Of course Germany has to appear apologetic otherwise it would have consequences. When you enter the country however and stay a while you will find out it's only what they want people to believe.
I agree with you. Music labels will try and hang on to the old as long as possible. Google just might be willing to finally take that major step into the digital world and do it's business there. The audience would be even bigger and given the right price and conditions even more would buy the music. The demand is there.
I cannot fully agree cuz I'm about to graduate but if there's one thing I'm sure about, it's that I haven't learned as near as much as I expected to learn @ uni. We tried to go to much into the breadth than depth, which in my opinion was the biggest mistake.
How will this be solved to our (the people) advantage ? afaik rallying or protesting won't help. In the end the same thing as that counterfeiting act will happen - everything will be done behind closed doors.
Would it be possible to create a organization like the w3c or ieee for worldwide free internet ? Driven by a system like the pirate party where every member has an equal vote.
I'm a noob at this stuff but would a free internet even be possible ? Say the organization gets together, defines a set of rules for a preconfigured device that anybody can buy, allowing them join or a create network with certain standards defined by the organization. E.g default IP protocol is IPv6, a suitable link layer WiMAX, 3G, 4G or even 5G using tor or freenet in the application layer.
Initial funding could be done with kickstart or flattr.

After reading the USA on the top of the list I knew this article was completely false.

What a useful way to spend money !
Been unknowingly boycotting that company for years. Their products just aren't my taste. W/e, I'll rsvp.
Technology moves forward. Deal with it.
That is the only thing you can say to those people. Sadly will do their best to hinder progress.
Just bringing down the web page is useless. Bring down the game servers and Sony WILL have a problem or a least a few angry customers.
Another thing the United States don't care about.
A judge acting in the interested the powerful. Nothing new.
...what a load of horse dung indeed.
I won't mind if the buttons are optional as they are now. Hopefully they won't force it on everybody using gnome or I might just really switch to KDE.

Bet that's owned by somebody and we'll have to buy land first before even setting up anything there.
If this were a case of free movies and free music the outcome would've been different...
