This only confirms my belief that avoiding EA games like the plague is the best practice. All they did was upset their loyal customers. In another week or so someone will figure out how to save games on the local PC and then the game is essentially pirated thanks to a DRM scheme brought to us by clueless idiots.
Yes! Exactly! They need that wood because it makes a specific sound that makes the instruments they produce in AMERICA sound good. Why is that so hard to comprehend? The same idiots who complain about this wood that customs allowed in our country will complain when Gibson decides it just isn't worth it anymore and then moves their production out of the USA. How daft can so many Liberals be that they can't comprehend this simple fact.
No wonder the Liberals haven't been able to fix our economy. This over regulation is killing us.
I contacted Gillibrand via email. Her office sent back a standard email bragging how she is a co-sponser of PIPA. This idiot senator actually brags about supporting PIPA. It just shows you how money corrupts or politicians.
But it's extraordinary that the politicians supporting SOPA can't see ? or don't care about ? the huge damage it will do to the international reputation of the US.
All American politicians care about is the money. Dam the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and free speech.
The biggest concern of Congress is money. Especially the big money lobbyist from the RIAA throw at them. Doing the right thing, supporting democracy, making sure they don't break the internet, is of little concern. They just want all the gobs of money big media companies will give them. They are all probably excited because now the big tech companies will be throwing money at them. This is how Washington works. Isn't our American system wonderful?!?!?
I work for a major university. Sorry, but it isn't called spyware, but management software (Microsoft makes such a product). One of the features of this management software is to easily report what is installed on a persons computer. This type software and use has been used for more than a decade.
Why does a company or university use it? To make sure nothing is installed on the computer that will compromise the very network your computer is using. That isn't the only use, but one of the many uses of this type of software. Why does a university or company want to limit the use of file sharing programs? It can be an attack vector and many consider it a security issue running on a network. Students seems to forget that the network they share with the rest of the community is used for many important things beside downloading software. It is important to make sure the network bandwidth isn't clogged with hundreds of PC's downloading movies or TV shows.
Hugo Chavez is a left wing communist idiot. His plan is to stop anyone or anything from criticizing him. So what does he do? Close radio and TV stations. His next target is the internet. You can't close that down but you sure can censor it. Just look at what China has done.

"reeducating and rehabilitating". Good luck with that. How do you reeducate a violent thug with a 4th grade reading level?

The lesson here is DRM equals more pirating.

Not long before we do the same
I'm sure the good old USA will find a way to do this as well.
