  on Why The Networks Are Really Afraid Of Aereo: Time Warner Cable Says It Might Offer Aereo-Like Service
  Wow, I didn't think cable television would die so soon.
  
  (aereo will clearly win, as they literally aren't breaking any set-in-stone laws)

  "If you don't understand English, you don't belong at the University of Illinois or any 'American' University,"
  
  I kinda agree with that, but I'm 100% OK with said person as long as said person is at the very least making effort in learning the language.

  Some publishers force the use of DRM I believe.

  on Andy Baio On The New Prohibition Created By Copyright
  At the very least, the rules for fair use should be much better explained. There should be no reason to spend thousands just to find out if what you are doing is actually fair use.

  on Authors Guild's Scott Turow: The Supreme Court, Google, Ebooks, Libraries & Amazon Are All Destroying Authors
  I learned about letters of marque from Bodacious space pirates anime. Great show.
  
  (it's safe, no NSFW stuff, I think there was one female with tight suit at one point of the anime though)

  on Prince Sends A Takedown Over Six Second Vine Clips
  I can't imagine it being possible to infringe on Vine. Fair Use should apply to everything no matter what on there.

  applicable laws

  on ReDigi Loses: You Can't Resell Your MP3s (Unless You Sell Your Whole Hard Drive)
  Any bets on something in the copyright laws saying if first sale doesn't apply to it, copyright doesn't apply to it?...such a confusing web of laws.

  on Spanish Government Bows Down To US Pressures Again, Pushes SOPA-Like Law To Appease Hollywood
  There is no guaranteed proof that "pirating" does any damage at all. There's no solid data to support these laws.

  It would be nice if a new law didn't make most of the users of new technologies into instant-felons.

  on The Killing Of Google Reader Highlights The Risk Of Relying On A Single Provider
  Here's what my Google Reader looked like- http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/Forest_GS/stylishpreviewgreengoogleRSS.jpg
  
  Here's what my just-started Netvibes reader looks like- http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc140/Forest_GS/netvibes_zps5a9755bc.jpg
  
  They look pretty similar to me, anyways.
  
  The default is set to "show all", but it does "mark as read" while you scroll. To change it to "show New only" you need to click the "Change Display" button on the top-right. (hover the mouse over the button to see what the button is called)
  
  Acts exactly like Google Reader for me now.

  dependability meets deplorability

  on The Killing Of Google Reader Highlights The Risk Of Relying On A Single Provider
  Thank you for posting about this. This development really put into question the dependability of ALL of google's services for me.

  on Project Launched To Fix The Anti-Circumvention Clause Of The DMCA
  Breaking a digital lock just to enjoy a form of entertainment on a different device should never be illegal.

  on Google Downranks The Pirate Bay In The UK, Because Surely, That Will Make People Buy Again
  "doing a search explicitly for "pirate bay," not finding the actual site as a top result"
  
  Something like that would just make me use a different search engine, one that actually gives me the searches I want.

  We wouldn't need to worry about it as much IF copyright terms were reasonable in the first place.

  Library

  on The Pirate Bay's 'Lawsuit' Against Anti-Piracy Group More About Exposing Double Standards In Enforcement
  TPB is no more dangerous, and very similar to a library. That's also one of the main reasons libraries are damaged by the rules minimalists want.

  Technically, you can use it on juice and koolaid to give it that soda fizz.
