  It's an interesting court case to be sure... but the pettiness of the fight between the two women makes it almost unbearable to read! It's like watching children fight except with more adult language.

  No, not like medicine help, like psychiatric help if he needs it as opposed to throwing him in jail for no reason. If he doesn't then fine, leave him be.

  True, path of exile doesn't need a pay2win model that attracts people with inflated e-peens and deep pockets like certain other MMOs...

  Didn't SWTOR at first fight tooth and nail against going F2P and blamed it's beta testers for it? I mean, it's great that they were proven wrong that a f2p model could work, but I think they felt they were forced into it early on.

  Some people obviously haven't been fanfiction.net, they'd probably have a heart attack! People who fantasize the rape and torture of children are sick and need help, but thankfully their stories are just that, fantasy. Instead of throwing the books at people, why not try and help them instead?

  Re: Re: Quick to Judge and WRONG

  ALSO! I don't see how anyone can deny the overhead picture embedded in the article showing only one side? Is this perhaps a case of doublethink?

  Re: Quick to Judge and WRONG

  you can see the editing in the footage when the yellow things(butterflys?) fly across the right side of the video and there's a blur where the image was doctored. And that's only just what I noticed from watching it once.

  Re: Re:

  I actually think either way is correct.
  
  And to add to your point, it's sad that people don't recognize that deleting something is far from erasing it's existence forever. All whoever was responsible did, was make it that much more obvious they have something to hide.

  Not that I condone the hate emails and death threats, but part of the reason they're receiving it is because often times that's the only way people can vent on the situation; too often, as stated in the article, there's nothing done more than grand speeches of "truth" and "justice" with perhaps a slap on the wrist.

  I'm confused though. Why would they want it taken down in the first place? They spend money on lawyers, it gets taken down... then what? Could someone perhaps enlighten me?

  How does that patent even relate to Ditto's services considering the patent is for a "3D model" and Ditto's service is for a video of the consumer's face?
