Honestly, someone give me a google map for the RIAA headquarters. I've got my Illudium Q36 explosive space modulator somewhere around here and a strong urge to use it.
...does it finally allow me to search my USER\Application Settings directory so I can have it index my GAIM logs without running a GDS plugin for GAIM?
My favorite was one I studied in my Probability I class sophomore year -- the same logic used to show that "marijuana is a gateway drug" (in actuality the statistics show that "people using marijuana are more likely to do "harder" drugs) can be used to show "water is a gateway drug" (people drinking water are more likely to do "harder drugs" than those who don't drink water). Classic example of confusing causation and correlation.
why go to, say, Pirate Bay if the publisher itself is seeding?
Probably for the same reason people download various Linux distros off of MiniNova, Suprnova (when it existed) and other torrent sites -- it's all aggregated in one place where everyone can see it when they go to get their 1337 0-d4y w4r3z (yes, I realize 0-day warez doesn't show up on those sites; no lectures on the pirate chain, please).
The New York Times' Charles Solomon reports that 'ADV Films, the largest distributor of anime in the United States is releasing promotional packages via the BitTorrent.'
Dammit! And I was hoping that maybe they would be pirating The REM and The Aerosmith!
The way I understand it, and this makes perfect sense to me, is that anyone who has downloaded the GPLed code has licensed it, you might say, indefinitely, as there are no term restrictions in the GPL. Thus, the new license will refer from then on to anyone who wishes to license the code, but anyone who already has it under GPL...well, their license can't change because it's not allowed in the GPL. The terms of license are in the GPL, so the GPL defines the relationship completely.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. I'm going to guess you aren't a college student. If you were, you would have noticed that, prior to Christmas last year, almost no one had iPods. After Christmas, the only person left without an iPod were those who didn't want one, and me.
If counterfeiting were legal and everyone did it, money would become worthless and the economy would become irrelevant.
Right there you blur the line by confusing money with music. Of course, if there is rampant counterfeiting of money, the economy would become irrelevant. However, if there was rampant counterfeiting of intellectual property, the economy wouldn't become irrelevant. The IP industries would change (perhaps to one where only volunteers make IP, but that's unrelated to my point). However, the economy focused on material, non-counterfeitable goods would survive.

No it doesn't. On XP Home, it makes something resembling the equivalent of an opening quotation mark in Japanese:

For reference, I found the address googling:
"recording industry association of america" +washington,dc +"street address"
or like me, it'll reinforce the "it's too expensive, fuck it" idea.
Are you really that expensive? And are you a prostitute? I'm confused.

Is that anything like giving a woman the old in and out?

World of Warcraft (emulated, faster)
Somehow, I don't think you're telling the truth here. Can you emulate something, and be faster than native?
No, sorry, I don't play console games.

I think what the GP meant is:
How about you play a football game with made-up athletes and teams?
They are streaming *.ogg over cell phone networks to serenade your sprayed ass.
Dude, it's Japan.
The toilets are mechanized to comb and part your asshair properly for maximum grippage of your tighty whities to your cheeks.
Just like many articles don't address how ADV feels about VHS piracy, when they distribute VHS tapes. What shoddy journalism!

Isn't that against the spirit of Free software?
Yes, because we all know having witnesses is a bad thing. We should never have citizens squealing on each other. Especially not in a court of law!
The police are the ones in the wrong here. If I witnessed a murder, you're fucking right I'd report it. Are you saying that I shouldn't?

Were you going for "NAACP"?

As it turns out, the BBC does not condone this, and has written an official response to Boing Boing:a _is_not.html

Assuming the keynote is a video, what is the torrenter doing zipping a video? You get virtually no compression.
