Maybe, if the government bans enough stuff, the Chinese people will get fed up and construct a proper democracy. A long shot, I know, but one can hope.
Your lack of empathy for other humans has been noted, meatbag.
So has yours, meatbag.
They fed her drugs with the intent to impair her judgement, which is illegal; they obtained bogus consent when she was unable to provide informed consent, which is illegal.
Try again, son.
OK, if they commited those crimes, they should be charged for them. Distribution of obscene recordings that were created lawfully should still be legal.
Reading the Toder memorandum, it seems that Jamie's lawyer isn't getting paid.
The settlement attempts failed. A trial date looms. Defendant's counsel has been
working as the Court has ordered, having expended thus far $129,485 of uncompensated-for time that will never be recovered, coupled with the likelihood that a similar,
additional amount will be incurred if ordered to continue representation of defendant who
originally caused this firm by means of false representations.
Tele2 is not the second Swedish ISP to scrub IP-customer records. More like the thirteenth.
It's a big ISP, though. I suppose that's why people could make the mistake.
It's an interesting mental exercise to imagine just how much Internet traffic would be curtailed if Google suddenly ceased all of its operations.
Not much, actually. Sure, there'd be a dip until people figured out what to do, but then Hotmail and Yahoo (and many others) would pick up the slack. Come to think of it, it would actually be pretty nice to shake the competition up a bit.

They worked at it for 8 years, and now they just lay down and quit? Have these people NO self-respect?
Piracy is the better choice. It's been said before, but apparently it hasn't gotten old yet.

Google is conspicuously absent from the list of companies. I wonder what their price list is like.
Garbage collection does not protect against most security breaches.

You failed at "Skype". :)
Out victory may be inevitable, but the war isn't over yet. Until it is, it will continue to do damage.
In a better country, you would've had seven or eight choices instead of just two.
How do they do it? As far as I know, not even the iPhone will tell just anyone where it is.
Custom firmware with GPS reporting? A custom app for signing in to a lecture?
Maybe they have an agreement with the telco for CellID information for all those phones, so they can track them to within a square kilometer at least.
*Sigh*. Good for the moment, I suppose, but if software patents were abolished, we wouldn't need it.
Like change is always for the better. Heh.

This sounds worse than the Pirate Bay / PRQ raid of 2006.

sends a very strong signal that the legislation works.
Or it might be an indicator that the legislation has a chilling effect on free speech and fair use.
Which is the way it's supposed to work...
According to its designers, the MAFIAA, anyway.
What about artists that are not members of the SAC? What about movies, games, software and other works?
Obviously, they cannot be covered by this agreement. Thus, most file-sharing will remain illegal in Canada.
I just love the icon for 'PC Games'. That lead-heavy slab of joystick that is the Microsoft Force Feedback Sidewinder has no equal. :)
