Yes, I know as posted above by the non AC. While my Latin studies are painfully old, I did study Roman culture as part of the language classes. I also understand that RAH was not the first to say this (and as far as the spirit, I doubt the Romans can claim to have sourced it). Simply RAH is the most approchable from a Poly Sci standpoint that I have read. -nB
You are, of course correct. I was referencing it in the context of RAH's work as a source for more information (hence the bitching about not being able to underlint the title). -nB
Not saying it's legal but it is not stealing, it is (c) infringment. There is, in fact, a difference.
Now, back to the case in France, the summary even mentions the "flat fee" aspect of P2P as a service, so in this case, no it is not stealing or (c) infringement. Just because teh media companies do not like the laws does not mean that what is happening is illegal.
As to the whole stealing thing: I once was like you, this is stealing. After a lovely argument I was swayed to the "it's not stealing" camp, problem is that tends to lump me in the "it's OK" group as well, which I firmly am not. -nB

"Being a libertarian, of course, I'm all for dropping all those freebies (and slashing everybody's taxes to make up for it) and then letting anybody marry anybody or anything they choose..."
Not so fast! I've made my platform on the fact that people should not be allowed to marry earthworms!
Now on the more serious side, the real problem is that most people have no idea what they want. All they know is that they like bread and circuses* and that so long as the party(ies) in power provide that they are not inclined to change. I agree that the Libertarian way is better in many respects, but it can not happen without social change. The problem with our country is not the politicians, it is with the people. Lousy politicians and pork are the symptom, not the cause. Win the people and you will win the election. Joe Sixpack individually is a great guy, wants things to change, etc. but put 100 of them in a group and you now have the epitomy of "sheeple".

we use thinkpads at work and the average lifespan is about 6 years (refresh cycle is four years). Now seing as ThinkPads are some of the most rugged out there I would say in a business setting that 1-3 makes sense if you are buying cheaper notebooks. -nB
I'm not sure how I'm being subsedised... I have a web server, colo'd in a datacenter. I don't use p2p all that often (only for things I can not find locally or on-line for my region code).

If the telcos push this too hard I can't wait for GoogleNet. Pay for unlimited service, or enjoy the Internet, free of charge, witha google ad on the top of every page or some such.
I think I would likely be willing to pay $20-$25 a month for that... (assuming 1Mbps/384Kbps or some such) -nB
Doesn't the field become richer when the wider spectrum of legal thought is explored and encouraged
Yes in fact it does, but the wider spectrum is provided by others at universities, the EFF and other firms. Your IP firm wants to tow the party line as that is what their customers want, and it is the customers that pay the bills. That really is what it all boils down to isn't it? -nB

Well then I suppose that this is one of those time I fail to agree with you. Can't say your arguments are bunk, as they are well laid, I simply do not hold our troops accountable for being there. Partially because the harshness for which our mailitary deals with deserters/objectionests so that it is far easier to just go than to not. Also, as to the standing army, our entire armed forse is currently voluntary. These people just as likely would have joined the state National Guard (the militias) if the army was "closed". I know a couple personally who joined the Army because there was nothing for them at home, they were going downhill in drug abuse, crime, etc., and joined the army to shape up. Both these people are now very productive members of their society (one stayed in Germany). For these people (who to some extent or another I think embody the reason for most to join) I think it greatly unfair to bash them for being in Iraq / abroad. Whether you think the commander in cheif has screwed up or not is a seperate issue, the command structure of our country is all assed up, you and I agree to that much I am sure.

What about interest income? I was figuring that he could pull in 1.5% just on the money sitting somewhere. The dividend income would be in addition to my calculation as it comes from shares of stock that (AFAIK) are not part of the $47B. Also noted was that any income over the 1.5% would simply be given away so that the calculation would be easier. -nB
