Hopefully it will do the opposite and build a much stronger, robust internet, resistant to attempts at sabotage by the authorities. More mesh. More encryption. Making censorship and unwanted tracking impossible is of the utmost importance. As the man said, "...extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!" Do whatever it takes. These people must be put down.
A few tiny sprays of "Ode de Cocaine" should keep them busy for a while.
Let me tell you a little story. As a bar was closing up for the night and it was emtpying out, one guy comes stumbling out, barely standing upright, fumbling with his keys, gets into his car and pulls out. A nearby cop who was watching the place quickly pulls him over and makes him do the standard sobriety test, bla bla bla. He takes the breathalyzer, and there's not a trace of alcohol. Cop asks the guy, "What the hell is the matter with you? You're falling down drunk, but I can't detect any alcohol in your system. Guy says, "I'm the dezhinateged diztraction."
Just because you say it out loud once (or sing it at a concert) does not mean it instantly belongs in the public domain.
Well, it does to me. Like the man said, you can't unshine the light...or you may own the lamp, but you don't own the light that emanates from it....or something like that. My use of that light takes nothing from you. And I shall refer you to the other response from the AC, with I absolutely agree with, for further elaboration.
The sharing of information IS freedom of speech, not a subset, despite fraudulent claims of ownership. The fraud may be protected by law, but it's still fraud. The law is supposed to protect everybody, not just specific commercial interests, as this one does.
95% percent of our paper money contains microscopic amounts of cocaine, imagine if we use such sensitive equipment to detect it. We'd all be locked up. Mmmm...maybe that's the intention.
Not if I download a bootleg you won't. Your DRM will be cracked, and we are within our rights to ignore your claims. Copyright is censorship designed to protect established business practices and specific institutions, whether they are viable or not. It has nothing to do with "advancement of the arts" or "benefit to society" in any fashion. You are reciting pure spin. Your arguments have been proven false by people much more articulate than I am. You should read up on them before making such misinformed statements.
What happens to their business models when artists won't sign with them in protest of what they are doing to consumers?
Asking Adam and Eve to resist temptation, are we? There's enough greedy people out there to keep business up and running. That's what is keeping Wall Street afloat. Yes, these are bad laws, but prohibition produces enormous profits. And criminalization makes life very easy for the authorities. They automatically have probable cause to break your door down. Election results indicate that the populations of the involved countries fully approve. So, expect much more of the same thing for a long time to come.
I don't care for long haul trucking. Especially those damn double trailers. It's insane! Like most accidents the cause is the driver. Will all these gadgets keep him awake? Automated rail is the only way. I just cannot imagine riding your hog, and getting smacked by that goddamn retread coming apart in front of you. It's only a little bit better than some guy leaking his load of gravel on the interstate.

That's what I'm hoping they dig up.
I'm hoping it finds Jimmy Hoffa. Or maybe the second gunman.
Mars lander destroyed be meteorite...
That would suck

Yeah, right... Let's see if you can get out of the place without being hammered to death.

- Head Basher
- Blood Bath
- Mangler
- Nurse's Station
Not if it runs up against things like this.
Free is a four letter word
Works better if you have good smoke
Sadly, you will be standing virtually alone in a world of teenyboppers who simply have to see every blackhead on Britney's nose.

Now the competitors in the national spelling bee tournaments will have to rake a piss test.
I didn't say I liked it...
Well, I used to drink Coors, when it was considered exotic.
let a little thing like an explosion deter me.

when this thing hits a pothole.
How do chemical detectors deal with all these sources of noise?
They reduce the sensitivity.
Sprinkle peroxide on everybody's luggage.

...and selling it at Best Buy for $85 a copy.

..."oh, that nasty Big Pharma wants to kill you" rhetoric.
Well chaaa... dead people make lousy customers. Sick people on the other hand...
No, actually retreading is the recapping of an old carcass with a new tread. They might be safe, but not enough for my tastes and experience.

Yeah, and the price puts out the other 95%. Jeeze! Is 600 dollars that insignificant now?
