Nah, if you remember we put them in there because we were tired of the Republican circlejerk. Now keep in mind that situation will have no bearing on 2012...:D
The game on a disc with an instruction manual is a physical item. Noone I know steals these. Producers are not being denied the rights to their physical property, Noone is being enslaved for their works. A producer isn't under the physical control of a person that digitally duplicates their work. It's sad to see words like piracy and slavery used to describe people that copy information without permission. It's a crime, but at least acknowledge that no physical property is removed from the owners' control.
They demoed the Ferrari 458, and one of the "features" that Jeremy Clarkson highlighted was that the dash mounted display could show you either the speedo or the GPS Sat Nav, but not at the same time - my immediate thought was "Heh, someone at Ferrari has a sense of humour and knows what the Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle is.":)
Thank you mister strawman. I was eleven. I wasn't in any financial shape to buy more than a pack of gum. That's what this article was about, and I shared my story. Now kindly crawl back under your bridge.
For those that read it (yes, I'm new here...), I liked the article and the reply by a user named Aleks. I did the same exact thing a long time ago with Commander Keen. Although I never payed for that game, I got all my friends playing it, and many of their parents eventually payed for the game for them. Would they have played and purchased the game without my prodding? Who knows.
I'm no saint, but I pay for games that entertain me, even if it's just a dinky flash game on the interwebz.
A lot of things will have been proven wrong in the next century. But that is the greatness of science, the ability to self-examine and change theories to fit and better emulate the natural world. Science will still exist, and it will be in a greater form. Fairytales will also still exist due to the fact that is impossible to prove or disprove them. But due to the simple fact that most religious belief is not self-coherent, it's impossible to examine it as you would science. Therefore, religion is neither true nor false, merely immaterial to our discussions of reality.
Slashdot Mirror
1) Every person should be copyrighted
So if this copyrighted person was a filthy rapist, would his victims who were impregnated be accused of illegal duplication? Is this fetal piracy?
If the internet is a series of tubes, the slashdot is a series of pedants :D
Ted: I think I'm getting better!
Plane: No, you'll be stone dead in a moment
Ted: I think I'll go for a walk now
Plane: No, onto the cart you go!

IANAL but a general concept is that whatever is not harmful, the law shall not forbid.
And this will be the implement of destruction, with it our God The Market will fall.
If you have a daughter that knows how to churn butter, I'm there!

So you could say they 'spin' a cocoon?

This should be modded funny, considering the subject of the article and the username behind the post :D
This is troll, but still funny as hell. I'd mod it underrated if I had a point :3
