does this mean it's free now? Or will people still get sued for using an outdated product that gets no more support? If so, i'm pretty sure there will be growing a homebrew community somewhere soon:)
maybe they realized there's lots of forums about wow that dont have that policy so their implementation would only push everyone away from the official ones
yea i agree, it equals giving up a part of your private life, its not like they're mere celebrities, they are responsible for peoples lives, the very people who pay their wages...
lol, the Uk turns into a democracy overnight ??? or are they just trying to locate all the dissidents so they can finish them off once and for all ? This must be the best democratic idea i hear, like in , well, EVER ? Is this for real, where the hell did that come from, they were just about to start burning copyright infringers on at the stake? Did Mars finally attack ?
might as well start brushing up on the Chinese, cos since they all succumb to censorship and the chinese seem to be the only ones left with a set of balls, we could safely make a prediction about who's gonna be the leading nation in the next 100 years
impossible to say, but we can agree on this at least, the biggest crime of all is the prices the industry charges for products no one would even bother to buy most of the time, maybe they can twist some twisted law to sue the shit out of these neanderthals for all the free advertisement they have gotten on their worthless crap by now... that should amount to more than the gnp of at least one country
you are a chinese government official who's smart enough to ask the people who might actually know a way to get through so you can plug the last hole and make your people suffocate in an intellectual vacuum?
Yea, i hope they don't give up, the great out there is our only hope to get rid of drm nazis and religious fanatics, or at least to get away from them...
Yup and because some crap manager who never coded a bit in his life can't suddenly decide that my rights to the game i've bought have 'expired'. The only extra i've ever paid for on my xbox is the Darth Vader character in soulcalibur 4, because i'm really into the dark side of the force, and the other half of my 800 points i spent on space giraffe because i'm a HUGE fan of everything Jeff Minter since the days of Llamatron. That's it, no paying for dlc for me, it's a pitfall trap with no bottom.
what else can one say but... LOL ? i'm glad this isnt done with my tax-euros but it feels like the shitstorm is heading our way, theres too many oldworld in governments everywhere and i'm afraid we need another generation to breed it out, if by then it won't be 1984 instead of 2084
i'm afraid they will have to bang their head into the wall a couple of times, spend billions of dollars on lawsuits to get money from people who will never be able to pay what they ask for anyway. All that money could indeed be better spent figuring out a present-day business model that actually works. And also i dont see the lady gagas or justin biebers going broke yet...
Thing is, these people are in a craze, beside that, they're stuck in a way of thinking and they reassure eachother that they're right. They're just to stupid to realize that the whole landscape has changed a long time ago. The music industry has been going fubar since the invention of the cassette recorder when young people (gods forbid) started taping the music instead of buying the records... well, i dont think the beatles ever had to beg for money ?
It's all just stupid, fueled by vulture lawyers and old world lobbies. Modern courts and judges should make a statement that justice has no time for nonsense like this but sadly, most judges are still old world as well
yes, it's starting to look like that and sadly enough Europe as well, I have this picture of Orwell standing on a bookshelf, it keeps looking at me and says : "See? I was right..."
i personally scan my computer everyday when booting into windows. Yes, antivirus is a must but if they force ppl to install it, it has to be free and indeed as lite as possible. i have the topgrade core2duo cpu but the scanning slows down the computer at the harddrive. Also, a deep scan takes well over 30 minutes to complete. And more, if your virus definitions are 1 day old, you already have the chance at 0day malware, these ppl are very intelligent programmers and they keep it up to speed. But, disconnecting ppl just like that, i don't think i like that. My old man can't even burn a cd without assistance, so how the hell should he be held responsible if his machine gets infected ?
the way this goes i see no alternative but to euthanise everyone born before 1970, its too ridiculous these people would like to set the world back and keep it there where they knew it, holding everyone back. Incredible, and the way everyone acts. Do they put prozac or zyprexa in tapwater these days?
that the value of 'personal data' degrades automatically over time. people change, interests fade quickly, data like that is probably useless after one week in this add stressed out world
anything i ever made or wrote so far can be copied freely as long as no one else makes money from it, if they do, i'd want my share. That would be a nice manifesto to rub in the major companies faces and solve a lot of shit
i don't think i could add a lot to mister jacks smirking reven's answer:) these are dire times, patience is needed, vision even more, and carefull planning as foundation

i agree, i have to see the first linux virus appear on my pc as well
