    No it shouldn't because what is being described is "a setup" which is singular.

    Except, sadly, these shirts are often worn by fat older boilers. They should pass a law that only allows Crop Tops, Mini Skirts and tight leggings to be manufactured up to a size 10.

    I have known of people/organisations including schools and churches that photocopy books.

  4. The Root of the Problem on Britons Frustrated by DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think that the root of the problem is that given the opportunity most people (including those who consider themselves law abiding) will copy music or video illegally if they can get away with it. Therefore the music companies try to combat this with whatever means they can devise. I can remember as a kid taping from "Top of the Pops" with a cassette recorder stood in front of the TV - the technology has changed but not the principle. This occurs partly because, especially in the UK, DVDs and CDs are way overpriced. Another reason is that a lot of music is disposable: i.e. you listen to it a couple of times and then are fed up with it.
