loses in the court of public opinion. The entertainment industry is continuing with a policy of thud and blunder. It does not have to be this way. Even for those such as myself who consider that they Pirate Bay crowd is unable to draw the distinction between free speech and free beer, this victory will not go past the court room.
As for the file sharing community, this whole idea that changes in technology makes laws obsolete needs to go.
I've had the same experience. Most on the tech meetings I attend, most of the computers in the room are Macs. I'm so old, I remember when you didn't see any.
E-voting has had more lives than a cat. It should be over, done, kaput. An experiment that failed.
Preach it brother, it amazes me that we put up with it. Verified Voting is trying to do something about it, for those who are interested.
But Pirate Bay seems to take the view that because something is technically possible it is acceptable, or at least no one can stop us. I just don't have much sympathy for that point of view. I watched their agit-prop Steal this Film and it seems to me that Pirate Bay is unable to distinguish between Free Speech and Free Beer.

Pirate Bay are just digital looters, only the thud & blunder tactics of the industry could raise these thieves to the status of folk heroes. My view of how the industry should be handling this.
Not all file sharing involves illegal downloads or music or films. Some file sharing is for material in the public domain or creative commons license.

I think OSX was a unix based system.

the end of innocence for Apple users.
And how exactly did they generate revenue before the DMCA takedowns?
I am shocked, positively shocked. Who could imagine such a thing?
And I think The Onion said it all.
that is very sad news indeed.
it is incredible that the MPAA thinks that this sort of attitude will help them with their cause.
