I think it's pretty obvious that she downloaded the music and ultimately wiped her drive. That's not really in question. But stealing music and getting rid of the evidence doesn't warrant jail time for a first time offender I wouldn't think. I would doubt she'll end up in jail, but I wouldn't give the RIAA a dime even if faced with jail time.
I'd rather go to jail than to buckle under any pressure from the RIAA or MPAA. I hope it is an example set - by her - for other defendants in such cases. "F" those corporate vampires.
It's obviously a ploy to track P2P users and then try to prosecute. It's not even that subtle. Sony just keeps on shooting itself in the foot. Hopefully more people will boycott this stupid company. Since rootkit I won't buy anything Sony and they just keep reinforcing that decision.
If anyone thinks that Google®(TM) isn't a faceless mega corporation now, this kind of corporate, much to do about nothing, whining should convine even the most ardent Google®(TM) apologist.
Way to go guys, you've made it to the big time. Now go ruin the company and alienate your customers. I know, I know, it's just the natural evolution of big business. You can't help yourselves.
And piracy is just the natural response to an oppressive technology. Yes, people just want free stuff too, but there are plenty of people such as myself who are more than willing to pay a FAIR price for their music and movies along with having a FAIR USE policy to go along with said music and movies. Buying a song from iTunes, using it as background music on a slideshow presentation of personal photographs put into iPhoto, then burning the slideshow onto a CD to share with friends and family only to have that song not able to be played unless iTunes is installed on the machine the CD is played on and also MY iTunes login needing to be entered on that machine and then only being able to do that a total of 5 times so if I had more than just a couple siblings it won't work for everyone even if I jump through all those hoops just to present a nice personal photo display to a few family members.[deep breath] Needless to say I won't ever pay for a DRM encoded song ever again. It's the principle people. DRM is evil.
Why is that when an alternative opinion is presented contrary to what the editor's might hold to be true, then the "offending" post is scored negatively? You guys are fascists. Score THIS.
How's about keeping an open mind on this "open" website. Besides, it's common knowledge that lawyers are the scum of the earth. I didn't just make that up.
...it's all about making sure the lawyers GET PAID. These vampires could care less about any defendents, they just want to guarantee their fees are paid. It's pathetic. Just lawyers helping lawyers is what this is all about. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either or lawyer or is blind, just like our justice system has become, and not in the way originally intended.
See?? As soon as the US gives up control of the internet, anarchy breaks out. We can't let Cameroon get away with this! It doesn't even have a decent soccer team!! Oh...wait...
What is new about this statement? The state of Israel was fascist from day one. They bought the land from absentee landlords right out from under the Palestinian occupants and then forcibly removed them instead of working out a deal to live in peace together because they wanted a Jewish state. If that's not totally fubar'd I don't know what is. The Jews have wanted to kick arab ass since the beginning of time. Now they just happen to have the firepower to do so. We've (the US) have been keeping them in check, but the stupid arab radicals just keep poking Israel with a stick so what do you expect them to do? Yes, Israel has an itchy trigger finger, but they really didn't start this one. They've been playing this prisoner trading dance for so long I guess they got sick of it and I can't say I blame them. I hope they kick Hezbollah's ass right back to Iran where they belong. Those idiots have to states that are sympathetic so why can't they just live where they're wanted and leave everyone else the hell alone? Blaming Israel is like blaming a dog who bites a kids finger after he poked the dog's eye through the fence. What the hell do expect is going to happen?
Well, in all sincerity, it is YOU who are full of it and I couldn't give to shits if you don't agree on a lot of points, or any points. It is the rest of the world who is being irrational and I would be ashamed of you if you were an American and what's that got to do with anything in the first place? You're not so I'm talking to you is if you're not. Why would I talk to you any other way? Maybe you THINK you know the US, but do you live here? Have you ever lived here? Then you know from liberal, peacenik propaganda which basically means you don't know shit. You might as well pay attention to Al-Jazeera to get your news. Don't talk to me like you know about us or the US because it just makes you look even more like some nose up in the air, jealous 'cause you're not American, Eurotrash commie bastard. But then, maybe that's what you are so you can't help it. You American bashers make me want to puke. It's painfully obvious sometimes that, if not for Hitler's issues with the Jews, we were on the wrong side in WWII.
Oh yeah, FF is SO secure. Just more proof that if hackers want to hack, they'll find a way. It irks me when I see those Mac commercials about not getting attacked by viruses. The more popular FF became the more the script kiddies had a reason to F with it.
Bitch, bitch, bitch. We've done more to advance the cause of peace and democracy in the history of this planet than any other nation in any other civilization. Irregardless of politics and administrations, the scope of our contributions to freedom, peace, ending hunger, environmental awareness and just plain living life as it should be lived, is immeasurable. As a people we possess the will and means to make a positive impact through our NGOs and charitable contributions as well as education, medicine, and shear will to do what's right. Any words to the contrary is just sour grapes. Most folks who will go out of their way to list America's faults are only jealous because they can't enjoy living in the greatest nation to ever grace this planet's face. Forget God bless America, I'm an atheist, the American people bless America with their charity, ingenuity, and the ability to know how to do the right thing even if it isn't the popular thing. Jealousy is an ugly thing.
Everyone loves to throw the word imperialism around. The day we invade Europe because we're just plain tired of listening to you whiny bastards, then you can talk to me about imperialsim. But I'll still ignore you because the invasion will be justified. So bite me.
Some people are just too smart for their own good. America is a free country. We as Americans love that about this country. We also don't give a shit if Eurotrash pseudo-intellectuals get their panties in a bunch over our foreign policy. As far as I'm concerned my statements are based on facts and history and are indisputable. So you can all bite me if you feel the need to argue for the sake of argueing.
Follow up emails from other folks mentioned he was ranting about the blown up UN post and one of the other guys was talking about quitting because PHP was backed by some Israeli company. Stupid politics. I understand having principles, but unless a relative was blowed up as well, then he should quit crying and get back to work. It's not as if Israel decided to invade on a whim and I doubt they blew up the UN post on purpose.
I don't work for E*TRADE, but I do have their money market account and it pays the best interest in the business and refunds your ATM fees. Keep the balance above 1000 bucks and it's fee free as well. The best one out there in my opinion.
As in spine. I understand our "do it our way or die" mentality isn't very popular overseas right now but, no matter what anyone says to the contrary, this cannot be a good thing.
We invented it, we've run it just fine so far,. Was it hurting anyone maintaining control of something as democratic as the internet by a the most staunchly democratic and freedom loving country in the world? We should just leave well enough alone.
Geeezuz, the tone of the post is the most FUD I've ever read. As far as browser operability goes, FF works like crap on a lot of websites - including THIS ONE! I know becuause I'm using it right now and the website looks like crap. Images running into words and vice versa. IE 7 works fine for chrisake. Could everyone just five the MS bashing a rest for a while? It's all a bunch of sour grapes.
I would rather buy a 'roided up media computer with über storage and hook it up to my HD home theatre system and rent downloaded movies for 5 bucks or so than to bother with a possibly soon-to-be obsolete technology at early adoption prices. If one format takes off over the other or something else comes along to replace either or both then I just buy either an internal or external "whatever" drive and install it/hook it up to the PC. Two birds with one stone if you ask me...and you didn't.
I see typos every day in news stories from "journalists" why should we expect more from some geek? It really is the decline of western civilization as we know it. Oh yeah, and DDR is gay.
I read the prospectus and just like when I gamble I'm not counting on leaving the casino with much in my pocket, but IPOs are funny things and just maybe I'll beat the house a little on this one. If not, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
