Here we call them 'religious marriages' and 'civil marriages'. Usually the first entails the second (at least if done by the Catholic Church) but the inverse isn't true.
Well, for one, the government doesn't have a monopoly over any market; the state does. And the state is not a company, nor are the companies it owns private, by definition.
But hey, if you want to convince my government that they can't privatize our state owned companies because they already are private, be my guest!
Since the agreements are secret, the employer is imposing an extra cost on the employee without his knowlodge. This is fraud, which is contrary to a free market.
I was merely explaining the difference between the actions, not claiming one should be free from the legal consequences of such actions.
But defending file sharing doesn't necesseraly mean one defends breaking the law; it may also mean on defends the abolishment of copyright laws, which would make the action legal.

Changing it back might be foolish, but it'd be nice if we could at least try to stop the change that is still occuring.
Except it's not. It's controlled by a single entity, which can "print" all it wants and even revogate someone's credits.
It's much more like dollars than Bitcoins.
Do you have data to support your claims?
A species isn't engineered. Some perpetuate themselves, others don't.
I also wonder what rights they actually want.
Obviously, "the same". Regardless of what they are.
Why not? Isn't it a shame that Google et all had to do a black out?
I think you misread parent's post.
The people of r/polyamory disagree with you.

Given what happened with [some Toyota models], I'm not sure I could, in good conscience, convince a customer that [cars] are secure for them.
Updating all the links is possible: get your own domain and use any webserver to redirect your own URLs to the "cloud" provider.
If the provider gets shut down, re-upload everything to another and fix the redirects.
Gmail now supports two factor authentication that helps with that. I still have local backups of everything, though.

monopolize (socialize)
There's nothing socialist about a private company having a monopoly.

He had a contract with the organization from whom he copied the code, which (implictly or explicitly) covers that he couldn't do this.
People downloading from Megaupload haven't signed anything agreeing not to copy such files.
My point is, if you do support copyright, isn't it hypocritical to not support the bills that actually have any chance at acchieving their goals?
Personally, I just support abolishing copyright as it is.
They are accused of crimes which are illegal in the Netherlands too (including racketeering and money laundering, according to Computer World).
Megaupload has servers in the US. SOPA/PIPA are supposed to block US clients from accessing international servers.
Everybody agrees that we need to battle online piracy of movies, books, TV shows and such.
I'd like to know how they propose to "battle online piracy" without draconian laws.
Such software exists: it's called Bittorrent.
