Well as long as they applied the same conditions, i.e. we'll give you a legit copy if you tell us where you bought this knock-off, then it wouldn't be very different. Pigs will have to fly first.
Possibly off-topic but, the three Blizzard games I have here (Warcraft III, StarCraft Diablo II) have warnings on the boxes that you will need to agree to a licence.
I wonder if any other companies do the same thing?

I hope you don't spend time manually adding all those links to wikipedia.
I can however assure you that they are NOT correct, as I know that the giant creator-wombat created the world out of a can of spam and some duct tape, with people, rocks, birds, the thoughts in your head, absolutely everything intact only 5 minutes ago. Go on, try to disprove it.
Infidel! The wombat was not our creator, he was just a prophet.
I'll admit that I've not tried to transfer my domain Badtoilet.org (shamless plug) but my contract with my host seems pretty clear. I don't seem to be locked in and have no reason to suspect that they would be awkward with my transferring a domain away.
Interestingly, Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene has a chapter on this. These ideas can be called 'Memes' and the way they evolve and propagate through societies isn't too different to the way genes make their way through the species. Memes are a bit louder though.
Yes anybody could have taken those steps first but Apple did. Anyone could have have mass produced cars first but Henry Ford did. Anyone could have outlawed slavery but Britain was the first (major western nation) to have done so.
Isn't this kind of like hiring a shop-lifter to guard your store and then having to hire a security guard to watch them?
Even if you are monitoring them to make sure they don't install cracks, how can you be sure that they haven't found a vulnerability and are keeping quiet about it.
Seems like a better idea to just hire someone less felonious, even if they may not have the 'experience' of a cracker.
We *are* judging him for what he does and has done. This isn't the catholic church here. You can't spend your life screwing people over, confess, do a few good deeds and expect the sun to shine out of your arse.
It's like a king spending his 'working' years conquering and laying waste to the world to build his empire and then, in retirement building a few churches so as no to be remembered as 'King Bill, the utter shit'.
Like another poster mentioned, gangsters have a long tradition of philanthropy. Look how many people expressed grief at the death of Carlos Medellin. Still plenty of Cockneys (and mockneys in Essex) thinking highly of the Krays.
Bill Gates has no voice? This text taken from the foundation web site must be a mistake then.
"Along with his wife and co-founder, Melinda, Bill Gates provides strategic direction for the foundation, advocates for its core issues, and reviews its major grants"
He avoids arrest by being a powerful force for good and also because he's never been caught whacking off in the bushes outside his ex-girlfriend's house.
As long as they investigate correctly to make sure that the web site in question isn't being framed by someone else, this is excellent.
I'm fairly tired of sites, particularly 'meds and pharms' sellers in Canada. Quite a few seem to have an associate program where 'associates' get paid for the referalls they send. Of course spamming is an ideal way to get these referalls.
Sites using these spam privateers deserve to be shut down.
The tax is paid based on ownership device that is able to receive or record tv signals. If you have any one of the following, you're liable for the tax.

If you argue that you can only get Sky, this doesn't exclude you from paying the licence.
I'd happily pay a bit more if I it meant I didn't see anymore adverts for loan consolidation for the ugly and annoying mobile phone ring-tones.
BEDEVERE: Tell me. What do you do with witches? VILLAGER #2: Burn! VILLAGER #1: Burn! CROWD: Burn! Burn them up! Burn!... BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches? VILLAGER #1: More witches!
I think the worst film of all time has to be "On Deadly Ground". I still believe to this day that Michael Caine's career should have died after that one.
I saw a similar 'claw-back' clause in a company where I used to work. In order to do your job, you had to be sent on training and they made everyone sign contracts stating that if you left within two years, you would have to pay a certain amount of money back.
I think they tried to enforce it but the letters they sent weren't very effective. In hindsight, they should have sent a few Dilbert cartoons. It would have been almost as funny and a lot easier to take seriously.

It's all right for Mr Moneybags who can afford to be sued by the RIAA for unlawful reproduction of copyrighted works.
Me, I just tap my head with a stick.

You're right about that. Also, they can't suffer detatched retinas like we can.
Mozart never sold a single record in his lifetime, nor did Bach, Beethoven, Verdi, etc. etc.
Probably because records had not been invented. What's your point?

By the way, it's 'Melinda Gates', not Belinda.

Yes but I'll do my level best to make sure I never let one chose a playlist for me.
As long as EDS aren't involved, there's still a chance it might just work. Well, I wouldn't bet on it but stranger things have happened.
Excellent. That reply made my Monday :-)
Would listening to Cliff Richard while playing Quake count?

On behalf of a loser country, I'd like to thank you guys for lending us the money and saving us from the Nazis and the red menace.

I've heard the book is excellent and I believe that the film is probably very well made but it's just bloody impossible to sit through.
On Deadly Ground is pretty terrible as well.
