But they were demanding that he DELETE THE FUCKING PHOTOS! How do you avoid confronting the officer while simultaneously not suffering the permanent, irrecoverable loss of your property?
You don't. You shut up, delete the photos, and move on with your life, unless you want to ruin it instead.
Freedom isn't free. Your forefathers put in a great deal more effort to attain their freedom. It's not too much to ask that you do something from time to time to retain your freedom.
Like being financially devastated and given so much stress that you lose many things in life, never to be seen again? I think I'll take submission over misery.
With that line the teacher can offer you food, which leaves you with no excuse next time.
Or they could tell you to fuck off and give you a failing grade, because honestly, teachers don't get paid enough to care about every little snowflake in their classes.
This notion simply disgusts me and is a dangerous development, which clearly sets dangerous precedents which may be used to supress certain political dissent and create a saudi arabia like totalitarian state where everything from perfectly harmless pornography of consenting adults for consenting adults, to certain kinds of music and political views are illegal. this creeping vicious totalitarian trend is quite disturbing to me and creepy. As a supporter of free speech and liberty, I strongly oppose this idea, and that to protect our freedoms and human rights, this horrible idea which threatens the rights of the people should be totally defeated. It is quite clear that many countries are degenerating into a totalitarian police state where powerful elites may decide what you are allowed to see and hear. People did not fight and die in vain so that we would give up the freedoms we fought for.
Sadly, their deaths were in vain. The common people will never stand up against this; they'll be too busy watching reality TV to bother. I know this quote has been beaten to death, but it still fits so well: If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
Except in this case, the roaches have destroyed the light switch for the US and destroy anyone who dares get within a radius of fixing it. Does anyone honestly believe that the RIAA will get anything other than continued pats on the back from the government as they destroy anyone in their path for all eternity?
Good luck. If you tried that, I'm pretty sure most other countries would bomb you to nonexistence. Can't have the proles getting uppity and thinking they can form their own country where they aren't drained by the upper class.
The RIAA's new strategy isn't perfect, but it's a helluva lot better than trying to sue their customers into lifelong financial ruin.
If they put new technology in place that allows them to filter and send warning letters to the people behind filesharing, what makes you think they won't double dip and both block them from the internet AND sue them into ruin only escapable by death?
Couldn't the ISPs kick the user off the network but still force them to stay true to the contract: IE keep playing for the service they were kicked out of until their contract expires?
The fact of the matter is that when you're voting for your Senator, Representative, or President you rarely have a good choice. It's just varying degrees of bad.
Worse still, given the way the system is set up, it is literally impossible for this to change, outside of a major revolt, and even then, all it would take to pacify most of the aggravated would be nuking a few major cities holding many rebels, and everyone would go back to hiding in fear.
And worse still? The two parties are getting more and more extreme and worse. And the rest of the world is following our lead.
In other words, we're screwed and there's nothing we can do about it ever. Hope you are able to sleep well at night.
I don't think anyone's really stupid enough to piss off someone who has the ability to ruin your life, or, if they're really corrupt, make you disappear.
The simple solution to this is to bankrupt the RIAA members. It worked for the big three - they've been producing crap cars for decades now, while the Japanese took our advice that our own people would not receive, and have been producing fantastic, high-quality cars.
In other words, give them a bailout once they ask for it?
We're a nation, nay, maybe world run mostly by bullies it seems these days. I don't know if this has always been the case, but it doesn't seem like something that will ever fade. Don't you ever feel like just giving up somedays? I respect you for your efforts, but...
Music labels are dead. They don't control the artists. They don't control access to the masses. They have no traits that would let them survive in the future.
They've got money, and they've got lawyers. What's more, they're bullies. And unsurprisingly, bullies don't just win in elementary school. They tend to win in life too.
Tax me and spy on me to preserve your business model? That's going way too far and enough to make me say it's time to let slip the dogs of war on them.
Their dogs are bigger than yours. You do this, and they'll (financially) kill you for it, you do realize, right?

Don't worry. Anyone who manages to get into power already thinks censorship is a good idea, regardless of what their peers think.
Actually making one's case to a jury is not much different than making one's case to the public.
Considering jury duty is composed of people who couldn't think of a good excuse to get out of jury duty, it's quite different indeed.

They'll probably get a bailout for their efforts too.
On the contrary, it's about to begin in full force.

>>>It's a terror campaign
And what do we do with terrorists? Shoot 'em.
No, if they're American based, we give them bailouts.

So the trick is, that they can put anyone to jail if he does not fit their agenda.
Then why not just go along with the agenda so you don't get bothered, even if you don't agree with it?
We're a nation, nay, maybe world run mostly by bullies it seems these days. I don't know if this has always been the case, but it doesn't seem like something that will ever fade.

This spawned numerous debates as to whether the we should really remove the erroneous information, or mark it as bad information.
No mark as bad and refer to replacement note option?

Maybe from the combined cost of an iPhone original plan which includes the voice?
Um, I don't think you can just "blow Google up". Don't they have datacenters around the globe?
Any business model that isn't a danger to freedom probably would be against shareholder wishes of said business.
And also seek these things, you seek an early grave as well, sadly.
