Besides the concert organizer skipped the payment (and paid). Deep Purple didn't pay anything.
Right societies around the world demand compensation from concert promoters for the music performed. The artist is paid first for the performance (promoter pays) and for the music they play (promoter pays, 10% taken by rights society). The payment for the rights society (of which artists are members) is for their services of tracking the usage of artists' music worldwide - the societies' mission is to protect the artist, so in this case they demanded the promoter to pay so that Deep Purple is rightfully compensated.
That's what the article you linked says too.
The situation in Russia may be a bit underdeveloped (and one should follow if the society forwards the money to Deep Purple) but it's not that different from the rest of the world.
That's why I don't use words from dictionary. Made up words, combinations or mangled. It's easy to have per site unique password. Besides I come from somewhat minor language group which provides lots of weird material to the mix.
The reason why the brand names are so easily mentioned is that they are something new.
There's really no difference in saying 'Mike from Lond told us' and 'Mike from London tweeted (or send a Facebook message)'
It's sort of self-appreciation to mention the brands; you are proclaiming that you are part of the new wave and your media is up-to-date. That's a bit delusional, because most up-to-date media handle the new information sources like they are. Besides when the first excitement is over the media begins to look old if they keep on using the same brand ridden phrases. It'd seem to be wise (and timeless) to treat the new sources as another ways of communication than especially emphasizing their names.
Facebook and Twitter etc can easily be called together as social media, which is part of the news making and gathering today. Actually media today is social as a whole, and there are many means to be in contact in real time. This ban is about commercialisation of the news and not about the contact details given later on the stream.
I think the move is justified and you missed the point.
I have this M's MacBook Pro which has a randomly creaking areas around the touchpad. It appears to be a typical feature. It's like the creak of the old doors so it's definitely classy, but postmodern too in its mechanicality. Everytime I rest my hands on the chassis it fires a series of clicks like it was trying to communicate with me: "hit me with a hammer, hit me with a hammer".
The parent talked about resources not being shared between nations and I responded to that. I agree with you that the selfishness is the ultimate illusion.
The more equal the women are to the men the less children they will have. The more options available the more they are used by the women to control the fertility rate. It's tragic how much religion dictates the policies about the issue. The inevitable result of family planning projects and education is a falling fertility rate. It's actually pretty hard to find a country where the rate is going up.
Rationally sharing the resources doesn't mean that the fertility rate will be sustained or go up. The reason why the rates are up is because of the lack of knowledge.
The illusionary boundaries will vanish once we rise up from the nationalistic psychosis. There will be many wars before that happens, so it's not going to be pretty. The resources are getting scarce.
Sharing resources guarantees longer life / group's gene survival, so it's very logical. That works well in an environment where everyone follows the same logic.
Too bad the humanity still has a grave shortage of reason.
Precisely, but there would be a legal framework to prosecute the guilty. Although I do understand that the selfish prevail, but it would be rather odd not to try to end it.
Sure, but banning arms exports would be a great beginning.
France for example sold weapons to Rwanda genociders while the atrocities were on-going, so banning exports would provide a clear argument against atrocities and their cheerleaders. Pretty much all who could sold weapons to Gaddafi. You are saying that Africa is the prime example of brutality when in fact the outsiders have historically done most of the killings (Belgium killed millions in forced-labor camps in Kongo for starters) and provided weapons and manipulated politics.
The only reasonable way to argue for arms exports is to argue for the industry's economic impact, but humanely that's not really wise.
I just wish the notions of civility would expand to a complete ban of arms exports. Wars are not universal constants even though many like to believe in such perpetuity.
The reasoning: $40 million is only $0.005 per every human being, so if each potential future customer paid even one dollar once a year for the content we'd make $7 BILLION profit. It's a perpetual money making machine! Some even pay twice!
What civilian uses would the device have beyond the firearm realm? I can think of creating surround sound impulses for example by locating echos in 3D. How about locating cracks or similar events?
It's about the freedom of religion, so academic fact based bashing should be considered legal. This act is basically nonsensical and states nothing new. However, if one belief system gets a special treatment it might be in conflict with the basic rights. In the end this act will (hopefully) be banished because of a legal dispute like that. ID is a branch of Creationism. They are trying to hole themselves into the system by rebranding religion as science.

They will make profit anyway. And they have been making more profit than the others by using something for free and asking money for it.
This is sort of like deciding whether to commit a crime or not. If you get only to pay for it it'st just matter of having enough money.
It would be interesting to see what the ethics would be if the executives were personally responsible.
Besides in the business class you get glasses, steel forks and knives plus you can order bottled wines and champagnes.
Where's the topic?

it's obviously a subtle freudian slip. The hardon collider is about in Geneva and Brussels has the chocolate.
THey'll probably stick a webcam right in the middle of the steering wheel and then spend 6 - 12 months programming a crash proof image stabilizer.

You don't hear about the companies that do keep their servers secure, do you?
There are also reasons why the most secure organisations do not publicise breaches.
So this is what happens when you drool too much.

Perhaps they found the tools of GOD?!
I also like AwesomeBar. All I need to do is to type in the chick's name and there she is!
I keep wondering why LOAD "*",8,1 keeps crashing Macs.
