    How many on your list do we keep? Tripoli? No. Canada? No. Mexico? Arguably some, but acquired in a very fluid environment. Mexicans were land grabbing too. Hawaii? Yes. Cuba? No (except for a naval base). Puerto Rico? Yes. Philippines? No. China? No. Haiti? No.

    If we're imperialists, we've got a pretty low batting average.

    Ask a Hittite, if you can find one. Native American tribes got off easy for a very long period of world history. Well, except for the other native American tribes and civilizations. It wasn't exactly unicorns and rainbows before European contact (or Asian contact).

    what is conceptual difference between the two prosecutions in the name of "society morals"?

    One concerned a guy who looked at the sky, and the other concerned someone who was being killed. I don't know why you don't see a difference.

    Yes, of course. Distributing a video of a murder and the results of one's stargazing are the same.

    So how does this instruct us on viewing/filming a murder? Because I think that's what we're talking about here.

    Now, you are equating a prosecution with a prosecution. Nothing more. When it comes to this shit, Galileo would probably say "Hang the fucker." I say that because almost NO ONE - even in our comparatively liberal society of the modern times - would say this guy is in the right.

    There's a difference between being rightfully defiant, and just being a dick.

    The freedom of speech right in the US is not an unlimited right. You'll have to read through 200 years of jurisprudence to find the real limitations.

    Beastiality actually is against the law in most U.S. states. It's just that it's never really been perceived as a problem that would need to be dealt with at the federal level.

    And, you can't separate morals and 'social order'.

    The burden of proof required on your typical internet message board, much less Slashdot, is pretty low. But we can look at the tape in this case....

    From the TFA...

    Marek told the Ottawa Citizen he believed “people need to know what really is going on in their neighbourhoods,” saying: “They could easily walk upon a gruesome accident scene themselves and whom will they blame for being exposed to it then?”

    Yes, of course, this is a public service. If I were to take a walk and came across a dismembered body, I'd immediately ask why I wasn't informed of this sort of thing - and why I wasn't properly prepared for being exposed to this type of stuff. Goddammit, why didn't somebody post this shit to the internet so I'd be prepared for this sort of thing!

    Or, he could be a sick fuck in it for the lulz.

    I dunno.

    It's interesting that the first three replies to this post zoomed in on a one word factual error that isn't really of any consequence with regard to the rest of the three paragraph comment. It's like they think they're going for the win.

    Perhaps, but TV series' are currently working through a variety of business models. I happen to have HBO so, not only can I watch it at its scheduled time, I can DVR it or watch it on demand on my cable system for free, or login to HBOGO while in a hotel room in another city and watch it on demand.

    I can usually watch series' on other channels on demand as well, although some will turn off fast forward during commercials, while others almost eliminate the commercials. Other shows are simply not available (except for DVR) at anytime other than their scheduled times. HBO has decided that their content will be for HBO subscribers. I don't think this is a winning model, but time will tell.

    Netflix will also probably not let their original content go so easily.

    I'm curious,... is Amazon Live available in your country? Or is it an advertising deal between IMDb and Amazon? If you go to Amazon and search for "Singing In The Rain", do you get an option to stream?

    No, IMDb is not a website for a particular movie. It's far better than that. So, I'm correct on two points, and the other one is moot.
