  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: This is sick...

  Justice is good, but justice is cold, emotionless (at least it should be). The second I saw 246 comments I knew there was too much emotion for justice to be determined.
  
  Hell, Tim was far too emotional when writing the article. So emotional that he corrupted the integrity of Techdirt. Remember that article about the girl who killed herself due to online harassment by an adult? Techdirt argued (correctly) that the adult should not be punished more harshly due to the girl killing herself.
  
  Now there's so much emotion that most of the story is missed. This is why emotion should not play into justice. Emotion leads to mistakes and corruption.
  
  Dude committed statuary rape (can't get around that). That is the only thing he should be charged with, not the death of the child, especially since the death seems to be unrelated to the situation.
  
  Don't mistake emotion for justice.

  Words

  Language is only the transfer of thoughts from one person to another. Words cannot exist without thought, but thought does exist without words. As long as the thought is transferred, the words used are irrelevant.

  Re: Re: All is easier when you have access to certificate authorities.

  "and not even the usual ranting and ad hominem."
  
  No, it's there, just more subtle then usual. However your point is valid. He makes a point, not a good one in my opinion, but a relevant one. However out_of_the_blue has a reputation for being an idiot. One relevant post out of hundreds will not negate that.

  Really? Mine doesn't. My bill just tells me I pay for voice, data, and texting and the amount owed.

  Re: Moving Won't Help Legally

  A few counterpoints to your almost well thought out argument.
  
  1) Techdirt doesn't censor posts, the community hides them. There's a difference. Just because you have the right to free speech does not mean you have the right to be heard.
  
  2) This is a global economy. Remember in 2008 when the entire planet went into recession? We rely on each other more then you would like to admit. If companies from other countries stop doing business with the US, that would be far more damaging to the US then any terrorist attack.
  
  3) The online gambling ban affected US companies and US citizens, not anywhere else. Other countries can still gamble online just fine. Same as with point number 2, companies from other countries stopped doing business with the US. Not damaging to the US economy since online gambling was relatively new and unused, but imagine if everything went that rout.

  The Register is not representative of the nerd opinion. Hell, in my opinion, The Register isn't representative of sanity. That's like saying the Daily Mail is a reputable news source.

  Damn you shadows.

  First: Piracy is not theft.
  
  Second: I don't watch Game of Thrones, I quite despise the show. It's just a damn good example of why your friend here is wrong
  
  Third: They're still not getting money. If they only offer one legitimate source, then they can't bitch when they don't get money from people who don't want to pay for cable.
  
  Forth: Cable is not a legitimate source for this show ether. Paying (not joking) $150 a month for one show would be idiotic at best.

  Re: Re: Tech details

  That wouldn't be a viable solution. Bittorrent isn't a browser, there is no HTTP involved. There would have to be something sitting on the PC to force the browser to open to that popup.

  Re: Re: Re: Not yet implemented, only forward-looking innovation!

  If the only way to support those who we like is to also support those who brought us SOPA and the like, I'll continue not supporting ether.
  
  Before you get the wrong idea, not supporting them doesn't mean I'm pirating their work. I've been more into independent creators. Mostly game creators actually, I don't watch many new movies or shows.

  Then don't use Google.
  
  Can you offer a similar solution to avoid the US government spying? You can't say "leave the US" since the NSA spies more on other nations. You can't say "Vote the assholes out" because we did. You can't say "protests" because we did.

  0 and 00 would be losses if you bet on red or black. I don't know the hard numbers, but statistically speaking, if you bet money at a casino, you're going to lose.

  Re: One fairly innocent dolt, two thieves.

  You're right on the criminal thing, you're wrong on the money thing. Money gets it's value from faith, not from labor. People have to have faith that this piece of paper will get them goods before they will accept it as payment for labor.
  
  If money gained it's value by the labor put into earning it, then inflation wouldn't be a thing. And if we're looking at it that way, only changing that one variable, the world economy would be long dead.
  
  I've never read Ayn Rand, but the more I hear about her writings, the less I want to read them. She sounds like a nutter.

  Re: Techdirt, not just PRO-porn, but for pirating it!

  Here's a little lesson for you, Blue, about how Google works. Google, and other search engines, give you what you search for. So if you spend all day searching for porn to bitch about, you will find it.
  
  I recommend you stop searching for porn to bitch about and start using the porn for it's intended purpose. It may calm you down a little.

  Re: Unintended ANOMALY. Man, you think this PROVES anything?

  If we followed what the United States is suppose to be about, one "anomaly" is one too many. Using a shotgun approach in an attempt to get those filthy pirates is a violation of due process.
  
  Even if there's only one out of thousands, that's not an anomaly, it's a miscarriage of justice.
