Libraries merely provide access to information. It's up to you to steal it.
Now, there is a difference between reading a book on loan and owning a copy of that book. I won't go into the specifics, but the difference is pretty obvious.
As for DVDs, they usually have some form of encryption. Decoding one for reproduction would be against the law. Again, entirely your choice.
There is a difference between making a tape recording off of the radio with a separate boombox and a mic(yes we used to do this), and making a near perfect copy off of digital media and making it available to thousands(millions?) of users at once. It's a matter of scope.
As for the implications involved in this: For that matter when I get a song or a scene from a movie stuck in my head and it plays over and over - am I stealing?
With this kind of flawed logic, anytime anyone learned anything from a copyrighted source(textbook) they would have committed an infraction. It's too general to be considered.
A starwars version of Homeworld would be really cool, but you've got to go with what is going to sell.
People need two dimensions. Adding a third in only confuses many.
Microsoft is afraid of a free browsing alternative when their own version of the software is basically given away with Windows at no extra charge anyway.
wait... huh?
I think your overestimating this "threat" a wee bit.
I stand by my assertion that the problem does not lie with Microsoft, but with the tards.
It would be a different story if Windows was hard coded to completely disallow installation of 3rd party code.
You're going to have a lot more luck being angry at stupid people than being angry with a giant corporation.
Microsoft is doing what any smart business should strive to do. Expand their share of the market and make money by trying to make their product as attractive as possible to the largest audience.
They were probably exercising and keeping up with whatever their normal daily routines were.
Since their bodies probably weren't getting necessary nutrients it makes sense.
You can't lose weight by eating cheeto pies and slashdotting all day!
He programmed a robot to go back in time to kill the Venezuelan Authorities' mothers and put the blame on the Open source community.
After that the OSS Freedom fighters sent their own robot back to set things "right".
Maybe Microsoft did something crazy like throw a competitive sales pitch. They ARE a business that somehow makes money when the next strongest competitor GIVES AWAY THE PRODUCT.

So it's beyond consideration that there exists a person who thinks that Splinter Cell is a great game?(It is)
What's wrong with First-person Shooters on consoles?
There are things you say and things better left unsaid.
More advice on these matters in my book, "Herding Deuces"
The plug and play facet of windows has come a long way over the years. Far more useful than what /. will probably give it credit for.
Does that make them like that freako crazy cat lady who lives three doors down?
Just ask the ladies!

So true.
Well ! My life will soon be complete.

Those flat things on the sides of the cockpit aren't the engines.
I think you missed the analogy.
Attempting to rationalize theft by putting numbers in front of it doesn't change what it is. There is no gray area here.
They couldn't just say that the movies are compressed and split into multiple files now, could they?
wait... huh?

At least half the crew will already be "on ice" for when they're needed.

Can we keep the emergency sandwich in a glass case with a hammer-weight knife and fork hanging from it?
That white stuff is good shit man.
