Microsoft and apple have one thing in common: DRM
For now they are both only application level on computers, microsoft's drm will be hardware soon.
Apple is the lesser of the 2 evils as it doesnt have so much inflewence on the laws and isnt so notoriously anti-compeditive. but give apple a turnover of 40bn a year and they will probably be just as bad
agreed!
I already use tbird and OOo instead of the m$ crap
outlook is just too cumbersome for me. and ya gotta love the pdf-export on OOo - you pay $250 for that button with m$ office, if you buy the professional adobe which i still have a warez copy of laying around which I dont use
ahh but then they will put you in the gas chamber. those barbaric industry worshipping morons. unless you choose "humane" and they will put you down like an animal.
Since most of the music from the RIAA is imported from america why would the australian government try to stop people getting the music for free? and possibly increase the amount of money leaving the country to america to pay for music? even though we all know most people will just get it for free elsewhere or simply not bother getting it.
Why are people so chronically against themselves these days? "support the industry" "support the economy" "give them your money they need it" they think walmart is a damn charity.
or use HYMN:)
actually i meant napster.. i think there will be a new music store called kazaa soon
am I the only one who has a problem with songs that excercise control over the comp I paid 3 grand for? Its my comp and it should not hide stuff (the decrypted song) from its owner.
ahh but when kazaa is gone the RIAA filth will start on something else, and also try to turn it into a compliant DRM loving music store like they did with napster
It looks like kazaa is going the same way as napster:(
In a few years time we'll see some DRM-infested music store that sells tracks for a dollar.
Cant osama get off his lazy ass and do something usefull (bomb those RIAA bastards out of existance)???
i'm getting nervous here.. when will those stupid lobbying idiots ever stop? my guess is they wont stop until europe has the same draconion pro-drm and patent laws that yankee land has. damn micro$uck. if they pass this bullsht i emmigrate to antartica.
When will those big DRM-loving american corporations ever realise that these kind of blackmaling and lobbying antics dont go down too well here. there is nothing stopping poland from veto'ing it again. i think this will keep going forever

There are nearly 200 countries, theres got to be at least one that doesnt give a shit about the US and its extreme copyright law.
