And did you ever stop to think that records of gay marriages in the past were destroyed by the church in order to keep their handhold on the institution? I mean, Catholicism destroyed whole cultures' worth of history in South America. And the act of marriage predates recorded history anyway. How the fuck do you know what went in 5000 years ago?
This reminds me of the claim that fossils were created by God as artifacts.
Every ISP and every computer hardware manufacturer knows that they make money off a product partly or even mostly used for copyright infringement. Knowing something is not the same as committing a crime. We don't need to be the jury (that receives less evidence, not more than the public) to know that the charges are not legitimate. And reality...it can be changed.
But the whole point of the program is to send the scabs back. If they were permanent residents they would demand prevailing wages rather than working at 50% of the rate of an American (which will buy them a lot when they get back home).
A lot of people choose to spread their obviously bad genes, and breed past their gametes' expiration date, so there is still choice in there. Dysgenics should not be promoted by giving parents of defectives extra money and attention.
Sounds like megaupload only stored one copy if more than one user uploaded the same file. So they didn't feel the need to remove the file unless there was a DMCA take-down for each and every uploader's actions. Unless it was child porn, in which case they nuked that shit. Seems like those actions were more about efficiency than promoting piracy. If they removed identical files in all cases pirates would just upload slightly different files...and megaupload would find itself hosting more child porn.
The only objection you can come up with is "crazy" because you are an ideologue. That you can even doubt that a human fetus is human indicates how far from rationality you are.
An indictment that makes up a sensational name for the defendant is a joke. Proving that the operators made money and knew that there were illegal uses of the service is like proving gun manufacturers make money and know that guns are used in stickups.
Ha, I like the part where they show that Megaupload aka "The Mega Conspiracy's" diligent removal of child porn is evidence that it had the capability to remove all copyrighted material. Clearly Megaupload's biggest failure was not leaving more pictures of naked kiddies up for the feds!
We might have laws saying women are equal in the workplace, but modern families raise kids on two distinct tracks depending on their chromosome composition, and it breeds this behavior. That needs to be fixed rather than trying to do damage control after the fact.
The only "fix" possible is to create a society of homosexual females. Most likely there would still be a privileged bulldykarchy
Could help if legal distribution reduced the price. Drug addicts currently need to come up with more money than even a middle-class income could provide. Though I guess a heroin or meth addict is incapable of even working McDonald's if that would be enough to support their habit...
Slashdot was advising people to microwave their new clothes. I am not making this up. According to Slashdot, the government was going to use RFID to track people
The fact is the government is tracking cellphones and vehicles with various technologies. The "ridiculous, exaggerated" story essentially came to pass , though RFID wasn't the mechanism. Yes, we have nothing to hide from Big Brother, and yes life will go on even when the internet becomes an exclusively corporate and government domain. It's a good thing we have "sensible" people like you around to help us accept our fate.
Have those "intangibles" really improved in the last 50 years as the rate of smoking has plummeted? Personally I'd rather get to know girls during smoke breaks and die at 50 than be surrounded by fat non-smoking chicks for 60 years and then spending 40 years in a nursing home.
The loophole for internet stores hurts smaller businesses.
More like it slightly reduced the competitiveness of stores in Amazon's league like Walmart. The internet was a refuge for some small businesses, but having their already high prices increase by 10% will kill sales.

And most guys are emotionally scarred by monogamous marriage
Just means homosexuality helps their profits. If you can't find neutered office drones, gays might be the next best thing.
Luxury goods providers do not merit the attention of a democratic government, certainly not the intrusive intervention into the affairs of the masses.
"Popular movies" means they are receiving a lot of clicks, not that they are best sellers at Best Buy. Until DCMA'd there is nothing wrong happening.

As cowardly as the anonymous members of SEAL Team Six?

This combination of words makes no sense. Dude did work of more value to humanity than pretenders and rent-seekers like Gates or Jobs.
Taking something without paying just because you can is selfish and wrong.
Once again: copying isn't "taking".
1 Federal agent with a weapon is plenty on a flight.
This still isn't guaranteed. Doesn't generate any profits.
Still, it's going to suck being the .01% and naked.

no particular biological basis for this
If a difference in DNA isn't a biological basis what is?

How is forming a religious government "hate"? Does the Saudi Monarchy="love"? Or is just Jesus=love, Mohammed=hate?
Criminals always plead ignorance. From the joint in their pocket to mass grave nearby: they don't know how it got there!
