You missed my point. Besides a city councillor is hardly some 'person in power.'
Anyone who would commit murder because of a tweet would commit murder anyway. If it wasn't this, it'd have been something else. Saying the tweet caused the murder is infantile. Or do you really think that Lennon and Reagan wouldn't have been shot if Catcher in the Rye hadn't been published?
I rarely sell mine, but I do very frequently give them away. The social value of this is considerable. Not being able to give a book to a friend after I've read it is a major decrease in the value of that book to me.
While you're right that it's the words not the media you're paying for, the problem is the lack of resale/giving away--it's effectively a sizeable price increase even if the nominal price is constant.
No, no they wouldn't. I can sit here and say the sky is purple, and start calling light with a wavelength of around 465 nm purple, but that doesn't make it so. That is what you are doing with the term 'public domain.' You are inventing a new meaning, and insisting that you are right. Have fun.
I can't find the link but there was a turn of the (previous) century newspaper article using the term in reference to people copying the rolls for player pianos.

Yeah, but who's going to convict them? The Government? That'll be the day.
who's the idiot who doesn't want sustainable business? the guy that does shit customer service on his customers.
The guy who's cashing his options at the end of the quarter and only needs the stock price to float until then.
You think the /. editors RTFA?
Leak? Hell, they've already committed a felony by possessing it in the first place.
Possibly because that was the metal detector, not the scanner.
I don't know which theater you were sitting in, but the 'nuke it from orbit' line was well received around here.
There is no such thing as 'actual age' or 'actual time interval' It is all frame dependent. In our frame, the black hole has existed for thirty years.
No, it's 50,000,030 years old no matter where you are
And this is where you failed modern physics.
Not after you took a dump on the credit card scanner...
*poke*
I can't tell if he's real or not. It's like seeing a mirage while high.

Do you honestly think that someone who would murder based on this tweet wouldn't have committed murder anyway?
Parliament and the courts in the UK would seem to disagree with you.

That would be the Mellow Yellow.
You clicked the link? HERETIC! Get thee from our midst before we burn you as the INTARWEBS demand!
I can point the camera well enough without a viewfinder.
Then either you're a very good photographer, or a very very bad one who can't tell the difference (or just doesn't care, I suppose).

Water isn't even on the ballot. There is, however, Mellow Yellow...yeah, no thanks.
I've never met a political party I didn't despise.
I swear these guys think their customers are stupid...
To be fair, their most profitable customers are Twilight readers so...yeah, I'm sure they do think their customers are stupid.

Or funding the people writing shitty Windows code...
I meant 'gall' in the face of a contempt of court charge, say telling the judge to shove it when he threatens to hold you in contempt.
