But the legal standard is that the copy "satisfy the taste for the original", which means that even if you would not buy a copy, you wanted it it enough to steal it. Then it's stealing.

ok, so it's copyright infringement and not theft. bfd

Does that mean the AG gets replaced, too?

Intellectual Property is a significant part of the US economy. To not enforce IP laws can have a negative effect on the whole economy. So, as you defend IP crimes, keep that in mind as you stand in the unemployment line.

The real question should be. Can they even READ?

However, just because someone pirates a movie, song, or piece of software, this doesn't mean that had they not pirated it, that they would've purchased it.

I don't completely buy that. Not that I'm against gun rights, but that I don't think that a group of gun owners would be able to take on the US Government. If the government was able to get the army involved, then the gun owners would be horribly outgunned. The most they could do is create an insurgency of sorts for awhile. By the time you need to resort to your guns, it's too late.

said by Zoly :

And how would they do that if someone subscribes to one on European VOIP and call elsewhere using it?

What if my VOIP company is based in let say Germany. And I call my friend in Russia and talk about different bs. I think wiretapping in this situation would be very illegal!

But if this Administration wants to listen,no problem,I can always invite them to join the party using 3-way calling, unless... they don't like 3-somes. LOL

said by RARPSL :

I think it is a conflict of interest to allow congress-critters to vote THEMSELVES a pay raise. All they should be allowed to do is raise the salary of whoever is elected to fill their position after the next election for that position. IOW: To vote themselves a raise, they must first get reelected (no lame duck votes and a Senator must wait to get reelected to get a pending raise not just for a new Congress to get seated since 2/3s of them still have a Congress or two to serve in before needing to run for office again).

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized, unless the executive branch says they have a good reason.

What a complete joke this is! I"m glad Bushy will be gone in January.

Because a nice number of people know the Taylor Troll with his traditional pro-RIAA/MPAA wording in each post, never bothers to reply to others either.

Tell the DOJ to keep their nose out of it, and lower the salary of congressman which somehow they don't want to approve a 2.5% increase for DoD personnel, but they get a raise whenever they wish.
