This means I'll be forced to read copied-and-pasted Canadian Press releases on one of the other several hundred news sites which "report" the same, word-for-word, story, but not with that nice G&M font!!
I meant, why would Redbox not just ignore them? People will, of course, see films they like, but it seems to me that a business such as Redbox (or Netflix in another case) is just cutting its overall margin for the sake of promoting an antagonistic supplier's material.
I would like to beat the holiday rush here and formally request that the tax department forget me.
I understand that failure to delete any information relating to me entitles me to 1%of the country's revenue; I'll accept gold as payment in order to prevent any further infractions that may occur via the issuance of a cheque.
If this ever does come into existence, just establish that the character is a former U.S. president - that way, war crimes / crimes against humanity simply don't apply.
The fix is quite simple, but will never be implemented.
Just provide each registered candidate with a campaign budget for the election (to come from the federal elections department, whatever the US version is called). No external funding permitted.
If candidates want to pool their money for a party campaign, fine, but no external funds.
Then, and this is the really hard part, make any bribery(offering, soliciting, accepting) a really SERIOUS criminal offence, on the order of a 10-year minimum prison sentence and all personal assets seized.
If Canada Border Services Agency (formerly Canada Customs) or the RCMP (formerly a respectable police force) wish to view the contents of my laptop and bypass the password to do so, will they be guilty of a criminal offense under this new act?
Will I be able to launch a civil suit for damages caused by this wanton act of DRM circumvention?
This has me thoroughly confused
How does the sculptor have copyright on a photograph? Is he also the photographer?
I really don't get this....
Oh no, not a paywall!!

Okay, then, AT&T...
If competition is bad, then let's just go ahead and shut you down.
The monopoly can go right back to Bell where it started.
Not an abuse of Authority
The U.S. government does not have the authority to prosecute companies (even within its own borders) for "looking bad".
This is an abuse of power, not authority.

"While bookstores close, Apple has been busy opening more than 300 stores."
I've yet to see a single book on sale in an Apple store. Am I missing something?
There's an old saying in I.T.
Give good clients what they need.
Give bad clients what they ask for.
Where do you run if you're already in Canada?
Is it safe to comment on this article, or should I expect to be disappeared in the wee hours?
Re: Re: Why make the effort?
My fault - I wasn't very clear.
I meant, why would Redbox not just ignore them? People will, of course, see films they like, but it seems to me that a business such as Redbox (or Netflix in another case) is just cutting its overall margin for the sake of promoting an antagonistic supplier's material.
Why make the effort?
Why not just ignore WB and let their new films sink into unviewed obscurity?
I love this idea!

How do you arrive at "No longer just for dictators of third world nations"?
Who else is making that statement?

Unfortuantely, that's normal.

Just wait until lawyers work out the details of retroactive infringement; then we'll see some real fireworks!

No more problem.
Individual countries were bad enough
Do we really need interference from government (or worse, collectives of governments)?
Let's just ignore them and go back to 1998 rules.
Politicians, keep yer mitts off my innernet!
Re: Re:
Exactly. More than 2 centuries of voting has resulted in what?
More corruption after each election until the current state of affairs was reached.
Why does anyone think that voting again will change this?
How about a password on a laptop?
