[Flurry]

Well boohoo. Get comfortable. And I agree that they do need to be replaced by those who actually understand things.

lol the MPAA thinks the internet is run by Google. It scares them because they are facing a system that has no leader and therefore can't be bought. The best part is knowing they could easily profit greatly by working with the internet instead of forcing the rest of the world to stick to te old way of doing things.



I don't see why they just don't make an Itunes like shop for movies and allow people to download them either to their hard drive or to a dvd disc. I imagine it's only a matter of time before they get blu ray RW discs and they could make a killing off of the internet instead of everyone just stealing their wares because they don't care to buy it the way that the MPAA forces people to.

I worked with a woman several years ago that said, and I am quoting as best as I can remember....



The Internet is nothing but dirty pictures and the space shuttle.

Not comfortable with a lack of control and fading borders?

Well, there was a reason the governments in Nineteen Eighty-four tried to keep their populations separated...

The Internet is nothing but dirty pictures and the space shuttle.

It's not that far from the truth...

No, it's true by approximation. Same way 10 = 12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures.

There's a lot more to it, obviously, but that doesn't mean they are entirely wrong. Just mostly.
