From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none...
I have to do my own ironing?
Where is the fraud
Well I don't know if this would be called fraud, but in the UK it does break consumer protection laws.
In the UK, goods sold must be "as advertised" and "fit for purpose".
The PS3 update breaks both of these: the PS3 is now no longer "as advertised" or "fit for purpose" as the advertised OtherOS function has been removed.
Likewise, if you do not update, another advertised function (the ability to play on PSN) no longer works.
Giving the consumer the choice of which function to give up isn't much consolation (no pun).
I do wonder, though: if the record industry somehow managed to successfully sue someone for more money than the entire world combined made last year and also magically managed to get payment in full, how much would the artists who made the content under dispute get?
Nothing, same as they got in all the other lawsuits/shakedowns.
oh, yeah. we can compete with the companies that own the mass media.
Of course we can. ACTA isn't just about piracy you know. What really scares big media is that they lose control. They don't want people to realise that music and films can be home made and self published. After all, why would we need them any more if that were the case?
If labels provided better samples, I would be able to discover the same groups without resorting to downloads.
You would also be able to discover that the new bands that the labels are hyping are total garbage, and they don't want that do they? You are supposed to hand over your cash for what you are told is the 'latest thing' and not ask any questions.
Maybe they will get that part figured out as well, and nobody will have any reason to complain.
Thats pretty easy to fix. Just allow refunds on unused tickets. Life stops you doing things sometimes, cant be helped. If someone tries to get refunds on 300 tickets however, they are scalpers and get told where to go.
Water, gas and electricity are already 'human rights', but utility companies have been able to cut off non-payers and abusers without issue.
I can't comment on gas or electricity, but in the UK you absolutley cannot turn off someones water supply. It is classed as a basic human need for survival. Unfortunately, some people try to use this as a way to get out of paying their water bill.
Hopefully one day I'll find a superstud who can satisfy me
Amanda Flowers needs 10 sex sessions a day after the slip-up.
Yeah, I don't know about you, but that sounds like a full time fucking job...
What do you mean? It should only take about 10 mins...
Oh, wait...
