I see, so it's not theft if it does not affect the publisher's bottom line? Ok, then in that world, here is an example of acceptable behavior. I live in a suburb where my neighbor's house is only 50 feet away from mine. I cannot afford cable TV but my neighbor can and he has it. Tonight I will sneak into his yard and splice some coax into his cable so I can enjoy the same service in my house. This is not theft because I cannot afford cable and therefore the cable provider is not impacted. That works for you. Right?
That's some interesting logic. Here is what I think you are saying. I wrote a software product and I've decided that you must pay to use it. In your world, anyone who would not or could not pay for it can steal it.
Perhaps we should codify this in law. Write the text of the law that allows this usage for those who could or would not pay otherwise.
There are many people reading this who have the skills necessary to work on Linux as an Oracle employee. My question is: would you consider it? I've interviewed a fair number of Oracle employees in the past 6 months and many of them complain that the corporate headquarters in Redwood Shores is no longer a place to innovate. Most software development is now being done in India. The Redwood Shores staff is mostly engaged in integrating technology from the constant stream of acquisitions.
Good morning everyone. I have a solution to this problem with your frustration over how Universal is handling their property.
Create an alternative that has the same potential and then market it in the way you want. Create a great story, acquire the financing needed to produce the film, produce the film on time and in budget, and then let your fans virally market the film.
What's stopping you? If you practice what you preach with property that you own then perhaps your example will convince Universal to do the same with their property.
If George Bush violates human rights then I am against it. If China violates human rights then I am against it. I am for human rights. Respect for human rights is not a team sport where you should root for your side no matter what. Its about absolute standards.
I think you are trying to drag Bush into this because you just can't pass on any chance to bash him, even if it means apologizing for China and providing cover for them to behave like animals.
Ok, here is my rumor: I think the 1989 Tianenmenn crackdown by the Chinese army was a mistake and that the current government of China should publicly apologize.
Will you shed a tear for me when I am locked up for spreading rumors?
The state of Israel has been in existence for 50 years now. For children who are being born into this world today, what would you have them do? Should they be burdened with the old grudges? Let's bury the hatchet and move on.
Who was the politician? Please name him or her. Do you have the text of your correspondance with the politician that you can share here? That would be helpful.
Are you asserting that the average European has more rights and influence on their leadership? How is it that Americans are being denied those things? Please be specific.
You are not funny. Even if this post was in jest it reveals a very immature writer. Someday, when you have a few more years of life experience under your belt, you'll look back on today and realize that you have acted like a complete jackass.

The US government is not the only government on the planet telling lies.

Why do you feel sorry for me?
Wow! Do you mean that film production is hard and risky?
Give me an example of such a law that these bad people would write. Write it for me and we can review it together.

You are right that it is not in common use for emails. However, the fact that it is there and available for private individuals is comforting to me.
I'm not sure what you mean by
5. Pass laws,
in this context of open film making. Can you elaborate?
Dude,

Pekov,
Do you think the current state of Israel has a right to exist? I do think they have that right.

Imperialism? Let's say I accept your charge. What should the government of our society do about it?
Really? You just walk out? Where do you work? What's your position in the company?
I'm an Intel manager. I refuse to move. Now what?
I hereby appoint you abolute ruler of the USA. What will you do about Intel's decision?
What would you do if you were running the USA as absolute ruler? Would you let Intel make this change?

You're claiming that software standards are decaying. Do you have any objective measurement that illustrates that unabiguously? What is it?
What if the government wants to troll through your search queries to see if you committed a crime? I assume that's ok with you.
Can you elaborate on this a little bit? If success is not merit based then what is success based on?
