Why would we want to do that? The media tariff is basically your get-out-of-jail-free card here. Just buy one blank CD-R and keep the receipt. Then download all you want. When the media companies try to sue you, simply send them a copy of your receipt as proof that you paid for an unencumbered and universal home-use license via the government, in the proscribed manner, and direct them to send their demand for payment to the appropriate government office for servicing.

I'd never thought of nerds as misogynists before, but your clever use of the word "cunt" convinced me otherwise. Well done.

How about if you got an auto insurance rebate to make up for the illusory lack of freedom?

Force manufacturers to install these kits on ALL cars. Tax liquor produces to cover the costs. Done.

Have you considered adding BitTorrent support so the ap automatically searched for/downloads torrents for eBooks that are not yet in your library? ;)

How does the ap determine that a bookplate has been affixed to the page and isn't just placed there to bypass the ap security? I can see taking one bookplate with no sticky on the back into a library or bookstore and simply shooting photos of it on the copyright page of any book one wants...

...and here it is: http://torrentz.eu/c0b168446fc...

should be on the torrent sites in time for Christmas?

Thank you. This is the best gift one could hope for in a Bennett thread.

^This. Slahsdot is supposed to be "NEWS for NERDS" not "Musings from Bennett."

Tried a few out to see - it seems that the listings with magnet links are legit, but there are others that want you to download a *.exe file which is highly suspect.

That sounds like proof to me. Thanks for the heads up.

Really? Thanks for pointing that out. I always just use torrentz.eu anyway. Not to be a bitch, but do you have any proof of that?

The instances at thepiratebay.ee and thepiratebay.cr are still up.
