I was at home, watching a (now clearly illegal) video of a plane crashing into the twin towers.
Yes, if someone can't take photos of airplanes at an airport, why should they be able to take videos of airplanes in the heart of New York City?
In addition, my dear anonymous coward,
If you don't like people opposing "the establishment", why don't you move to the People's republic of China or even North Korea. I hear everyone there LOVE their leaders, and would never dare say anything bad about them.
In a similar vein:
- Why are you thinking different thoughts than the mainstream? Hmm? Thoughtcrime is a crime too!
- Why are you opposing to our great leaders? They have our best interests in mind, you know. We should NEVER say anything bad about them, anyone who does is a terrorist and should be put to death.
I shall stop here, as I get sick in my mouth from people like you.
That guy, you see in that picture, is standing on public space, taking pictures of something that happens IN PUBLIC.
The moment we are going to call that illegal, is the day we will have to blind ourselves, and should sear our eyes shut.
Re: Its better than paying for advertising we dont want.
ITS NOT, its from being paid by advertisers, those advertisers are PAID BY YOU,
Which makes it even more insulting that Murdoch wants money from me twice. Once from advertisements and once from these so-called micropayments.
Paywalls and kachingle or flattr are two entirely different entities
Paywalls restrict you from viewing the content until you pay.
and with the other two, you pay after you've read the content.
See the difference?
but other ways of making money online is going the google route, or provide an extra service no-one else delivers for a fee.
If movie makers can sue these alleged copyright infringement on potential loss of sales, why can't I sue the movie makers for stealing money out of my pocket by making awful movies?
If I pay 10-15 bucks for a cinema ticket for a (at max) 3 hours, I expect to be entertained, if instead I get bored to tears with inane dialog or sub-par acting or bad story-telling, where do I go with my complaints?
The cinema? Hardly, it's not their fault the movie was crap, and they barely make any money anyway, besides the food from the concession stand (which is generally overpriced but still decent food, level quality, you know what to expect)
No, I want to be able to sue the movie maker for wasting my time and for costing me my hard-earned money.
But those lawsuits would get thrown out of court for their frivolity they are.
But movie studios, music labels and book publishers can sue people based on a POTENTIAL loss of income, with a list of numbers (IP-addresses are just that, numbers), which according to them infringed on their copyright. A law which was supposed to work to protect distributors from other distributors.
copy-and-pasting from Word does weird things to text.
Just use the standard editor (or if needs be Notepad) and the more regular " and ' quotes. And you'll be just fine.
It's amazing how people think that Wikileaks is a newspaper.
They merely distribute content that get leaked by whistle blowers.
And if the recent batch of leaks only show the bad side of the US government, then that's what's happening.
Who knows, next week, they'll report something damning on the German government. Or perhaps show the missing photos from Srebrenica from the time when the Dutch forces were there to keep the peace.
Re: Fox is the closest thing to Journalism left (WRONG! they only cover what you think is journalism)
It's sad that the education in the US has gotten so bad, that people think that proganda organizations like fox news, cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc, etc, actually report news.
They are sponsored outfits, that only cover stories that are convenient for the companies that own them, or buy ad-time on those networks.
Meanwhile in the rest of the world, most of us tend to listen to all sides before forming an opinion. And usually the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Could this be an attempt to harness the Streisand Effect? By screaming like a pig on how bad the internet is for their business, they get media attention, and maybe sell a few records/tickets?
Though, I don't think it's working.
It's causing a Reverse Streisand Effect. By complaining about this in such a ignorant fashion, she shows her age and frankly her irrelevance to todays culture.
I, for one, will not be buying a ticket for a Stevie Nicks concert.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:
Or Guilty, until proven innocent?
It's up to the plaintiff to prove the defendant's guilt (beyond a shadow of a doubt), not the defendants task to prove their innocence.
But admittedly, this is from my understand of the law of the land, and years of watching crime documentaries and dramatizations. IANAL and all that.
