Maybe I'm missing something here, but if people without an account aren't allowed to access the site by law, how are they supposed to sign up for an account in the first place?
There is nothing wrong with your approach, but consider for a moment that your examples are related to work and finding interesting pieces of a longer whole.
If you go to the cinema for the latest Avengers movie and you're only interested in the fight scenes anyway, why not just wait for the DVD so you can pick those out at your leisure?
This is about speeding up entertainment, but to me it sounds like the researcher is going to end up stressing himself out needlessly. I don't know about the rest of the world, but if I sit down to watch a movie I do so to relax and unwind, not sit at the edge of my seat afraid to blink in case I'll miss something.
It is not only a matter of being too big, the EU spans too many countries with too varied economic backgrounds and stabilities.
I'm not only talking about Greece; the former east bloc countries like Poland are also a problem because they use the same currency but needs a lot LESS of it for the same gain. In an extremely simplified version, numbers completely made up:
In Poland, a loaf of bread costs 1 Euro. Hourly wage is 5 Euros. In England, a loaf of bread costs 2 Euros. Hourly wage is 10 Euros.
So far, so good. Basic necessities cost the same percentage of your wage, not much difference. However...
In Poland, a loaf of bread costs 1 Euro. Working in England for 8 Euros per hour lets you gain a lot more back home while wage dumping in a country that isn't your own. With enough people doing that problems start growing for the host country.
Please explain to the uninitiated how a lawsuit against a hospital makes the nurses magically never forget a password in a stressful situation after days of double shifts with little to no sleep.
Perhaps we can find a way to use this magical solution without the lawsuit unless it's the lawsuit itself that is magical?
That argument would have worked fifteen years ago. Today, phones are MP3 players, movie players, video conference systems... As the poster above says, if image and sound gets out of sync on bluetooth (full disclosure: never used a bluetooth headset of any kind so I don't know from personal experience) that is something that a lot of people get very annoyed about.
Have you tried watching a movie where the sound is out of sync? Maybe a dubbed movie where the spoken words don't fit the lip movements?

Why are we still talking about Rosa Parks?
Yes, the seats should have been publicly available, but it doesn't mean she gets to sit down at the front of the bus to rest her legs.
Government managed lines for delivering broadband can be compared to your public roads.
A rule of thumb to remember how free speech works:
"Your freedom to swing your fist ends at the edge of my nose."
So there's the problem.

Why do people even sell old hard drives, let alone BUY used drives that may be full of bad sectors or viruses?
The photos over my house are fresh and new, I see my car and my horses instead of the previous owner's sheep.

That is pretty much what gaming on Linux amounts to if you want to talk about games with your friends still on Windows.
Government agency spends more money than they have to. People complain.
Government agency saves money. People complain.
This is called a lose-lose situation.

You only need one who makes it and suddenly he represents many millions of pounds in tax revenue, employment, etc.
So basically they're complaining that the Brexit makes winning a lottery a little harder.
Welcome to the internet.
and OPSkins, which runs a market where virtual goods are traded and can be redeemed for cash.
If this works like a kind of off-site market board or auction house from an MMO, I assume sites like eBay also make sure to comply with gambling laws?
There is a point at which you really have to tell people to take a hint of personal responsibility.
He wasn't talking about getting anything for free. He very specifically talks about media that has been bought.

He didn't censor himself!
Google intercepted his post and censored it for him! That's what the article is all about, and the proof is RIGHT THERE! Right THERE!
Or a randumb guy on the internet is trying to make himself look cool and edgy by looking for things Google doesn't want people to know about.
So someone gets annoyed with you.
They call the police saying you're keeping a bunch of little girls locked up and he's heard them screaming.
SWAT gets called.
You get instantly labelled a terrorist.
SWAT barges in, shoots you dead, and face no accountability because you were a terrorist with no civil rights. Says so right here.
God wrote your Constitution?
I want to write a lot of interesting and thought-provoking things here, but I'm just stuck on that one thing in the title.
Secret. Government. Proceedings.
Really, guys? Tell me again how your country is a free and democratic nation.
Sue him for a gazillion dollars for copyright infringement!
Isn't that how it works if you take an excerpt of something someone else did and use it for your own profit?
That was bullet point #2 in the list: 2. Wireless headphones and speakers are fine, not great.
You need to stop posting my IP on the internet!
