Could someone explain to me how a skipped ad, in which the person has absolutely no desire to ever see the ad, buy the product, or otherwise succumb to feminine hygeine products, is any different than walking away during commercials, or can in any way be construed as "lost revenue"?
If a person skips an ad (or, fast forwards it), they very obviously had no desire to ever submit dollars to that product/company, or would do so already without the ad in the first place.
'Cause circumventing restrictions to do something, even for longer periods of time, is quite obviously an addiction. Whatever happened to just "having fun"?
Seriously though, the assumption that every CD burned is pirated is rather disgusting. Does that mean home movie compilations are officially owned/leased by the recording industry now?
I'm not sure I'd want to create the world's largest repository of this sort of thing. Not only does it implicate the datacenter as horribly wrong, but anyone that touches it. They might not get their jollies off on that sort of thing, but that question is probably not asked of the people they're trying to catch, either.
This is just "icky." Imagine if someone decided to hack this, heh.
If you'll excuse me, I believe I need to wash my hands a few dozen times now..
Yes, you probably are the only one that wants to be held hostage by a company. This sort of thing is very typical of AOL. They simply do not want to cancel any subscriptions and the representatives will do anything to avoid doing so.

Such an incredibly significant amount of time has passed.
If I wanted to play sports, I would be outside!

Absolutely disgusting.
Yes. And it's fear like that which justifies breaching everyone's privacy, assuming we are all guilty of something horriffic. Right?
Then you would live life in fear.
The consumers generally win though.
...until Wal*Mart has virtually no competition in the area.
NO. Just seriously, no.
And if you DID pay for it, and DID NOT install the spyware, what then?
The loot for that quest is terrible for the time it takes to complete. I'd advise against it, opting for the more effient raid on the refridgerator.
Wait. You're telling me I could get paid to do something I already do? So tempting.

"Introduced" and "passed" are two different states of being.
So, sadly, in my limited experience, the sheeple are not going to be bothered any time soon...
If you start mentioning paralells to a certain European country in the mid 30's, I'm sure that'll turn their heads. It's frightening, really.
Why should guilt be introduced to people who have nothing to be guilty about?

After all the bullshit being done the Government lately, I don't goddamned well think I'll sign up for any voluntary fingerprinting.
Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail?
Yes? How hard is it to realize that paying $15/mo for (similar) entertainment is a better option than shelling out $50 every few weeks?
The formatting for the questions is absolutely horrid.
'more interested in protecting' her library than helping the police.
You don't say? That's precisely why that rule exists in the first place! Fucking morons.

You mean, they might have to provide alternatives on-disk? The horror.
Suuure. They have "contained" P2P piracy so well, that maybe they should open the doors to their offices more often.
