How is anyone giving him money if they download and watch the film. Even if you don't want to see it, those that do and download it aren't giving him one thin dime. This sort of overcomes the Neocon's objections that it's all about the money, although I'm sure they'll counter that Moore waited until the box office revenues peaked to make the pronouncement.

This would be a good test--would Apple be the one that would finally get the Royal Navy to cut the links to the platform, or to outright invade? Who would you expect to stand up and defend Sealand from a "British war of aggression?" (n.b. There's no oil on the platform.)
I'd write a paper letter to Apple, saying how I'd bought my first and last Mac, and would be telling everyone who would listen about my experience. But before that, I'd check to see if my credit card company offers some kind of price protection (American Express does, for example).
the 1990 Volvo 240 wagon, and sleeps better at night knowing that my insurance company and the police can't download my driving history from a black box, either.
OK. But if it were distributed non-commercially on a P2P network, there would be no one to go after. The GPL isn't out to try to restrict distribution--its ultimate goal is to rein in copyright.
The GPL is only a workaround to hoist copyright on its own petard. No one would bother with a binary copy of the Linux 2.6 kernel source, because pristine copies can be had anywhere. Either the GPL is valid or copyright is not--that's the whole point of the GPL.
They'll say Apple had no choice, that they'd lose their contracts with the record industry, that they're not really DMCA-wielding jackbooted thugs, that they're really not just a more stylish, metrosexual, smaller version of Microsoft, with more of a fiefdom than a monopoly.
It amazes me that a company like Apple that sometimes seems to "get it" is engaging in an attempt to litigate something off of the Internet. Search the peer to peer networks for "playfair" and see how well it's working. Is Apple going to start suing 13 year olds and grandmothers, too?
doesn't the 1 year contract to sell music via iTMS expire soon?
I don't think the RIAA will leave money on the table. Especially when they realize it'll be their slice of 99c/track from iTMS or their slice of nothing per track from boycotters and p2p downloaders.
If you piss either of them off, they'll have no trouble getting your contact information out of your ISP, legally or otherwise. Unless, of course, you're saying you've paid for your hosting or connectivity with money orders mailed from strange cities and taken the other myriad tedious precautions that would be necessary to preserve true anonymity.

If he were crying about his copyright being infringed, he would have been labelled as a rank hypocrite.
Maybe that's because Apple hasn't repeatedly abused the trust of its users and its software doesn't call home without the user's knowlege or consent?
Do you mean size in pixels, or does this OS have some mad AI :)?

So why hasn't the MPAA sued? Maybe Valenti's stable of shysters doesn't think it's so black and white.

Hey--thanks for the pointers! I'd heard of brickboard adn also bought a few things from IPD, but didn't know about turbobricks.
You could sell it on eBay :).

and all of a sudden, the computer was like BEEP BEEP BEEP. Now I have a Powerbook and crank out C&Ds in record time, with no crashes.
As Windows users typically pay for all their software and music. Not often do I see such trollish comments from one with a three digit UID :).

Neither did Windows.

I just call a spade a spade. If we have to be literal, I guess they can't call me a "pirate," then, right?
So who is more pathetic, the poster? Or you who has nothing better to do but make a meta comment about what you believe to be so insipid?
They're not giving away a damned thing. Due to their monopoly, the vast majority of machines already came with a license that was paid for once.
I wasn't aware that Adobe had apologized. I thought they just pretended to try to call off the feds after having sicced them on Sklyarov.
Which is why these business should be boycotted. They know full well that affiliate programs like that promote spam.
