Re: Oh, shift from "compete with free" to "at a reasonable price"!
Yes, reasonable price does make a huge difference. A personel example. Warner Brothers will be releasing "Nichols", a short lived James Garner series from 1971 on their private store. I really would like to buy it, but at $49.95 for a 24 episode series … no thanks. This is a lost sale for them whether I pirate it, buy it on the second hand market, or do without. I sure I am far from the only person that will make this decision. It doesn't matter how you lose a sale a lost sale means no money in your pocket.
One more point if they were selling it thru Amazon (for example) the list price would probably be $29.95. So they are using their exclusive position to try and gouge their customers. That's their right to try, but don't blame piracy when you don't move the units you thought you would.
If they want to make sure they rein in the NSA then they need to add a provision that they can only use the dictionary's definition of a word, instead of their reinterpitation of the word's meaning. Oh yea they also better specify which dictionary and version of it to use. These clowns can slip through smaller cracks than mice can.
"The Pentagon also went on to tell ProPublica that revealing who we're actually at war with would do "serious damage to national security." The main reason? They think those groups would use the info as good publicity and allow them to recruit more."
If I was a recruiter for a terrorist organization I would use this as a recruiting tool. Hey look we're so badass the US is afraid to admit we exist.
Let's see, the government was (and is) changing the meaning of laws, words, and ignoring the parts of the Constitution that got in their way. Bradley Manning exposed these activities to help restore the rule of law in this country. And he's the anarchist?
I'm not sure, but I believe you're saying Wall Street has been subject to law enforcement. If that is the case may I suggest you watch the video below.
