They can cry that all they want. At the end of the year, they're either profitable, or out of business. As long as we can prevent them from taking our rights away in the process, all is well.
Their peers have to be convinced first. They are a much harder filter to get through than Joe Average.
Not if you can control the peer review process.
2 examples:
Michael Mann, one of the major players in the scandal, decided to narrow the definition of “peer-reviewed journals” to include only those journals that refused to publish any papers or studies questioning their consensus. “We have to stop considering Climate Research as a legitimate peer-reviewed journal.”
When the Geophysical Research Letters published a critical paper, Tom Wigley, another principal figure (I almost said co-conspirator...), wrote "If you think that Saiers is in the greenhouse skeptics camp, then, if we can find documentary evidence of this, we could go through official AGU channels to get him ousted." James Saiers, a GRL editor, was, in fact, ousted.
Granted, I have not been able to explore all the evidence from all different angles, primarily because of lack of time, but mainly because if I were to attempt such a thing my head would likely explode. I have been, however, trying to follow it to the best my feeble little brain's ability, from as many different sources as I am able, and can come to only one conclusion.
Their careers and livelihoods are only improved if the public can be convinced they are right. The government and big media are doing their best to make that happen.
... The American people will not tolerate people exploiting other people's hard work, nor people stifling innovation and hampering our cultural development by removing the incentive to create just to make a quick buck for themselves.
Absolutely. I agree 100%--we need to get the word out now. I'll start by gathering all my neigh-...wait, what's that? Dancing with the Stars is on? Sweet! Er, let me get back with you on that reform thing, ok?
This, this, and more this. If the ads fit seamlessly with the world inside the game (making it more like the real world, in a non-obnoxious way), by all means, IF you can do all of that, and if that means you can sell the game for $25 instead of $50, DO IT!

Er, you could cut Alaska in half and Texas would be the third largest state...
The odds fall somewhere between slim and you-have-got-to-be-fucking-kidding-me...
Just set the pile on fire to spite all crybabies. Then point to this thread when little johnny the orphan asks for new socks.
Are there no prisons? And the Union workhouses? Are they still in operation?
The government does this every four years...so what's the problem?
And?

Until EA is deemed "too big to fail"

There is something rotten in Denmark.
Uh, armed rebellion... is this a tea tax we are talking about?
FTFY
But it's true. It is just a part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy...

Doesn't surprise me. The House odds are never in the players' favor...
iTunes lists rap stars as recording artists . Would that fall under the "faulty or misdescribed goods" part?

For that you need a car analogy...
That's a pretty fancy iPod you have, there. It'd be a real shame if something were to happen to it...
Wait a minute... I thought vampires sparkled in the light of day. Now I'm confused.

But you can advertise the "all new 2112 Camero". This way, it is not an ad for a car, but for a whole brand.
But you could advertise the 2010 Camaro in a used car TV spot featuring Cal Worthington and his dog, Spot.

The last thing I want to do when levelling up before that boss fight is make 14 extra trips back to base so my guys can take a dump.
C'mon, guys--you should have thought about that before we left...
Has anyone considered adding a bit of science to the discussion?.
But that would mean less time for "Underwater Culturally-Sensitive Basket Weaving 101." That is entirely unacceptable...

It would be drowned out by the hip hop, or whatever is playing on those absurdly large subwoofers.
You make it sound as if there was a difference...
