You can be detained, without being charged, indefinitely, having been investigated under a sealed warrant, an unsigned warrant, or no warrant at all, and then be denied access to a lawyer.
Its tough if they run a server on a 486, but its a very bad president if you have to ASK permission to link to websites... of course if someone were to make a bit torrent webserver..
As i'm reading this story I'm getting adds for Kazaa and another add tempts with "Download Music Faster Download mp3/music faster with 3D-FTP. Get free trial Now."
This is the most absurd thing I have read in recent days. The notion of stealing music inorder to preview it for later purchase is insane.
You may have problem with your comprehension since you are mislabeling things. Downloading music is not stealing, it is copyright infringement since a physical object is not removed and nobody looses anything.
Would you steal a CD from the music shop only to turn around and go make a purchase of the exact same thing. NO, you would not!
No because that would be stealing not copyright infringement. You would take the physical thing from the store which the store has paid for and would be unable to sell.
The law understands the distinction, which is why it makes one.
? These kids broke the law and the record companies are taking legal action against them for it. And as far as I'm concerned, they deserve to pay the price for their actions.
Yeah let the greedy get the rest of their filthy lucre while they can - 99% of those kids think "Copyright" and "Intellectual property" are amoral concepts - and once they are no longer kids they will endeavour remove those concepts. One way or another...
So, despite the fact that the government had absolutely NOTHING whatsoever to do with this story, even if they did, the government cannot digitally alter wartime photos because it violates the Geneva Convention
Which only means that they'll declared the Geneva Convetion unapplicable and dot it anyway.
I would stay up all night consuming massive amounts of coffee, cola, and pizza. I lost weight, my skin became pale, I allowed my hair to grow long, gave up shaving, and never took a bath.
How can he eat massive amounts of pizza and loose weight?!
Calling it "stealing" is subverting the language to fit your viewpoint, it implies there is more in common with downloading songs and shoplifting other than both being illegal. It is copyright infringement, nothing more.
I suggest you grow up.
He understands what you mean, he just do not agree with you. And you get nowhere suggesting people grow up, especially when you are the one who is in the wrong. The law (at least) understands there is a difference, and classifies it differently: Its not stealing its copyright infringement. Now if you don't want to accept how the world is that is one thing, but then present it as your view of how it should be, not as how it is.
The person distributing and the person receiving copies of media without the permission of its owner are taking away their equally law-given right of control, and through which, compensation for their efforts.
Except they get compensated to the point where the majority of people think its sick greed. "Copyright" and "intellectual propery" is something which the greedy obviously love, but the people feel is amoral - which is why no matter how many laws get passed you are hardly likely to sway them.
It is illegal
Nobody denies that - but something being illegal is not the same as it being wrong. Sometimes its the laws that need to be changed.
The people with a vested interest in maintaining the right to control their intellectual property have large sums of money to use,
Indeed, and they have made them from an amoral system - that's why people do not feel sorry for them.
They're _going_ to make it as _expensive_ as possible for the average person to download their products freely because people _are_ making it more expensive for them not to.
Except nobody is stealing their products, some are violating their copyrights. And before you say "grow up" - if you don't understand the difference you are the one who needs to grow up.

Just like the people on guantanamo.
And that is un-American. Period.

Yahoo (YHOO) said it's kicking off a new search service, billed as faster and easier. [...] Shares of Yahoo fell 29 cents to $24.05 on Friday.
That'll teach them
How can you have a userID number below 150k and not know what Cat5 is? :)
:)
Just lucky i guess
Not sure how you could make a death star out of that stuff, but thanks anyway :)
Not really. And it doesn't answer the question.
On Google!
Wow.. what a loss to the world (sensitive people avert your eyes before clicking)

People...it's a Sunday. Go outside, meet some new people, GET A LIFE!!!
Why would you wanna meet new people?
What are CAT 5's?
I was just saying that piracy is not the "proper" term, you can of course call it what you like. But the real term is copyright infringement.
It's piracy.
Piracy in a smuch as its a legal term is when you board a ship, kill the crew and steal the cargo.

For a contemporary example, just look at Bush.
People want to steal and pirate music and movies.
Except you don't steal it via the internet, at most you infringed on copyright.
