  Yah, that is pretty lame.

  Late but important point - Six Strikes

  I know I am getting to this thread pretty late, but I wanted to point out all that the judge said about their 'evidence'. Does it bother anyone else that the evidence the judge pretty much tossed out is most likely the same level of evidence that ISPs in the US want to start using to punish their users at the behest of corrupt copyright organizations?

  Look at your ad, now back to mine. Now back at your ad, now back to mine. Sadly it isn?t mine, but if you stopped focusing on yourself and started advertising wisely it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You?re watching my ad, thinking of the ad your ad could look like. What did you think of? Back at mine, it?s an ad that people actually like. Look again the ad is now viewed over 44 million times. Anything is possible when you think before you create an ad.

  Re: Better Game

  Having just suggested the game, I decided to look up more info about it. Turns out the game is put out by Ubisoft and has a 3 system activation limit (although you can call them for more, like that somehow makes it better).
  
  I guess if somebody is going for the lesser of two evils, go with Anno 2070 and its a way better game (says my friend). Personally I will for sure not be getting into either of them.

  Better Game

  Have a friend who is pretty into these games. He played the beta some.
  
  If anyone is looking for a game that is leaps and bounds beyond the Sim City series, give Anno 2070 a try. He says if I get back into them, this is by far the best, and blows Sim City out of the water without trying.

  Lucky for him he wasn't caught with a pirated MP3 on his laptop. They would be pushing for life in prison + 70 years more.
  
  At least at that point they wouldn't have to worry about feeding him.

  Funny Accounting

  They should sell songs for one US penny and high def movies for a dollar.
  Using a little bit of hollywood accounting they would have made back only their 21 million, while sticking it to the MAFIAA wonderfully hard at the same time.

  Well, they got their names in the papers alright. And I hope it is for every single reason they hoped it wouldn't be. So far it seems to be going that way.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Preach it

  I don't know why really. I just do.
  If I see a sweet trailer about a movie I haven't heard of, then I go back to the interwebs and try to find out more about the movie to see if I may perhaps like it.

  Re: Re: Preach it

  I used to and still do like movie previews. I may rarely go to the theatres anymore but I do like them. What I do not like are product advertisements. I went to the movies. If I wanted product advertisements I would wait for the movie to come to over the air TV.

  Not Quite, Issa

  I?m not condoning his hacking
  
  Well that is okay since he didn't hack anything. At least not with the case the DoJ picked up here anyways.
  
  a technique that I think can sometimes be inappropriately used
  
  That strikes me as a technique that should never be used, and would only be used by those who do not really value justice. They more so value the idea of 'winning'.
  
  If a prosecutor really valued justice, they would only charge people with crimes they actually commit, and not just try to throw the book at somebody because they didn't like them or disagreed with something they did.

  Re: Re: Face it-- file sharers are bad customers

  It is legal in quite a few others for medical purposes. Michigan is one of those which allows legal medical licenses to purchase or even grow small amounts.

  Re: Re: Public Image

  Good signs that the laws need to be massively revamped. Actions like extortion and mafiaa style threats should not be tolerated.

  Public Image

  This is rather interesting. Just recently in the slashdot article about iiNet over in Australia walking away from the copyright groups, people were wishing we had our own iiNet's all over the world. A bunch of those tech savvy users on slashdot pointed out that TekSavvy was a good one to be with for Canada. If they are looking to destroy the good image they have with the techies, this would easily do it in a single move (or failure to move as it is). And the thing is, those who were praising TekSavvy are the exact ones who would notice this if TekSavvy doesn't stand up. With the precedent already set in Canada, it can't really be that costly to fight the initial request, can it?

  If I am levied ...

  I would consider it a free license to download as much as I want from anywhere I want. After all, if I have to pay for it, then I sure as heck am going to get it.

  Midwasteland Support

  Awhile back, Tim sent me a copy of Midwasteland and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Soon as school ends here I will be buying a copy of the other two books (or just all three) to show some support. For anyone interested, I would definitely suggest buying Midwasteland. It is well written and a great story that keeps one intrigued. By the time I was 2/3 through I really didn't want to put it down to break.
  
  I look forward to reading the other works of Mr. Geigner.
