I'm fairly certain that the terms of service explicitly forbids that kind of use.

Yeah, same here -- the various Humble Bundles put me way past $50 yearly.
I have bought three non-HB apps though. Bridge Baron, Wordfeud and Carcassonne.
FWIW the film in question (Beck - Levande begravd) was a total fiasco at the box office... The fine (if ever paid) would likely provide a higher income than the film netted at the cinema.
The *real* solution is to stop issuing software patents in the short term and patents in general in the longer term.
Nope. If he was intending to use possessive sense then that "for" shouldn't be there.
Either he meant "others' spelling" ("other people's spelling") or "someone else's spelling" or "others about spelling" (ok, I admit, "for" might possible correct too -- English is not my native tongue, nor am I a language scholar). "other's for spelling" doesn't make sense.
In before the, now, stereotypical US response of "your governments do it too!"...
1) No, we have liberty and freedom in Europe.
I dunno about other European countries, but in Sweden we definitely have a counterpart to NSA (FRA) that does similarly all-encompassing surveillance, all of course under the guise of "anti-terrorism". As an added "bonus" the laws regulating FRA explicitly says that they're allowed to exchange the information with foreign nations (read the US).
To dupe citizens into believing that the information isn't abused (of course the mere fact that the information is collected is abuse, but...) a special group has been set up to monitor the use of the information. But despite finding a lot of violations of the (already very permissive) regulations, FRA does not rectify any of their so called mistakes.
One example is that they're not allowed to save the information more than a certain time period (I believe it's 6 months). "Oh, but we copied the information to a different database! Now it's not raw data anymore, it's refined intellgence reports that aren't covered by that time limitation".
But other than that I agree. Two (or many) wrongs doesn't make a right.
So far my planning involves three different 2-star restaurants; 1-2 festivals (Amphi plus maybe something else); Roger Waters' The Wall (second time I see it); a C=64 demoparty; a visit to Legoland and then two weeks I haven't yet made plans for (will probably involve more restaurant visits).
But can anyone explain why the US Chamber of Commerce is the top money giving lobbyist, by 3x?
Because it is, despite the misleading name, NOT a government agency. It's through and through a lobbyist organisation.

My first reaction: "Yeah, that makes sense. Gotta take some kind of brain disease to make you wanna play American Football".
I've always been lucky enough to have reasonable managers; we just agree on registering the vacation to have taken place in, say, July/August, then I go on vacation whenever it suits me and the project best.
Usually I take my summer vacation in September or October (especially October kinda sucks to spend in Finland anyway, so it's a great time to go travelling, also the tickets are generally a lot cheaper then), but with this approach I can also move a week to spring if i want to, since the salary office won't need to be involved.
Americans do not allow their soldiers and airmen to be tried in foreign countries because of politics never allowing a fair trial.
Yeah, I guess the US policy of simply not having trials at all and just detaining "enemy combatants" indefinitely without any legal hearings is much more fair.
Quark (as served with jam).
Actually, we did something better -- the N950, but Microsoft^WNokia wouldn't let us sell it.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
