Actually they do. They mention him many times, especially to their children.

I know this because I’ve taught EFL for a while now and all German students that have been in my class have told me that when at school most of their history lessons are about him, and they have school trips to the camps and they are constantly told how terrible it all was and how they should never let it happen again.

Apologies for the late reply. Nope, you’re wrong. The situation in America and in parts of Europe (and this is what they’re trying to introduce, in a blanket move), is that the rights holder can, and will contact you directly if they think you have pirated material of theirs, to try and settle out of court for a flat fee.

Cease and desist letters are also common from most ISPs (even though these don’t really give a hoot – they want your business, not that of the rights holder).

It is not uncommon for media groups to poison torrents, or post fake ones (tantamount to entrapment), to then hand over IP lists to ISPs and leave it to their legal department. So, you see, you’re wrong.

I agree with piracy and counterfeit, as long as the people buying it know that it is not the real thing. The only thing ACTA will bring about is that some reckless people will start selling, for profit, stuff that others dare not download.

It is a lost war, similar to the war on drugs, yet instead of trying to find a solution, people insist on bulldozing through.

Over the past two days, some more countries have said No to ACTA. Are they doing it wrong? I think they have the guts to do what others dare not – stand up for the rights and freedom of their citizens.

All I have to say to you is in this video. We are the only system, Expect Us.

Ciccio, I can’t for the life of me think how forgetting, whether willingly or because of dementia, what Dom’s reign was like can be even remotely positive. Do you?

For if demented, one’s blurbs about how good the big man was can only be termed positive if they’re locked up in a dark room somewhere where nobody can hear or see them.

If you cannot afford it, do not buy it.

What is it these days that people feel entitled to whatever takes their fancy whether it is within their reach or not? The usual (tiresome) line of reasoning goes – I cannot afford it so I steal it, and moreover I do not care about the money, effort and work that went into developing whatever it is that I cannot afford but still want. Nice.

Selective amnesia? Or positive dementia?

Yes they do. It is called SOPA and it is far worse. In fact, ACTA seems to be the most realistic option. SOPA, and there is also PIPA, are down right illegal and will effect not just the Americans but the whole world.

When I see people protesting against ACTA it really seems that they have it mixed up with SOPA. SOPA is a real threat. ACTA just needs to answer a few questions first before being written off entirely.

Still inaccurate, Pepp.

On consumption potential?

How can I cost a product based on consumption potential if my limited marketing prowess limits my sales potential?
