"Oh right, I disagree with your point of view so obviously I must be working for The Man."
There you go.
I wasn't boasting about physical prowess, just saying I'm probably more "grown up" than you but in years and mentally. Yelling "Grow up!" is something teenagers do or at least something people without other arguments do.
Let's just see the fact that you havn't argued against any of my points, just tried personal attacks again and again. So, it's quite clear that you don't know what you are talking about and furthermore have no interest in finding out. Which is quite sad, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
That's something you inferred yourself, I just said you seem to be protecting the media maffia, I don't know why, that you are paid by them is something you yourself said.
"Grow up" is obviously something you use as an insult when arguments fail.
I'm probably more "grown up" than you (think) both physically and mentally, since I have thought this through and don't think it's about "downloading music for free" that you seem to think it's a question what kind of society we want. A society that rewards invention but limits the bad things that have cropped up with the patent system, a society where we don't have totalitarian control but freedom of speech.
But since you think the various Pirate Parties is only about "downloading stuff for free" I can understand you point of view, however it's not particularly "mature" or informed about the reality. So "grow up" or at least read what the Pirate Party/Parties really think should happen and think things through before further showing your ignorance is my suggestion. I'm not affliated with any PP I just think there the best option out there to preserve our freedom to communicate (even if that means "kids" can download music for free), reform the patent system for the future and also get the most/best amount of culture.
I'm for the artists, inventors and a free society and against the media maffia, copyright trolls/abusers and people who want's to create a repressive society. Simple as that.
You know, when Disney makes a re-spin of "a Christmas carol", they are using something in the public domain to create something "new", that's good, but then they buy the politicians to make sure they never have to give it back to the public domain, that's not good (for anyone except Disney's shareholders, and not them either).
When General Motors patents for example battery technology and uses it, not for doing anything themselves, but suing everybody who tries to make something that's bad.
The copyright/patent system should work like it was INTENDED, to encourage human development, not the other way around. It's vital that is does.
I worry we will enter another "dark ages" time when human development goes backward instead of forward, due to "Intellectual Property Rights". That could lead to millions or billions dead or never born, it could lead to that humankind never reach the stars but instead dies on this planet".
It's a bit more than being able to download music for free, and it's much much more important than the media maffios wallets you seem to be protecting.
Or maybe they are already mature enough to realise it's not about downloading music and video for free but rather about mankinds future.
You know, minor things like freedom, innovation and mankinds future survival in the long run.
All our progress so far has been dependant on refining things already done, and when the patent system stops this rather than helping it might mean that in the future we will get less innovation -> human will devolvle and die.
(And we will also get less music, film and other culture, but that's survivable)
Maybe there should be a regulation then "don't put all those cables on the ground";)
In my experience analogies are like fauly watches, they are seldom correct and most of the times gives a sense of undestandning something but in reality just complicates things.
I think you're seeing conspiracy theories where none exist. The place I copied the text from had som text in Swedish there within "[]" since it at least was in the NDA at the time to not mention the date. So I just replaced that with "something" not to confuse people and I thought it important to get the news out there about AMDs shady practices.
Let me tell you something about why they do this. Most people will just see the first "reviews" (as they think). They will skip over all "this is just a preview, AMD has only allowed of game testing" and so on and at most read the conclusion or look at the graphs and be fooled, yes fooled, into thinking "wow! that's a really good processor".
Oktober 2 is far far into the future in that regard. It's like the newspapers publishing something and that "correcting" it a few days later, 99% of the people who's heard about it will beleive what they first heard.
That's we it's a shady and underhanded tactic and you AMD fanbois will cry and bitch to no end about it if Intel/Nvidia ever do the same.
Nvidia: "You can release Battlefield 3 tests@1080p, no other tests until next week" You: "OH, MY GAWD!!! what cheeeeets!!!!1" Me: "This is just the kind of shady tacticts AMD pulled." Nvidia Fanbois: "Nvidia are angels. You're post is silly, everybody can just read about it next week."
AMD has apparently forbidden testers to write about cpuperformance.
In their NDA-contract it's specified
"In previewing x86 applications, without providing hard numbers until October [something], we are hoping that you will be able to convey what is most important to the end-user which is what the experience of using the system is like. As one of the foremost evaluators of technology, you are in a unique position to draw educated comparisons and conclusions based on real-world experience with the platform,"
and
"The topics which you must be held for the October [sometime], 2012 embargo lift are
- Overclocking
- Pricing
- Non game benchmarks"
So the reviews coming out are only from sources that has decided to go along with those "guidelines". In other words, not complete, I would say extremly biased.
Sorry, you're just wrong. Look at the statistics again. This is true for all countries and all cultures for the last hundred years.
"Culture" can have a.1 or.2 margin of effect on this. If chjld mortality decreases, 10-20 years after that
First infant mortality drops, then the number of children per women.
www.gapminder.org. Show me a case where this isn't true.
The only way to stop world population increasing exponentially is to give health care, medicin and prosperity to all the world, not the other way around.
Yes they are (family planning). Maybe you shouldn't think most people are as dumb as you are?
The "if we cure [disease] then more people are going to survive more people will be exist" is false and have proven to be false again and again in reality. It's only true for real stone-age condtions. The number of people living in those conditions today are 100.000 in total and not statistically significant.
The reality today are are that the more people we save and the more people that get access to medicin, helth care and so on the LESS people will be born and this will REDUCE total population, not the other way around.
In the same way, wars also increase population.

