Couldn't agree more.
Maybe Google could set up a fund for aspiring writers.
Part of the profits gained from any additional advertising could filter into it.
I wonder if that would satisfy any of those complaining about the artistic stifling, or if they are really all about greed.
The "Dual Alarm" allows a time for radio and a separate time for the buzzer.
Each supports: Every Day, M-F or Sat-Sun and the RADIO alarm lets you set the station to play when it comes on, which can be different than the station played for 90/60/30/15/ minutes with a different volume setting.
Turning the alarms on and off is easy (just press the Radio or Buzzer buttom - each time it turns on or off the alarm). Push and hold the radio or buzzer button to set the alarm time for the alarm in question (radio or buzzer).
Canadians between 12 and 24 years of age are responsible for 78 per cent of illegal music downloading, even though they make up only 21 per cent of the population, it says. ...
Canadians between the ages of 18 and 29 are much more willing than other age groups to make illegal copies of software programs, cheat on exams or even shoplift, an Environics poll suggests.
What it does say is that people in the same age group as typical P2P users are more likely to shoplift or cheat. It does not make any correlation between P2P users and these things!
It doesn't?
What about the line you replaced with "..."? The effect of the piracy, however, does not stop at just music or movies, suggests a study from another polling firm.
They make a comment, imply that this first thing effects multiple other things, and then start listing other things...
You're right, they did not say, "File sharing causes these other things",
but they did a damn fine job implying it.
Large Man with Dead Body: Here's one.
The Dead Collector: That'll be ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: What?
Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Dead Collector: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I don't want to go on the cart.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Dead Collector: I can't take him.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel fine.
Large Man with Dead Body: Oh, do me a favor.
The Dead Collector: I can't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Dead Collector: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, when's your next round?
The Dead Collector: Thursday.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I think I'll go for a walk.
Large Man with Dead Body: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.
US literacy rates as reported by the census bureau:

I guess MA is just behind the rest of the country.
Today you'll find many university-level students who struggle with such basic tasks.
Football players don't count as university-level students. The 20's system might have produced more students that could write formally, but I don't think it's fair to say "many" struggle with the tasks today. The ones that may struggle in one area are more likely to specialize in another...nothing wrong with that.
...as far as possible from the dangers of firing engines and falling debris, which were responsible for the accidents that destroyed the shuttle Challenger in 1986 and the Columbia in 2003.
I believe they were saying engines were responsible for Challenger, and debris was responsible for Columbia.

Why are people responding with clocks that match 2 out of 4 and 3 out of 4
2 hours after a response matched all 4 wants (and at a much better price)?

After reading a few more of the comments,
I think I misunderstood what point you were trying to make.
I still don't really like the analogy,
but I think I see where you were going with it now.
No it isn't...
Is there no difference between intentionally hitting someone with your car,
and accidently hitting them?
Is there no difference between intentionally stealing a CD,
and having a stranger drop one in your bag without your knowledge.
I'm not talking about any part of the rest of your post...
just pointing out the analogy makes no sense.
Intent matters.
If you ever accidently hit someone at night with a car, and they die, I sure bet that you don't want the newspaper calling you a "murderer".
Who accidently downloads music w/o paying for it?
I don't really care one way or another about this entire argument,
but your example is comparing apples and oranges as much as everyone else's.
From TFA:

They might not be implying it in that quote, but how about this one?

Sounds to me like they are saying the piracy causes other problems.
