We're not stopping anyone from making any speech. We're merely arresting them and incarcerating them. They're perfectly free to talk about anything they want while they're incarcerated.
"The university did nothing to silence her speech, but merely said that if she wanted to say those things, she couldn't do it while a student in their school"
Yeah. And the ICE does nothing to detain Appelbaum, it's Appelbaum's decision to fly which causes his continual delays.
If they nurse wants to blog. She should stay home. If Appelbaum wants to be free from detainment, he should stay home. Problem solved.
Unfortunately he probably doesn't even care about this issue. He's just vying for a bigger checks from the RIAA and the MPAA. Once he gets them, he'll fall back into line.
I'm the guy who gave the link to Mike. I have my doubts about it, but the original link is from April 3rd, so it's (probably) not an April Fool's joke.
From Wikipedia: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin (aka Outlaws of the Marsh), Journey to the West, and Dream of the Red Chamber (aka The Story of the Stone).
Remember in the old days when nearly everyone accessed the internet via Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser? Back then, plenty idiots thought that IE was in fact the internet. Or at they very least, they'd equate it with the internet.
The same is now true of Google. Because people use Google to access sites, because they're too clueless to enter urls or save bookmarks, they think they're actually accessing materials on Google.
To the old idiots out there: Google is like the yellow pages. It just points you were to go and it's not responsible for anything you do when you get there.
President Obama has been the most aggressive president ever in terms of attacking any whistleblowers.
I don't know why anyone is shocked about this. Obama received his political experience and training in and around Chicago. Did the people who voted for him seriously believe that Obama was the one Chicagoan politician with integrity and honesty?
Mike, I'm surprised you didn't mention the upcoming copyright termination rights lawsuits the labels will undoubtedly face in 2013.
As far as I'm concerned, the current labels are toast. They'll lose a ton of legacy music in 2013 when older artists get their copyrights back. Plus they'll have to pay a ton more money on digital "sales" for legacy artists.
If I owned any stock in a music label I'd sell as quickly as I could. Or use it to wipe my ass, because it's probably worth less than toilet paper.

That's easy. The press is a part of the copyright industry. Politicians make a ton of reelection money from the copyright industry.
Any other easy questions?
