I stopped reading at "clergy".
We're Dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid Dicks. And the SF Police are Bush's. And Steve Jobs is a Colon. Bush's don't like Dicks, because Bush's get fucked by Dicks. But Dicks also fuck Colon's: Colon's that just want to shit on everything. Bush's may think they can deal with Colon's their way. But the only thing that can fuck a Colon is a Dick, with some balls. The problem with Dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a Bush to show them that. But sometimes, Bush's can be so full of shit that they become Colons themselves... because Bush's are an inch and half away from Colons. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this Colon, we're going to have our Dicks and Bush's all covered in shit!
Really? I'm going to shave off my goatee right this minute if I will be afforded that level of protection.
Good heavens. You'll troll just about any topic won't you. Doesn't even have to be written by Mike.
You really are a first class douchenozzle aren't you. Why do you even come here?
Sarcasm detector fail.
a broadcaster by nature doesn't have "space", public or private.
Then exactly how is it possible for anything to constitute a "public performance?"
Haven't been around the warez scene very long have you...
I would argue that it is you who flopped entirely on grasping the basic facts of the case, and what 'domains' and 'streams' are, apparently.
The domain names both are "streams", so I'll go with that at least for culpability: he WAS streaming it.
No, he wasn't. He merely found a stream, then told people where it was.
And since he was streaming "sports",
Again, not streaming. See above.
So you are saying then, that the music industry's main problem is that they're trying to make money from something that is actually the advertisement? If Apple is using the infinite goods (music) as advertising, in order to sell more scarce goods (hardware), and are being enormously successful in the process, would it not be sensible to assume that perhaps music industry is trying to sell the wrong product?
What you are essentially saying is that the music industry is displaying a failure to adapt to technology and a changing market and that they need to find the scarcity that they can sell and use the music as the advertisement (which is what it has always been).
I just downloaded Pirates of the Carribean.
fair use, clearly non-commercial, unless you are going to race home and produce your own bootleg DVD's and sell it for a profit.
Thanks darryl!! Finally you are admitting that clearly non-commercial use is acceptable. I do not intend to make and sell bootleg DVD's! How did it take us so long to get here?
We're talking about digital media, not the debt ceiling.
How much do I pay to read techdirt? Well, how many ads on the page? How much of my internet connection is used to see techdirt? I pay for Techdirt, you all do. No, not "money out of my pocket directly at the door", but I pay for it, in the same manner that I pay for "free" television, and "free" radio.
