Was thinking much the same thing. By their reasoning post offices should all be pre-emptively shut down for their flagrant disrespect for copyright laws.
Hey, copyright maximalists. You know how you love the word theft, or stealing, even though they are completely inappropriate? This is a case where it IS theft, plain and simple.Taking money from a customer and then refusing to hand over the product is stealing, and should be punished as such.
At the risk of being ridiculed, wtf is a voting machine exactly? Is it like that touch screen in the video? Only ask because here we still use good old pen & paper, then count the votes afterwards.Don't seem to have had too many problems, that I recall, after working a few elections.
Ignoring the whole copying is not stealing bit for a moment...by his reasoning every map maker ever should be sued for enabling people to find stores/countries to steal (from). Oh wait, Google do make maps. Obviously it's just part of their nefarious plot to steal everything from everyone.

Hey, US DOJ: gtfo of my country, fer fooks sake. Seriously, sod off. But honestly, how desperate are they getting now? It was funny, now it's sad and starting to get disturbing, this huge boner they seem to have for Kim et al.
How do you Americans handle having them around every single day?
Which just goes to show, focussing on your self-righteousness gets you exactly nowhere. I hate weed. I also hate tobacco & alcohol though, and out of the three I know which tends to cause the most damage and it ain't the illegal one. Far as I'm concerned, as long as the smoke isn't getting blown in my face, people can do whatever the hell they want. Dunno why some people get their knickers in such a twist.
