Though their motivations may not be so philanthropic, at least consumer electronics corporations are on the side of the people like you and I. After all, they know that consumers will not purchase crippled, copy-protected products. Hopefully, this will result in a somewhat more balanced result when laws are passed. Call me cynical, but I feel that the Hollywood lobby's advantage is quite large and the laws will likely get passed.
that people who want to get rid of it can easily change their email address.
Changing your e-mail address is not as easy as one thinks. Sure, the change of address itself is not difficult, but notifying all the contacts that used the address can be.
Soemtimes, changing addresses to defeat spam is not worth the hassle, especially since spammers will get the new address anyway.
Just one difference. Rents for office space in Silicon Valley are through the roof. Albany might be a good choice for any company wishing to cut costs.
It's fucking annoying that geeks have to make up new words for things when the English language has already provided useful words like "boxes".
I'm sorry to see you got modded down, and I just used up my mod points from another account. I hope that some mod has that common sense to realize you're right and mod you up as Informative.

The man convicted in Ottawa says he plans to move to Australia once his sentence is finished.
He'll put on his Village People outfit and sing "It's fun to violate the D-M-C-A!".
Good luck. I hope he gets further than Sklyarov.

Having said that, I now invite the Slash janitorial team to massage my sweaty balls with their tongues.
My God, you are fucking unbelievable. Even after the removal of numerical karma ratings, you still post stupid links.
This isn't an "Ask Slashdot", why don't you let the lazy bastard go look up the reviews themselves.
Oh, and by the way, your website sucks, and the color scheme mad my eyes bleed. Thanks a lot, asshole!
M4d pr0pz!
Actually, I'd tell the Slash Janitors to suck my big ol' chronolith, but they'd actually jump on the opportunity.
This account needs terrible karma. Bad just isn't bad enough.
You got your -1. Time to Rock 'n' Troll
Then they should pay it, not me.
Fair-use is dead.

A member of the CLIT did get FP!
Yeah, WTF is this? I don't want stupid fucking words, I want the NUMBERS back.
Fucking whiny karma-whores ruined it!
For FP!
Eat it, biznitches!
This one's for all logged in trolls!
I agree with this post!
M4d pr0pz!

The CLIT is strong in this one!
How you get that past the lameness filter astounds me.
Mad pr0pz!
Be easy on the n00b. Allow him free entry into the CLIT, and also let him give pr0pz to TrollBridge by joining his friends list.
You're feeling lucky, alright!
Mad pr0pz!
Just join! It's blazingly easy. Use my sig or homepage.
Also, please list TrollBridge as your friend as well, giving him pr0pz for founding this little operation.

Everyone konws that the only operating system of choice for the serious consumer is Windows.
I recommend XP or my personal fave, Windows 2000.
