Doubtful. The vast majority of book buyers neither own e-readers or buy e-books. You're highly exaggerating the situation. Partnering with Amazon is simply just running yourself out of a business while Amazon makes the vast majority of the profits.
Totally. Just the other day I kicked over some whore, pissed on her and then threw a couple of bucks at her. And that bitch had the audacity to complain! So I told her "What do you have to complain about, bitch? You got some money out of this".
That a company does not "like" something is not a legal reason get it taken dow. "Nominative use" has been upheld by the 9th Circuit as being acceptable use of a trademark back in the 90s.
In America, the person with the most money always wins, even if they ARE total assholes who are wrong in the eyes of the law.
This is simply the case everywhere. Please do point to these fabled countries that somehow provides a perfectly egalitarian system where the wealthy and powerful have no imbalance of power over everyone else.
Actually it was not based on the Nazis if Poul Anderson is to be believed:
I never joined in the idiot cries of "fascist!" It was plain that the society of Starship Troopers is, on balance, more free than ours today. I did wonder how stable its order of things would be, and expressed my doubts in public print as well as in the occasional letters we exchanged. Heinlein took no offense. After a little argument back and forth, we both fell into reminiscences of Switzerland, where he got the notion in the first place. [Anderson 1992:319]
I was surprised how well the movie tried to follow the plot of the book.
In what way did the movie follow the plot of the book? Verhoeven even admitted that he didn't even finish the novel. He supposedly read a couple of chapters then got bored and stopped. Outside of a handful of similar events they are almost nothing alike.
Those policies or practices are obviously supported by somebody otherwise they wouldn't be happening.
Sure, but not by a rational person let alone the person you responded to.
I support no such thing.
Your posts say otherwise, shill.
He was able to commit crimes of his own.
His "crime" is no worse than the people who broke segregation laws, etc. Sometimes laws are not just or correct and deserve to be broken for the benefit of the people. Whereas traitors like yourself will justify any misdeed of the government.
No, what caused harm was the act that was committed not that it was exposed. Stop being an asshat. There would have been no harm at all if the spying had not been done in the first place.
When you can't disprove what someone says you simply assassinate their character by lumping them in with pedophiles, terrorists, smugglers, etc. and claim that the discredited person is providing them aid.
No, it's clearly the new of the leaks that did it. Last week there wasn't a diplomatic crisis, then the leaks came, and now there is a diplomatic crisis.
Quiet diplomacy is only possible when confidentiality is possible.
This just in: mass surveillance of your "allies" pisses them off!
There will probably be more human smuggling and trafficking due to Snowden.
Hahaha! Good old cold fjord. Yeah, it wasn't the fault of the people doing the spying it was Snowden's!! Yeah just like it was the fault of the woman being raped because she wasn't dressed in a burqa not that of the rapist, right?
And they have plenty of mouthpieces and jingoists to spread such misinformation and propaganda. People like cold fjord are the real traitors of the people not Snowden.

Oh and the logo was not "all over the place". It was used only at the very top of the page.

I've known many people who have seen the movie. None of them thought it was serious. You seem to be making shit up out of whole cloth.

Unless one is planted into GCC.
Around 28.7 million according to this.
Characterizing you based on your statements is not character assassination. It is simply pointing out reality.

The leaks have created diplomatic problems that are likely to prevent effective intervention against the smuggling.
No, spying on them caused the diplomatic issues. It would have caused diplomatic issues no matter how they found out about it.
No, what caused harm was the act that was committed not that it was exposed. Stop being an asshat. There would have been no harm at all if the spying had not been done in the first place.
Noone has said this is an excuse for the NSA spying on everyone in the world, including US citizens.
cold fjord and his sockpuppets excluded, I assume?
When you can't disprove what someone says you simply assassinate their character by lumping them in with pedophiles, terrorists, smugglers, etc. and claim that the discredited person is providing them aid.
When you can't dispute what the person is saying the tried-and-true strategy is to simply use character assassination instead.
You think cold fjord was trying to actually give accurate info?
False dillema is false. One can be against both the retaliation attacks and the spying at the same time.
Not to mention his silly "think of the children!!" part at the end.
"It wasn't his fault that he raped her. That slut wasn't wearing her burqa that day and he just couldn't help himself."
-cd fjord's logic applied to rape cases
The person who submitted this propaganda piece.
No, it's clearly the new of the leaks that did it. Last week there wasn't a diplomatic crisis, then the leaks came, and now there is a diplomatic crisis.

"But everyone does it!!"
