It is my opinion that factual clarity leads to intellectually honest debate and discussion about important issue, and that means clarifying fact from opinion, legal from morals, etc. Sometimes it may be necessary to put it down as semantics however, but I fele this is too often a cry used to exxtinguish debate/discussion, a promotion of intellectual dishonesty if you will;.
Ehh... what? The Wii hasn't even been around anywhere NEAR those 10 years, how the hell can you draw a correlation between a 10 year decline, and the success of a console that s still very young?
Just keep the **AAs in check before continuing the debates and discussions. They never show any logic, or sanity for that matter when it comes to this issue.
He must have meant to say "downloading copyrighted files". It's the only way that sentence would make sense to me.
True, but it'd still be wrong. This assumes that all copyrighted files are illegal, which seems to smack against the fact that creative works, or works in general, are copyrighted automatically, and there are people who copyright their works and still allow for free distribution of their works. A small, yet important part of the puzzle.
No, alleged is still alleged, copyright infringement is copyright infringement, and copyright infringement isn't theft under any set of laws, you dolt.

An 'information wants to be free" argumen is the only one on /.?

Forget using a microphone, just use Audacity and record off the soundcard when playing a DRM'd CD in a computer.
Are you talking about yourself, since methinks that you aren't following your own advice.
Hmmm.... ever hear of the terms ad hoc, generalization, and grasping at straws?
Think about the level headed people you are covering with your libelous statement.
Except when you have a repairman over to fix something, they do not go about snooping into irrelivant areas.
How the fuck did they even release that with the bugs it had? Nevermind...
Hopefully it won't be as awful as the GBA port of Sonic was. Damned glitches up the ass.
Harard = mouse. RIAA = elephant. Elephant + mouse = nervous backing down. Any questions?
Expectation of privacy and expectation in regards to getting stalked unnecessarily are two different things. Oneis very much relevant here.
IMo, profanity and intellect is an ignorant correlation that may have some basis, but is very liited in truthfullness.

Fuck libertarian, I;m centrist! :D
I nearly spat out my orange juice with that one.
Something that actually includes deprival of something they had like mentioned in the post you responded to only supports HIS post, and not yours.

Tu quoque != good argument.
