That's not the point of the media companies' campaigns against file-sharing and "piracy," though. Have you seen the FBI anti-copyright-infringement warnings? You can be punished whether or not you distribute copies of a copyrighted work for financial gain.
What's wrong with "feasibility of the usage paradigm", except for the fact that it's the sort of writing you see in scientific, marketing, and government reports?
It's bad writing. It's vague and carries little to no meaning.
The company is run by old guys in their 40's and up. Maybe they just don't get it.
On the contrary, I think they see millions of young people who are willing to hand over much more than their real names to Facebook and so are trying to extend that concept to their own products.
As to "statistically improbable," see Fermi paradox. As to your example of detecting an extraterrestrial signal, yes, you would try to figure it out, I would try to figure it out, but that doesn't mean that some creature in the far reaches of space would care to. What's intriguing to us could just be noise to him.
I wasn't saying we shouldn't try, but that we shouldn't put all our efforts into communicating at the sake of developing technology to go. By all means, beam signals out there! But don't let the development of travel technology atrophy--we won't have lost anything but the chance to get there.
Provided that if there is life out there, and if it's intelligent, said life can understand any of our languages, or would care to take the time to figure out what it meant.

Should this be modded funny or insightful?

And when a government does it to its citizens it's called security.
There's a reason it's still a prototype. Sheesh.

So, basically how things have worked in the U.S. for at least the last fifty years?
Well, your comment definitely sounds appropriate for digg, though I think it'd fit better on YouTube.
We can only hope.

As of 19:37 Eastern Time, part two is still down, at least in the U.S.
This is how you get people to like your company. Instead of suing or shutting them down, or both, let them enjoy your work.
True. But remember, we Americans are fucking nuts.
Because we'll bomb the everloving fuck out of any country that doesn't do what we want.
