As much as I hate these sponsored researches, it's correct saying that piracy will not stop. However, it's also correct to say that murder will not stop as well if you take away all firearms and all sharp implements. There are just some things that they have to live with, not that they live in poverty over piracy.

Now, question is - how much copyright infringers will you be able to convert? I bet it's enough to cover costs.

But look, I just used the magic word at the root of it all - costs!
It costs more to serve the major segment of copyright infringes and will erode other monetization channels. What they want is to shift the costs of defending their "right to profit" to general public. Because it's cheaper to buy off a politician, than creating and maintaining something like Netflix. Remember - a movie contains a crapload of copyrightable material that requires a separate license/agreement to reproduce a derivative over the new medium - the internet. That is why they have geographical limitations - these copyrighted materials might have been bought only for creating derivative works and distribution of the derivative works in US, because it's cheaper to buy nationwide license vs worldwide.

Because it's those several people that sell that movie - a few stars and the director. These mutjobs only provide the initial funding.

That is only the date when they decided to make it official. They have been slow to release and update their Java port since about the time iPhone was released.

Sun had a lot of valuable tech and people. Only a small subset of what makes Java Java has to do with Google.

What did you for->get?

FYI: Apple dropped Java long time ago. And IBM wasn't that keen on Harmony support anyway, Oracle was a much more vocal Harmony supporter in the pre-Sun merger times...They did, however, force IBM to move their public Java resources to OpenJDK.

Chillax, reimplemented APIs for compatibility purposes would easily pass under the reverse engineering permission in EU.

Yeah... Right... It's not a lawyer's job to keep up with the matters of law.... oh wait!

Actually heir motive is not doing a better job, heir motive is making sure your HMO gets billed as much or as little as possible(depending on the allegiance of said hospital to your HMO). If you want an example of an actual profit motive, then look at parts of medicine that is not covered by health insurance - plastic surgery is probably the only one. Otherwise, doctors in hospitals are already those bureaucracy employed people, just like teachers.

This should be enforced. And Microsoft has to tell people WHY it's being enforced... Maybe then some politician's kids will complain to their parents and something will be done.
