yeh now imagine how much more awsome it'd be if it didn't have to waste time and power encrypting, signing and verifying that you can do what you paid to do (be it play games, or watch movies)
All pirated content just works all the time, sure some times you get a dodgy release but for $0 down, it's still not a bad investment for a night in - I'm not a piracy advocate but on more than one occasion I just have. (Recent purchase of the STNG bluray that I can't watch for example... I should have just downloaded when it was online days before it was released)
This is the thing, I'm suspicious of politicians creating laws like this.
Are they creating the laws because reading of child abuse turns them on? If so, do they assume because it turns them on that it turns on a vast population?
We need to outlaw children - that way paedophiles can't see them anywhere, can't hear of them, can't imagine them and in a generation it'll be pointless.
If Links to content are infringement then I can sue them for linking to me, you can sue me for linking to slanderous content about you, everyone can sue the pants off Google.
Not saying anyone in their right mind wants to do this, that would break a big part of the internet (yes, web site's aren't the internet but they're a big part of it)
Am saying, how come FACT get to call a link to content infringing but the rest of us can't.
no, they just remember what happened the last time someone mentioned "root kit" (*cough* sony) - still, I avoid ubisoft like the plague for their previous policies.
I agree, I've had a coffee since my first post and your statement is what I wanted to say - a government that willingly attacks and deprives it's own citizens of liberties and justice clearly isn't afraid of them any more.
I got on the train this morning and saw half the carriage on their iphones doing what ever apple users do - I couldn't help but think, as I pulled out my android, "who's thinking different now bitches?"
1) Streaming is getting easier, no longer limited to advertising overloaded radio stations but having the internet virtually everywhere where you can stream the sort of music you're interested in.
2) People are realising that when they buy music they still don't own it.
I concur - it's probably with the extra $1.6k you could FLY to the US, have an effectively free holiday pick up a copy of the software while you're there, and come back
Nothing a roll of duct tape couldn't fix.... or a soldering iron.
Duct tape over the camera and solder the output lines for a cassette deck... err mp3 player... to the mice in on the tv... play porn music on a loop...
There are infinitely worse things in the world than copying content... in fact, almost everything you can possibly do to another human being is worse than this... yet we don't see this sort of pursuit of people smugglers, priests, or pedophiles.

The eBook Backlash

I used to think "poor suckers, can't afford a tablet or decent phone" when I saw people reading on ebook readers on the train...
After getting headaches while reading on my phone and test driving a co-workers kindle...
I bought myself a Kobo Touch - now I feel like a right flaming idiot!
I will never go back to reading on the phone, or my touchpad.
Hell, even the most demanding brats have written less demanding letters to santa than these guys have written to government.
I guess it's a case of "If we ask for everything in the world, perhaps they'll give is the least scary sounding thing so we'll go away for a while" - whatever happened to not negotiating with terrorists...
10 "We're not catching any terrorists" 20 "They must be out there, cast the nets wider" 30 "We're still not catching any terrorists" 40 "We know they exist somewhere, clearly we're not looking hard enough, cast the nets wider!" 50 goto 10

Every time I hear someone say "Think of the children" I bite my tongue to prevent myself from saying "like paedophiles do"

Shhh dissing the US is how we help ourselves feel better about our own problems down under :(
The US has already lost it's war on terror - its government and its citizens live in terror every moment of every day.
The worst part is the government fears its citizens and the citizens fear their government.
I wish I had mod points.

Here we have superannuation - which is like a pension only it gets smaller due to excessive fee's and market crashes.
I think it's more a case of 2 things happening
1) Streaming is getting easier, no longer limited to advertising overloaded radio stations but having the internet virtually everywhere where you can stream the sort of music you're interested in.
2) People are realising that when they buy music they still don't own it.
No-one here actually drinks Foster's
when Lee dropped this claim with Go Daddy without prompting from me. He voluntarily (scared) ran.
This is why you never give an inch, especially so to crazy women.
They take your good grace as you running away from a fight, rather than you being considerate and making a gesture of goodwill.
just throw this in your javascript...

or this in your contact forms...

If Sony can do it, why can't the little guy.
