So, people are copying things left and right, breaking the law in the process. Of course the law is only valid so much as the general population supports it. Maybe if this many people are breaking this law or set of laws, they need to be rethought. It's like democracy or something...imagine that!
A saying, from whom I can't remember: "We're all immigrants, or from families there of, we just got here at different times."
Without foreigners, the US would not exist, and without more foreigners, it can not grow, change, or have any right to call itself the land of the free.
In Jihad vs McWorld, Benjamin R. Barber presents a poignant argument about how entertainment is at the heart of his so call McWorld. McWorld is his term for the assimilating global behaviour of multi-national corporations. It is the entertainment sector of the American corporate scene that sells best in the non-American world. As a result every company desiring a stake in the global economy, which is any company that wants to survive, must embrace the globalizing force of the entertainment sector. As a result, we are starting to see the mega mergers between companies, one of which is often an entertainment provider.
The easiest and most obvious marriages are between companies are between companies that create the entertainment product and those that own the means to deliver the product. As Barber points out, if you own the pipeline, why not own the stuff that goes down it. From there, many other type of mergers become obvious. Why not own the appliance on which it is watched? Or the food people eat as they watch it? In some cases this already has occurred. Hence, Seagram's, before it was bought, venture into the entertainment market.
So, expect more media mega mergers, and expect it to be harder not to support companies to who support the RIAA. Perhaps soon, buying toothpaste will help the RIAA, if not already.
The science in Computer Science is the math and theory. CS is fundamentally and mathematical discipline, it is not about coding in C or Java. These practical languages are taught so one can demonstrate the theory and help to get a job. CS in proving that SAT is NP-Complete or that the Halting problem is an incomputable function not that "static private void" is a particular type of function declaration.

Ok, someone write an OS in it.
Mass transit is for suckers and people who aren't in a hurry. ...or who care about the planet and if their children will be able to breath.
