But there's plenty of artists out there that have lost my support, interest and custom. Tweeting is one way to do that, pumping out mediocre crud products is an even better one.
Mind you, there's companies who's products I start buying because they think cruelty to animals makes a fine TV commercial
The current crisis was partly caused by influences out of Europe but also by banks here. Some banks have had presidents who've made messes big enough to warrant an action like this.
I kinda like this, hope this will be followed elsewhere. There's a lot of "burn him" sentiment all over, can't say I really blame people.
Just try to watch any country music video from Europe. Legally that's pretty near impossible because CMT/MTV doesn't think you should and they constantly police youtube.
Over here a provider tried to block certain traffic streams like ping. Public outrage ensued and the block was quickly lifted.
Next thing you noticed is that the prices for mobile data were increasing. These days 1 gig for 10 euros is considered a pretty good deal. Also people are finding that on existing contracts unlimited traffic is not unlimited anymore. Speeds are squeezed way down after the limit of 1Gb is reached in a month.
All this contrasts quite nicely with an application landscape that pushes always online at every opportunity.
So... your copyright laws got fucked up even further? But there's now a good chance of sending Justin Bieber to jail? Well, that's a small consolation I suppose.
Perhaps this will root out this practice. I remember the trailer for "best defense" and then actually seeing it... another fine example of a trailer consisting of the only good bits of the entire film.
I say go ahead with tihs, just because it's normal practice in the industry doesn't mean it's not misleading.
I've seen high heeled shoes with red soles in the last century already. In fact I can remember a little shoestore in Vienna that had quite a collection
Good to see at least one judge in the US of A has some common sense when it comes to these things
There's way too many films these days where I'd expect to get paid $30 to sit 'm out. I can't recall 3 films made in the last 5 years where I'd even gone to the theatre for. Not that going to a movie theatre is that much fun. Sound tracks are all about how many subsonic rumbles you can get away with as a director. Volume is just short of real pain level. Seats are uncomfortable, the floor sticks and "one does not meet a better class of people"

Outsourced to Elbonia? (as JeroenW)

This.. well.. it seems to be mainly a North-American addiction. Fat + Calories + large portion = good food to a lot of them.
Netherlands?

Well, that confirms a stereotype. (as JeroenW)
The cookie dough story.. who would be so silly as to buy pre-made cookie dough in the first place?

At last, something positive about this insane law (as JeroenW)
What about fat people? (as JeroenW)
How about obese people? By now there's more of those in most western countries than there are smokers.
oversoaked fish only happens once (as JeroenW)

Either way, it's good enough for a good chuckle. Yet one more step away from freedom for the land of the free... Love the irony of it.
makes sense to me (as JeroenW)
