  • On the post: Pro-Stronger Copyright Propaganda Shows Up In Canadian Press

    Waiting to hear from the shills and Mike haters,

    read Mikes (well written), read the article (wow more of a professional shill or spindoctor).

    I think it would be great if our Friends to the North showed the Americans real Democracy in action and threw out their copyright or loosened it up so the industry explodes, i can see the number of labels opening over night and the shills screaming "THEY SUPPORT THE PIRATES" and wanting a war... it would be the best entertainment ever, along with proving the Free Capitalist Correct, plus think of the money to be made bringing thier "blackmarket" products here... oh the fun we could have..

    Thank you for proving you don't get it

    the coporate shield only protects the owners/shareholders from on a money side, if they killed some one, the person resposible still goes to jail and if its proved they where told to do x by higher up they go too...

  • On the post: Senate Judiciary Committee Approves RIAA Bailout Radio Tax

    CastorTroy-Libertarian ( profile ), 16 Oct, 2009 @ 08:25am

    I smell bribes

    Think about this RIAA, who has lobbyist pushing really hard for this stuipd anti-consumer, line our pockets and screw everyone legistlation, just got a windfall from the "chosen" officials (i say chosen because the elections and money tell the tale). Now the RIAA will have more money to send to their favorite Politicals to get more Taxes (and yes its a Tax, if you dont pay the Government, not the RIAA show up with guns to get the money or shut you down) and thus feed more lobbyist and money into the same Politcal hands... the beasts just feed themselves with the police backing and we ultimately get screwed (Radio gets more expensive for adds, and it causes products that advertise have to pass on that tax, so products become more expensive)

    Freedom is dead in these hands, we have to ignore the media and vote the true statesman into office. Not the empty suits on both sides that just take and take to fill themselves and the lobbyist.

    Re:

    I am an Engineer as well (i am also a business person), and i see crowd sourcing as great.

    But lets use your example. A bridge. If i posted a contest to this evil thing called the internet, and said hey submit your designs for a brige it will cross river y (I say y not). The winner picked out will recieve $5,000.00, I can say a few things, 1) i will have more submissions quicker than any RFQ i could put out. 2) any design taken into consideration to build would have to be looked at and evaulated by my engineeriers. 3) it will cost me less for the intial design and the 4) these unwashed masses that do their designs will look at it in different ways than any of us "engineers" have ever looked at making that particular bidge before. Just like anything you will have a bell curve of crap to great and everything in between, but it can and will work when the day is out.

    Why because i used the amatuers and the experts to make something different and better.

    I believe there is room for both, and i believe the amatuer will come up with more imagination than any expert ever would simply from not knowing it cant be done. From that enthusiasums comes the greats ideas, not the expert that thinks it cant be done.

  • On the post: Mod Chips Found Legal In The UK

    CastorTroy-Libertarian ( profile ), 12 Jun, 2008 @ 09:13am

    A Thought

    Ok, so modding is quasi-legal illegal depending on the courts and the companys and everyother political hack with a brain cell... clear enough (sarcasm). But my thought is that if I where to sit down and build a console that was region free and mod-friendly, basically a do what ya want but if you screw it up, we ain't fixing it kinda console you could pretty much own the market. The bad side would be sony and Commusoft (Microshaft?) would pound you to pudding and the big game markets would not put games out for you. The other thing would be you would have to sell (*gasp*) the system at a profit... kinda a tangent from the article but hey its a thought...
