If you guys start stealing text books too just keep in mind that its the lthe little guys who will suffer like the unions who man the presses and the shmoos like me who are paid to put the book together.
Upgrading an Apple yourself or having Apple do it arent the only options. Additionally, for a labor based task its the cost of labor that makes it expensive.
The crazy environmentalist end up blocking renewable energy!.... WHY CAN SLASHDOT ENTRIES BE FACTUALLY CORRECT? ITs not a "two-year freeze" its a freeze that's estimated to to take two years. You guys are evil-doing propagandists.
What do you mean "it doesn't work that way?" Those are satellite images. Or don't you believe in science?
As for a whore to the oil companies... HAHAHAHAHA you are insane. Maybe you should *use the scientific method* rather that regugitate profiteering propaganda. People like Al Gore made their money form oil (look it up) and now they are making money off of global warming. It's fucking religion. http://www.alabamawx.com/?p=7509
Its too late. Its meaningless. Its a waste of taxpayer money. Kucinich must be up for re-election or just wants his name in history. Even if its for being a dolt.
is all these exercise machines America uses is to plug in to the wall and transfer the energy we expend at the gym and home to be put to use rather than wasted in heat and friction.
Granted, all pirating sucks, its measurably better to at least pay for it once.
Pricing is always a balance of of what the market will bear versus the true value. In the case of movies, the market certainly can bear paying for it to some extent - and at least once. Also, by paying for it once you acknowledge the artists and craftsmen while thumbing your nose at the profiteers.
If you never pay for it at all you are just a common thief and deserve to lose a hand.
The whole point of the faxed signature was to get the ball rolling. A hardcopy of the signature used to follow and most large companies still practice this.
Youth, often not understanding events and practices preceding them do not practice the hardcopy follow up.... Iwas there when faxed signatures started becoming popular in the early 90s.

First of all, there wouldn't be commercial or distributed music without the music industry. What exists today is because they make the economic risk - and have made the economic risk for the last 80 years building the demand for music that exists today.
The people stealing the music without paying for it are the leeches.
And yes, the world needs middle men because they provide most of the jobs us occupy. (In case you don't understand, websites and software distributing music are middlemen too.) It wouldn't hurt you to take some business theory and history classes. You haven't a clue.
Since many of you are young you may not remember the days before internet at work or cell phones. Back then we were required to WORK when at work. It doesn't matter if its your computer or your phone, when you are are on the time clock or company hardware or services, it is for business only. Blogging is not necessary for managing a personal life. Save it for off hours and off site.
You guys whine and rant like infants about DRM and continue to steal and share music. What do you think the music industry is going to do? Give up jobs and profit? The worst part about this is that DRM protected music isnt locked to one device any different than a LP, CD or Cassette. I play FairPlay on 5 computers, several iPods and stream it. I even play it on CD players. Either you are ignorant or stupid.
What you really want to do is play the same copy concurrently on several devices. And you don't even realize it. Nor do you realize that that is piracy no matter how you slice it. Again, no different than LPs, CDs, and Cassettes.
Someday you will have to accept that you are not buying the music, you are buying the media it comes on. You never own the song. And you have always had limited usage rights.
Considering the amount of music we listen to via music sites like Yahoo, Pandora, Live365, etc this is actually a sophisticated move by Warner. They are finally catching up to the current technology uses of the listeners. Access to you whole music collection via any internet connection without piracy is innovation.

Isn't the Justice Dept a large entity that is restrictive of trade, itself?
Providers like AT&T charge both the sender and recipient... so that MP3 would be $48000.

Hey you guys, this is a theory, not a fact.
Salaries are a supply and demand issue. Its probably more likely that the wages at Yahoo and Google are over priced.
A lot of people - especially Blue Californians - think they deserve pay increases and benefits just for showing up.
But if you insist on comparing Apple to Google, just look at the companies over all values. They are not the same.
How can the Chinese sue over software their whole country pirates!?
I think the author is projecting their subjective values on the boss. There is nothing immoral about promoting one's business - even if it is spam.
There is nothing legally dubious about a properly formated spam-email.
Works better than Google.
The judge isn't on trial. Besides, we prefer to be judged by our peers. Whats a better peer than one who indulges in the same activities?
make a button that causes plans to fall out of the sky - which is what this amounts too. The technology is guaranted to fail in the worst way.
Nor should we give this kind of power to the government.They have proved not to be trust worthy either.
Its too late. Its meaningless. Its a waste of taxpayer money. Kucinich must be up for re-election or just wants his name in history. Even if its for being a dolt.
Ever wonder why hardtops have less break-ins than cloth tops? Making a car out of fabris is stupid as long as there is crime and chopping carts.

Anything with mass will follow the pull of gravitiy, but does anti-matter have mass in the same measue that matter does?
Also, what is "fall?" Hot air rises and cool air falls - but cool air is really the absence of hot air.
