I realy wonder what some people read in your post to mod it up.
This is an image of a seemingly nude minor in an innocent pose, these two together or on their own, do not at all make it pornography.
If just because of the age of the publication, I mean the record plus cover, it has all merits of having become art.
Do you go into Roman Catholic churches and start condemning the angels painted on the ceilings?
But they might block the sale of the guy who signed a contract (MAP).
One of the reasons is that manufacturers want several outlets selling their product, allowing one, probably a very large one, to sell it below a certain price could cause other suppliers to stop distribution or even go under.
The end result would be that the large supplier, say Walmart, would become the only retailer and thus dictate his pricing to the manufacturer.
Here in Europe there is a fear only internet shops can survive, thus having a very negative effect on the regular shops and the livelihood of our city centers.
This requires some careful balancing of various interests.
Hey, that sounds like democracy, the majority decides!
But you also point out why we need a 'Level Playing field', it is not a Dictatorship of the Majority we want or need.
There is strong sentiment within several of the member states of the EU to withdraw from the organization.
But none of them is a key member.
The Governments of England, France and Germany do not wish to give away more of their own sovereignty or power, yet they wish to maintain or increase their influence upon the management and direction of the EU itself.
You are wrong about Germany, historically it's only the UK and France that limit the rights of the European Parliament.
At the same time as they want to remain as much a part from it as possible. If the EU were to become a proper union it would drastically reduce the power of some of the founding states, while increasing the influence of economically weaker nations (such as Poland).
We (Europeans) elect the commision too, directly via our national governments.
Indirect voting is just another form of democracy, a bit like the electoral vote in the USofA.
The real problem are France and the UK, they form an axis of evil that refuses to grant the European Parliament full rights. This is especially cynical when you see and hear how the British press is always going on about the so-called non-elected bureaucrats in Brussels, I believe the British scandal press is part of the European problem not getting solved.
Though I don't necessarily agree, I find your opinion valid, this is a more worthy subject than plain old 'why should I pay for someone else's health care?'
From the way you spell I think I can conclude you are from North America.
Over here in Europe we see education as a corner stone of society and as such it is by many, if not most, seen as a right.
A more recent problem is that less people understand such rights given by society also form a duty to society.
The politicians we elect to take care of the shop know they have to answer questions every election and to make the results appear good they are no doubt tempted to lower standards to make results look good.
But at the same time we have to realise a lot more people are going to higher forms of education than 50 years ago, as we can safely assume the average intelligence of the population has not increased by the same amount it is easy to predict the average intelligence of those entering (higher) education has dropped.
We should be cautious to only blame politics for a lowering of standards over all, but we can complain about the way these standards are applied at specific levels of education.
So you believe a nation can (or even has to) continue using a centuries old constitution with disregard for the changes that happened during that time?
When the times required it amendments have been made to the US constitution, do you really think that (a constitutional amendment) is the only way to include healthcare in the list of things the federal government has the right to promote as part of the general welfare?
Please have a look around, the rest of the world is screaming past you.
Because our laws know different levels of control.
Above all are the human rights, the right of information (communication) is way on top, a basic human right.
You could probably find offences that if repeated sufficiently often could warrant a reduction of this right, sharing IP as we know it is not going to be one of them.
Madam Secretary would likely not know how to change from text to html, the issue starts with mail clients that are defaulting to rich text or whatever.
Besides, the mail server can strip all html before storing, all it needs is support from a corporate policy.
But maybe I'm the decision maker at the end of the chain...
Various departments work together on a proposal and eventually I am involved for the final say.
It's not uncommon I ask for some information on how they have come to the proposal and I'm confronted with these weird -read-from-bottom-to-top- conversations, they're not conductive to a smooth process.
When not on Slashdot we're expected to read the message we reply to.
Deleting the bit that's already answered, not relevant or whatever can hardly be called 'editing', it has more to do with comprehension.
One of the worst things for the latter is a typical corporate Outlook mail exchange (I know that word...) with at the bottom text that hasn't been read for the last ten replies.
Slashdot Mirror
It sounds like you work for one of the british Tabloids.
Looking at list list of publications involved I can hardly find any papers, they're mostly tabloids.
Tabloids have an advantage, you find one that's maybe several months old and it's still fun reading, after all they don't contain 'news'.
You got to be American to read a story about a Danish study and then question a Dutch one...
Aside of wich you seem not to be interested in ANY study, I hope you don't have children, or anyone else, depending on your 'judgment'.
Sorry to see you are an AC because you need to be reported.
And you have so see your parents and demand your education back.
Because the stuff you write here classifies you as a scary scumbag.

Which got jack shit to do with a MAP. the subject of the article.

Come on!
That elderly Lady is the best you have...
NOTE: Ireland ALSO voted no.
And feels mislead and regrets it.
Hey dumbo AC, how do you think we get our national governments?
In Europe they don't generally appoint themselves.
There is strong sentiment within several of the member states of the EU to withdraw from the organization.
But none of them is a key member.
The Governments of England, France and Germany do not wish to give away more of their own sovereignty or power, yet they wish to maintain or increase their influence upon the management and direction of the EU itself.

Maybe because local politicians don't want to hand over money, sorry, power?
Though I don't necessarily agree, I find your opinion valid, this is a more worthy subject than plain old 'why should I pay for someone else's health care?'
Except there are still no good IPv6 capable load balancers, that'll stop most serious ISP's.
The large AND small flush want their own, just like the lid and seat!
Don't get me started about the light switch, extraction fan and deodorant dispenser...
I had never seen your 'old theme', thanks for the repost because I thinks it explains the subject nicely.

A rather big difference.
