No they mix perfectly :D

Basically if you agree to it then your job is to force everyone else to agree with it.

Oh, btw, for those who say that it's impossible to censor the Internet... it's certainly not. I know a lot of people who use the Internet for these kinds of things. Detecting patterns is complicated, but signal processing, neural networks, and all kinds of modern technology makes this stuff possible. And fun. :P

Certainly possible though, especially as the CIA has been dealing with information tracking for decades. They don't have a bunch of people wiretapping every single LAN cable. They have algorithms to do stuff like this, you know. And they're already doing most of it for market research now. Google's also an obvious example of how easy it is to detect certain bits out of trillions.

They do, but the effectiveness of their censorship is questionable.

I'm so going to laugh when Kim Jong-Il sues someone for copyright infringement.

I support Copyright

I just don't support the stupid and abusive aspects of it.

No one should be able to make a buisness out of copyrighting a bunch of things with hopes that someone will stumble into it.
Likewise.

If you put even a second of thought into it, you would realize total abolition of copyrights would totally screw over book, movie, and game plot writers, game designers, etc.  Basically any business centering around creative work would collapse.  Copyright is important - necessary, I would even go so far as to say - but some people are trying to take it too far.

If copyright never existed, my mom would have some job she didn't enjoy due to the one she has now not paying, I would never have been able to afford a trip to Europe, and my brother wouldn't have been able to go to a nice private high school - or even college for that matter.

Yeah, sure, whatever.  Hollywood ain't no ghost town, there's more channels on TV than ever before, people are still writing novels, and EA and Activision/Blizzard are still posting record profits.

I would hardly call any of that "creative work"

Oh praytell my dear Dorian, what masterpiece of imagination would meet your absolute discernment?

Besides, we're talking about business here, not taste.

I really don't appreciate having the efforts of family and friends called unimaginative.

This conversation is starting to become too sophisticated for me. We have Dorian Grey References and everything (at least I assume it is).

Terrible news: I saw a newspaper from last friday.

THIS IS ALL TRUE!

Not only that, but details: If they have sufficient suspicion, they will ban the whole household for AN ENTIRE YEAR.


All that CONFIRMED by a local newspaper.
