They are in effect profiting from piracy, while also being complicit in the offending.
The fact that this is legal under the current interpretation of law is more reflective of a fucked up judicial process than anything else.
Good luck flying to New Zealand without going through Australia considering most international flights stopover there. If this shit keeps up hopefully that will change.
If the law has been broken i damn well do. Maybe not selectively but them selectively choosing not to enforce the law with regards to person in a position of power when it's brought to their attention by numerous individuals strikes me as highly immoral.
They both the bad guys, doesn't have to one or the other. I assume UMG owns the copyright to their artists works, so why shouldn't they be liable when they publish copyrighted material as their own?
Way off topic, but scaffolding is not low risk. Its safe as long as you don't fall, which which takes a lot of skill and confidence (at the heights i routinely work at even dropping a spanner could kill someone), and wearing and correctly using a harness is no guarantee of surviving a fall as the blood in your legs turns toxic due to the harness cutting off circulation. The time this takes to happen varies from person to person but the lower limit is around 15 minutes (some people can last a lot longer).
Remember kids, being in the construction industry is more dangerous than being a cop (at least in New Zealand)
If only the Americans had thought of this when they wrote up the skynet law for us - but don't worry i'm sure amendments will be applied retroactively and under urgency if they forgot.
And here i was thinking they used IEds because they don't have stock piles of mines etc just lying around( or could just be easier to get hold of materials), I doubt the state of american tech had much to do with that decision.
Have to agree here, cars that do well in collisions tend to compress as much as possible to dissipate energy, so a smart cart bouncing off a wall at 100km an hour probably isn't solid evidence.
You seriously believe that the legislation wont be amended in the future? There's already been plenty of speculation that they're going to go light on the first round of infringements in order to negotiate a reduction in processing fee's(the legislation comes up for review within the next year i believe),
Kangaroo fucken country, all of our politicians are spouting off about fiscal responsibility when they've pandered to American interests to push through a one sided 'fair trade' agreement which has the potential to see vast amounts of money taken out of our economy and for what?
This law is nothing but detrimental for the New Zealand people. (PS i know that pirating=bad but when you see wage stagnation for effectively everyone (lets ignore the 140 something criminals who took home 7.1 billion last year) and all the signs of run away inflation, who really gives a shit.
And does this study distinguish between those going to hospital due to marijuana and those there for other reasons who happen to have pot in their system? Personally ive never seen someone need to go to hospital due to pot use alone ( and im sure im not the only one thats seen people smoke very large amounts of the stuff over a night and even wake up hangover free if maybe a bit dazed) I call bullshit that majiuana puts anywhere near half the number of people that alcohol does.

Only rich people though? Not like you're gonna know which minute you need

Everyone would flock to their tv's to watch the news coverage if there was an attack anyway, i fail to see how it being televised makes a difference.
And a and supported free version on android as well. Instead of fighting the market they're catering to it.
strange how that's working out for them

Pretty sure some of the devs over at xda use it for their android code. That alone is a pretty big loss
