Try that sh*t on my property and you'll be pulling back a bloody stump and find that marker in a very uncomfortable place.
What kind of ass are you to promote that kind of behavior? People generally work pretty hard for the things they own, even harder for the things they make or build.
So you're saying that you'd have no issue with someone spewing their propaganda across every single thing you own, including the shirt on your back?
Man, you're a tool. It's called "civil" disobedience for a reason.
"Would any of us have heard of this if he hadn't been arrested?
Well, let's see, he was doing it in NYC, and of course no one lives there, or visits.
And he didn't seem to have any difficulty getting news coverage before he was arrested.
Jebus man, grow a brain, read a book, something. A protest is simply a way to say I disagree. If you're going to get arrested for an act of civil disobedience you'd better be getting arrested for breaking the law you oppose to get it contested.
9 out of 10 of these political protest idiots are stupid sheeple, college kids and others like them who don't even know the facts about what they are protesting! Witness how many were eager to sign a petition about dihydrogen monoxide without even asking what it was.
No it just means the streaming stations you listen to are no better than the crappy radio stations that talk ove the beginning and end of each track or bleed on into the next.
"Music labels fear that the convenience of MacLean's software will lead millions more to copy and distribute songs over file-sharing networks such as KaZaA, a music industry source said."
I guess they missed Streamripper and others like it then... I'm surprised none of them has had a stroke yet from all the stress they give themselves.
Yeah, I've heard similar stories, but I think you've missed the point that you could parade me past a hundred everyday "approved" items and I could tell you how to use 90 of them as weapons.
Having ghost-written papers for a Masters Degree candidate (in English lit no less) and seeing each one of them get A's. While the student's own efforts were B+ at best, only supports my theory that stupidity and incompetence is rather rampant among higher ed students. Oh, and the kicker here, the student is working toward a thesis about selling term papers to other college kids(as in its a legitamate thing), some sort of 'term-papers-for-hire" thing, and appearantly they aren't alone. I frankly don't know why this wouldn't get someone thrown out on their ass.
If the TSA wanted to improve security they would start pressuring the FAA to mandate solid bulkheads between the cockpit and passanger compartment on all commercial airliners. No access means no one (excepting flight crew) can drive it into something. But then heaven forbid we impose on the airline with the cost of something that has been repeatedly suggested and rejected for the better part of 20 years or more.
As far as passanger screening goes, the most dangerous weapon is the mind, so they can probably strip everybody naked (yeek!) and it still wouldn't be any safer if your terrorist were well-trained, fit, and clever.
I have to definately agree with you on the air-martials, tho it bothered me that I'd been able to pick out a few here and there.
I find it very disturbing that airport screening is like this.
What's more dangerous, an 80-some year old man with a pocket knife or a former Army Ranger or Navy SEAL or martial arts expert traveling in his pajamas?
Guess maybe I should remember never to mention to the airport folks that shoelaces make a nice garrot. Nevermind a belt or the strap on a carry-on.
The instant you say "stealing music" in any debate on this subject you invalidate your entire argument. Learn the proper terminology please, this is about unauthorized publication.
No, I merely stated that the law should be fair and balanced in its application. You know, punishment fits the crime and all that? I never said anyone could commit a crime because someone else wasn't punished enough, I addressed the initial punishment. Consider also that one person who shares a few songs will be subjected to the same 'justice' as a guy sharing TB's of stuff 24/7. The tactics employed seem to say if you're going to share music, you may as well share a lot. After all, its not like the law is willing or capable of addressing either the severity of the crime or the extent of victims rightful damage claims.
No, if the law is broken then the law should rectify the situation in a balanced fashion.
They paid far too little and very unevenly, they paid a small sum to ANYONE who purchased music in that timeframe. However I have purchased over $2000 of music in that period. I got about $13. the guy who only bought on CD gets the same. Yeah, seems real fair....

Learn. Think. Act.
Simple.
Civil suits. You can sue anyone at any time for any reason.
Joy.
Aesthetics be damned, I want durablility. Can a drop it from 4 feet onto concrete?

Pardon?
Did you just say Showgirls was decent?
I want my 8 bucks back.
There were supposed to be 9 chapters anyway, at least thats what the original intention was.
I don't know when the idea got popularized that there were going to be only 6 movies.
At this point tho, I think there are many who have a firm belief that there are only the original 3, and I for one can't blame them.

Coins? They can't bring in coins?!
You mean to tell me they are so insanely paranoid that they have banned legitimate forms of currency?
That's just truely truely sad.
Unreliable obviously, but if you'll notice I didn't mention the web, it was a series of PBS specials about the history of the olympics.

That's already happened, or have you forgotten the kid who wore a Pepsi shirt to school on Coke day?
Not according to the recent PBS Olympic history programs, but then who's to say that anyone ever fact-checks these days.
Well the Olympic rings symbol was a fabrication of NAZI archeologists, and the torch relay was created to make Hitler's games a spectacle....
And yet somehow they endure.

Please let a router outage determine whether or not I get any memos written!
People who broke the law? Like the record companies' price fixing?
They paid squat and furthermore got to unload warehouses full of crap on schools and libraries too boot.
No, not really, its just that the concept of equal justice under the law seems to have gone ight out the window.
*sigh*
The system needs to be scrapped.
The appropriate solution is ZERO access to the flight deck from the passanger conpartment.
Fix the plane designs and the issue goes away.
They can still blow one up, but not drive it into something.
And what then when CR and DVD writing capability is built into the OS?
Not gonna play many games then I bet....
