Except for the fact that you have iTunes, Spotify and friends. The music industry themselves did not change or smarten up, but the internet and technology companies did. Revolution? No, not really; more slow reform.

Like in all democratic systems, first nothing, then you can sue for damages. That is what it means. Like the constitution, you can't prevent the president or law makers from breaking it, all you can do is bring it up in court and have decisions reverted and damages paid.

Makes sense, the Turkey bit, so much for a picture out of context... (On the other hand why would Turkey want to be an ally of Iran? It is more likly that the US becomes a authoritarian state, than Turkey "sliding east".) On the subject of Greece, I can totally understand why the people are...

Ok who is not adding up one and one?! True the PC is the platform of choice for pirates, because it is easy. But it never means that console games are not pirated and ran on PCs. Thus making console exclusives will not lessen piracy. That is utter nonsense. What's even better is that this...

Why does that sound like they are trying to sell me a time share?!

Just to toot my horn here; about global warming; that is a really difficult subject. I am not denying that in the last 3 decades the temperature has risen. But it also dropped in the 80s and that was also attributed to ecological damage. Things are not that simple and many scientists have a...
