
With the current political climate, I wouldn't count on government to get us there. We've been idling for decades and really do need private sector involvement to start making solid progress again.
... Prof. Sankai and his team specially designed "HAL" for climbing mountains and "HAL" can even work even in the snow at 4000 meters height....
The latest battery runs for 5 hours under normal activities.
I think I'll hold off on the mountain climbing for now.
Although flash memories have also become popular - with advantages such as lower power consumption, faster read access time, and better mechanical reliability than HDDs
So HDDs will still be tops in terms of capacity, but SSDs win in everything else. They're getting to the price range now that they're a viable replacement for high-end systems that don't need massive storage. I doubt I'll even have a HDD in the next system I build, SSDs provide enough capacity.
A virus run in Wine is akin to taking a ferocious tiger out of the jungle, paralyzing it, then hooking up all of its nerve endings to virtual jungle simulator. It's not a perfect simulation, though, so the jungle maybe doesn't look right, and plus there's an omnipotent power that can change anything that goes on in the simulation, or even destroy it and the tiger's consciousness with a few twitches of his fingers. Now that's power.
Power that's generated by feeding the dead tigers back to other tigers so we can use their body heat to generate MORE POWER!
On average, how much use of a computer is really taking advantage of it's full power? Really, I can get a lot done on a 1.6GHz Atom processor. And I absolutly love that I can go all day on one charge of a 6 cell battery. No need to carry around a power cord, unlike my laptop.

I believe you're talking about Switzerland.
Sweden had a similar policy.

I can replace my racks with a three-ring binder!
It would seem viable until you realize that $99 printer has $4999.99 cartridges and the first one only comes 1% full.
Niels Henrik David Bohr. Seriously, people...
You spelled Henry wrong ;-)
Immerz’s product, called Kor-fx ...
So anytime you get shot in game, Kor hits you with a bat'leth?
Hear that? That's the sound of a joke, going right over your head.
The only joke here is that your post was modded insightful.

He'll probably be properly "censored" soon.
He was arrested before and went into exile for a while as well. He's been at this for several years.
Everything is a damn patent these days. Yo dawg, I put a clock in your clock so I can sue you while you check the time.
Don't worry, I've found prior art on placing a ____ in a ____. We'll have that patent invalidated in no time!
Amazon also touts the use of 'alternative misspellings for selected words' as a way to provide 'evidence of copyright infringement in a legal action.'
Sabotaging your product out of fear someone might violate your copyrights. Where have we seen that before?
If it wasn't obvious infringement prior to the changes, what's the big deal?

Physicists and engineers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed a nanoscale crystal that traps both light and sound.
And due to a bizarre property of quantum entanglement, the trapped light and sound can never be reproduced again. Finally we'll be rid of Kanye West.

So these people can predict the future now?!
Dude, the guy has his own Wikipedia article. I'm pretty sure that grants him all sorts of powers.

Here's the features for the average user:
So windows 7 still has all the features of Vista/XP, but with even more backgrounds!
Original releases of everything are crap.
But... people are saying the Windows 7 release is actually stable.
Must mean they're doing it backwards and putting the instability in the service packs.

On second thought, lets stick to car analogies.
Windows 7 will see me through the next 6 years quite happily.
Until 2015: The year of the Linux Desktop!
Ah, just slightly too much troll. If you removed just one of the insults you could probably reach the sacred +5 troll.

Yeah, but your SETI score will suck ;-)
