“We want to promote non-discrimination, non-violence, and peace among people... ”
By unleashing an army of relentless lawyers to harrass and shutdown anyone who dares to challenge the IP hegemony that we bought from your politicians.
I'm reminded of the transition from CD albums to single song purchase on itunes. Many artists freaked out and went full denial because it showed them the real "value" of their entire discography and not the Walmart inflated dream. The truth was painful. Speaking of dreams: "... this unbelievably passionate base of Disney consumers..."
This is a passenger directing tool. You don't need crypto level secure PRNG. Your browser's Math.random() will do just fine and no one will notice. Even if you wanted more randomness existing implementation of other PRNG would do just fine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister)
I'm surprised the weapon manufacturers havent used the ISDS yet to sue the hell out of the government for passing countless weapon bans and yearly -1 bullet per mag laws. Would they suddenly reopen it to make an exception like the tobacco industry ?
It feels like the first succesful attempt at using the ISDS will trigger any and all industry to sue the government for every single law passed....
Just as credit cards abstracted the concept of money to the people, labels and big distributors(Walmart) abstracted the concept of customers, offer and demand to the artists. That is how Brooks can somehow hold the unbeliveable idea that:
Step 1: Limit the availability of my music Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit for writers, labels, publishers and artists!
In other news, police departments are now turning to the NAVY, not subject to the banned list of items to buy tomahawk missles and decomissioned battleships in order to provide much needed strategic level protection for LEOs.
Regardless of the answer, This is a failiure to recognize the symbiotic relationship between web sites and search engines. Traffic is not something that is "due" to web sites out of the blue. You have to work for it. Search engines are but one tool in this regard.
If today's judges are amusing themselves in their rulings with strong cultural references of their time, which i find awesome, how long until we see rulings incorporating "lol", "roflcopter","umadbro?!" and much more from the internet and video game culture ?
I wonder if judges in Japan make anime references in their rulings... :P
Talk about a bad deal. I would have exchanged the tax cut for unlimited and perpetual licenses of Office, Server and SQL Server for the whole state of Washington.
Natural selection in the capitalist sphere seems to have hit the overdrive recently. Artists, Shops, large corporations (news and entertainment), etc. are hellbent on removing themselves overnight from the gene pool of anything that will be relevent to the next society. All in the name of weak conjectures. We should hand them Darwin Awards.
That shop owner just made sure it will not get any new customers(genes) and most likely annoy the loyal ones enough back to the supermarkets. Forever. I wonder how the owner plans to measure the cost/benefit of that or is he just going to roll with empty conjectures.
If not granting a patent is expropriation then i should be able to report 50 millions in capital losses on my tax form for not winning the lottery this year. Those were my expected future profits !
Oh really?

He should be replaced by a magic 8 ball. It would be much cheaper for the same quality of decision making.
Chicken and egg problem

What if google charged for being listed at all ?
Driving up the costs!
Legitimate reasons to terrorize..
I cant keep a straight face anymore at the first "terrorize!"
Let it be
Would PSY have busted the view record if the video was behind a paywall ?

Horrible deal
