This might not work out the way you think. Generally speaking, with torrenting, you are not prosecuted for downloading the media. The prosecution is for UPLOADING the media, at least fragments of it, to others.

You'd need to set yourself up as an absolute leech - 0% upload. Might take a while to get the media file in that case. In which case one is unlikely to get the threatening letter in the first place.

Yes, the court system is nitpicky enough for that to matter.

You're not important enough to take away other people's right to vote.

I don't think you're comment is a bot. You seem real.

Once they take away my vote your vote no longer matters because they don't need you to vote for them to win because I'm not able to vote against them.

That's kind of how this mess works. People you disagree with lose the right to vote. That means your side no longer needs elections to win. That means the people in charge of you get to tell you what to do and there's nobody around the stop them. You become their slave. And they take all your property too.

I mean not you of course. You're super cool and super important. Your company couldn't live without you and women throw themselves at you.

At least to be like Steam - it is understood that people who buy things get said license in perpetuity.
IE they might buy a 10 year license for SELLING said titles, but they still get to provide said titles to those that purchased them after the license expired.
It sounds like Sony, for what was probably a trivial savings, wrote bad contracts. Or their system can't handle not having something for sale yet still downloadable by those who have previously purchased it.

Yes, but once one is ripping, the important part is the digital copy without DRM under your control, not the DVD itself.

From what I can tell color OS has bloatware but it can all just be uninstalled. The major complaint with color OS is that it has a different icon set that's meant to look like ios. Also by default color OS is missing all the Google apps but that's a Chinese thing. They can be installed they just aren't there by default like they are for oxygen OS.

There are probably some oxygen OS specific features I'm not thinking of that are going to be missing from color OS because I've turned them off in order to get my 13r closer to stock Android.

This shit goes all the way back to the opening of fight club. You figure out how many users have actually used content and therefore are likely to notice and Sue and you figure out how likely they are to be able to sue in the first place since it's very difficult to do any sort of class action lawsuits in America anymore thanks to lobbying from large corporations. Then you figure out a dollar amount on all that and a dollar amount to pay for the licensing and Bob's your uncle whichever one is bigger wins.

This is what happens when you vote for anti-consumer, anti-regulation, anti bureaucracy politicians for 50 years.

The thing people don't seem to understand is all those bureaucrats are the white collar cops walking the beat of the corporations screwing you over.

The only reason the DMV sucks, which is the only reason anyone hates bureaucrats, is because we intentionally underfunded because you can register the vote there. Several States just passed laws requiring the legislation to fund the DMV in order to create minimum wait times and as soon as they did that the DMV was fine and there was no complaints anymore about bureaucrats.

Also more people registered to vote.

Regulations are written in blood. And if you don't have somebody there to enforce those regulations the blood isn't going to stop. That somebody is definitionally a bureaucrat. Because we don't have cops policing corporations. Funny that when you and I do something we're not supposed to a guy with a gun and a stick shows up but when a multi-millionaire CEO does the same shit it's a guy in the suit with little or no power...

Even the physical copy in hand doesn't guarantee continued possession. Besides just needing to protect the disc from things like fire, physical abuse, and more, an awful lot of DVDs only last a decade or two.

I'm sure they have some definition for it somewhere in the legislation, probably an appendix or glossary.
"Designed to be worn on the body during operation or use, such as watches, hearing aids/headphones, body monitors, glasses, etc..."

Two decades old would probably mean you're considering NiMH rechargeable vs Alkaline primary - 1.2V vs 1.5. On the other hand, NiMH cells have much lower internal resistance, which makes it such that NiMH cells can actually provide more power, as the 1.5V of Alkaline gets pulled down to 1.2V or less much faster, as load increases.
Today, it'd be LiIon more often, though lithium primary cells exist as well, and both tend to be ~3V and low internal resistance. Yes, the primary cell, along with chemistries like zinc-air, are very long lived, but as it is easy to make the battery last all day and then just recharge at night, not actually that big of a deal.

1. Sony should be forced to refund the original purchases, no matter how old they are. If the consumer was only "borrowing" the media, then Sony was only "borrowing" the money.
2. Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Rum. IE Piracy.

If you're in the States and want an equivalent that seems to be the one. I tried the newest Samsung Galaxy but the battery life was horrible.

Qualcomm chips have by far the best modems. If you've got signal issues the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or 5 is the way to go. But they're battery hogs so you really want that 7000+ mwh battery...

Also watch out for expensive phones with old Gen 6 and 7 chips.

We bred them to be like that. It started out that they were just useful pest control and then we gradually selectively bred the ones that were the cutest and most affectionate.

And in charge of basically everything. What in the name of fuck did people expect? Cheap eggs?

People don't want the news. News consumption continues to drop. People always thought of news as a bit of a chore. Something you were supposed to keep up with but not anything you enjoyed. It got turned into 24/7 entertainment crap when Fox News took over but that's not news that's propaganda. And even that isn't very popular.

People in America are in the habit of blaming individuals for either systemic problems or what our Epstein class is doing. It's a bad habit and I wish we would stop but well, there's all that propaganda encouraging us to do it...
