AC, please go away. You need to understand that economic losses are not as simple as you would like them to be. I am not even going to bother to try and get in to a explanation as to the difference between each but read below.
So simple thoughts for you. If someone is able to obtain money (aka value) that they have not earned through a process that creates no economic value, creates no economic activity, and removes value (money in this case) from a value producing entity than that can be counted as an economic loss.
I have a patent on this patent troll beating strategy
I don't know who this TED guy is but by posting the video on how to beat patent trolls from Drew Curtis he has infringed on my patent and he will be sued.
I own the patent on disseminating information in any form on defending yourself and your company against patent trolls. So I will also be suing TechDirt for disseminating the information and for furthering the dissemination of the information about the video.
Wow. HBO shows commercials? I haven't watched HBO in over a Decade because of an issue I had with them back then. Now knowing that I would have to pay a separate fee and still have to watch commercials means I am not going subscribe to them for sure.
The people that pay for content and follow the laws are the ones that are hurt in every DRM, piracy, and copy-protection scheme. The pirates just laugh find a way around it and continue what they have always done.
Why do you think the HDMI "standard" was pushed for and implemented?
The HDMI Founders are Hitachi, Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic/National/Quasar), Philips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson (RCA) and Toshiba. Digital Content Protection, LLC provides HDCP (which was developed by Intel) for HDMI. HDMI has the support of motion picture producers Fox, Universal, Warner Bros. and Disney, along with system operators DirecTV, EchoStar (Dish Network) and CableLabs.
No. You are and still will be always taken as a shill by the readers of TechDirt. Thanks for doing nothing. This is coming from a person that has a grand total of 17 posts on Facebook in the last 9 years and always prefers being anonymous to being public. But when it comes to important issues I freely comment with my privacy exposed.
If you comment on this blog a lot then why comment as an AC coward? AC comments are ALWAYS taken as shills. So your comments are nothing. Present yourself and engage in a debate.
Wow! I guess the government schools don't want free speech.
I wonder under what political ideology that is acceptable? Maybe Socialism, Fascism, and Communism. So I guess the USA is now one of those instead of being the Representative Republic that it was created as. So much for freedom of speech and personal liberty.
Re: That is because Capitalists like Bush only want control of your money
Before someone says that Obama is not a Fascist here is the definition:
fas·cism (fshzm)
a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Anybody want to argue after his statements about Obamacare going before the Supreme Court?
"I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress," Obama said.
I guess Obama forgot about the Jim Crow laws when he said that.
That is because Capitalists like Bush only want control of your money
Where Fascists like Obama want all control. Period. End of sentence. Fascists want to be the only people that are allowed to tell you what you should know.

Comment and contribute. Don't just criticize. This blog is about discussion. Even if it does not lean in your way.
