If UUCP was so great, and the graphical web so awful, why are you using the latter and not the former?

AHAHAHA you mean back when the telco charged you 4x as much for a "data" line as they did for your daughter's second phone line?

AHAHAHA, no, you faggot. He meant back when "there was a choice of like twenty different ISPs in the area, including some that were 'free' and ad-supported." As in the sentence immediately following the one you quoted.

That's what this is about. If the "right holder" really isn't, you can now challenge them, forcing them to file a regular DMCA notice under penalty of perjury.

Challenging the DMCA notice forces them to actually go to court, although Google, admittedly, isn't then obligated to restore the content or clear your account of any "strikes."

You may be surprised to learn that the Libertarian party agrees with you 100%.

You're right. VoIP is impossible, and clearly not how cell calls are routed right now.

"Annoying" and "incoherent" are perfectly cromulent reasons to mod something down.

It's just "eroge"--the Japanese portmanteau of "erotic game."

It's insane, but not unprecedented. A quote from the Copyright Act, in the context of how the copyright royalty board should set rates:

To minimize any disruptive impact on the structure of the industries involved and on generally prevailing industry practices.

It was suggested that deleting the data would be more profitable for Facebook. Jhoegl thought "therefore, they won/t, because pollution!" followed logically. You decided this was an "analogy," rather than a profound failure of comprehension or logic.

Who gets your iTunes account after you die? Or you WoW account? Or Steam games? I think we could use some precedent for what happens to licenses/accounts/other things wrapped in the trappings of intellectual property after one's death.

Something like "you must allow a deceased to will his MP3s," that makes licenses more transferable, can't possibly benefit established monopolies.

How did you manage to reply to a post without reading any part of it? Unless you're implying Facebook having stale accounts is just as bad as flaming rivers... in which case, get some perspective.

Well, that's not quite right, either. The only reason, say, UPS can't deliver the mail is because it's illegal for them to touch your mailbox. Unlike roads, I don't think the public benefit of having a bankrupt, quasi-private agency deliver the mail outweighs the public cost of four million tons of junk mail and an $11.6 billion shortfall.

I'll agree that I'd rather see municipal broadband or government-leased lines than The Local Cable Monopoly.

I can't tell if you're trolling or just New.
