When I have employees comnputers will only be allowed email and IM - unless web access is necessary. And at that point they will have to share a common terminal.

P2P Piracy numbers are estimates, but more accurately "guesses." They do not take into acount people who buy and take, rather than just take. Also, they include the inflated "profit" and not jsut the overhead. Not only that - they assume the song would have sold in the first place - where much of P2P content is old and out of date, not the latest catalog.
This whole situation makes me sick because fools in government believe this garbage.
Concert tickets are high because that is what the market is willing to pay.
The entertainment industries have to stop hiding the truth about their business: Movies and bands just suck lately. For abotu 15 years. Art has been replaced with pop. Pop doesnt last like art. Its disposible. All we notice are cute blonds with big boobs, we dont care what their name is and neither does the execs. Pretty soon the RIAA will be able to claim "Over 1 Billion Pop Bimbos Served Daily" Its their fault for turning this industry in to disposable crap. In 20 years we are not going to be listening to Madonna like we do Led Zepplin or the Beatles.
Hahah. Well, I like both sites. Slashdot stories are always 3 days old, but at least they are not nonsense. I like Digg because it changes frequently, but its a lot harder to get on the front page than you would think - unless you use "cheats"
Plus, I think Digg has way more flamers than Slashdot and a much younger, immature fanboy club.
Sensoring for sponsor's sake is as gay as the Bush admin's wiretapping of anti-war hippies.
Completely untrue? We arent talking about law, we are talking about the definition of criminal. When a crime is commited, the person who did it is a criminal regardless if they are convicted.
Everything you wrote is completely off topic.
Please look up the word criminal and you'll my get through your stubborness that you dont have to be convicted to be a criminal.
There are times you dont have to prove someone commited at crime because they have either admitted it or were caught doing it. Conviction is only necessary for appling penalties.
Example: When you exceed the speed limit, you have commited a crime beyond a doubt regardless if anyone has bothered to prove it. The transgression still occurred.
A criminal is someone who commits a crime (You know when you are driving beyond the speed allowed by law). A convict is someone who has been convicted of a crime. You do not need to be convicted of a crime to be a criminal.
In this case, if they have enough info to extradite him, I am pretty sure he's a crimminal. Unlike the prisoners at gitmo who are held for terrorism, US domestic arrests are typically already proved before a warrant is issued.
The important thing to distinguish here is that you are unimportant and have no authority. Another thing to note: a criminal commits crimes, a convict is convicted.
What makes you think I have taken a side on global warming? The title itself is a misnomer and only describse the transition phase. Global cooling is the eventual outcome... I am all for environmentally friendly practices. I want to make solar panels a requirement... But ask any environmentalist what the solution is and the solution is to punish. To increase taxes on the haves and redistrute wealth to the poor. And the environment isnt any better for it.
The debate is not whether the temperature is rising, but rather is this a natural cycle as science shows occured sevral times prior to industrialization. Whether humans are the main cause... whether humans can alter it... Whether it is reversable (most scientists who say humans caused it also say it is NOT reversable)... and whether our economies can suffer knee-jerk hippee legislation to punish corporations.
As outrageous are the oponents of global warming correction are, so are the the extreme environmentalists. This is partisan issue, a left vs right issue, and really just the same old havenots vs the haves issue, but with environmental guilt and finger pointing.
...Even the article is retarded: "playing a Beatles song on an iPod would be illegal". Would people who cover the Apple music player and services issues PLEASE learn what the f*ck they are talking about!? You can put a Beatle song legally on the iPod just fine.
Sheesh. We need some legal advocates who will fight for some intelligence on these issues. 9 of 10 complaints about Apple, iPods, and iTMS are based on false or misunderstood premises.
They just found the dumb thing and because its not a dinasaur its a "possible missing link" it could probably be a cure for cancer too - like the blind sea horses they found last week.
Its way too early to say anything.
I dont even understand why the US is blocking online gambling. Traditional gambling is banned due to the crime elements that come into a local community. However, if there is any criminal activity online - it does not translate to local crime problems.

While the game manufacturer makes money off of Walmart's client base, branding, marketing and saturation.
If game manufatures really minded the censorship they would distribute through other venues.

He deserves whatever he gets.. No sympathy for a criminal.

Let's mount a campaign for national consumer cards powered by RFID!
Apple foots all the bill while one measly digital file is duplicated over and over. iTMS is pure profit for the music industry.
F*ck the RIAA! Buy used CDS!
Now we are going to freakout the autistic and then people will REALLY feel comfortable around them.

My friend recently graduated from Berkeley and she did exactly this - transcribe every word. I dont think she was rgetting it.
When I was in school a long time ago, it seemed better when I took fewer notes and tried to envision the topic.
Apple pulls out of France (My choice, as a share holder). Or Apple invades France hoping for the typical surrender ;)
While I believe what you say to be true, I dont think Internet and Vegas gamblers are the same breed.

This just seems unnecessary.
