You don't just take leaked information and leak it to the public. The reason wikileaks doesn't do this is to protect the people who leak info. Believe it or not, they actually do this. There is no such guarantee from openleaks.
Wikileaks never said anyone else couldn't do this, just that they need to be cognizant of what it takes to anonymize stuff before it's released.
nobody should use linksys. however, cisco small business products are excellent for friends and family, support everything under the sun, and are easily managed remotely, without being crazy expensive. WRVS4400 is one easy example and it's $180 and comes with a realistic warranty, supports IPv6, IPS, and all the things that people believe they should get with consumer routers.
meanwhile, buy shit products and you get shit support (aka E4200 for example). It's not a complicated concept. Just like when people buy a consumer grade 2TB hard drive and don't realize the difference between that and an enterprise one.
a complete collapse of the movie industry wouldn't even be devastating to the music industry itself, it would only be devastating to the MPAA.
where do you come up with this crap?
The MPAA and hopeuflly, IFPI is the only part that will fail. The rest of movie industry, music industry, etc are doing just dandy and well with filesharing the entire time. The overall market has expanded greatly.
I can't even imagine how comical this would be, because the next step would be MPAA suing google alleging something like trademark infringement or felony interference of a business model or something else made up, along the lines of "it was illegal to de-index us".
when did I ever say there were no other reasonable views? The only one that has said that is you, and just shows your post makes no sense. Again, hotfile doesn't charge to download people's IP, this is a gross misstatement and subverts focus on actual facts of the situation. If you look at the rapidshare lawsuit I believe it was (or was it megaupload), there's plenty of precedence in my comments.
There are plenty of reasonable views, the OP just doesn't happen to be one of them.
prices for games have been ridiculously high since consoles existed, for the most part. Rationalized as the cost for anti-piracy measures, etc. In reality almost no game should ever break $20 or even $25 today. Nothing is worth beyond that in all but the most exceptional instances. $60 for a game is never worth it, and it's been shown that the lower price a game is, the more people you get buying. So the math isn't hard. Do you want 5million sales @ 60/piece or 25 million sales @ 30/each. It's not hard, but nintendo prefers the former.
your argument is not even remotely on center. Hotfile is a storage locker. They are paying for the bandwidth in advance and just charging users to use it.
It's not Hotfile's job to give two shits what is on their website, and it's also not their job to watch or monitor it for illegal or other activities. Section 230 among others covers them from that in it's entirety.
I was going to say that some of that 61% actually know how to use their computers and some of that 61% have no idea how to use their computers. Neither of those reqyure swearing.
what motorola or sony handset hasn't been rooted? I can see you're a bit of an apple minded individual, which tells me that we're not talking on the same level of consciousness. what android phone hasn't been rooted by now? hint: all phones have. Unlike apple's "you have to jailbreak and lose features to gain features", doesn't happen that way with android. You think the original iphone 3g can run the latest OS? Oh right, nope. Meanwhile, how is the original android phone doing? Running cyanogenmod latest version just fine.
I agree that all tablets are a bit of a joke at this moment. I mean look at the xoom. $800? anything above $400 for a tablet is a fucking joke.
Meanwhile, ipads are equally crap, not worth their money, and who really wants something on iOS? Ipad was simply first, but that doesn't mean they are better, just that they had a lead. People who buy an ipad simply don't know better, that no tablet that exists right now is in good shape for use. I mean really, reading, board games? get a laptop/computer to do it better and cheaper. There's pretty much nothing that a tablet does better at the moment other than simply being in a different form factor.
It's much more simple than that. They are calling copying "improving user experience".
It basically shows that bing can't do well enough on their own, and can only compete by mirroring google. I dont' get why they don't just mirror google's results and add a bing stamp to it.
anything wrong with that? Absolutely not. You don't hear anything about google suing for this, and there have been discussions on whether they would have standing on this (possible - grey area). Was google right to poke fun at bing? Absolutely.
it's also a legal issue. If MS is going to go after google to make people afraid to use VP8, by saying that chrome has patent threats attached (via H264) is exactly how it is done.
rupert murdoch is basically the heart and soul of everything that's wrong with things online for the past 10 years, so I don't find i wrong to put a focus on things he owns as being the problem.
go google rupert murdoch failures and the list is amazing. a rich man who does nothing right, is too old for his times, and thinks making artificial scarcity is the way to run a business.
adding extensions to chrome is actually horrible, unlike theora support. It's largely a game of making the browser less secure, basically saying "please install this microsoft sanctioned addon into chrome to make your browser more vulnerable".

Are you retarded?

businesses do care about open source. They care about *liability* as opposed to specific patent liability.
using something that you can use any way you want without requiring legal oversight is absolutely in their best interests.
See what I did here? I twisted your falseness to reality.
unlike journalism in the US and well known US propaganda, wikileaks actually validates information before they put it up.

uh, lets see.

how many more expanples do I need? This isn't even true anymore. Most games that sell 500k-1mil UNITS don't even cost 500k to develop.
just because prices have gone down minimally doesn't mean it's even remotely realistic for both a: the costs of development and b: for consumers.
This is like saying wireless and internet prices have gone down adjusted for inflation. But in reality they should be dropping by 50-75%, not 5%.

This has nothing to do with IP or even copyright infringement for that matter. Additionally, the lawsuit here is another of MPAA's "we hope the judge is a technology moron" lawsuit.
It's not Hotfile's job to give two shits what is on their website, and it's also not their job to watch or monitor it for illegal or other activities. Section 230 among others covers them from that in it's entirety.

better not tell nappa
the money you make, assuming you do a good job and/or stick to best practices, goes exponentially higher than the risk you take.
Making 80 grand a year is easily trivial as a PE.
uh, no.
If google cared, they'd sue bing - there are potential grey areas with it.
the fact that they were willing to make fun of bing shows that a: they're taking the high ground and b: they're doing better than bing.
Bing is directly grabbing clickstreams from google, and calling it "improving user experience". Try to read.
hmm. where shall I start.
how about "grind up the claw of a bengal tiger to give yourself good fortune" to drive animal populations to endangered/extinct.
Or the "today is a great day to (activity)" which may result in taking extra risks, death, etc.
bolds don't make your post lack any less grammar than it already does.

enterprise has been doing IPv6 for years. what's your point?
lawsuits? what are those?
almost guaranteed not. That's why they're execs, remember?
