    Then the writers/exec producers saw this and decided to drive it into the ground as propaganda for his personal agenda of Homosexual enlightenment. When given the opportunity to actually do a show around his life, it failed miserably. (ie the New normal was just canceled by NBC for ahem poor ratings) glee survives on the orginal audience waiting for the reunion of the main characters and nothing else. If one of those leads leaves, Show is dead.

    I get Dr. Who off the Pirate bay because even though I pay for BBC America I hate the way they slice it up. (and the opening commentary that assumes you have no brain) I do the same for continuum. If I had access to Shaw that I would pay for.

    Once again you are abusing the concept of rights. You dont have a right to copy (as you pointed out). However, you don't have the right to create either. You have the privilege to create. You have the privilege to have the govt protect it from being reproduced someone else name on it. Thats not what is going on. Thats what people don't get. Pirate bay is facilitating the distributed of works created by an individual for consumption because the original distributor refuses to even if the consumer is willing to pay.. This is all about control. The industries want to continue the model that has been in existance since the 1950s where they get a 3/4 of the pie the creator and everyone else gets whats left.

    If you are against PB you are supporting RIAA raping artists of their works for decades with very little to show. You are supporting talentless hacks making gobs of money simply because they are pliable and easily directed. You support garbage movies with no substance like 'Spring Breakers' Quit believing that Hollywood is helping you. They aren't. They are like the pickpockets in Milan and Rome. Its that they never had to compete so they didnt care. But their history shows that anytime anything that would pull control away from their ability to tightly monitor every copy of content they fought.
    VCR, DVR, MP3 players, Napster, Aereo, TIVO and not bittorrent.
    They want to decide what and when to watch, I for one say no.

    As the entire concept of copyright revolves around what is supposed to be an exclusive privilege to control who makes copies, usurping some of that control by taking matters into ones own hands and making an unauthorized copy *DOES* deprive the copyright holder of some of their privileges.

    The only way you can argue otherwise is to suggest that the copyright holder shouldn't have had such privileges in the first place, but since that's entirely what copyright is, literally, as I said, the right to copy, you may as well be advocating copyright abolition.

    Edited out rights because /. doesn't seem to support s tag which is in HTML 5.
    All our rights are in the constitution. Other laws are what privileges he has as citizens. The current model of Copyright is broken as it was designed for printing presses and non duplicatable items. A US citizen has a right to life, he doesn't have a right to copy, he has the privilege to not copy other peoples stuff and call it his own which is what the idea behind copyright was. Reproduction of someone elses work using your money was never a problem until the advent of the internet.

    That's a fantastic selective quote from the free online dictionary. I have just one question: Why did you leave off the 3rd and 4th definition?

    3. One who makes use of or reproduces the work of another without authorization.

    4. One that operates an unlicensed, illegal television or radio station.

    How about finding the third definition in an actual websters or oxford bound dictionary printed oh in 1960 or 1940? You would be surprised that the political correct 3rd definition isn't in there. Why? Because its the first definition of Infringement..

    You act as if that's difficult. It was done with ease prior to the advent of the internet. Now its simple.

    I seriously doubt the millions of starving africans use metric. So what they think 'I will eat a kilogram of dirt today?' Same with most illiterate Muslim people And Chinese use Chinese measurements and then convert them to metric. So about maybe 700 million as most indians are in the same boat as the africans .
