And these are the people who fully deserve to be dragged out of their bed at 1 am, strung to a light pole and flogged 39 times with a cat of nine tales too.
I agree.
The TechCrunch post is shrill and doesn't address the central issue that Posner presents: How do you maintain a free press when free-riders can inexpensively and quickly copy and redistribute your original content?
He raises a valid point and the TechCrunch completely sidesteps it.
Note the term "Free press'. We haven't ever had 'free (as in no cost to anyone) press'. We've have 'I must paid for this but he isn't persecuted for saying it' press. And honestly, why is it that we have to montize everything anyway. What is so wrong with inexpensively and quickly copy and redistribute content? We have crap being given now with local criminals elevated to national level, useless trivia dominating national news. I think Non profit news is a good idea, perhaps real events would be covered again instead, 'OH look Fergie is crapping' on CNN, or 'The governor of SC buggered prostitutes on the taxpapers of that states dime" These aren't national news. National news is items that effect everyone in the country at once. 9/11, Okc Bombing, the wars going on, US congressmen buggering on our dime, these are national thing. "Fergie is crapping' or 'The governor of SC buggered prostitutes on the taxpapers of that states dime a're local events.
There is also something no one is noticing. If there is no hotlinking, then yes, newspapers and other sources of news will vanish. But guess what? people still won't pay for news sites or newspapers. So what will happen is suing over copyright will stop because it will mean you content becomes invisible and you make no money on it. And to these people money is king. So if this happen, newspapers will either completely die off leaving public domain news available (because they must make money more than sure to be exclusive) it will kill copyrighting in the US. Oh and us on the net we will stop dealing US news with is actually good because they might stop broadcasting trivia and local events and nationwide. And perhaps some one might finally muzzle Nancy Grace.

suddenly, everything made sense
Ok, From Justin to Kelly wasn't really that bad. Now, Ishtar...and Battlefield Earth; those were baaaad.
Mine comes from the 1918 Oxford English dictionary. You are not the first nor will you be the last to abuse the actual definition of the word. Or failing to understand (as does the author of that supposed dictionary) what an aphorism or a colloquialism is.
No, the correct way to have said this is "People at Sothink decided to violate the GPL by plagiarizing a piece of core code from FlashGot." This requires you to actually use your vocabulary you were taught in school.
And none of those is correct grammar or vocabulary either. You can't steal someones heart without them dying. The "steal your heart" is a aphorism. "Its means to fall in love while resisting" And you aren't stealing cable, unless you are actually taking the coax, you are illegally accessing the service. You aren't stealing an identity, you are falsely representing yourself.
By definition stealing means to remove and deprive the owner of a physical object. This means the owner loses possession of it. Anything that is not physical can't be stolen.
Do I think 19th century physicists had iPhones in mind when they were creating rudimentary batteries and experimenting with electromagnetism? Yes, but in that sense. You forget most commercial innovation is because of a need. A need that is expressed by capitalist endeavor.
those french died under napoleon. They never ressurected. French support the Confederates during the civil war. And we had to save them during but world wars. I often wonder how much of their culture would have survived had we not rescued them.
Solution: IP geolocation for sourceforge blocking.
And a nice note stating that once French govt gets its head out of its ass, the site will be unblocked to them.
And Here I was looking forwards to it receiving the 2009 Vaporware award of the year! They were going to give it an lifetime non-achievement award too.
WE rank according to the most medals achieved while everyone else save cbc rank according to the most Gold. I think that the most medals is a superior ranking just like I think soccer should be the name of the sport where you can't touch the ball not football.
Honestly, neat but if your smart have your power button set to five second shut down. By the time they get to it, its off. O well. Also, hotplug doesn't work in the US because we actually insulate our plugs with plastic.
Personally, I attend college and I can see KU having alot of empty dorms this semester. When administration notices that, the rule will vanish quietly. Them making money will always outweight anything else.
Hello, Anti! Wakey wakey!. Its your Nine oclock alarm call. HELLO, ANTI. Thump Thump Thump!
If anything the amount of decent antivirus product has shrunk again, and Microsoft is no where near it.
I disagree. He should know that a beta has very few drivers out especially for a laptop. A desktop maybe. But it is cutting edge Microsoft and we all know how dull that blade can be.

I am sorry but the netbook would not be the thing I would be thinking of shooting if I went over.

If only we could get the Pirate party of here, maybe we could some sense back into things.
remove the soviet and it is even on accurate.

can I send a lump of coal to Danowsky, Pontén and Wadsted?
Sure. Just send it to IFPI.com. For added effect, sprinkle some flour on it.
Is it clean coal?
