So are banks, and still they don't get a free pass to do anything they want, like witholding your funds because you used them to do something they don't approve like buying Speedos.
Re: Re: Re: Re: The trolls have found this weakness, and exploited it
I see, so as a "software engineer" you think people have to think arbitrarily different ways to achieve the same thing, even if they had no way to view how others are doing it, because if it's been done one it must be patented and thus stealing.
Wow, you just infringed on two existing ways to make a loop! Bad programmer, bad! You have to come up with your own completely unique way!

It comes out as rather whiny considering it is but a drop in the sea of complete injustice of what is happening to this guy right now. So spare us the tears and say something relevant to the problem, instead of "it's not our fault!"
Re: Re: The trolls have found this weakness, and exploited it
So you're not a programmer AC? It seems that you are trying to come across as someone who doesn't know crap about programming. If you write software that does the same thing as other software you can pretty much bet that if it is a different piece of software it can't be covered by anything at all unless you spend a lot of money bribing total technology ignoramuses in government.
Holy shit man, you just proved with your post that you have no business talking about programming or software. Good job joining the club of the ignorant. I'm sure the other idiots will lend you their cigars.
I find it rather hypocritical of you, Anonymous Coward, to be calling the government to interfere with internet blogs such as this, to make them stop showing articles like this one. For shame.
The government shouldn't ban this article, and you shouldn't be asking them to do it.
Actually I read all of the Mars books available on Project Gutenberg. They describe everyone as not wearing any clothes and just using metal bling bling as a sign of status (this was because apparently Mars weather was just perfectly temperate all year long except at night, when they slept in furs). Even one of the books tells that the martians could see Terrans via their uber martian radium explodium unobtanium telescopes and wondered why humans were so stupid to cover their bodies all the time.
This just points to me how stupid people can be when they have no concept of seasons and illnesses.
Blah blah if someone making a copy that should have been of a copy of something that might have been paid to me if it had been good and someone actually wanted is not stealing, then pickpocketing isn't stealing either!
