Alright, lets go over the basic structure of a system of exchanging services for money:
A telemarketer will make a call, and put a small load on the phone system. To have this priviledge, the telemarketer gives the phone company money. Now that the system has a more load on it, and the phone company has more money, the phone company reinvests some of the money back on their infrastructure.
This is unlike e-mail spam in that e-mail spammers don't give the recipients' ISP's money. You can bet if they had to, there would be a lot less spam, and not nearly as many complaints.
Ah, sorry. I was thinking in the context of your original post(#6471201) about the kid stealing existing cc numbers from restaurant reciepts and not going out and getting new cards with stolen info.
Oh, and it really galls me that the CC companies see it as more cost effective writing off a certain (small to them) % due to fraud instead of making the system more secure. Too bad for you if you're one of the people who's credit is foobared by some sleazbag.
If the credit card company is writing it off, doesnt it mean that they are taking responsibility for the charges for you, and hence you don't lose anything(besides time and sanity)?
Well, they're not attacking us for our corn fields and orange groves.
No, they're attacking us because they're pissed them off about certain foreign policy decisions we've made in the past that I really don't want to go into.
What I was getting at is that people too often misattribute the cause of something to freedom.
America is powerful because of natural resources, not because of our freedom.
America is being attacked because we made bad foreign policy decisions (and a number of other things), not because of our freedom.
Do you ever stop to think how it got to be that way?
What, do you think it's because of our shining democracy that our country is so prosperous? That's just a lucky coincidence. We have been so prosperous because we have *plentiful* natural resources.
Freedom doesn't bring prosperity, but its nice if the two go together.
I suppose you also believe terrorists are attacking us because of our freedom?
Friday: Freeze. FBI: the jig is up.
Abe: All right, I admit it: I am the Lindbergh baby. Waah! Waah! Goo goo. I miss my fly-fly dada. Friday: Are you trying to stall us, or are you just senile? Abe: A little from column A, a little from column B.

Look at this for a more detailed analysis of its watershed.
The word "leaks" is misleading in this sense. The water evaporates from the irrigation ditches and hence, doesn't flow down the river.
Where in the HTML spec does it say that user agents shouldn't show alt text in the tooltips?

The point of it isn't that they can't sue everyone, it is to give some perspective on the number of people that are filesharing.

How seriously do you take a question from someone named "stinky wizzleteats"?
Are you smoking crack?
Apparently not as much crack as the moderators. Score 4, Informative for strtok as a security risk? Give me a break.
This won't kill pool.com's business model, they can just grab the expired waiting list registrations if it goes through.
We could call it meta-squatting!
You patent a business model, you don't copyright it.

Unless someone sculpted a physical model of the building your business resides in, then I guess you could copyright a business model.
As are you...
or get an apartment with AC.
Naw, AC is too much of a troll. Can you imagine living with him? Of course the frost piss will cool things down somewhat.
