If this was an issue of commercial infringement and breach of contract, I don't believe anyone would have an issue with the $2M award. It doesn't matter if it is music or not.
Slashdot groupthink seems to have an issue with NON-commercial infringement being lumped together with commercial and treated the same way, which is unethical.
The guy selling DVDs or CDs on the streets in NY should be sued for commercial infringement. The guy accidentally (or intentionally) sharing his music collection on Napster never should have been hit with more than a couple thousand in damages, as they aren't selling the item.
The case here is that the images were used under a contract that stated that the images could only be used inside the building (not online) and for a term of 2 years. The contract was breached in both ways, and used entirely commercially (advertising is commercial usage, not non-commercial).
Not according to the bible and the Catholic church, they claim it is 100% true and it's to be taken literally.
As a Catholic, I challenge you to come up with proof of that statement. I have never been taught that the bible should be entirely read as literal truth. There are many places in the bible that are stories, so not meant to be taken as fact. Adam and Eve is one of these stories, if it was literally true, who recorded the story?
So, are you looking to make it more difficult to drive, since you are still more likely to die from a car than a gun, even though there are more guns than cars in the US.
I have seen open carrying women (southern Virginia, in a supermarket). I am sure there are many concealed carry women around as well. Or is your wife to fragile to carry her own firearm?
Is that so the target thinks "ooo pretty" just before having their head removed? Also, from reading about it, it looks like bismuth shatters instead of lead expanding, wouldn't this cause interesting issues in ammo?
What does bismuth ammo look like? If it was bismuth oxide, you could probably sell it to rednecks easily as they always seem to go for the pretty rainbow knives.
The poor in America have a roof over their head, food on their table, a phone in their pocket, and money to spend. How exactly are Canadian or European poor significantly different?
America has a homeless problem, but this is generally not caused by being poor but by some kind of mental illness (such as addiction). There are many programs for these people, but for various reasons, they prefer to live the homeless lifestyle. This is a totally different issue.
as a ham, I am likely to eff up my eyes when I key the rig. no, not ever, never, ain't coming near here.
Unlikely. You would have to be transmitting with more power than the lens can handle at exactly the right frequency. With QI chargers, this frequency is such that it cannot travel very far, in the case of a lens, who knows what frequency they would use.
Do you worry about your computer exploding because you transmit on the wifi frequencies?
Negative Mass/FTL travel is already being experimented with. Just because you don't think it is possible, or that it is fantasy, doesn't mean you are correct.
The power needed to create a spacecraft that could use a warp drive is well beyond what we can do right now, but it isn't impossible like you are implying.
So, rather than follow the links I provided that give links to the actual things, you want me to hold your hand through it? I cannot visit Kotaku from work, so all I can give is the links I have given. If you are going to be willfully ignorant, that is your problem, and not mine.
I can't prove a negative, obviously.
So then why do you claim:
For example, the allegations about Quinn have been shown to be false beyond all reasonable doubt
So, either you can prove it, or you can't. It sounds like you are stuck on the word "review" which is a term that comes from the anti-GG campaign, not from GG, that merely talked about a series of posts he made about Quinn while they were at least friends, if not more.
If you want lots of links to read through, you should also read this entry on the same blog:
As it goes through and provides all those citations that even Wikipedia doesn't seem able to provide, and goes through the Wikipedia entry section by section disproving tons of it with citations. Feel free to refute anything that is said there since you know so much more about the situation.
Here are the articles you asked for BTW, which you could ahve found quite quickly on your own:
Nathan Grayson has, provably[SIC], written twice about Zoe Quinn’s Depression Quest in a favorable manner without disclosure at both Kotaku, on March 31st, 2014 [ http://api.viglink.com/api/cli... ] , and Rock, Paper, Shotgun on January 8th, 2014 [ http://api.viglink.com/api/cli... ] . It was proven that Grayson and Quinn were close together since January 10th, 2014 [ http://api.viglink.com/api/cli... ] and had at least known each other since June, 2012 [
I think you have put me in a bucket I do not reside in. I am not a "think of the X" type person, I am just mentioning that smoking has real risks, and causes real harm. Having red hair really doesn't cause real harm.
I am a reformed smoker, but I am not one who tries to limit what other people do to their bodies. I don't agree with smoking being banned in many of the places where it has been banned, though I do agree with limiting it in places where the air handling gear isn't up to the task. I think the ban Maryland implemented on smoking in bars is absurd, and not based on facts.
If you want regulations around DHMO, you are welcome to do so, you should look at the EPA for those though.
I work very near Columbia, but I live nearer the Baltimore beltway. I don't know how much entry level makes, but that is what I made when I was entry level a little more than 10 years ago. Since then I have moved up quite a bit, so it isn't really representative of what I make now.
I would tend to agree on NoVA and inside the DC beltway though, those areas can be pretty pricey.
For example, the allegations about Quinn have been shown to be false beyond all reasonable doubt (still waiting for a link to that review), yet GG supporters keep bringing it back up. If they cared at all about ethics, they would start by being ethical and retracting that allegation.
Feel free to come up with any citations supporting that position. Did the journalist not sleep with her? Did he get fired for conflict of interest? Did Kotaku fix their conflict of interest policy because of this?
But then again, it is usual for you to just dismiss every citation given, but to give none of your own. I have seen this behavior repeatedly from you, as well as being willfully blind to that which is inconvenient to your positions. No surprise there that you are unwilling to even acknowledge that which doesn't support your position about how horrible all the GG people are, and how all the Anti-GG people wear white and are angelic in nature.
In the DC area, I bought a house on $30k just over 10 years ago. I make a good amount now, but not 6 digits...yet. I think you are a bit off for the DC area, though I am about halfway between DC and Baltimore.

That gun is adorable, it needs hello kitty stickers all over it :)
I can understand the cultural issue, I just wonder if in the situation her response would be to grab a gun, as culture is pretty ingrained.
Show anywhere that the Catholic church (what you wrote!) teaches that the bible is absolute fact?
Was the good samaritan an actual person, or was it just a story Jesus told to illustrate a point?
Not according to the bible and the Catholic church, they claim it is 100% true and it's to be taken literally.
That is your statement I had issue with, please, show where the Catholic church claims that the bible is 100% true and should be taken literally.

Offering your country's secrets to China and Russia is treason however.

Just FYI, using someone who is charge with treason, for you know, actually committing treason, doesn't make your argument very strong.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. I am waiting to see what happens with the contract I work on.
