Probably less, because more than likely a lot of these are from areas that at&t has spotty coverage at the best of times, so more than likely there wouldn't be any dropped calls because the people with at&t couldn't get a signal to even make the call.

And facism is a RIGHT WING movement. Big improvement there.

Yes, because people only steal games from big companies. How about the little video game shop that is just trying to get by, particularly the one trying to get by without having to sell out to one of the video game giants.

Then we have the Japanese Anime industry here in the US, which has been collapsing for some time under the weight of theft. Several large companies have already folded, companies that almost certainly could have kept going strong if people had actually paid for stuff instead of just downloading it. The industry has never publicized horribly inaccurate numbers like the MAFIAA has, but it has become apparent that downloading is hitting them very hard

What kind of approach would that be? Every single thing that any company has done to try and reduce the number of copies of their product that has been stolen has been vilified as evil DRM that is oppressing the masses. I dislike disk checks as much as anyone, and often use cracks for games I legally own on my laptop for convenience sake. I can understand why they do it though. It at least stops a small portion of the population from just making copies of the disk and giving it to all their friends/classmates/random people on the street.

If they didn't have that check, what is to stop you from just going and renting every game you want to play, put it on your hard drive, and return the disk. Repeat until you have gone through the 360 section of the nearby rental place.

The person in question had a malignant tumor on their breast, it was just caught before it started to spread uncontrollably. How in the heck is removing a breast to get rid of malignant cancer cells preventative care?

Wait....what? Are you serious? So developers are no longer allowed to recoup the millions of $ they are spending developing games? Either the company that made it, the company that published it, or the company that sold it are going to make no money if you try and sell the game for that cheap, or at least not enough to justify it.

Using modern materials in a extremely complicated setup that made it ineffective as any kind of weapon, only in ideal conditions. Yes, they so "proved" it.

And that right there is the main problem for most users. 90% of computer users don't want to have to do "a little jigging" to get every single thing they want to do to work, let alone know how to do it.

As an IT person who has moved to the "boonies", married to someone who has lived here her entire life, I think you guys have a bit of an outdated idea of what life is like out in the country.

Perhaps it is different in the bible belt, but here in Iowa pretty much every girl in a small town goes on birth control as soon as she enters high school. Girls who are already on birth control bring any of their friends who they find out isn't to a place like planned parenthood so they can get it. They are also not as stupid about STDs as you people seem to think.
