what mr toews needs to learn here is that there is at least one more opinion: i do not support child pornography and i do not support a surveillance society.
govts all over the world - stop giving us these black and white choices. it ain't that easy.

The agreement applies to airlines that operate flights between EU countries and the US.
The list of airlines covered by the new legislation extends beyond European carriers to include any carriers that are "incorporated or storing data" in the EU and operating flights to or from the US.
what I am wondering about now is, if this violates the EU-US PNR Agreement, because afaik that agreement only covers flights to and from US airports, not airspace.

Pay for the use of the design
Yeah - that's the easy way out for big corporations. Just pay some money.
You think that with money you can just buy your way out.
Well - if I were SBB, I'd tell Apple: we don't want your money. We want you to actually remove this from all existing and future devices.
If you love music, download legally
I'd like to ...
Where's the store that I can go to with my 20 gbp cash and a usb stick and download/buy music/software/movies?
It doesn't exist. That's the problem.
Does cash not work over there anymore?
gee - where do you live?
It's "1984" and governments and big corporations want to know what you're doing and where you're doing it.
Can't do that with cash.
Isn't that the whole point of this exercise?
So that Apple (like Mercedes) can update your software while you're flying / driving.
No - just worried about too much control by big corporations. Be it Apple, Facebook, Google ... you name it.
You should read 1984.
Reminds me of this: if you don't like or use "Apple|Facebook|Google", you're suspicious and probably a terrorist.
And while you're at it, read this too.
it's not about the internet. it's about freedom on the internet. as in - no censorship, freedom of speech.

you don't need some govt to tell ( companies | you ) what ( they | you ) can or can not do.

correct - in the netherlands "the pirate bay" and parts of the website of a political party are censored.

As long as lobbyists can censor political parties with the copyright law at their side
you tell me which is worse.
and how is this different from internet censorship in belgium, the uk and the netherlands?

in response to mr toews comment "this is the bill that you either support, 'or you stand with the child pornographers.'".
Life isn't black and white. It's a million shades of grey.
what mr toews needs to learn here is that there is at least one more opinion: i do not support child pornography and i do not support a surveillance society.

SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s.
SQL was developed in 1974. oracle corp was founded in 1977.
IBM vs oracle.
and now i have to apologize, because i just read the pdf of the agreement (link is in the bbc article) and you're right.
to my knowledge this covers flights to/from the us and flights through us airspace.

unless these two sites have published false information, you're just fear mongering.
do you have links to backup what you wrote?
unless you're referring to this http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/04/01/0020259/dhs-will-now-vet-uk-air-passengers-to-mexico-canada-cuba
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2759167&cid=39538673
but then still, you should not make blanket statements like this. that's just fear mongering.
to summarize: as far as i can tell this pnr agreement covers flights to/from the us and flights through us airspace.
solution is simple: just avoid the us like a pariah.
ps: i am referring to this definition of pariah - one that is despised or rejected.

The agreement applies to airlines operating flights between any of the 27 EU countries and the US.
It covers not only European airlines but also any carriers that are "incorporated or storing data" in the EU and operating flights to or from the US.
