This is like helping a spammer to get his email program up and running. Coming from GoDaddy it doesn't surprise me. And why are we giving them the time of day?
professional sports. Now, Jimmy the "Moose" Morgan, him I'll believe. He don't guess the probabilities, he makes them. A lead pipe trumps your modern math any day of the week.
Bolivia. And yes, the government claimed the rain water was for all people and did prohibit collection for personal use. All this relevant because it shows exactly the same kind of business model the distributors of entertainment and information wish to maintain. However, in the case of entertainment, it is far better to simply ignore them and keep your money, as opposed to starting a riot and getting people killed.
It often takes a lot of money to turn those words into a complete album...
It also takes a lot of money to make a TV ad, yet the advertiser pays me if they want me to broadcast it. CDs are advertisement. They are to promote an actual performance, live in front of actual people. The broadcast of a reproduction is only a performance by the machine operator. The studio people get paid when they finish their performance. Distribution by the public is free advertisement. The record company can collect a percentage of concert income to pay for the studio time. Everybody will get paid and the fat will be cut out of the system. This isn't the 17th century. Distribution is no longer a technical issue like it used to be. Laws against plagiarism are the only place where IP legislation should stick its nose. It is the only place where a rightful, natural claim can be made.
Well, in point of fact you're saying something that simply isn't true...
You say it isn't. I say it is. Where's your evidence? Slashdot posts my evidence in every other article almost.
Your post was only two lines long...
Well, obviously that would make it false then, huh? Interesting logic you got there. Maybe you should make an attempt to understand that some things are very simple and don't require long winded explanations from some stuff shirt philosopher who has his own agenda and needs to justify spending all that money on his diploma.

Those who "defend" copyright can no longer make a logical argument for it(keeping these laws on the books now requires a certain amount bribery), so now they moderate.
Once they're released, they belong to the public. The distributors steal from the public. So, yes, copyright is theft. It used to be something that "borrowed" from the public back when distribution costs were an issue. Now it justs takes and hoards and speculates.
Everybody knows by now that a message is meaningless and is to be ignored, or even disparaged if you can't identify the messenger. Just look at how ACs are treated here.
I know a way to revive the Alpha chip, but my recommendation would just get me branded as a troll. Let's just say the only thing standing in the way is the law, nothing else. So the Alpha will continue to rot while we carry on with the kludge.
Okay, if you like to play "sea crab" with the floppy drive, get ready to feed 41 disks to install the Video Toaster on an Amiga. I do believe somebody has that beat, but I can't remember.

...harming us all by limiting innovation.
Three guesses as to what single thing gives them that kind of power. It's not the money, though that is a "lubricant", so to speak.
a little like saying the Cubs won't win?
that everybody is upfront as they claim. They seemed to stress that issue a wee bit too much.

Didn't it start with the war on poverty?
Actually it's a war on corporate poverty, and it's a smashing success.
And it skips a step in the ever famous formula to riches:
1) Make "War on..."
2) Profit!
are actually signing that contract? If you are then, obviously you must be accepting that as truth. Hey, this ain't your dopey EULA here.
With what sea/airlift capability, exactly?
What do you think those "Walmart" factories are for? Remember, just like us, they have a "GE" that makes toasters and military hardware also.

Jesting is the least of his offenses. And focusing on it just distracts you away from the truly relevant issue of over-zealous persecution.
BAM!
