get over you're "logical fallacy". it's not about that. What he means is that once you have an insight about the nature of the industry, it becomes allot easier to believe that this was engineered. No, it doesn't prove it, but what people on the other side are doing is saying "gee, man made? that's so UN-believable that it can't be true." There's a logical fallacy to consider.
The difference between the two sides is that one side has experienced or read allot about the evils of the industry and the other hasn't. Consider the perspectives of each when they hear about the swine flu being man made.
I think the GP expressed this more elegantly, but I just had to spell it out.
This is a billion dollar industry whose only interest is to push as many drugs on us a possible for profit. They have no intention, or financial incentive, to cure anyone, but to treat symptoms and keep us sick and still "needing" their drug relief. They suppress alternative therapies that they can't market and in some cases go out of their way to make us sicker so that we spend more on drugs.
This information is easy to find on the net. Not just as "conspiracy theories", but as documented cases of corruption that make their intentions so obvious that you don't even really need a theory to understand what's happening.
Of course, if you watch allot of television, then it will seem that drugs are a necessary part of health and that these drug companies a great benefit to mankind
they don't. is this such a difficult idea to accept? The idea of art-for-money is dead. I say GOOD! When money gets behind art, it is no longer art. citation: pop music.
is it "stealing"???? the problem is that the word has lost meaning. The real question is: "if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it.... who gives a fuck?". The answer is YOU.
This ACoC will naturally evolve. If everyone uses AdBlock then flashy banner adds will be useless, forcing advertisers to use inline adds which the Adblock software cannot distinguish from real content. You can't put flash inline in html (at least not yet), so you're left with only text and inline images (I don't know if you can do
inline animated gifs?).
true dat. Seems to me that PEOPLE are fundamentally the thing that needs to be reformed. This "monster" is really just a sickness of the people themselves.
You are not separate from the world people! you grew out of it and are as connected to it as an apple is to a tree. It's all YOU. Wake up!
No - if you really want to bring the people to the bidding of their leaders, just tell them you'll keep them safe from misfortune and failure. Turn the government into their surrogate mother and you'll turn them into children - unable to even contemplate resisting your control.
...such an eloquent description of the Nanny State. People cry to the their government, "protect me, mommy. Make the boogie men go away".
I sometimes wonder of our knowledge of great people events and stories from the past; we only know about the ones that were documented or were very famous. Imagine what fantastic times may have existed that history has just forgotten.
Digitization seems to be uncovering some of these.
not needed quite yet. Bittorrent is still good: we just need to index torrents (and maybe have trackers) on tor hidden servers. The actual p2p-ing can still be done on the open internetz.
This is actually what happens on windows; Crappy scheduler I believe. On my FreeBSD desktop I can have come code compiling and still watch movies without a glitch.
Jeez man, just configure firefox to open pdf with an external program. Integrated PDF in web browsers is just dumb from a software design point of view because it leads to precisely the problem you describe; the web browser is not a PDF viewer. There is specialised software for just that. -1 Pointless integration.
Politicians aren't stupid. That's just the excuse they use after they fuck you:
"Opps, silly me. Did I just take freedom of speech off the internet? Dang, what was I thinking!"
I would love to see JavaScript on the server side. It's already way more powerful than php5 with (superior) prototypal oo, higher order/first class functions and many other meta-programming abilities.
All it needs is some good libraries. There are people already working on this. Soon... soon.

Ideas should be free. The idea that one can own an idea is, I believe, an ill conceived principal.
Perhaps I should patent "patents".

you forgot the sourceforge link to your book.
Would the copyright industry please just die already and stop trying to take away our internet freedom.
Antidepressants cause school shootings. The media will never tell you that though. There's lots of money in antidepressants.

such as you fighting to preserve the right of the individual, something that we pay far less attention to in the UK (thank god)
Maybe that's why, in the UK, there are CCTV cameras watching your every move.

stop using eMule. use a dedicated bittorrent client.
not needed quite yet. Bittorrent is still good: we just need to index torrents (and maybe have trackers) on tor hidden servers. The actual p2p-ing can still be done on the open internetz.
The problem with copyright specifically is that people disobeying the law is evidence that we need what the law protects
Man, that is so contrived.

No, just ubiquity.
Nice "big picture" perspective on things. You really got to the fundamental point here. p.s. I agree.
whatever, man. The intention for world government is still there.
You've just illustrated how IP stifles innovation; precisely the opposite of it's alleged intention.
