I wish the rest of you humans all understood math so you could understand how to survive on this planet optimally, instead of like a bunch of mindless chimps.
Why does every article say they're going to get you for "downloading" copyrighted material. Since when can they get you in the US for downloading copyrighted material? I thought the only issue was with distributing/seeding it.
I know they rank us. But it's all confidential and they won't even tell you your rating. Sometimes you can get vague things like "average" or "below average" out of them but the actual grad is confidential. No idea if there's a curve. The evaluation metrics are also unknown.
Get used to replies like that. The standard argument used for force these days is "but I need it to get something i really want!". Nobody will ever address the issue of what right they have to coerce others.
Well, if you want to go back to a cave, no one's stopping you,
Actually, I'm sure a lot of people would try to stop me. Probably violates all sort of zoning and housing laws. Hard to escape the reach of government.
They could just rank the paid customers higher or even hide the free listings by default. Then at least the free listings would remain available if what I wan't isn't being sold by any paying customers.
True. We could have universal health care AND freedom over our own bodies. It's just that freedom would result in higher costs and apparently Americans don't value freedom enough to pay for it. Why can't we just consider the cost of healthcare for the obese, and drug users, and any other risky behavior to be the cost of living in a free society?
EULAs aren't automatically valid and legally binding. It depends on the court and the particular EULA.
the decision for the court to rule this case out was just.
Not so clear either. What if the "contract" is invalid or unfair? You can't just put whatever arbitrary bullshit you want into a contract and have it hold up. A sane court could have easily ruled that the terms of the EULA are unfair. You seem to have a weird definition of "just".

I'll start giving a shit about laws when they stop being written by oligarchs, industrialists, fascists, the .1%...
Yeah. This probably cuts down on our national scientific output quite a bit.
Wouldn't your first paragraph violate bell's theorem?

Wait, are you trying to say that's not wasted money, and lives?
Fund it with existing income or property taxes
You don't need permission to link to something.
Everyone should be carrying a few forms of ID
What the fuck? Since when? Unless you're driving or at the airport who gives a shit?

If your security depends on "vetting" you've already lost.

How do we determine who gets to have a voice? Leave it up to you?
For fucks sake can you people stop misunderstanding the intent of the commerce clause.
Netflix will need to mail a Braille transcript.
Species around less than a million years thinks it will be around forever. LOL.

If you want your business to show up on google maps it has to pay up. Could hide your city too if the local government doesn't pay to be listed.

Prohibition and the war on drugs had nothing to do with public health
Are you really saying "public health" wasn't used as justification by prohibitionists?
Also, this ban is in no way infringing on your freedom to buy pop and consume it at home.
Sure it is. It's saying I can't buy things at places I used to be able to buy them and in the quantity and container I prefer.

Assuming they're not making them and immediately burying them in a landfill somewhere...
Do you have any scientific basis for these claims or are you just making things up?

He said "wrong", not "illegal". Don't confused the two.
