Precisely. A disgusting attempt by someone who is rich from money, a good proportion of which is stolen to buy his way out of death, while trying to paint it as philanthropy. Fortunately, even the rich can't buy their way out of the grave.
You could have gone to an out-of-town record store, wore some dark glasses and a stocking cap and bought that album. But no, you had to download it from ITMS, and now you're in a database of Madonna lovers. This fact is already being circulated to investigators, government agents, and companies who might have been future employers but for the fact that your love of Madonna had been lain bare. Nice going:).
After I posted that, I realized that it's probably better as is, because I can't think of an appropriately analogous word for "lock" that follows. Really, what is needed is a word that describes a vulnerability in a traditional lock. But that would be overthinking it a little:).
Almost as boneheaded as "grammer" for "grammar" -- next time you feel like self-righteously criticizing another's writing, you would do well to spell correctly.
Require journalists to launder reporting done outside China to make the PRC government look good, and revoke the ability to report from inside China for those publishing stories that don't tow the Party line. Nice. Of course, unconfiscable pictures from wireless digital cameras with satellite links are still going to get the story out of this government's oppression and brutality--it just won't have an AP byline anymore.
If you pay cash for an airline ticket, that's a sure-fire way to get directed to the TSA "rubber glove" line. Always use plastic for tickets, then pay it in full when the statement cuts (or before, if you prefer).

For things that don't require a large population with a good command (albeit with accent) of English, yes. India benefited from having been a British colony prior. The only part of China I can see that's similarly advantaged with respect to language is Hong Kong.
It can sure limit your ability to be hard if the dominant formats are owned and controlled by the Digital Restrictions Management purveyor (think Word).
Certificate Revocation List, anyone? Read John Walker's Digital Imprimatur--it shows exactly how Digital Restrictions Management infrastructure such as that being built by Microsoft can be used to inhibit freedom of speech. Opposition to DRM isn't just about music and movies, despite what corporations and governments would like us to think.
Seems reasonable enough, but it relies on a perfect criminal system. As the O.J. case illustrates, relying on an incorruptible criminal judicial system is folly. In this case, I was glad to see the family win a judgment. In normal cases (i.e. ones where someone didn't buy his acquittal like O.J. did), the acquittal would be a strong defense in a civil trial and the defendant would have little to worry about. He lost the civil case because he was so obviously guilty.
He wouldn't even get a public defender--he's not being criminally charged with anything. So either he'd have to represent himself or hire whatever lawyer he could get for what money he had.
It's not just going to be six years. Lexis-Nexis and other dossier-compiling companies and investigators will grab those listings as they are made and keep them forever. Anyone so accused is going to be destroyed for the rest of his life.
For example here locally, there's a new subdivision that has a restricted deed requiring people buying in to submit to a check against all states' sex offender registries. If a hit comes back, no house.
And then O.J. would have gotten off without even having paid a few bucks. No thanks. Also, a prosecutor can decline to bring a criminal case on behalf of a victim (think non-influential, non-celebrity, non-wealth victim) and a civil remedy might be the only one open to him.
But they didn't get put there because of their anticipated lack of loyalty, either. And even though they can't be fired, turning on the president who appointed him or the ideals of his party is probably a good way to reduce other kinds of influence.
So you created an ID called "datatheftsecurity" recently which has no other posting history other than pointers to this product out of a desire to benefit mankind? You'll forgive my skepticism.
So you're saying, then, that you have no affiliation with the product you're advertising? Because if you do, and you're not disclosing it, then you're a shill. And this is the last place you want to do that, because people who find your comments in a search (which is usually the object of this type of advertising) will find the ones pointing you out as a shill as well.

"Know" for "no" is a truly boneheaded error,

Is it that hard? The dollar/pound/euro/yen is the only voice they'll hear.

When I rented an apartment, it was a hard. Long since gone, thanks to B*, though.

It would be better for the legislature to direct its efforts toward ensuring that future OJ incidents don't occur.
I 100% agree--then it would rarely be necessary for victims to seek a palliative for the justice denied them in criminal court via the civil courts.

You're right--I missed your parenthetical where you noted that.
Sure, now and then one slips through. But don't expect Alito or Roberts to be much more than puppets.

It wasn't double jeopardy. Civil trials don't put the defendant "in jeopardy of life or limb."
