The only thing that has changed is that I can sue the rights holder if I am cut off the internet without justification. Now correct me if I am wrong, but to go through the process of finding a lawyer, communicating with said lawyer, getting forms and doing all the other things you do during a court case would be SERIOUSLY hampered by not having access to the internet. What if I can't afford a lawyer and have to read up on law...can't spend my whole life down in London at the British Library sifting through law books, I would need access to the internet to be able to do research. Also, how the hell am I supposed to check IP addresses and other such online sites I am supposed to have downloaded copyright material from without access?

I wouldn't want to do this down my local internet café really...

I say no to iPad and iPhone...

who lost?

not me...I have an alternative...

Sorry, but you "nice" interface and flat sleek look are not enough...I need something that fits the way I work, not the way you want me to work...

Anyone who answered Yes who don't work for slashdot and or any sister/parent company is a liar...

I don't see how you can be working and filling in a poll on slashdot at the same time.

If you're waiting for something to compile, your not using your time efficiently.

Party response:

1. By enabling free and uncostly access to software without the huge costs, thereby saving millions of £ that can be pumped back into getting more drugs.
2. Free software would save costs for software so our troops can be paid better.
3. By making software copyright free, inventors will have a ball and chain lifted from fear of the courts, thereby stimulating the economy with cutting edge new inventions.
4. By making software free, the border guards will save millions in yearly software costs that they can re-introduce into more guards, boats etc. Same with DSS, they would be able to afford to change the system.
5. Giving youngsters access to free music, free software and the ability to invent without risk of being prosecuted would be a great first step into giving kids from falling foul of laws governing the restriction of such material. Imaging what they could do with it...DJing, Discos, net tournaments, backroom electronics...Oh year, and the savings in costs to the police could be re-introduced to the system to allow the police force to increase their beat numbers.

Hi,

Please do tell where I can get Far Cry 3....Unless bittorrent has seriously moved into time travel of course...

Ok, let's clarify this...

IT IS NOT FREE!!! I pay a yearly license fee that gets paid into the BBC to provide me with these programs...I PAY. I should receive...Murdoch just wants to make everyone else but him poor

I don't know where you learnt to drive, but unless you have 3 legs, this is already the natural case...you lift your foot off of the accelerator, hence cutting the power, to put that same foot onto the break...If you don't, you should be on a track, not the road...

God, the solution is simple...if you could get a large enough group of people to follow:

Stop buying music for a few months...
If the record companies don't get money in, they can't pay the RIAA which in turn can't pay the lawyers...

The whole stack of cards comes tumbling down and consumers make a bold choice in how we are treated.
The shops that sell CDs will fold, the online distribution channels will fail.

Once this is done, let the music moguls back in on OUR terms, not theirs!

This is consumerism, it is in our hand, but we don't do it...Why? Because the majority of us are not affected by this (and I mean non-slashdotters by that) and getting them to agree to a boycott is like asking blood from a stone...A movement to trigger a music revolution is the only way this will change, although this is a socialist idea and most of the US/UK would rather shoot themselves first...

I drive a 120,000mile Saab 9-5 late 01 MY02 Aero Estate Auto (Manual's were too rare thus expensive). It has 250BHP from a 2.3litre petrol engine. I love it. It is the best car I have had. I have treated it rough because I bought cheap second hand.

Nobody has mentioned the iconic cup holder...simple, elegant, functional...
Nobody mentioned the dimming of the cockpit for night driving...
How about the auto leveling suspension?
How about the most comfortable seats of ANY car.

I long and hope for Saab's return...

It's worse than that...Read section (g) again:

So any future bionic would preclude me from the theatre. Any future technology at anytime in the future...Think about it...And it's

Not only that, but if you take the definition of (g) in the context of (a), you become a criminal even if you use a camera through the viewfinder without even having a tape to record in the machine!

Crazy wording, and I bet it wasn't written by a politician!

Wake me up when the processor is $100
