That's what international treaties are for. Something the states is pretty good in strong-arming other countries into. On this continent we have NAFTA. WTO and IMF both have a way of standardizing procedures and conventions. Great for business, horrible for everyone else. Actually it's a very small world. Barring the weather, all points are reachable in less than 24 hours. And these rules can be adequately enforced despite the weather. Nobody is safe, anywhere. The pirates who make the rules to protect the merchants who sell their stolen goods will get their pound of flesh.
I can offcourse give my employer exclusive rigths to *use* the work.
Oops, that's where we take a different path entirely and conflicts with my claim that the exclusive right of *authorship* is all that exists. Everything else is for the sole benefit the merchant class. Those rules were created by them, for them. From that I cannot waver. Never
Doesn't matter. The democrats will roll over, just like they're doing on that really big issue that has nothing to do with email. There are no heroes. Least of all the democrats. Maybe Mr. Enzi is acting as somebody's proxy, or he's getting something else entirely out of it. Nothing is as it seems. Both sides want your money. It is foolish to believe otherwise.
They will cooperate in true bi-partisan fashion and tax ALL regions and any traffic passing through the border. They will find a way, and you(editorial) will re-elect them because they bring home the bacon to somebody in your little town. Everybody just want to vote themselves a bigger piece of the government pie.
How 'bout nobody runs for office and people learn the fine art of real cooperation before it dies out completely? The 49.999%/50.999% rules of engagement are proving to be a miserable failure. I pray that American Idol doesn't get canceled. If they lose the distraction, they might, possibly wake up and actually start thinking, and we can't have that if we are to keep them enslaved. Good to see I'm more of a Troll than the slave owners. Shows exactly why this is happening. People don't want to hear that they're being raped. It makes them feel like a fool. Heh, turns out they are fools. and quite willing ones at that, as demonstrated by the mods. So typical of the "victim" mentality spreading like wildfire even faster than the declining IQs.
Yes, much more so than the wool these people are pulling over your eyes. Fine, have at it. Make people have even less respect for the law. It's like these companies are some kind of anarchists in disguise. They want us to destroy all our institutions, and of course put them in charge. Got news for ya, They are already in charge. You people put them there. Guess you all are too comfortable to care.
Funny how both judges are using the exact same reason for letting them off. And in less than a week from each other. Hmmm. Well, either way. If they are supposed to imprison only the violent, then they should be letting the non violent and property "criminals" out to accommodate the others. There's some twisted priorities going on. It shows complete neglect for public safety for profit. Even the people managing the public prisons aren't exactly poor. Plenty of corruption amongst the guards extorting money from the prisoners and their families for "special" treatment, etc. And non violent people are less expensive to incarcerate, they don't need to beef up security or hire as many people. It's a bad situation all around, all over the world. And when you see the statics from the states, it shows how sick they really are. I guess as long as the lights stay on and the trains run on time, nobody is really going to give a damn.
Not me! I quit when I realized I'm talking to the hand. Just like now with the stupid moderators. To any of you looking for conspiracies, you only have to go next door to find the conspirators that are taking away your freedom and destroying the country. Enjoy the taco.*
*not you personally. Don't know if you're in the states. If you are, then with the corrupt Americans voting for corrupt politicians, you should save yourself, get out now before your IQ adopts an inverse relationship to the rising global temperatures.
With democrats like these, who needs republicans? Spineless SOBs Backed down on Iraq, Giving big concessions to the airlines and the chemical companies over pensions and safety. Has anybody learned the lesson??? Hell no! Good show gang.
Welcome to Carl's Jr. Would you like to try our EXTRA BIG ASS TACO? Now with more MOLECULES!
Novell only wants "reform" to protect theirs and Microsoft's patent portfolio from the angry masses carrying pitchforks and calling for blood. Maybe they are scared that abolishment is becoming a possibility. One can only hope. Novell is the devil, and they are tempting the community with forbidden fruit.There can be no reform until patents and copyright are dead, dead, dead.
...the ones who really lose out are the normal members of society.
