Just lay a trail of Ubuntu coasters along the road leading up a ramp into a barred window van with a snapshut rear door and *bang* - a whole nest of Freetards caught and duly processed.

I am not making outrageous claims of conspiracy theory with nothing to back it up but a pathological and insane belief in nerdy net underlings who detest society as a whole. *snip rambling garbage that would put Rexx Ballard to sleep*

Comes with the autism. I just want to make sure that I am not being misunderstood. And experience has taught me that I often am unless I really elaborate. >> Coming from a man who has just stated that he suspects GNU/FSF to be >> affiliated with Scientology, that's a pretty ludicrous statement. >> But like I said, don't let the facts stand in the way of your hatred >> for us GNU/Linux advocates.

It does not happen when I am the witness to a communication between two other people, but when I am the recipient of the communication, then I tend to take things literally because then I have (virtually) no way of ascertaining the mindset or intent of the sender. So yes, I am communication-impaired. I was born that way, sorry. -- *Aragorn* (registered GNU/Linux user #223157)

[...] > > [3] > http://torrentfreak.com/uk-copyright-cops-target-kids-schools-community-centers-081015/ I found the link you provided rather interesting: [quote] To get this money the PRS go after people like the 61 year-old mechanic Paul Wilson, who has worked alone at his garage for 23 years since he was 15. He can't afford the PRS license, so now he has to work in silence. “When I was first contacted by the PRS I thought somebody was having a laugh with me,” he said. But really, this is no laughing matter. After the demands for money, Mr Wilson told the PRS to take his radio to prove he wasn't listening to it, but the PRS warned that the police could come round to do spot checks. Meanwhile, the garage next door to Mr Wilson also received a PRS letter, so they are maintaining radio silence too. Just regular people trying to earn a living, being chased down for money to listen to a radio at work. It's astonishing. When the small guy gets hit by these type of issues it really annoys people in the copyright debating community. However, if you really want to widen the debate and spread some really bad PR, it's going to take tactics which show how low you are prepared to go. For instance, you could go after a charity trying to raise funds via a tea-room, discover their staff radio can be overheard, and demand money from them. [/quote] I thought that radios play familiar and popular content, so people would listen to the advertising between content. This is how they make money and how artists receive a royalty. During the day time, most people except for a few are either at work or at school. Therefore, having a portable radio near them to listen, whether a portable or plug-in was considered fair use. The radio stations have their advertising content being listened to in the work place. For a mechanic to listen in his shop would be considered a violation because he is a business? This is shear nonsense. I would say the same for a body repair shop, that has say several employees and a small office with several chairs. The office manager has a radio at his or her desk, so clients come, also hear the radio. These must pay several hundred dollars or pounds sterling to listen? This is madness. I think the whole entertainment industry has gone bonkers. -- HPT |
