Yeah but if they just told the Movie studios to screw off and made a real media center (that plays MY videos) there would be a whole lot less people bothering with modchip and hacking,.
And to be brief, no one cares what you think. A lot of people disagree with you, includng the Swedish parliment. I guess they have their fingers in their ear too.
But that cant be, you hit the nail on the head, you are absolutely right with everything you said, now would you please go away happy someone said you were correct.
Maybe it is immoral to you, however your beliefs of morality are not universal.
on a side note, if you are using Lost and 24 as examples of quality programming, god help us all.
And since when has TV pirates even made a hint of a dent in any money being made. I am sure if you talk to the TV studio they will claim that 4 trillion dollars of their deserved profits were stolen away while those nasty pirates anally raped their grandmothers all while pouring sugar in their gas tanks.
Have you ever considered that it isnt a loophole and just the way the law is supposed to be. They have known about it for a long time, if it were a loophole it would have been "fixed" maybe that country wants it to be that way.
Kind of like Russia and allofmp3.com. Maybe the Russian legislature just wants the law to work that way, they have had ample time and obviously been pressured to fix it, yet have not.
And btw, downloading stuff might very well be illegal for you, but the internet is a global network, which means laws of one country do not apply everywhere, yes yes, I know this is a difficult concept to grasp but it is true.
BTW, i wouldnt be proud if I were wearing a half life 2 tshirt.
The ISP internet connection is the problem, they oversold and cannot deliver. Much of the internet is capable of going that fast. For instance, I topped out on a Ubuntu iso yesterday at about 40Mb. 6Mb doesnt mean every connection will be that fast, but it sure as hell mean I can utilize upto 6Mb of bandwidth. Or they should drop their speed ads.
The other thing that ticks me off is Charter ads, they blatantly lie about DSL speeds. Which tier for tier is three times fast for less price. They try to compare a tier that doesnt even exist (256kb) to Charter's 3Meg service. Well considering DSL starts at 1.5 megs around here, and Charter starts at 312 (for the same price per month) they are false advertising, but they put a tiny text disclaimer on the bottom saying how they tested. But no one in the real world would test top vs bottom classes of service.
Um actually you can have it both ways. Favoring security does not mean a whole lot if they basically destroy any user experience and make it a complete pain in the ass to use. Security and Ease of use are not mutually exclusive. Making something secure does not mean you have to make other areas worse, despite what you have read on slashdot.
That is one nice thing about many unix interfaces, a consistent interface for setting up a class of hardware. None of this cute cuddly randomly generated interface that windows has, with a new set of utilities for every single different mfg.
It may not always be supported in linux/freebsd but once it is, it will work in a manner consistent to the system.
Except grandma wouldnt fall into the casual gamer category. She doesnt matter in this equation. Casual gamer means people that can check their email and favorite sites without a problem, can buy a computer on their own and generally know how to get the flashing 12:00 off of their vcr. Nintendo wants to expand, but not include every single low tech person on the planet.
And what is really sad is that the entire music and movie industry is actually quite small. They are so small no one should listen to them to the extent they do.
Slashdot Mirror
This edition is limited, by how many they will actually sell.
1/10 failure rate? what kind of crappy media are you buying?
Yeah but if they just told the Movie studios to screw off and made a real media center (that plays MY videos) there would be a whole lot less people bothering with modchip and hacking,.
so all transmitters are illegal?
hmm I did not know that. (Most transmitters can interfere with those frequencies already.)
Because we all know that society and culture did not exist before copyright.
Yeah, but wont rfid just say it exists. Not exactly useful in a relatively small environment.
"well its here somewhere, we know it didnt float away outside"
There is no "we"
And to be brief, no one cares what you think.
A lot of people disagree with you, includng the Swedish parliment. I guess they have their fingers in their ear too.
But that cant be, you hit the nail on the head, you are absolutely right with everything you said, now would you please go away happy someone said you were correct.
I chose not to answer why.
But simply, many people support them because those people feel there is no wrongdoing and they should not be punished.
the next administration being far less corrupt?
you are adorable.
There is no "we". I will say it again, there is no "WE" so stop acting as if this site is a cohesive community with a single agenda.
You dont support the pirate bay. guess what, no one cares.
Many MANY MANY people do support them and obviously do care.
Like you said, a lot of people are pirating a lot. You will not change their opinions, so please just go away.
Maybe it is immoral to you, however your beliefs of morality are not universal.

First of all, people are not arrested for this, so stop with that idiocy right now.
Second of all, there are no logs
Third, notice how no one has been sued in the USA for downloading...only uploading.

Since the INS cant keep track, of well anyone at all, what makes these "representatives" think this would do any good.
Ill ask the question apparently no one else bothered to ask in this proposal.
What is the point? what purpose will it serve.
None, thats exactly what I thought.
Why not, that is pretty much how it is today?

Midget Tennis!!!!! Now that would be a great game

No, price fixing is colluding to set a price at any amount.

No they just target 13 year olds and people without computers.
Personally I would just flat out ignore the law, mod chip it, run XMBC or linux or whatever and not care that I am "doing something illegal"
