When said corporations continue to censor free speech in an attempt to make more money, while LYING about the money they make and suing everyone who innovates, yeah, I say we do fuck them.
They aren't worth crap.
Those corporations do NOT bring us stuff. They bring in creators who bring us stuff.
I would MUCH rather give my money to the creator of a movie than a corporation.
Lemme break it down for you in ways you MIGHT be able to understand.
The 3DS has only been out for 2 years now, and you don't need 3-D glasses to view it.
The first 3-D effects of less than 25 years ago required the use of blue and red glasses to get the effect.
The NES came out in the 1980s, by 1990, the SNES and Genesis both had enough graphic power to rival arcades, which, until that point, were superior in every manor to all forms of gaming.
The Dish Hopper just came out, it allows you to record any program you wish to watch and skip the commercials.
Go back just 13 years and you had to use a VCR or a DVD player to record a program, and often times, you couldn't do it very well because of the flashing clock.
Gaming on the phone? Remember when the most you could do was play Reversi or Snake?
Now? Hey, Angry Birds! Final Fantasy 1!
Remember this, in less than 10 years the Blackberry went from over 200 dollars and only used by Sprint or AT&T to less than 30 and is now being used by Tracfone while other smart phones are being used by Straight Talk.
You can get a decent computer these days for less than 200 bucks.
Try back in the 1990s, you wanted even a half-decent computer? It ran over 600 dollars and even phones today out-perform those computers by leaps and bounds.
A gigabyte, back in the 90s, was unheard of for storage size.
Now-a-days we have TERABYTE hard-drives.
Do you not understand yet?
What isn't possible now WILL be possible soon.
Remember this line, it applies to how things are going.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
"Enough arrogant little brats like that can destroy civilization!"
We tend to call these people revolutionaries.
French Revolution was made up of NOTHING but "arrogant little brats" who wished to destroy their civilization because it wasn't helpful to the "little brats" at all.
I suppose that's what you're advocating, hmm? *Grin*
If you scroll through the snippet of the court up there, it looks like Court and Lutz, that is, a combination of Lionel Huntz's first and last names from the Simpsons.
Re: Re: We do this all of the time-- it's called public policy
I can't wait until replicators are made. How fast do you wanna bet that people will scream that they should be made illegal since they can make everything from food, to medicine, to clothes and more with just a button press?
I have no problems with guns. Guns sit there and look pretty...
Idiots, on the other hand, I have a problem with.
It's those idiots that make the rest of us look bad.
And sadly, idiots are very, very loud.
And messy.
And sadly, some idiots got into power and took away money from mental hospitals where all the crazy idiots were at, now they're on the streets again and causing troubles.
"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase is meant to exemplify the "unalienable rights" with which all human beings are endowed for the protection of which they institute governments.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" - Thomas Jefferson

No, they can't.
tens of thousands just goes to show how screwed up the system is.
Need I remind you about Orphan Works?
DMCA takedown notices on Obama and Romney singing during the past election... Or Obama and McCain singing in the election before that?
Or maybe I should remind you about DMCA takedown notices on their own content?
Fact is, those tens of thousands that you prop up?
That's automated stuff.
And Google and other companies HAVE to take the stuff down under safe harbor laws.
So, no, IP holders can't figure it out right now.
Maybe you should take the blinders off for a moment and realize what's happening.
djazz1, Kim Dotcom, Richard O'Dwyer, Aaron Swartz, the Japanese arresting 27 people over this stuff, etc.
That's all I could think of off the top of my head.
Those are people (and websites) who, like 'em or not, are getting (or have gotten in the case of Swartz) screwed over because of copyright.
Yes, we should give the creators of stuff money. I don't disagree with that.
But why should the distributors have access to the same copyrights that the creators do?

Received a DMCA takedown notice by the group that's supposed to do the independent reviews for the new 6 strikes program...
Again, to those of you who think that the 6 strikes program is a good thing...
