  1. Re:Living the lie on RIAA Says P2P Encourages Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1
    Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something there, but that appeared to be nothing more than the list of people it is illegal to sell to. Nothing is there that says a private citizen is required by law to sell a firearm to another private citizen, nor anything that states that a private citizen is required by law to sell a firearm to a private citizen who has stated that the purpose of the purchase is to commit a crime, much less the murder given as an example.

    A firearms dealer doesn't HAVE to sell you anything.

    Of course, walking in to a gun store and stating that you wish to purchase a gun to perpetrate first degree murder is likely one of those reasons that qualify as grounds for refusal.

    I don't think there's any other known slogan, except maybe "Sorry about that, but it's still in beta."

    Again, another sentiment that MS can disagree with. Why go so far as Beta, when you can ship and charge a shitload of money for pre-Alpha?
