Makes me think of

Why put that on dvds and bluerays. If you have the real copy then it should be skippable.

I'm finished with this discussion.People can always defend the indefensible if they don't think they can be caught.

You've not answered any of anybody's questions so I wouldn't say you've discussed that much. I would say you've basically just put points over as to why it's wrong.

They won't closed down the internet what they will do and what they're really after is censoring the internet.

I was in a hurry

What I meant to say I would say you haven't even put any points over as to why it's wrong.

This is interesting. The comments even more so.

BT still hasn't blocked it I thought that they had to comply by EOB Friday!

Then you need to go to SpecSavers because I have put my point repeatedly..

Britain's biggest ISP, BT, also received the court order but has requested further time to consider how to block the site.

Actually, I don't think the copyright laws are the reason for that. The government has, over the last few years, changed various laws to give us more privacy. That is the reason for the waivers.

Do you begin to see where I am coming from?

Well this it really, how do you measure success.

Do they all have to be multi millionaires or is just getting by enough?

You can't now! Still no justification for stealing. (ie taking something that's not yours without permission.)

What a crappy attitude..Who the hell are you to decide what's best for someone else?What right have you and all the other freetards got to decide what level of income such a person deserves?Who the hell wants to just get by?Some of us would like to do more than just exist so you can have the music collection/art work you want for free.

Impossible thinking.

I assume that you used the product key for Windows 7 that came with the new laptop?

True, but I doubt most people would consider what cleanfeed does, with the exception of blocking NewzBin2, as censorship.

And yet if photographing a model, who one would assume not to be concerned over their privacy during the shoot, the first thing you do is ask them to sign a model release form and basically end the shoot if they won't. However, when photographing a wedding copyright of the photographs actually belongs to the photographer on the bais that he can sell you further copies. Government and privacy laws are basically to protect celebrities from the paparazzi nothing to do with protecting the ordinary citizen. In reality you need model and building release forms in case of claims of copyright infringement. This is an interesting read though it is 4 years old.

As to the point of new business models Banksy seems to have found a pretty good one
