  1. Oh get a grip! on LotR RotK Premiere Today In New Zealand · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Everybody decent on the production has been paid for their work. Its only the greedy bastards at newline which expect to keep cashing in again and again on the work of other people. Its fair they make their money back, its fair they make a profit - but its sick amoral greed when that profit ends up being 40000%

  2. Re:Big deal! on LotR RotK Premiere Today In New Zealand · · Score: 1

    The police thank you for your information.

  3. Here is your chance! on LotR RotK Premiere Today In New Zealand · · Score: 1

    Take some pictures and upload them to your website!

    Don't have a website... get one! Plenty of free!

    Don't have a camera? Borrow one!

    We are waiting :)

  4. This of course means that its legal now on Maine to Launch Internet Sex-Offender Registry · · Score: 1

    You do a crime, you do the time and the slate is supposed to be wiped clean. Now they want to keep punishing these people for ever? Since no punishment should last that long, that should mean that there will be no jail time up front - or that they drop this stuff.

  5. Re:Ouch! on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 1

    They are.

  6. Re:Ouch! on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 1

    Why on earth would someone want to abuse DNS for this purpose?


    Duh! Because it makes it easier to spread information and harder for RIAA to stop them.

  7. Re:Isn't this very easy to combat? on Caching Torrent files in DNS · · Score: 1

    Why would anyone want to "combat" it?


    Why would anyone not?

  8. Re:Stalking senior Republicans... on Track People Using Their Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    why should they care about the privacy of individuals when there are $$$ to be made?

    You are right, monetarism and greed thinks only about money - not about humans. Ie, we need to get rid of it.

  9. Re:Lower prices on Game Piracy Results in Lower Prices? · · Score: 1

    Development takes time, and costs a lot of money.

    And they make a shit load of money due to the imoral copyright laws.

  10. Re:I've been trying my best to switch people away on New IE Holes Discovered · · Score: 1

    I just know that it doesn't work, not what its called.

    Tell me when its javascript compatible.

  12. The greedy bastards on Canadian Music Industry Wants Royalties on Net Usage · · Score: 1

    just need to learn that copyright is basically imoral. Earn your money by doing a job - hold a concert, fine, that's a job, you get paid for that. Someone listens to your song? No, you don't get paid for that. In the fair world that is.

  13. Re:The sky is NOT falling. on Google Blocks 'Optimized' Pages · · Score: 1

    Altavista used to be good - then they started returning crap, they are no longer good. If Google starts returning crap, people leave. No more adds.

  14. Re:It's going to be said by somebody... on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    Really? Well, i'll probably see it before ROTK so i'll pay attention :)

  15. Re:It's going to be said by somebody... on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    And they are not orcs? Well, excuuuuse me.

  16. Re:The matrix. on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    But so many of the posts start off, in effect, with a null-semantic content opening; "I didn't like it cause I didn't like it".

    That's how it is with all people. You either like it or don't like it - and then you find reasons to support the emotion. Clever people realize that, the rest deny it ;)

  17. Re:Also note on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    Ok, lets i get sued, perhaps i should rephrase it to 'newLine felt they should be getting away with paying the actors as little as possible, but they may have changed their mind'

    Read the article, it tells how first they wouldn't pay them much, they just expected all the actors to do PR for most of this year for free it seems. When they started to form their own fellowship and complain, they sort of recanted a bit. Although according to NEWSWEEK the cast is now auditing the studio.

  18. Re:Gaffes interview ending... on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    Of course a lot of it isn't really mistakes, just some internerds being anal.

  19. Re:Hollywoodized LOTR on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ms. Strider would wrestle the balrog while the others fled, losing her top duing the fight but having it CGBra'd back on to preserve the film's rating.

    Actually, there is a point in The Two Towers, where we see an orcs head on a stick - Peter Jackson said that WETA has CGI'ed a helmet to cover this - apparently this is needed for american TV .... they censor the strangest things over there...

  20. Also note on First Review Of Return Of The King · · Score: 1

    Newline is already screwing the actors - they seem to think they movie didn't really make any money so they can't give them any bonuses.

  21. If anybody has a problem on L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term · · Score: 1

    with the term master/slave he should see a psychiatrist at once!

  22. Re:BFD on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    This takes Protected AAC to Unprotected AAC.

    Actually, according to reports, it doesn't.

    No transcoding (no loss of quality) involved.

    Transcoding means NO LOSS of quality.

  23. Except on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    Plus, why would one buy music from Apple, only to give it away to total strangers for nothing. I wouldn't. They way I see it, I paid for it, and if you want it, go buy your own.

    Of course you didn't buy it. You paid money to be allowed to listen to it under certain circumstances.

  24. Excuse me on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    But if you can burn it to a cd, why don't you just copy it off the cd afterwards?

  25. Re:Why do this? on Apple's iTunes DRM Cracked? · · Score: 1

    By breaking the means the industry hopes to use to make their business viable

    This has not been proven, this is just you (and them) blowing smoke out their ass. People tend to support what they like, if you try to trick people buy what they dont like then shame on you.

    Do you expect to get paid for a days work?

    Yes ONCE - not like the greedy assholes in the musicbusiness who expects to get paid over and over and over and over

    One Job - One salery.

    And if Apple is forced to end their service because everyone just steals the music, then what will be left with?

    Copying music is not stealing, it can be copyright infringement. Stealing is if you actually take a physical cd and abscond with it.

    Microsoft will push a DRM-based protection scheme which is based on hardware and locks out non-Windows users.

    Yeah, bastards!
