Next the RIAA will be claiming that the public owes every RIAA exec a car wash on Saturdays.
"Sadly, a bit torrent search engine..." is no different from any other search engine, really. The only difference between google and a bit torrent search is that google is actually better at it. You don't really need a "bit torrent search engine" except you might get better tracking statistics. Stoop your trollin'.
"Howard the Duck"??? Wow, I'm surprised anyone remembers 'ol Howard. I had the entire run of comics marvel put out under my bed. Too bad the movie was so awful.
"...likely spark some enormous issues in the EU."
And?? Like anyone would care.
"I wonder if we can charge all of the justice officials responisble in the European Court of Human Rights?"
That made me chuckle. To what end?
Note to self; never buy Nike again. Ever.
Now, in other moral lessons, another reason not to buy shoes over the internet. Not a good one, but still, add it to the list. I don't buy clothing, watches, or expensive sunglasses over the interweebs. There's just no reason to. The only stuff I order on the net is stuff I can't get here in town. Buying name labels over the net is just asking for trouble. Asian art? Sure, I do that. I can't get it here, so I go to a few web sites I've done business with before.
A pair of levis from China? You're looking to get robbed.
I told all my liberal friends (I'm a committed centrist and libertarian) who were so happy when Obama got elected; "I'm not sure what you're so happy about, you're not going to get a gov. that's fundamentally different from the one we've had since the 70's." And they all laughed in my face and said crap like he was the 2nd coming and its a new age and the hated Bush regime is smashed and crap like that. What they failed to understand is that the Fed. is a machine, pretty much on auto-pilot, doing what it does, which is spend our money and erecting huge, useless copies of itself every where it can. Obama's not going to make any difference, and I was right.
Even with a conviction we're not supposed to be torturing people, or so I thought...
...appears to be a clown car driven by a clown, filled with other clowns. I mean, over the last few years how could anyone come to any other conclusion?
You ain't the only one. (And I live in California.)
So the Air Force's blocking of Wikileaks from all ITS gateways is really great security? Sounds me like their spitting in wind, and gaining ZERO security. I suspect that what you indeed say is true; a group of "keyboard commandos" do in fact have better ideas about IT security.
"Don't forget that Iceland has the highest literacy rate of any country in the world."
Ok, well, I hope they don't ask me to spell any big words.
I would if they'd have me. I hate California.
I'm just glad I was able to see the word "fractal boob" on the screen.
In this age of 3d printers I wonder if we'll start seeing DMCA take-downs for sites sharing form files that describe how to print copies of things to those printers.
No, people in the US aren't "that stupid", its obvious to Americans when they travel that some things are cheaper; the DVDs you mentioned are pirated, I get the price there. The watches were not. The price difference is set BY THE MANUFACTURER. Try again.
That's what I'm talking about. I'm lost on this one.

Really? Mass murder is funny to you?
