The limitation of liability in Canadian cases is $5k for all infringement in a court case for non-commercial copyright infringement, but the more likely "get" is just $100. When their first "successful" case goes through the court system with a judgement of $100, it will make the news headlines and their business model will be destroyed.

Is it worth throwing a minimum of 5-8 years of your life away for money?

If AAPL had gone up, the guy would be a conquering hero raking in $millions in surprise bonuses. It's the same method Dr. House used to avoid punishment. Too bad this guy didn't realize that Apple is out of steam.

Nerval's Lobster writes "The one and only Jeff Cogswell is back with a new article comparing the two biggest competitors in the home-computing business: the Commodore 64 and the Radio Shack TRS-80. What does he have to say about these absolutely cutting-edge machines? The TRS-80 simply can't stand up to the awe-inspiring Commodore 64, which features the latest processor from MOS Technology, the 6510. Best of all, the C-64s graphics processor can display up to 16 colors simultaneously, and it can create a full screen made up of 320 x 200 'dots.' But the TRS-80 has some good points, as well, including a whopping 512 K of memory (not that you'll ever use that much, anyway). As Cogswell writes: 'Let's cover these two bad boys and provide a totally unbiased review unencumbered by any alleged kickbacks (including a brand new daisy wheel printer and a case of Schiltz Beer) from Commodore, the maker of the awesome machine known as the Commodore 64.'"

Climate Science really isn't a science. In real science, a model is developed and then it is confirmed against reality through many experiments run in many independent labs. With Climate Science, there is exactly one experiment which will take hundreds of years to complete. With Climate Science, computer models are substituted for experiments and the computer models miraculously confirm the theoretical models which they encode. Meanwhile, reality continues merrily along without regard for the circular computer-model "experiments", and in the short term anyway, reality is defying the computer models. Also in real sciences, the models become progressively more accurate over time and converge on a good answer. With Climate Science, the models have become more and more divergent from reality over time. Perhaps it should be reclassified as a Political Science.
