I am not saying dont try, I was responding to the current state of affairs that brought us to this point.
Perhaps public pressure will do it, but then again public pressure over 2 years evolved into this retort by Apple.
Perhaps "voting with your wallet" will do it, but then again it will take a long time, an expensive effort, and people caring to make it happen.
Perhaps voting in people that will take these issues seriously will be the ticket, but then again... read above.
So yes, change can happen, but in our ADHD, 30 second outrage world, how long will it take? What will be the key? Perhaps a vendor setting themselves on fire?
Look, we live in a world now of Capitalism.
There is no give and take where Capitalism and socialism melded together to form a better world for us all.
Instead, it is all about the money and not about those that get trampled on in that endeavor.
So, if you want to placate the masses, you offer empty gestures and convoluted solutions to problems that will never go away in a Capitalistic society.
Dont even think about "voting with your wallet", as there is no competition anymore. Patenting everything from taking a shit to clicking a button took care of that.
Then statistically tell me which planet has Amazonian Women, hot green chicks, and Galactic Girls Gone Wild.
No tentacle monsters though, they will take all our womens!
This is a terrible argument. So, if someone uses their personal phone for work related things, work is relinquishing IP?
No... I dont think so.
And unless you have a creepy workplace, they wont exactly be able to install monitoring software on your personal phone unless you sign something allowing them to, in which signing this also allows them other rights such as monitoring your texts, thereby making your texts work related regardless if personal or not.
I would make employees sign a "this business can wipe your personal phone if you leave to protect its IP, which may be in emails sent to your phone.", otherwise they wont have email setup on that phone.
Failure on whom?
Consumers consume, producers produce, advertisers advertise, internet internets.
They seem to be oblivious to the fact that people physically stealing things still occurs. How will this be any different?
Yeah, I was going to leave them if they actually did this.
Because there are 3 other large providers out there, thanks to Verizon being vocal about reduced competition:)

So, if Congress so wishes... they can apply copyright to anything in the public domain.
Shakespear here we come!
Event Horizon huh?
Scientists have a sick sick humor!
BOOM! Crotch shot!
When gas still cost a dollar/gallon and George Cluney was still playing doctor.
Id mark that "best explanation regarding Occupy Wall Street movement"
IMO of course.
"other"
Im more interested in the live feed from Sorority Houses.
I guess Iceroad Truckers had the month off. :(
I thought they would drive through anything including snow drifts. I am so disillusioned.

Moglen is right, and that reporter is a moron.
It seems more a redundant comment than a questionable one.
I mean, they didnt give away computers in the 90s.
You will take it and like it!

A non-voting felon?
So... its like any standard workplace... good workers and bad workers.
to forget ones mistakes is to repeat them
Corporations are people, thus a corporation makes a gun and puts it into the hands of shooters through purchase.

Yeah, I thought that too when I first heard the story. /sad
But then realized who actually makes the laws...
