You do business on foreign soil according to the laws of the land, and if the laws of the land say you can't change the availability of your product based on locale then don't just hide behind the music industry's rhetoric in order to make a quick buck. Do the right thing.
I remember this sort of thing happening too. I lived in Selleck back in 1998-1999 and any given time during the day you could pop open your network neighborhood and see at least a dozen other computers in the building with open file shares. It was great.
Dream Theater owns my face. And you're exactly right about social issues, how about Kick the Chair by Megadeth, or The Great Debate by DT? Better than some hip gangsta rollin on dubs.

What the hell are you talking about? I progressed through all the new zones and leveled to 70 easily through solo quests. Even if you're antisocial or only have an hour or two at a time to play, the new content is very, very accessible.
Mythic did this with Dark Age Of Camelot, giving you the option to start at level 20 and implementing NPCs to give you starter equipment, etc.. However hindsight being 20/20, they stated that starting a character at level 20 did more harm than good due to it killing the 1-20 crowd. The bottom line is, the easiest thing you can do to kill your incoming customer base is to give them nobody to play with.
Because 99% of their users don't give a shit if they can post anonymously or not. They just want to be able to share the video of them teasing their cat.

If a student turns in a research paper citing Wikipedia they should get an F-.
You mean they're going to block your right to cancel your subscription if you don't like how they run their service? Oh, the humanity!

Also, fuck the RIAA.
But if everybody downloaded their OS, the tubes would get clogged up, and that would be just as bad - if not worse!
I almost bought a wii a few months back but decided not to after I found out it doesn't play DVDs, which is absolutely ridiculous.
You didn't have at least three other things in your house that could play DVDs already? Almost hard to pull that off these days.
I don't have phone service. I don't need it. So what?

And by the Orange Bowl, I mean the Fiesta Bowl. :P
... as hard as you stuck it to Florida in the 1996 Orange Bowl!

I'd like to know what they did to disable those functions, because I just printed out a copy no problem.
