  Re: The Only Answer

  Most of them will be perfectly happy to deal with 19th century tech and will proceed to be even more clueless.

  Re: let the dreamers DREAM, just put them in a padded room

  Actually, copyrights were created to protect the publishers and the government from printers. See Statute of Anne.

  Re: Re: It's not incompetence

  An order to produce implies an order to not destroy. If in fact the lawyers destroyed any relevant documents during the course of the proceedings, I'm pretty sure that would be a felony.
  
  Correct me I'm wrong anyone.

  Re:

  Well, I'd have to say that with more restrictions, or a higher price, or both, he would probably sell less, and make less profit. Basic market economics.

  Re: Re: union "support" for PIPA/SOP

  Threading problem: that was in response to AC "piracy erodes the market from the bottom up." above if it doesn't show right.

  Fun, here we go.
  
  Assertion without evidence, or link.
  
  Anecdote without link. Others must be also suffering.
  
  Over-investment on spec: she made a 200k film without an existing supporting fan base? WTF?
  
  200k is low budget for a lesbian film?
  
  The Studios are huge multinationals so are partially immune (not what they argue -- funny that).
  
  The studios will stop producing "art" and there will be no more art.(Yeah right)
  
  SOPA is only more harsh to foreign sites than current law: (false) you mean ICE implementation which is yet to be determined legal.
  
  SOPA is only more harsh to domestic sites than current law: (false)
  
  And to your last point: It is doubtful you want to hear that, unless it is to craft a position paper against these union member's position (not the union).
  
  BTW: as a consumer, I am an "actual" stakeholder in this policy discussion. Please note that.

  Re: Re: Union "support" for PIPA/SOPA

  Seriously? you are going to trash an actual member? what an ass.
  
  And then you are going to argue that any of this has any affect on small production investment?
  
  Disingenuous beyond stupid.
  
  By the way, if you are going to post here so much, please pick a tag name. Pretending to be "any old person"?is offensively dishonest.

  Re: I suppose a few of you know this

  Interesting. Causality would be more interesting.
  
  Any possibility that in a disperse, low law enforcement population where most men had guns, most would be reluctant to use them?
  
  What about homicide rates rather than totals?
  
  Thanks for the link.

  Re: Worth it ?

  This is interesting. You know Mike works aside from the blog, but yet you don't want to attribute any income from anything else.
  
  He would seem to get income from elsewhere ... What's our angle?

  God you are such an ass. USENET has historically been a hugely valuable resource for technical discussions of all natures.

  I don't think you know what the definition of astroturfing is. If I express my opinion, it isn't astroturfing, asshole.
  
  As demonstrated in earlier posts, Big Content is the one astroturfing.
