There was a Television Writers strike?
I read, play online games, watch movies, etc. I quit watching all of the CRAP the networks were producing about 3 years ago. I could honestly care less if they keep striking. I hope they do. Maybe people will start switching to different forms of entertainment and show them that what they are/have been producing is awful.
I agree with the Parent Post's Author.
IMHO, the only stations that are worth watching on a regular basis are the learning channels.
Has anyone thought that maybe this was all "set up" by the RIAA in order to set precedence over this type of case? I mean really, look at the facts. A normal person would settle if they knew that they were guilty without a doubt. This case was over whelmingly in the favor of the RIAA. So you pay someone off and have them lie about what they really did, to the press. When it goes to trial and the truth comes out the RIAA gets the precedence that they probably wanted to establish. Not that anyone can but maybe checking offshore accounts or her personal bank account may be interesting. Is there a way to see if she actually ever pays the RIAA?
I personally find it hard to believe that someone would actually want to go to court on such a flimsy defense.
I agree in uphold copyright law, but I too think the fine is outlandish.
The RIAA should have to prove what the damages were so the jury can fine accordingly.
I agree. I routinely buy stuff in AH, as cheap as possible, and then sometimes resell it or craft something (300 BS) and turn around and sell it for as much as I can. I will horde items if I know it is a great deal for crafting. Even though I could put 40 whitesoul helmets up at one time why would I want to do that. Instead add them to the market as needed to maximize your profit. I have nice armor, an epic mount, and 2k gold in the bank....after funding several twink characters. Most of the items I craft I don't gather any materials for. I buy it all on AH and sell it all for a great profit. Is that wrong? If your answer is yes then you may not believe in Captilism.
With the slow expansion release I have filled my time by making money in WoW, something I actually have been enjoying more than grinding for hours on end for no XP. I don't play as much as I used to and have actually considered cancelling my account because blizzard did not release an expansion at the 1 year mark, but instead focused on expanding their customer base for the original game, which is fine as long as you do it in parallel with developing the expansion to keep exhisting customers.
If you watch prices, instead of buying right then, you will notice that the prices of most items in AH go up and down. If there are 40 of 1 item then the price is normally cheap (unless there is some external factor why the price remains high...like the carnivals they have). If there is 1 of the item you want then the price will be high, normally rediculously high...don't buy it. But I don't blame the seller. If I put the only item up on AH I would try to charge as much as I thought I could get for it.

Would these virus not constitute as "Weapons of Mass destruction"? Okay maybe weapons of mass devastation?