Oh, come on, a green phone symbol for answering? Thats been standard since... I don't know 1992? And Apple didn't come up with it, some women at Nokia did, or if it was Ericsson...
The lie: 0.55% of users with cases that Apple _registers_ av "antenna problems". They might have had tousands of calls which they simply don't count or labels as, I don't know, user errors;)
"User held the phone in the wrong hand! -> user error, not "antenna problem" since Jobs said "there is no antenna problem"
Micropayments are different from regular payments. 10% of a small amount is less than 0.30% of a large amount... More SHOCKING mathematical facts soon;)
The reason for reducing the copyright times are just because it would enable derivative works. Kind of how Disney took "Cinderella" or other stories in the public domain and made money and new stories out of them.
The hypocrisy comes in when they refuse to ever give stuff back to the public domain.
The people being screwed in this case isn't the heirs to Tolkien it's us. They shouldn't get any money after so many years. They are the true "leeches". That doesn't help or develops our civilization or culture.
Of course it's good for the society to be able to communicate freely and easily.
Of course it's good for the general welfare that stuff that can be copied without cost is spread to whomever who wants it.
Why? It's so obvious you really shouldn't need any "research".
It might not be good for a very very small percentage (like 0.00001%) of the population (big record company bosses) but I doubt you (even if you a commercial software developer as you claim) are part of that percentage.
Sweden do have a healty TV/film industry. Problably produces as much TV/film per capita as the US or UK, but still it's not a large country and since we can enjoy UK & US stuff in addition to our own, why shouldn't we be allowed to buy this?
Sweden is (was at least a couple of years ago?) also the third most music exporting country in the world (after US and UK). Britney Spears first album is really Swedish and so on...
So, it's not a matter of "pirate it because we don't produce anything ourselves".
It has the function of maintaining your privacy. This is valuble for some people, not because they are breaking the law but because other people, corporations and governments have no business knowing who you are talking/mailing/communicating with in 99,99% of all cases.
They might be aware A robbery is happening/will happen/has happened but to the extent that you are aware a robbery will happen somewhere in the world today.
Sitting and monitoring millions of torrentfiles which in them selves are not the media is impossible.
They have replied to the persons bringing it to their attention by saying "don't talk to us, talk to the persons making the stuff availible". After saying that hundreds of times and still receiving stupid form-letters with pointers to irrelevant US. laws they start responding to them in funny, irreverant and sometimes a bit infantile way.
"Taking a creative work. Ripping it or recording it and distributing it to others without the permission of the creator" = "Taking a creative work. Ripping it or recording it and distributing it to others without the permission of the creator" and robbery = robbery
"Everyone should do what they can to protect the creative works and the artists"
I think sharing the creative works are the best way to do this.
BUT even if the reverse was true I think "protecting the creative works and the artists" are not THE top priority of the universe. It isn't as important as other things. Protecting the lives, security and freedom of people are much more important.
You're wrong, they are not aware the robbery is happening.
TPB are the persons making the paper where the automatic door-opener is advertised.
So, we should'nt prosecute the robber? (the individual fileshares) or the people making the door-opener (the one making the "original" copy) but the people pointing out "you can buy door-openers over there"
Anyway, filesharing isn't robbery and opening a door isn't the same as hosting a website otherwise your morals suck since you think it's justifed killing everyone in the town (shutting down the internet) just in case someone might hold up a door for someone else.

Tadaa, nice statistics!
You mean the article with the headline "comScore: Apple gained US smartphone market share in December"
Which only talks about US market share, is that the article you are basing your "worldwide" market share data on?
No it's not "done".
There are different legal systems in the world.
Micropayments are different from regular payments. 10% of a small amount is less than 0.30% of a large amount... More SHOCKING mathematical facts soon ;)
I'd say the hypocrisy of RIAA is astounding.
The reason for reducing the copyright times are just because it would enable derivative works. Kind of how Disney took "Cinderella" or other stories in the public domain and made money and new stories out of them.
The hypocrisy comes in when they refuse to ever give stuff back to the public domain.

Or maybe the RIAA?
1) Boycott
2) If in Sweden, vote for the pirate party in the upcoming election
3) I'm out if ideas...

That's (using a vpn or proxy) probably just as illegal in "their" eyes as downloading the content.
Oh, please stop using strange analogies, it's not helping, it's only confusing the issue.
Doing illegal drugs is not file sharing.
A "dark guarded alley" is not VPN.
You even managed to squeeze in som kind of car analogy there :)
