I would think it is reasonable enough to require that some negative thing happens to someone's health to call it a health impact. That's not moving the goalposts, that's going by the definitions of the words.

They are advantageous as long as most of the content producers are here. If not, they become a disadvantage.

That's the point where the U.S. throws it's weight around and gets others to agree to new terms.

So where's that health impact you claimed? Who got sick?

Except that it is much easier for a corporation to make profits disappear overseas on paper than it is for an individual. I cannot open a "Me Inc." in Ireland and pay Me 90% of my income as a licensing fee on me, the trademark and then deduct it from my taxes here.

They will do no such thing. The last thing they want is for the U.S. to reverse position on intellectual property and drive a worldwide shortening of copyright and broadening of fair use.

Guess cancer is still an issue but what I wonder is if one can combine this with more food and physical work and hence look good AND be fresh / not burn off quickly at the same time?

These types of robots will never replace humans in the fast food industry because high school drop-outs and liberal arts masters grads will always be cheaper. Might make a nice bartender on the long trip to Mars.

Yes, yes, I know. "Machine Learning" ...

Wow talk about false equivalence, I guess you don't know that watching eSports is a huge thing and PewDiePie is now YouTube's biggest hit? They just don't want to see a doofus like you play. People are interested in other people who can do exceptional things, whether it's an athlete or playing chess. It's not like that does anything important either.

What I can't understand are the people who get so caught up in "their" team even though they just happen to be born in the same region and these days with buying and selling it's not really a local team anyway it's the mercenaries who're current representing the brand. Next year they can be in a different club representing a different brand, same with the coaches and most everybody else. The only loyalists are the fans.

What's craziest is that if you think of it as an entertainment product they've instilled the attitude that the worse a product they deliver the more important is it that you stand by your team and show you support them. Imagine anyone else saying we're delivering crap and losing to the competition all the time, now's the time to buy our product to help make it better? They'd be committed to a mental asylum. I can understand the appeal of sharing highs and lows with other people and how that can bond fans together with team as a rally flag, but it's still collective insanity.

BS. Leftish stupidity.

Every heard of loans? Investments?

Wasted enough words already.

Since the TPB crew was sentenced to jail and for damages I'd say it was agreed upon what they did was illegal regardless of what I think of that.

And the downloaders may be in a situation regardless and more so if uploading is part of it.

For you people who divide the two breaches of laws into different categories I don't know where it counts but I also don't really see how it matters as long as you're sentenced.

You can hire who you want, but first you pay the fee for their education. Or educate them yourself, up to you.

Yes there is. I consider the police lazy enough that they'd do it in good faith because aside of the idiots that may come to them to get arrested instead of them having to go out and catch them, they would probably also reduce the number of cases where someone actually gets mugged, robbed or otherwise becomes victim of a crime, which would be yet another reason to leave the box of donuts and go out into the world to interview the victim and do a search of the crime scene.

Even if you don't think there are any cops left that actually want to do what is allegedly their job, there's plenty of reason for them to establish something like that without resorting to paranoid surveillance conspiracies.

And as soon as that download takes place in a police station under a surveillance cam we might actually come close to having a semblance of a similarity between the two.

Maybe if we built a really tall ladder...

That's nu-cu-lar radiashun.
