  Re: Incorrect

  So, people can just claim publicity rights when someone like a documentary filmmaker or a reporter says something they don't like about them. That's a great way out!
  We had better get all those unauthorized biographies off the shelves too!

  Re: Re:

  It seems to me the designs are just made based on good human factors. Rounded corners don't hurt. I've seen lots of counter-tops with this design as well and never hear about litigation. Maybe Samsung should try rounded rectangles with knives sticking out?

  Reasoning?

  According to the boards reasoning #1 is:
  
  "The use of recorded music is popular at
  sporting events, concert performances, festivals
  and fairs, parades, circuses and many other types
  of public entertainment. Authors of this music
  have been paid royalties for decades; performers
  and makers of sound recordings have yet to
  receive any compensation in this respect".
  
  All I can say is huh? Don't DJ's, etc already pay for the recordings? How could they possibly not receive any compensation?
  If they don't, they probably should look at the collection societies for some dysfunction or at least talk to someone who understands business..

  This is a relatively new adaptation to the internet reality. Someone has to try it first. Kind of like the first 2 people who signed on with record labels during the birth of the recording industry.

  Yo AC Bot 3000! Try to stay on topic at least. This article is about modding and not piracy. BTW, Mike didn't even write it. Regardless of the author, the point of view expressed in the article is not obfuscated at all. You really look both illiterate and foolish.

  Re: Get Your Priorities Straight

  It may be hard to understand but some countries do put their people and their health above the profit motive, even see it as a basic right. The Indian industry and humanity in general are enriched by sharing advances in science. That's how it works.

  Obvious troll is obviously immune to logic. No more point in debating if that is the case.

  Shocked

  The fact that people actually participated to defend their rights without being paid seems almost incomprehensible to the bill backers and press. Mind you that much support against the bills was a bit surprising to most people I've discussed it with as well.
