is it really exploitation if you take someone who is making 50 cents a day and pay them 5 dollars a day (10 times more than they made before) or is it simply that you believe anything less than 100 grand a year is slave wages??? I would wager the employee who was making 50 cents a day prior to employment by facebook or apple who goes on to make 5 dollars a day a huge increase.
My idea is simple and would stop the majority of bogus takedowns
If you ask for a takedown, and it comes back that you asked for a takedown on a video that you dont have rights to, you pay 10X the fine, so if posting a video illegally infringing someones work would cost you 10 grand, than the issuer of the takedown notice should be required to pay 100 grand, the fees to the company, in this case youtube and the rest goes to the wrongfully accused.
I am not sure I agree with your point 2. As someone who downloads many..many works, I use youtube more for indy stuff, Stuff I might not see if it were not on youtube. Id wager the copywrited stuff I see on youtube is at max 10% of the stuff I see on youtube total.
so do we sue time warner for giving me the internet connection That I use to upload the dirivitive to yourtube? where does it end? with the user, one of the many middlemen?
if she only gave her opinion based on her beliefs as a christian, than yes, other christians who were not spounting off hate speech (and neither was she, even if I dont agree with her) ARE threatened.
do you spend as much time putting down the people of other religions, who want to say, kill americans simply for being american?
if the answer is yes, That I am fine with your comments, eventhough I disagree with them (as an atheist no less) But if you dont hve as much hatred for the "other religions" as you do the christians, than I will say what you are saying is hate speech, based on your own definition of the act.
so...you are telling me if a black man walks into a store and starts yelling about how he hates whitey, The owner can kick him out and not serve him?
while I agree with you, If you REALLY think that it wouldnt be taken into court, or at bare minimum al sharpton wouldnt be all over you for your "racism" you are mistaken
ok, someone makes the claim that homosexuality is wrong, believe it or not, it is NOT hate speech
Others replied with death threats and other miserable responses, which is worse? me saying that I find homosexuality to be wrong (I dont) or you telling me you want to cut my throat for saying so? (an actual comment on said video)
Personally, I find the idea of "haate speech" or "hate crimes" to be unfair, as it changes the crime based on skin color or other identifiers, the same identifiers that said identifies want to be ignores because they want to be equal, but if you cant see that someone expressing their beliefs based on their religion is different from wishing death upon a particular person, there is no hope for you
funny story about this, here in NY, we are just now being notified about wild boar that excaped some "exotic hunting club" and are starting to populate the area.
using drones != to shooting them down with missiles.
I dont like being spied on any more than the rest of us, but lets not pretend that using a unmanned plane to do the same job as a manned helicopter is the same thing as shooting down speeders with a missile
Exactly, I am not in the camp of saying that my phone sucks because the battery life sucks, As someone who grew up with technology, I understand that what I have in my phone is more than I had in my first 4 or 5 computers, probably combine! HOWEVER, the point I was making is that personally, I find MOST screens these days to be more than good enough for a phone, I wish the companies would stop trying to get "more" in the screen (which no one can argue isnt the biggest user of battery life) and get more in the battery.
in other words "apple didnt build it, or design it... (although the requested it) so ew cant be mad at apple, we must blame samsung when someone comes out with something better"
might not have been the point you were making, but it is the argument many apple fanbois will use and gather from your comment
that makes sense than! as long as we hold the phone the way apple wants us to..you know, not covering the antenna.. everything is fine! see, apple knows whats best for us, we just need to learn to listen!
Why would the article say that "this screen stacks up well" when the truth is it is 2 fold stronger, regardless of if the human eye can handle it? This screen doesnt "stack up well" it is an amazingly better and I dont see why the writer of this headline would have said it the way he did

interesting theory, we should sue the HD makers,display makers and hard driver makers frivolously just to make that very point.
as long as he didnt name his son sue

we dont hate anyone, we simply wanna be left the hell alone to do what we want to in the privacy of our own homes without interference.
Darby, I have an honest question for you.
do you spend as much time putting down the people of other religions, who want to say, kill americans simply for being american?

which is it?

why would anyone fly a plane, or 3 into a few buildings in NYC or DC?

Especially in tech where things are dated in months, not years or decades (although I feel things have slowed slightly in the past 4 years)

Actually I only use about 25 min a month if that, the majority of the time I am using the web or texting
its a modded droid 3, It lasted a bit longer prior to the modding but still

might not have been the point you were making, but it is the argument many apple fanbois will use and gather from your comment
why is it that when its an apple product, people say things along the lines of "really?? I mean apple already has this, we dont need anything more!"
when will the "apple can do no wrong" idea disapareaR??
that makes sense than! as long as we hold the phone the way apple wants us to..you know, not covering the antenna.. everything is fine! see, apple knows whats best for us, we just need to learn to listen!
mod this up, every screen seems to be "good enough" at this point, but when my battery lasts me maybe 6 hours max, that is what needs addressing
Let me be the "apple hater" for a moment though
