Australian here. See above; QuickFlix has to pay for the AU regional licenses for whatever paltry content the owners are willing to spare, while Netflix only pays for the US license (cheaper per view & much more content) but collects a *lot* of AU viewers too.

Hard to blame QuickFlix for feeling bitter, but it's the content owners that created the situation with the huge discrepancies between their region licenses.

Not that it matters anyway. Everyone I know that has a recent phone has a big fat case to protect it.

"is it really possible to express an idea in code that one cannot express in one's native language?"
Yes.

Please, explain in what way there aren't talented?
It's fine you don't like their music, but to say they don't have talent indicate you have some professional music creation detail they are doing wrong.
Wrong notes? off timing?
I look forward to a detail analysis of their work.

", but if people don't want to hear U2 from their own music collection, they shouldn't have to."
When did Apple force anyone to listen to it?

It wouldn't be stuck in your library if you setting didn't allow for it.

Modded insightful because you think making music isn't real work?
Idiots, all of them.
I wonder what you consider real work?

Accept you would violate several laws in doing so.
However, if you give me your address, I"ll be happy to send you a book on logical thinking, as well as the proper want to go about finding a therapist.

Wrong.
Apple thinks it can give someone a gift, and trust that person setting to accurate reflect the user.

" I want my library to be composed of material I choose, not apple."
The turn off that damn feature., IT's not Apples fault you don't know how to use your phone.

I bet you are so outrage, you'll get rid of all your Apple stuff, right? what's that? you won't? Then you don't care that much. do you?

Yes, it is overblown. People got a free album. It was downloaded to device that were set to allow automatic downloads. End of story.

You can be a hypocrite and still realize change needs to be made. When you are entrenched in a system, you can only change it from inside the system.

People in sweatshops are often treated as property. Hence, slave.

There are many methods of slavery.

People aren't arguing semantics when they say it isn't slavery, they are just ignorant about slavery.

Not if I gave you permission to do so; which Apple needs to do this to your device.

I would be upset you were actually in my house, but that irrelevant here.

You need to have automatic downloads turned on. You can also have you device only download over wi-fi.
If you are concerned about data, and you haven't used those features, then learn how your phone works.

I ma really tired of this shit.
Rich person send his money and limited time on a charity the want supported.
Suddenly they are bad people.

I suspect your just jealous, but since you can't actually talk about making music, you just make up ad hom attacks about what he does with his money.

"I haven't listened to anything new by them since then."
well then., by all mean go on about the new album. No need to have actual heard it.
ha ha, no you can't be that pretentious, I kid.

*reads rest of the post*
AH, apparently you can be the pretentious.

Let her go by herself and see what happens.
