They demonize the RIAA to justify thier behavior while ignoring the fact it means the artist doesn't get paid for their work
If they don't get paid its because they aren't talented and produce crap. Simple as that. People use it as radio, and when they hear/see something of quality they support it. If they don't support it its because they don't care if they never hear from the "artist" again.
Quite often you hear people in the firefly newsgroup confess: "I downloaded some episodes, but it was so great I rushed out and bought the DVD's"
If copyrights are revoked only the talented make money and the RIAA can't stand that.
... it opens a ton of windows on the desktop. I thought it was the linux crowed who started to moan about how browsers should be tabbed - well that extends to everything! That's one of the reasons I've never given it more than a couple of seconds test. Sorry but you are out. So the only thing I love about the Gimp at the moment is their little mascot. He's really cute:)
All the big companies do that with their "intellectual property" and hey wooptie, they have many more years of copyright proteciton because its a new work - doesn't this work here? "We changed a comma so its a new work!":)

Hey kid mind your manners!
I believe Merriam Webster may disagree with you
Regardless of what MW says its not relevant, they are not a legal dictionary.
Where is the profit for RIAA? Surely they loose money from having to hire laywers?
According to John Titor its too later, civil war is comming ;)
Where they have this odd notion that the loser do not pay trial costs. Which they do in most of the world.
So a big company won't just throw a frivolous lawsuit at you, because if they loose they have to pay (and if you loose you were probably guilty)
On the other hand, nobody's got a decent reason,
Sure they do, the reason is that the laws are immoral and not the will of the people.

If there is one thing Firefox needs its a UI (instead of tons of shit hidden in obscure nerdish corners)
...how small can it be if its written in Java? ;)
At LEAST windows98 and up, and Linux.
And how about trying it before bitching about how lame it is.
The only hubris is that we think our 100 years of precise weather experience will somehow prevent the climate from wildly shifting again. :-)
Nobody says that, there are only two types: Those who say what we do is irrelvant, and those who don't give a shit.
Ok, once more and in English please.
Yeah, lets just sit on our fat asses and say its normal.
Except you apparently can.
Except we don't have time for, nor do we want to, add dozen or hundres of sites to remove (nor is there space) each time we search.
It turned into total crap (and given their abuse of stylesheets, much of it is unreadable crap as well).
And since you don't pay for TV Tome...

"We changed a comma so its a new work!"
That's right, don't be helpful.
"Fuck of moron" is also effective ;)
What IP number in Denmark and why?
Read is fucking link for clarification.
... killing and torturing people to death isn't questionable in the US, and so hasn't been removed?
You'll probably see that... if you live 40 years.
