Which is why in the UK they only have 14 days to send the prosecution notice out - any longer than that and you can respond stating you are unaware due to the length of time.
Amazing, right wingers can find ANY Bible quote and twist it to say what they want, but something as simple as basic compassion seems to throw them for a loop.
So you dont pay for the Police force either, from the same misguided "ideals"? What about a fire service? After all, if your house / car never catch fire, what are you paying for?
With everyone paying into the pot, the individual costs go down.
What abou thtose people who *choose* to get prostate cancer, or leukaemia, or who have children born with heart defects? Why should you be forced to pay for them?!?
Sorry, like schools, police and fire service Heatl is a community concern and your choice does nto come into it. Welcome to civilisation.
Well, almost, the US has a long way to go before it can be called civilised.
But the 35million who dont who now will probably do think it is a change.
Trust me, even in the UK with our crappy NHS it is still leagues ahead of the US system. The thought of being financially crippled unto the 3rd generation because the latest disease got to me makes me wonder how you can call yourself "civilised".
Then sue for an amount less than £5000, where it is *automatically* Small Claims Court. Even magistrates court is "cheap"
Oh, and "loser pays" is not always the case - if you are found to have unwarranted costs (for example, retaining a QC to handle a simple copyright matter) then you may find you are told to pay them yourself, even if you win.
In essence *both* sides have a duty to mitigate costs, and any failure to do so is looked down on, usually from a great height...
Slashdot Mirror
It was included in the manual and, pre launch, heavily advertised by the CEO of SCE US
Both count as advertising a feature that was then removed.
Except the consumers dont need to go anywhere near sony (unless they bought directly) - their contract is with the Retailer.
If the Retailer refuses to refund you, you take the retailer to court and win.
They then take Sony to court, under the same legislation, and win.
Sonys EULA *cannot* abrograte this law, as the law *explicitly* states that it cannot be overridden pre or post facto.
Actually they dont need to - the Retailer MUST refund the consumer.
The retailer then has recourse under EU Law (the same law the guy quoted to get the refund) to pursue Sony.
And that clause does ntohing (if it even exists) as it is both unconscionable AND violates the Banking Code.
Banks will try to pretend otherwise, but that doesnt make it true...

My contract is with the person selling me the item, that is the person responsible for it working as advertised.
Amazon then hand the bill to Sony, as that is who THEIR contract is with (For example...)
Loser pays is the norm
So if you drag it out and lose, you pay everything (assuming the other side incurred "reasonable" expenses
This is a very very very effective system, as both sides are required to minimise expenses - if you dont, even if you win you may not get full costs.
Incorrect - the communications act 2000 extended it to include ANY live broadcast, whether you recieve it over the air or over the net.
So if they made it a tax you would be ok with it?
Illogic ftw
Yes, but that is because a libel system where even the *truth* isnt an absolute defence is idiotic.
Given local magistrates (and i know more than 1 or 2) general opinions the likelihood is any big co rep is going to get a hard time.
Or, rather 1) they force HMOs to spend 85% of premiums on health care.
so they can jack premiums up only if they actually spend more on health care.
In the UK you have "Statutory SIck Pay", which is the minimum your employer can pay while you are off sick.
Most reasonable employers still pay full wage, either indefinitely or have a number of days per year, after which you are switched to SSP.
And in the UK it is 11% National Insurance whcih goes into hospitals and a (paltry) pension.
Its part of "love thy neighbour", dolt.

Not a Christian btw, just amused.

I assume you dont pay for the police either? On the assumption you would never choose to be burgled?
Oh wait, your argument has a massive, massive flaw in it. ONe so big you seem incapable of seeing it.
What abou thtose people who *choose* to get prostate cancer, or leukaemia, or who have children born with heart defects? Why should you be forced to pay for them?!?
Sorry, like schools, police and fire service Heatl is a community concern and your choice does nto come into it. Welcome to civilisation.
Well, almost, the US has a long way to go before it can be called civilised.
Pros: insurance companies HAVE to spend at least 85% of premiums on health cover.
Ah wait, sorry, that entirely undermines your first and presumably most improtant point, doesnt it. Sorry!
Sorry, but cetain things you *dont* havea choice on - I assume you dont like being ordered to pay for Police, fire, schools, etc?
Oh wait, community has decided that this needs to be "universal" (well almost) and so *tough*.
Because 85% of premiums have to go on treatment, not "overhead", or profit as it is commonly known.
But the 35million who dont who now will probably do think it is a change.

Incorrect and a fundamentally naive argument.
If you break your arm and cannot work, you are now someone elses problem. FIxing that problem at that stage is now more expensive on all levels.
Good health care pays for itself in the longer term, and if youa re too short sighted to see that - well, that is why mob rule isnt in place.
I assume you have the same "moral" problems with community funded police, fire, and school services?
Sorry, there are some things that you dont get to have a choice over, and public health is one of them.
