Are you a friend of Raymond Luxury Yacht by any chance?

Of course we can. ACTA isn't just about piracy you know. What really scares big media is that they lose control. They don't want people to realise that music and films can be home made and self published. After all, why would we need them any more if that were the case?

You would also be able to discover that the new bands that the labels are hyping are total garbage, and they don't want that do they? You are supposed to hand over your cash for what you are told is the 'latest thing' and not ask any questions.

Limiting tickets per person doesn't work. My friend went to buy tickets for himself, his wife and their two children. Limit was two per person. Luckily his brother was with him and had his credit card on his so they got two each.
Scalpers get hundreds of tickets. Many of these are corporate tickets that get sold off as the businesses only use a few of their allocation each year, the rest are sold off. Make businesses return unused tickets for public sale rather than selling them off to scalpers.

Thats pretty easy to fix. Just allow refunds on unused tickets. Life stops you doing things sometimes, cant be helped. If someone tries to get refunds on 300 tickets however, they are scalpers and get told where to go.

A long time ago, I went to Shirecliffe College. Someone decided it would be a good idea to rename it Shirecliffe Higher Institute for Technology and Education. Aparently they got as far as having the signs made before someone noticed...

I can't comment on gas or electricity, but in the UK you absolutley cannot turn off someones water supply. It is classed as a basic human need for survival. Unfortunately, some people try to use this as a way to get out of paying their water bill.

What do you mean? It should only take about 10 mins...

Oh, wait... :(

As a true nerd I demand more details!

Which boss, did you get the kill, and what loot dropped?

Is that what is meant by having your cake and eating it?

This seems to have happened already. Look how album sales have dropped but singles sales are up. Why pay full price for an album when there is only one good track on it?

Sith Lord Mandelson is a lying fuck that should be in prison, not doing favours for his business friends again.

A few weeks ago I worked from home, and had the radio on. Now the PRS says that while this makes my a home a place of work, and I should be paying a performance fee to them, as I was working alone they don't normally apply the rules (tho they could).

Now a few hours later my girlfriend gets home from work and joins me in our computer room. The radio I am listening to is now a public performance, as 2 people can hear it in a place of work. I owe the PRS money as I am the house owner, allowing the public (me and my girlfriend) to listen to music, (that has already been payed for by our liscense fee and the radio station) in a place of work (my house).

I hope more of these stories hit the news so that people can see just how greedy these people are being, and why some local pubs are having to stop having live music as they just cant afford it any more.

This is selling for £35.99 in the UK.
If those 86K signees don't buy thats £3M, or about $5M.
Ok, so a lot will still buy, but but I would hope that with the potential to lose so much in sales someone would take notice.
