The AC-shills don't like that we've taken the term 'freetard' and turned it around on them. So now they're grasping to get a new term to insult people who are against the current copyright laws. And apparently they've settled on 'freehadist'.
Well, if I'm going to be called a freehadist, I'll be one with pride!
They generally have a much more nuanced and well-thought-out view compared to Protestant churches.
As a admittedly non-practising, but Dutch Protestant baptised person, I do take offense to this. Such slander has NO place in this discussion whatsoever, and it's a detraction to your whole argument painting a large segment of the Christian religion with such a wide brush.
I do agree with parts of your comment, but you'd do better by not insulting people from a different religion in a discussion where faith doesn't even come into play!
Copyright is pro-liberty?! It's use is to restrict peoplefrom doing something with a certain cultural product. How is that even a little bit of liberty?
Nice bit of double speak there, AC. White is black, war is peace, ignorance is bliss.
I find it fascinating that you, according to your rules, committed 'theft of intellectual property' by quoting part of the article. When are you going to pay Mike? I'm sure he'll be waiting at his mailbox for your cheque.
Why not also ask the newspaper delivery boys and girls to pay for their right to deliver the newspaper to the people.
After all they are providing people access to something that the newspaper people spent millions on to create.
Moronic Irish columnist is moronic.
If you provide access to your newspaper on your website, then don't be surprised when people use it to gain access to your newspaper on your website!
And whether these visitors come from search engines or -heaven forfend- other sites (Oh My Gosh, there are other sites out there?! They must pay us too!) or by directly entering your web-address into their browsers, it shouldn't matter.
You serve them ads, and allow people to click through to next stories so that they can be served more ads. You know, finding ways to monetize your own newspaper content. It's the content that drives the visitors, and it's the ads that make you money.
Better tell supermarkets about this when they put stuff on offer with lower-than-usual prices. Because now people will expect to always buy detergent for 2.5 bucks instead of 5!
The increasing amount of memory needed was raising the prices for the mice and keyboards? What kind of bullshit is that?! The price for memory is dropping rapidly. It shouldn't increase for them!. I mean, I can now get a decent microSD card of 32GB for roughly 20 euro, those things would have cost me closer to 50-60 euro just a year ago.
Yesterday on the radio I heard this statement from some 'expert':
"Well the criminals are already on your computer, can't hurt if you add the police in there as well."
I wish more people realized that 1984 and A Brave New World were both fictional novels and not handbooks to the future.
btw, the idea of Connecting with fans, that Mike has been promoting is neither new nor a major replacement. It's just another way of selling your wares. And he has said that it wasn't new since the very beginning, and it has proved its worth many times over in the past god knows how many years.
Can I accuse you of speeding without offering evidence?
Then how about I accuse you of murder without providing any evidence?
What's that? I can't?
Then how come people can get their internet cut off (a vital thing in this day and age) based on mere ACCUSATIONS? Has nothing to do with the law, now does it?
