See, people whine about Back Oriffice but how can you stay mad at those guys?

[Stryke 9]

Not mad. But the guy who got that onto my computer is probably feeling kinda sorry, seeing as he got traced and thrown to Interpol.

What do you expect from a country that voted a retard in as President.


Strangely Enough If you go to www.opensecrets.org and look up those guys' major campaign contributors [then you can't because the site is down] but I'd be prepared to bet money that Walt Disney is at the top of both lists closely followed by AOL/Time warner, News Corp and SONY. It's nice to know our elected representitives have our interests at heart:rolleyes:

When you think about it, he does speak quite slowly...

Well, it's not like they can enforce it, but I'm thankful we don't have stuff like that around here...

[Top Gun]

Yes you do (unless you're from a country that hasn't signed the WIPO treaty (neatly packaged into a Trade Treaty or something of the sort in a simmilar way to how M$ packs nasties into its EULA))

Well, his IQ is, what was it? 84? Normally a person who's IQ is 80 or lower is retarded, so Top Gun was actually pretty much right.

For comparison, Bill Clintons IQ is over 160.

Eh, nope, nothing of the sorts around here. And considering the fact that the government here has legally allowed piracy when it comes to medicaments (quite logical - the health of the people comes before the profits of huge international drug manufacturers), I don't think they'll pull that kind of thing on other copyright issues...

Well you'd be interested to know that a BSA (the military wing of Microsoft) worker threatened someone with Prison rape in Argentina for having an Unlicenced copy of M$ software.

Brazil. There's quite a ruckus around here about signing trade agreements with the US, in fact. Most of it around that proposed America Free Trade Area or whatever, but we didn't sign it yet. We got a fair share of trade restrictions because of that "generic medicaments" thing too, but what the heck.

Just oppose anything from the WIPO whatever you do. The chances are that the trade agreements from the US require you to enact laws like the DMCA.

Currently Brazil is amoungst the few countries that has a mirror for the Blade mp3 encoder. Looks like they're not clamping down on software licences too hard (thank GOD!).

i was recently reading a book where large scale social, economic and power structures are overlapping paradigms.

For instance, the current capitalism/"democracy" overlapped from feudalism/monarchy

I'm a little worried at the moment that our current C/D seems to be overlapping with MetaCapitalism/Fascism, rather than improve things really seem to be going down the pan.

Unless something gets sorted this will end with blood on the streets.

I was reading a book called the Amtrak Federation and got angry at the fact the Mutants werent being slaugtered. The AF was ruled by the First family or something.
