Even with the 'Analog dollars to digital dimes' prediction, it only takes 10 dimes to match the dollar, and anything more than that is gravy since theres NO backend cost for the extra dimes...
Ill take a free dime over working for a dollar any day, since I can still work, but free dimes don't come often...
Or to plain live in the world... police have been lying forever, and won't stop... know why? Because they are PEOPLE like anyone else!! WOW! And because their office is so sacred to society, we should record them always so we know our trust is well placed and that they only lie to their wives, not to the court.
The only thing this argues against is the shift to cloud computing shoring up the US economy. PROTECT IP won't stop the cloud computing transition, it will just ensure that its not hosted on American soil giving American's jobs.
But if you want to avoid that, all you have to do is re-shrinkwrap the software and return it!
Its always seemed pretty unjustifiable to have terms on the inside of a product that you can't return once you've opened it. Either put them on the outside, or let the customer return it if they don't like the terms, at least SOMETHING.

To be honest, if we didn't run them out of town for having affairs or sending pictures of their Wiener to vegas blackjack dealers then they wouldn't need expensive discreet illicit sex. If they could just cheat like their constituents, maybe they would relate to them more...
Did you just make the claim that the Hollywood Reporter is staffed by 'actual journalists'? A future where private companies control our life expectancy is fairly realistic, but a hollywood trade magazine staffed by 'actual journalists'?? Thats unpossible!
There is absolutely a reason to pay the author of the book, so you can use the name in trade... you can't copyright ideas, but you can trademark brands and thats what matters to the movie industry

Define absolute security, if you mean 'cant be hacked without user intervention' which is usually the litmus test for security, then windows without an active browser is pretty damn secure. If you think otherwise then bring me evidence of windows being hacked without deliberate security holes being introduced.
This is draconian and evil. I'm a senior admin at a university and we provide free WiFi for our students across campus to connect with whatever device they want. We don't require anything but their central login ID to connect. I guess that's why were highly rated, because we're actually in the business of preparing our students for the future.
Or just use a private, encrypted tracker, but if you have an admin actually looking at traffic on a modern dpi firewall, just because they cant see what it is exactly, they can see 40 odd constant encrypted IP streams going to a single IP. My mom could then tell what that was...
No one gets in trouble at my campus. If our security team notices someone downloading something copyrighted on bit torrent, unencrypted, they will kill the connection, but thats for Bandwidth reasons, not anything else
