Which just shows the lack of logic thinking, and the plethora of fantasy land thinking, you are employing.
Congratulations on never being in a dive with a bad chair. I commend you for that. However, it does happen. As for uneven flooring, common sense would dictate that anything that causes difficult walking for a normal, healthy person would be reported.
I agree that parents should be responsible for their children, and the safety and welfare thereof, yet businesses still need to be responsible for the safe environment they are required to maintain. There's no reason to keep cheese sauce scalding hot. Even the stuff you make at home doesn't congeal until it's well below a 'safe' temperature.
If we agreed that there was any substance or reality to your posts, maybe we'd argue them on the points. That we don't is telling enough, isn't it? Your opinion isn't better than anyone else's unless you can prove your points. Which you haven't.
Yeah. So he makes more in ONE SHOW than I make in 5 years, and that's chump change. You guys are total dicks, you know that? Median income in the US is $48k, and he might have made at least twice that in one night. Priority mismatch.
I can point to a drug where this doesn't hold true. Phoslo. A phosphorous binder use primarily by dialysis patients. This was taken off the market to be replaced by Renvela, a much more expensive version of the drug.
At this point, it's cheaper to take Tums with the meals instead of the prescription medication. Same active ingredient.
Patents become irrelevant in less than 10 years.
Copyright lasts 95 YEARS, longer than the average life span in any country, even though in many cases the material will become lost and forgotten in less than 30.
Tell me again how we need to expand IP laws? Why do they need to be even more draconian? We already see that they aren't being respected. Making the punishments more severe won't help. Increased enforcement will only piss people off.
And you're saying the judge should hold no responsibility for what they sign. Which makes you look the tool. Judges have a lot of power, and there's a lot of responsibility that comes with that. We need to expect them to read and understand what they are signing, not just blindly put pen to paper, so yes. The judge /is/ to blame.
Funny, no one said it gave you the right to pirate, they are just saying that is normally the end result. The labels are waving the music in peoples' faces, then using artificial barriers to keep them from buying it. Then they are surprised when people jump the barriers, and people like you come around to wave 'it's the law!' flags around and support them. STOP SUPPORTING THEM! They're big heads already don't fit through the damn door!
Oh, I see what you did there! Since he didn't EXPLICITLY say he was against it, he MUST be for it! You must be a real joy to debate against. This is the same as putting the words right in his mouth. Trying to set up an argument that can't be disputed, because if it weren't true he'd just say so.
Let me put it another way. 'If you really DID think it was OK, you would say so. But you don't. You're too busy pointing at the facts, and assigning no real blame except where the information presented follows. '
Haven't read a whole lot of the back catalogue here, have you? Mike is very clearly on record saying that he does not believe piracy is a good thing.
Why do people seem to have an issue with this? Piracy is like drinking (bad metaphor time). You can legislate it away all you like, won't stop people from doing it. Then you've got the morons who want to make the law stricter. You know, the law that is already not being followed? That doesn't work, either.
Then you come along and start telling Mike he's advocating piracy by trying to help people to deal with its existence. Sorry, but the 'fight' is the sham. It will go nowhere.
You have a single (purported) case, then. Which is not indicative of everyone else. Examples: Of my friends who do NOT purchase music, all of them download stuff put up specifically to be downloaded for free. Why bother to pirate the corp crap being spewed by the labels when you can get better, legally, for free?
