don't forget folks -there is an option that is neither "insanely shortsighted abolition of all copyright" nor "information that cannot be used because it is locked down"
That's what we have now, and has enabled what you described.
They have a valid argument. If instead of trying to counter-argue, you're going to make childish and unsubstantiated "us vs them" remarks, don't bother replying to me.
I can only say that, as a composer, I'm not out there playing live shows, so...
One of the lines is "PRS revenue", being that PRS is "a society of songwriters, composers and music publishers."
Fair point about income brackets, but I find it hard to believe that as labels get less money, big stars (high income brackets) get more. I could be wrong, though.
Apache doesn't sell ads, they won't "enter" anything.
And in any case, Microsoft doesn't decide for me whether I lock my doors, which is the issue being discussed here. Apache just wants to make sure they can say to the advertisers, "the person decided to lock the door, GTFO" instead of "well, maybe the person decided to lock the door. Or maybe it was the wind and the user really doesn't mind if you enter".
From what I can tell, he mostly follow the typical position of Abrahamic religions. Homosexuality is a sin, governments who legalize gay marriage should be destroyed. Also at one point he supported keeping laws banning homosexual behavior, apparently he doesn't anymore.
Not surprising considering he's an important LDS member.
That's obviously not true. First, as a US citizen with at least $50M in assets (or, I suppose, credit) she pays a decent amount in taxes, which are what funds NASA itself (how much goes to it is not her decision). Secondly, she's paying $50M to a Space Agency that NASA nows depends upon, so she's helping fund the necessary traveling arrangements to perform that science.
Where did you learn that? The data I have disagrees: income from recorded music is falling, but live shows more than make up for that, leaving artists better off in total.
Not that it's relevant to this particular event, but having an IP connection doesn't mean it's unecumbered. For example, the Iran "state firewall" filters TLS (HTTPS, IMAPS, etc) and SSH.
They're all examples of the poor security practices of banks, even if not all are "hacks".
Operation High Roller: Client side malware steals online banking credentials to impersonate valid users. Not a hack.
Wrong. It's a hack caused by poor security practices by banks. For example, no computer malware could steal my credentials and impersonate me, since the bank website uses transaction-bound OTPs.
Somehow, I feel like your opinion is somewhat unimportant, really.
- High corruption compared to most of the European countries - High number of companies, foundations and individuals living from state rents. - High taxes (e.g. 23% VAT), and rising - High unemployment, especially among young people, including college graduates - Low education rates (only 28% finish High School), including among business owners - High number of workers under a special "no contract" regime - Low salaries and pensions, which together with high taxes leads to - Low purchasing power
And the most important: it'll only get worse in the medium term.
Whether if people would actually prefer is not that clear. Mike Munger (an economist from Duke), who is very much against price controls for obvious reasons, talks about a event where ice sellers where arrested for "price gouging" (there were shortages in the supply and high temperatures) and the people who were buying the ice actually applauded.
That said, I assume the same won't happen with pork products.
You're not supposed to be anything. Being against copyright infringement is a perfectly valid position.
But being pro or against copyright infrigement is inconsequential. The important questions are: should it be punished? And what are you willing to sacrifice to punish it? Because the only way to stop it is to enforce draconian measures on everyone. Is it worth it?

Somalia hasn't abolished copyright.

Since following DNT is not a legal requirement, what exactly would that achieve?
The problem is that DNT can't actually enforce any of that. It can only ask "pretty please" to advertisers.

Do you have contradictory data?
You could also use a scanner or "digital pen" and get most of the benefits of both.
I don't own one, but isn't XNA an access for small developers to one such platform?

I wish I could care, I really do.
But Portugal was the country we were talking about...
No. They may become obsolete, but they don't decay like e.g. fresh fish.
Let's see:
- High corruption compared to most of the European countries
- High number of companies, foundations and individuals living from state rents.
- High taxes (e.g. 23% VAT), and rising
- High unemployment, especially among young people, including college graduates
- Low education rates (only 28% finish High School), including among business owners
- High number of workers under a special "no contract" regime
- Low salaries and pensions, which together with high taxes leads to
- Low purchasing power

Actually no, as a Linux user, I think he's right; I wouldn't use iTunes even if it was available on Linux, so I'm not really part of the market.
If atheists are like that is because God made them so. Who are you to criticize His creation?
That's not true, the Directive (99/44/EC) applies to all non-perishable goods.
Not everywhere; here in Portugal the burden of proof never shifts.

Yes. And the total for artists (recorded + live) is growing.
