  Disgusting attack.

  I thought techdirt had a better purpose than politics.

  Re:

  I kind of agree with you. I think Essam crossed the line.
  I agree with the CONTENT of what he did, but he could have done it differently and without breaking any laws.

  Re:

  The United States of America is pretty much the only country left on the planet that supports free speech.
  
  The other countries you mention want to wrest control away from the US because they want to quash free speech, and NO other reason.

  LET IT HAPPEN

  Our congressman need to be taught a lesson.
  
  Let them pass this horrendous bill. Let them watch the lights go out on major online retailers. Let them watch our economy tank.
  
  The only way to make sure they never do anything like this again is to let the first time be SO bad that they can never forget.

  Re: Re: Re:

  Therein lies the rub, you incorrectly view the offending activities as "taking advantage" when, in fact, those users most likely spend more on the media than other people do.
  
  As long as the content industries continue to view their biggest fans as criminals, they're doomed to fail.

  I realize this is just a coincidental juxtaposition of topics, but don't you all agree that Mick Jagger is most likely a vampire?

  Re: 28 days is no big deal to me

  I used to go to movies on opening weekend, then I had kids.
  
  Now I could care less about when movies are released. I just try to check out redbox often enough so I don't completely miss my opportunity to contribute my $1 to the studio (minus redbox's cut).

  I love how you say Mike completely misses the point when you so obviously miss HIS point (and the point in general).

• On the post: UK Music Retailers Ask Why They Should Pay Performance Licenses To Play Music When They're Trying To Sell The Music

  

  Qritiqal ( profile ), 28 Sep, 2011 @ 08:43am

  let's see if i have this straight

  A music retailer shouldn't have to pay licensing fees because customers hearing the music might BUY the music as a result of hearing it.
  
  So why should ANYONE pay licensing fees for publicly playing music?
  Does the customer's distance from a cash register somehow affect the likelihood they enjoy the song and want to purchase it? What, do people just hang out in music stores on the off chance they might hear something they like and go find it on the shelves?

  Mike is a brainwashed slave because he doesn't it makes sense for people to gather and protest a capitalist financial system?
  
  You're right! Down with the capitalist pigdogs, up with the proletariat!!!

  I think they sued the glowing orb in the sky that used to be called the "Sun". Now we just refer to it as Bob.

  Re: Can't have a proper police state without it.

  I suppose someone else had a motive to kill Nicole Simpson and her new boyfriend in a blind, bloody rage.
  
  Are you seriously suggesting that OJ wasn't guilty?
  Yes, the police might have done something illegal to try to get him convicted, but my opinion is that it's only a "frame" if you DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO THE CRIME.

  Re: Pinch zoom sucks

  You don't pinch to get back to 100%, you double-tap (just like in Zombieland).
  
  On that note, I'm surprised Apple didn't sue the makers of Zombieland for using the term double-tap!
