This is not the same in the slightest. While I agree that we need to pay close attention to property rights for consumers, this case makes sense.
A vendor was selling illegal copies of the works digitally on amazon. The looked as if they had been canned in from paper copies, and the seller did not have rights.
Amazon pulled the digital copies - from users - AND REFUNDED. Consumers were then free to pick up a real, verified, licensed copy.
This was not censorship on Amazon's part, and in some ways was protecting the consumer from an inferior, potentially edited copy.
Conservatism, by it's very definition is to be conservative, to resist change. The primary motivation to resist change is fear of what change may bring. Elicit that fear in others and you have power over them. Both parties wield fear in this way to (only slightly) differing ends.
Guess what though... change is inevitable.. all things change both physical and societal. Entropy always increases, and entropy is change.

I do not regret listening to Good Mourning/Black Friday at full blast. Even if it caused damage. I am in my 40s now, and just this year I was at shows for GnR, Sabbath, Tool, Alice in Chains,Mastodon, and Gojira, all ranging from loud to very loud. All with no hearing protection. I still hear well enough, and will enjoy it while it lasts. I was gifted with exceptional hearing range though, and can still hear much higher frequencies than others my age (but not like when I was younger).
See the Mythbusters episode. The vehicle will float for a bit. As the cabin fills and it sinks it is still -floating- and close to the surface. If you conserve energy and take the last breath of air as the car fills, you can open the door and won't be that far under. Hopefully you can swim and it is not a swift current. That would be more troublesome. As one who used to kayak and raft whitewater, you can lose your orientation very quickly when submerged in a turbulent current.
1. Regulations are not created by some evil Liberul cabal in Berkeley that sits around smoking weed and drinking espressos saying, "How can we make business more difficult. Regulations arise because there is at least a few assholes who think, "If it's not illegal, then it's OK!" - even if it causes the deaths of people. So these regulations didn't come out of thin air - somewhere, they are (or were) protecting someone.
You are missing some things. There are regulations that are meant to protect as you mentioned. they protect people, the environment etc. However there is a second class of regulation. This class is lobbied for by business interests. these regulations create artificial market barriers to other businesses. A case in point is all the local, state, and federal wrangling companies like Comcast engage in to create regulations that stop or greatly increase costs for municipal broadband or other carriers to have access to existing infrastructure. Another example is the push to extend the reach and duration of various IP laws. This class of regulation is great for incumbent business as they have already passed the barriers or have the scale (or laws on their side) to easily circumvent them. These are detrimental to society and a free market in general and also typically stifle innovation.
Unfortunately, at least so far it seems, that Trump is more interested in removing the former type of regulation, things like environmental and labor regulations. Time will tell what really happens though.
You are in a foreign country with no passport and no proof of your right to be there. You do not speak the language. Many of your co-slaves and you have similar language barriers. Raise a ruckus, go to 3rd world hellhole jail. No money for bribes, illegal worker, etc. Now, if you manage to get out, you have more obligations and fines.
That is if the armed security force at the factory does not break a few of your ribs first.
Have a third party 'recruit' in poor areas with the promise of a highly skilled job. Transport to another country where you are at a disadvantage everywhere, take the passport, and give a menial, low-paying job with no means to easily contact family or repay your 'transport' debt.
I call bullshit. The eagles are potentially defending territory, or confusing drones for prey items. They are probably also getting injured in these attacks.
However, implying that the eagles are attacking due to the mining interests possible future actions is ludicrous. Also, mining is necessary to maintain the lifestyle yo enjoy. Otherwise go post on the internet with two sticks and some fur. I am all for protecting the eagles and the environment, but recognize our human needs too. And, I for one think flying a drone over prospect areas is much less intrusive than larger aircraft, and even less negative than slashing a road into a prospect area.

That is an interesting way to say fuck you. Wish I had good options for ad blockers on Android. (Shut up APK)

Schedule II includes meth, and coke... go figure
Yep.. spacenutters... what a way to refer to people who want to expand mankind's knowledge and abilities.
If pizzagate is real, I hope the CEO is getting paid off well to make himself look like a flounder buffoon.
Bulk discount maybe???
My kingdom for mod points. Rei has it here.
Then they were NO ONE's pictures.
They were EVERYONE's pictures.
FTFY
Public domain belongs to everyone, yet we let companies like Getty shit all over OUR property, then charge us for the privilege.
Wake up people...
Trump is not the god-emperor. He is the voice from the outer world. The Lisan al gaib. Meanwhile I will chant the litany.......

for basic dynamic DNS No-IP is who I use. Works with my netgear router flawlessly.
Good thing I use no-ip for my basic needs. I don't want to support Oracle if I can help it. I wouldn't piss on Larry Ellison if he was on fire.