But the big winner is the prison industry, for which these laws were designed to benefit. The law isn't about justice. It's about generating revenue. The only relation it has to society is its ability to squeeze more money out of that society. So, in some places you will spend more time in prison for drug law violations while they tell you that they are too full to incarcerate somebody for assault on a child!
No, it's nothing to do with that. It's that we were both posting a joke about which book you threw out. And he beat me to the punch by only 14 comments, less than a minute. In this case, several others were thing the same thing. It's a mind reading thing. I get nailed by that a lot. Either I'm a powerful transmitter, or the other folks are sensitive receivers...wait, that's not what I meant. Uh, they're really tuned in...yeah, that's it. I'm turning in my tinfoil hat for the pro model, made out of lead.
Anti union flamebaiting to the MAX!!! There are no words to describe such simplistic, Newscorp pap! It has all been said already. UGH! And outright bigotry besides... Shame on you! and the moderators who agree! That's all that really can be said anymore. My god! If that's insightful, then I'm Socrates.
After being raped, that's the least I could ask for. But some flowers and a box of chocolates with a "thank you" note would be a nice touch. Maybe even a phone number?
The whole story seems like astroturfing designed to scare the bejesus out of the remaining resellers.
Whatever works. They don't care. It is clearly up the us to be more careful how we spend our money. To keep it our of their hands, don't buy their product. Lot's of talk about boycotts and stuff, but a closely related industry is making more money than they ever have (plugging journal). So I would see no reason why they should change their behavior. It still pays off quite well. Just like with spammers. It is we who reward their actions. The simple fact is, you can't argue with success. Sorry.
Does that include the insults? If your price is reasonable, I'll take two. What about ad hominems? Can you post a chart or graph comparing the two so I can decide on which I should purchase? Are they broken down by rating? Like do you have "G" and "X" rated ones? Got any tirades? Put that in my shopping cart, also, will you? Put the charge on my Nigerian bank account. For the small sum of $49, I will provide the credit card number and give you access to my huge...uh...fortune, yeah, that's it. You can call me at... BR549
My only intention was to correct an apparent error in the use of the word. This was the second time over a very short period. Now what I don't understand is that I used a standard definition that appears to be valid in all the dictionaries available to me, and people are actually denying it. Why? I posted only one of them, the second being more of a "mini ha-ha" to have some fun. Now you point out the second definition there. Is it somehow in conflict with the first? Does it negate it? Or is it merely complimentary? To me it simply marks the various available uses of the word. legitimate child; legitimate business, etc. What is there that tells you that legitimate cannot be the same as legal? You didn't point that out to me. I never said it has to be, but how did the link convince you otherwise? I merely said that by one definition, something which we base meaning so as to make the language understandable by those who speak it, it is the same. I have seen nothing to the effect to where it can't be. Is there a real expert out there to correct this possible misunderstanding of the language? I didn't expect this to be dragged out to some big long debate, but your post really piques my curiosity now. Especially since I got two replies stating almost the same thing, and neither showing the reason why. What's up with that? Small brain crave info.
This is turning into an essay (que onda ese) on the use and meaing of the word "legitimate". I hope I get a good grade. I wrote it myself. I guess while I'm here, I may as well post this, just to rub it in:-)
*sigh* Would that mean you can be in compliance with the law and not be legal? Or can you be legal and not be in compliance with the law? Is legal lawful? Is lawful legal? If I am incorrect, please tell me. This is so confusing. Maybe I should use this reference instead?

I liked Ike. When grading these people on a curve, he was okay.
Theres a wide world out there sir.

Anarchy is the only way, but not before issuing everybody a bulletproof(life) vest.

It's a Seinfeld thing.
No, it's nothing to do with that. It's that we were both posting a joke about which book you threw out. And he beat me to the punch by only 14 comments, less than a minute.

I hate you! Just because you can type faster than me, doesn't mean you have to rub it in :-)
Well, now you know which book he threw out the window! And if you repeat the grade, then yes, in a way it is.
No justice, kiss freedom goodbye.
After being raped, that's the least I could ask for. But some flowers and a box of chocolates with a "thank you" note would be a nice touch. Maybe even a phone number?
