There aren't that many people in jail for smoking weed dumbass. There may be a lot of people in jail related to drugs, but they are rarely there as a user of the drug.
Too bad they don't put you in jail for smoking marijuana. They may put you in jail for dealing marijuana or possessing large amounts of it (thereby assuming you intended to distribute). But rarely does a college kid caught with an eigth do any jail time. Therefore your analogy should be refined to those pirating huge amounts of music and distributing it to others.
The key point, as I'm sure you were making by italicizing it, is potentially. In my case, they haven't lost any sales, because I will never pay for music again. Not under any circumstances whatsoever. But I will (and do) download music and occasionally rip friends' CDs. And should this imply, as some claim, that there is no incentive then for artists to make new music, that is fine with me. I would be happy listening to what I already have for the rest of my life. I guess this means I believe no one should be a musician by profession.
I'm sorry but you're full of shit. The World Bank has wasted tons of our money. Do a little search on Google for that one. The WTO frequently makes decisions that aren't in our national interests (more frequently than not, which really isn't unexpected given it's nature).
I'm not the anonymous coward above, but what you are pointing out is irrelevent. It would be easy to have a page with a redirect, or better yet, have the http server send a redirect header.
No offense intended, but I doubt Microsoft is worried about a small shop in Brazil. Do whatever you want in the short term, in the long term try to migrate away completely. I wouldn't fret about it.

I agree, I do attend concerts. That is where most artists make their money anyways.

Is someone jealous of the USA?!
Remove a corporation's right to contribute money to politicians or political parties. Problem solved.

I think so. I've always wanted to be a "Holy Minion"! My dream has come true...
All the better, it would save us (the USA) a lot of money and time, since we don't benefit at all from being a member.
The USA should withdraw from the United Nations, as it's absolutely fucking worthless.
does it all the time!
Might as well start here...

You're one fucked up little boy...
If you'd had the read the article, you would have seen that it did.
stupid Eurotrash.
they're all bullshit too!
(For the second time, since the last one got moderated into dust. I guess some people can't handle the truth afterall!)
they're all bullshit too!
Look! It must be true! A French faggot just moderated my post!
Yeah we should have let Germany have France. They might have bred out the French faggotness.
You're a fucking moron.
Mod this genius up! Then mod this down, you fucks.
Yeah, and what's the penalty if you're caught? Just what you would have had to pay anyways.

Mod this fucking moron without a clue down!
