    Excuse me, Mr. Anonymous Coward. I wasn't implying we shouldn't enjoy this particular Google's move. I was only noting that the GGP was using a tu quoque argument; it was putting down MS and some other companies, as a reply to 'Google misuses a 767'. Nothing else. The rest, including the typo highlighting, was done by you.

  21. Re:wow on P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think copyright infridgement should be just that: I infringed someone's copy rights. I think it should apply when I'm trying to earn money using someone's work without their authorization, or when I'm trying to claim the copyright on something ilegitimately.

    I think those concepts should be clearly separated from "getting a song at no cost from some other peer". Maybe you'd like to claim it's also ilegal, but I don't think "Copyright infrigdement" can apply to both.


    PS: The difference? The money involved.

  22. Re:wow on P2P Defendant Destroys Evidence, Case Defaults · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm still impressed by what can be considered copyright infringement under the US law, and how exaggerately high the compensation for damages can be.

    If they were to be fair, I think they should charge with $1 for each Mp3, since that's what it would cost her to buy them through iTunes (or maybe $2, or $10, since she could make copies, but nothing near $150,000), and the costs of the trial.

    It's no wonder, then, that O. bauri ants can launch themselves into the air with a mere snap of their jaws, achieving heights up to 8.3 centimeters and horizontal distances up to 39.6 centimeters.
    I, for one, welcome our new [jaw-propelled] insect overlords!
    Perhaps less impressive is the ants' apparent inability to control the direction of their jumps, or even their orientation when landing.
    Or maybe not...
