and the reason this does not enrage you is...?
it's always been a screaming injustice that those without money automatically lose. and now, ever since corporate america looked at the internet and saw dollar signs the attacks on free speech have gone postitively out of control.
"...with liberty and justice for all." (for all who can afford it.) money needs to be removed as a barrier to equal access to justice. having recently bent over for both dullbert and nascunt my ass is still sore. free speech? right up there with santa claus and the easter bunny.
not possible. a corporation is an abstract construct. abstract constructs do not create. everything that has ever been created has been created either by living beings or natural forces or god if you so beleive, but nothing has ever been created by a corporation. what were you thinking?
one of the biggest reasons we should be against DMCA, SSSCA, and other such acts is because they require all content to be managed from a central authority. Should that authority go bankrupt, millions could lose access to a variety of works.
in my estimation they are far more likely to become bullseyes for hijacked jetliners than to go bankrupt, but your point stands.
i don't go anywhere when i place a telephone call. correspondence via snail mail has no impact on my physical location. and i sure as fuck don't go to new 'places' when i 'surf' or send email - my fat ass is still right there in the chair. which part of this did the honorable judge spacely not understand?
it's pretty damn hard to change stations when clear channel and citadel own every major outlet in this market (grand rapids, mi.) and citadel has it's own list, according to dj's at citadel-owned WLAV-FM.
Have you ever heard Ballmer, Gates, Allchin, or Mundy make a public statement that did not contain at least one lie?
indeed. my observation is that microsoft's public statements are often precisely in opposition to reality. time after time. they count on people not believing they could be so baldfaced.
listening to m$ public output is an orwellian circus of the bizarre. IIRC, allchin said last week they were dropping netscape-style plugin support for security reasons.
and ballmer? i'm from grand rapids, and let me tell you, ballmer behaves exactly like triple-platinum diamond-dicked amway rep crazed with winnebago-lust. one simply cannot credit any utterance they may make.

They don't tolerate bullshit here very well.

i never learned C in 21 days from herb. but i did once sleep through a starcastle concert at wings stadium in kalamazoo. herb was excellent.
corporations can pay their employees and vendors to create content on their behalf
of course i should have realized that's what the poster meant. i was just so busy being Insightful that i didn't have time to actually think. :-)
Some works are in fact created by corporations.
not possible. a corporation is an abstract construct. abstract constructs do not create. everything that has ever been created has been created either by living beings or natural forces or god if you so beleive, but nothing has ever been created by a corporation. what were you thinking?
99% of these 54% are using Microsoft products to access the Internet

If I turn the volume down on the TV, and close my eyes, am I ripping off the Television company?
yep. that's where we are headed.

Sony petdogs probably have a setting to disable barking at night.
but can you disable its reporting back to Sony on the pirated music you listened to all day?
