We had Bush for 4 years. America has voted and we have him for 4 more years. As the value of the dollar drops, as more of our troops die in a family fued in Iraq, as more jobs goes overseas, as more junk is done, we will question him endlessly in the name of freedom and Linux. He was elected on the basis of fear of gay marriage.
True, Congress and copyright holders are abusing the system so Mickey Mouse will never be public domain. However, the best thing to do is to email your Cingressman and complain. IF nothing happens, keep trying. Downloading copyrighted material isn't right nor is it wrong. I see it as political protest yet no one tells **AA why they are protesting. Make a Web site and tell them to see it.
Bit Torrent has too many legit uses to be shutdown. We can get Linux ISO files, companies could use it on their international networks, a way of storing files on one server and use BitTorrent links to point to it so server 1 is a bit more secure, or any other reason it can be used for legit reasons, Imagine AOL using BitTorrent so people can preview a pic in AOL format and downloadit with BitTOrrent.
Each nation in a way thinks that their morality is a world standard. All are valid. Americans live in a superpower and tend to be arrogant about it. As an American, I'm sorry if it upsets people. Have pity on us poor fools. We did re-elect Bush.
I, too, have boycotted RIAA completely. I feel a lot better. I just hope that people will support indie labels. What needs to be done is convince the RIAA that selling CDs doesn't work in the age of MP3 players.
They're upset over copyrights and how companies use them. RIAA does overcharge for CDs and MPAA is increasing prices of DVDs and theater tickets (where I live anyways) just because of the monopoly of the copyright of something. Along with unethical patents on software and medication, companies are using every trick to get money from us at the expense of the customer actually able to use the copyrighted material.
That and they want stuff for free.

Not a boat. A ship full of seamen. Cannons are needed as well as marines to board the other ship. And a neat skull and bones flag.

I seen that as well. It's a good idea. I'd love to get one myself. Need to do Christmas shopping.

Wow. I'm shocked and awed.

Really? I thought BitTorrent was only shutdown in Japan. Or... In Soviet Russia, BitTorrent shuts you down!
