Live Sports. The only reason I keep cable is to watch live sports. Until the pirates figure out a way to stream live sports in high quality, I'll be sticking to cable. Beyond that, I don't need it
So you suggest people stopping on the freeway and waiting until they can make changes to their device? How about we just make the driving test harder so not every shit driver can get one
GEMA doesn't file notices at all. The ContentID system does it all automatically. Problem is the ContentID system has no way of knowing if something is infringing or not.
What are you talking about? Nowhere does it say that the licenses have to be free. People could pay the license fee and upload to youtube. GEMA is, however, entirely responsible for claiming they own the music. In many cases, I bet they don't
Hold the phone here: The constitution says that we have the right to own and possess guns, yet makes no mention of the right to sell them. I'm actually 100% positive what Chicago did here was not illegal
Exactly right. The guy had the right to wear his google glasses in a public place, and the people he was dining around had no expected right to privacy in said public place
The problem with applying your conservative principles in this case is that the impacts from global warming will be upon us long before coal is no longer economically viable. Those making money from coal do not care about the consequences, since they're making big bucks while taking a small personal risk, whereas their profits have a negative impact on us all. If coal burning had no negative impact, I would agree, but since it does, it needs to be monitored and an alternative needs to be found
Its called abortion, but the Right don't like that either.
Also, it sounds like you only want wealthy people to have children. Just another way the wealthy is keeping the poor down
No, the house of representatives represents the will of the gerrymanderers. Theres a reason why the senate and president are Democrat controlled, while the House is republican controlled. Heres a hint: The republicans redrew district lines to increase republican votes!
The Republicans are holding the budget hostage as a last resort to prevent a law that legally passed from taking hold (The Affordable HealthCare Act). They've been bitching and moaning for years about it, and now that its time for the majority of the law to go into effect, they decide that if they can't get their way (defunding the law) then NOBODY can have a budget
I'm pretty sure possession of pirated content is illegal too.
The problem with their argument is that it is impossible to determine what is piracy and what isn't. You can't block every.mp3 on thepiratebay: some musicians purposefully put their work up there. You can't determine it by file name: many artists use the same names for songs as existing songs...
You can look at illegal child porn images and instantly know that they're illegal, but you can't just look at a file and know either way if its illegal or not
Sure, but I don't have $30 billion to pay for all of those service's monthly fees. If everything was on Netflix, I'd get netflix. NOTHING is on netflix. However, everything is on the pirate bay, and its put up immediately, takes 20 minutes to download, I can put the file on any device I have for playback. Once again, its not a problem of price, but a problem of the paying service providing an inferior service
Exactly this. The big services (NetFlix, RedBox, HBO and other premium channels, Amazon, etc) are all fighting for exclusive contracts to entice people to pay for their specific service. Its bullshit; let all providers have access to all media, and let them win or lose based on innovation, not based on what they do and don't have media-wise
Imagine a grocery store that only sells General Mills products. You'd have to go there to get your cereals and all, then go to the Harrisburg Dairy's store to get milk. People wouldn't stand for that, I have no idea why they stand for the way movies are distributed.
Luckily, the torrents have everything, exactly when I want it
You realize that your TV is still only 1080p, whether its 55" or 155", its resolution is only 1920x1080. The issue at hand here is that when running windows on a higher resolution, such as the Retina display MBPs, the pixel density quadruples, and windows just cant handle that. We're talking resolution, not screen size
Not in Maryland. If you refuse the breathalyzer test, you lose your license and are automatically charged with suspicion of driving under the influence
Are you implying that the difference of protons and neutrons is what defines personal property vs non personal property?
I'm sure the founding fathers didn't make that distinction

Not technically. The prophecy called him "Peter the Roman" but that doesn't mean that has to be his given or pope name. Also, the church will never have a Peter II out of respect for the first pope, Peter

Fine. You can stay at my place for completely free, however there is a $100/day electricity charge. Happy?

Android has multiple app stores, and actually has apps to fill them with. Your argument is invalid

Actually, yes, that is the case. Kids have no right to free speech, or any right to reasonable search and seizure of their property
