Yes, I totally agree, but then why is this guy still being told he has to pay even if he doesn't play any collection agency registered music ? It's pure extortion.
A good analogy is if you own a car that is capable of going over the speed limit, you should pay $60 a week just in case you might break the speed limit. After all, your car is capable of it and you're probably a dirty lying bastard if you say you don't speed!
No, you're wrong, there is enough evidence to point you in the right direction for further investigation. You should check deeper to find the right person to sue.
I would probably support a subpoena to have the account holder questioned under oath and/or have their computer system examined by a neutral third party.
But, at the end of the day, the sueing entity, should really look at their business models before starting a course of sueing their customers.
You might want to check your facts, as the links are to freeware - no piracy involved, unless you happen to have such a large sense of privelege that you believe all competing works are illegal!
It only seems like good trolling, as he's using emotionally loaded sentences to get a response, doesn't have much else to say except to spout his opinion. Must be a wanabee politician!
Of course, completely forgetting (or not bothering to do the research) that other touch screen smartphones existed before the iPhone. e.g. the LG Prada.
Nice try, would you like to point out where these posts are debunked ? Over the last couple of years, I've yet to see it myself, as pretty much every post that tries to rebutt Mike seems to be opinions with no hard evidence or even citations of reports.
You say that, but... Here in the UK, a couple of guys have been jailed for 4 years for 'incitement to riot' - they tried to get people to join in the riots on Facebook, but never actually managed to get the riot going !
This is so stupid, kids do have minds of their own you know. I think our politicians would do a lot better if they remembered what they were like as children.
If I was gonna get into mischeif when a kid, I did it, and my parents were very strict, you just had to accept the punishment if you got caught.
No matter how good the parents, some kids are gonna get into trouble, so taking away their housing ain't gonna solve anything except create more homelessness and more street crime.

Fucked Up Data. This is generally used by programmers to mean the results of something are skewed due to faulty data. Pretty much the same as GIGO.

No, it just means you're probably a prick.

Yes, that maybe, but nowhere do you mention that you have to PAY the CDS companies.

Let's not forget that torrent files contain no infringing content. They are just links to where bits of the required data is held.

'but the idea of controlling vehicle stability using software would be.'
I hope you meant to add 'in a specific way, using this particular algorithm'. As I could think of multiple ways of doping this in code.
