How many times have we seen people think they're playing an arcade game when they're just jiggling the controllers pointlessly during the demonstration mode?
The fairest penalty is no penalty. We need to end the war on sharing by legalizing noncommercial copyright infringement. I know this is not a popular view.
It's only unpopular with the people who spend millions a year on lawyers who will aggressively sue people who earn 5-digits a year salaries for amounts they couldn't hope to earn in a lifetime. Everyone else agrees with you.
This is the very last story of "your rights online" as it has become brutally evident that we have none anymore, the RIAA having swallowed the very last shreds we still clung on to. Start saving your money for the multi-million fine that you WILL be receiving soon.
It's interesting that Netflix's success which is seen as a possible downfall of the internet is happening at a time where the industry giants are pushing for cloud-based computing where everything would be done remotely from servers with no localized software.
When I asked my third grade teacher what use I could possibly make of Venn diagrams in everyday life, she told me "when it happens, you'll be happy that you know them." It's been almost thirty years and I'm still waiting for that day when I face a problem on the street or at work that can ONLY be resolved by a Venn diagram...
It's important to protect your access terminals considering that it consists entirely on a keyboard with a perfectly aligned square buttons devoid of characters identifications on them and a monochrome green screen with "PASSWORD:" displayed on them along with a blinking cursor in 4 inch tall font.
Facebook implements a new feature and within seconds is turned into a glaring privacy violation tool. The silence of no one being surprised is positively defeaning.

How about easy repairing so we don't toss them out so quickly in the first place?
If not, it ought to be!

Shouldn't there be at least a decade of Princess Leia in there?
Only when they release a study showing that bikinis in zero gravity improves red blood cell counts.
Zero gravity leather bondage is good for you!
Agreed. If they insist on humiliating me, let me at least give them the task of feeling up my balls.
The murder charges will be much more lenient than whatever the copyright lawyers will throw at you!!!
Keep an eye on this one. Should a judge give these guys a foolishly favorable judgement, this could invalidate every P2P lawsuit ever filed!
It's not about getting the full amount. It's about destroying lives as a warning to others.

Why don't we just put up the death sentence for copyright infringement and be done with it? /sarcasm

Or in the case of bad DVD sales, Who watches the Watchmen movie?
We'll send to JAIL those criminal masterminds who bring their own chocolate to the theater!!!
Larry Hagman took it. He's got five of them now! And three hearts! We didn't want to give them to him but he overpowered us!
Consider the price of toner, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a conventionally assembled car?

Not so crazy now, is it?

Do I owe them money for this "access forbidden" ominous warning?
