You assume? Mike, you haven't lived until you've been in a Waffle House at 3 AM on a Satuday night.
I know right? It's a strange mix of fear and hilarity served with a side of good, cheap food.
Are you saying that BMI is not a record label? I don't know for sure since I haven't looked into it. Regardless let me rephrase to try and fit your fucking standards [Edited parts in CAPS]:
The problem with this is that even if people do buy the CD, THE RECORD LABEL will only make like $15 per CD and the artist will probably take LESS THAN $.05 of that. Now, if they sue everyone in sight, BMI will make like $6k if they settle EACH YEAR and $30k if they win the case. The best part is that the artist won't see a fucking dime!

Also, use the "reply to this" button next time please.
One way to solve that problem is to say something like, "If you sue an American company in a foreign country over IP issues, you lose your ability to sell your product in America for 5 years."
We have one of the largest markets in the world, so we should use it as leverage against whomever needs leveraging.
We wouldn't be in this mess if the government knew what it was doing. The housing and economic collapse, $14.5 TRILLION debt, the sad state of our IP system, shitty schools, overpriced healthcare, economy draining entitlement programs, the failed War on Drugs, 3 military wars, etc. can attest to that.
For all the reasons above, I consider myself a limited-government libertarian. The less the government can fuck up the better.
You're right, the second option was correct. I just failed to realize that before I hit the submit button.
I'm glad that you can read at least read and write on a 4th grade level.
Is it 'to apology' now? Or did you mean 'apologizes for'?
I'll show you how these two short, stupid sentences are hard to read.
Is it 'to apology' now?
This is confusing because:
"Is it..." What is "it" referring to?
"'to apology'" This is just bad grammar.
"now?" "Now" as opposed to when?
This could have been more clearly written as "Did you mean 'to apologize?'"
Or did you mean 'apologizes for'?
This one isn't quite the trainwreck as the first, but when most people are trying to decipher what the hell the first sentence meant, they don't give the second much thought. Still, you missed some punctuation.
Now, as for my having dyslexia, it's true. I do have it; however, when I don't have to dredge through idiotic and grammatically incorrect posts, it's not a problem.

Re: Re:
Ok, what constitutes a public performance?
Say I'm having a Kegger with 50+ people over and I play one of their songs. Would I risk?
What if I was charging $5 for a cup?

When you buy a CD or a song off of iTunes or something like that, aren't you buying a "license" for the song?
Can someone expand on this?
Looks like the UK government is tying its own noose.
Re:
The undesirable result would be that they would then be in a position to lie using statistics much more effectively.
Re: Re: Re: Competition
Well, it only took me 3 seconds to think of that. I'm sure the politicians would think about it for at least 10.

"eh?" is used incorrectly, as it needs more "EH?!??!?!?!!!?"
FTFY

"Incorrect use of comma." is a fragment.
I hope this turns into a spelling & grammar correction shit-storm.

My theory is this:

Re: Can they sue themselves for their own bad advice?
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
You know what they say: 68% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Re: It just occurred to me
This makes a lot of sense:
"Give us what we want, or we drop the gavel."
VS.
"Give us what we want, or we drop the bomb."
Re: Re: Re: Re:
Sometimes, I think that that's what it's going to take.
I see people standing up for what they believe in all over the world, and I can't help but think, "Why doesn't that happen here?"
Unfortunately, I already know the answer: We're more afraid of the government than the government is of us.
