You seem like a real cry baby. Anyway, if I rent you a store front and you sell drugs, I should go to jail? If I run an electric company, supply you with electricity and you use that electricity to sell drugs, I should go to jail? DOJ is just being lazy. Jailing and then convicting the individual sellers would take effort and time.

Comment Re: Capitalist consolidation reduces consumer choi (Score 1) 45

The US does not have a capitalist economy, so there's no such thing as unfettered capitalism. The US economy is regulated in every way possible. If they could figure out how to tax money from the tooth fairy, they'd do it. Capitalism is a Boogeyman used to distract you from the real issue of your elected officials being bought and paid for by private interests.

Comment Re: I'm not pro-union. BUT. (Score 0) 67

Why would you work somewhere that pays so little? It seems like a simple solution: work somewhere else. Instead the solution seems to be years long lawsuits, involvement of giant government agencies, years long studies, with one of the long term goals of putting the employer out of business to teach them a lesson which means you'll be working somewhere else anyway. I get why the teamsters want this, more union dues means more money for their business, but I'd just work somewhere else.

You don't have to use Windows. Stop using it. It's not as though you need Windows. I'll never understand people. Company makes a product. No one is required to purchase product. People purchase it anyway. They complain government doesn't make product behave the way they want. People keep using product anyway. They could use Android, Apple, or any of the hundreds of Unix variants but for some reason they think it's easier to use their government to force a company to make a product they don't have to use behave in a way they want instead of simply not using the product. It's asinine.

Live with what exactly? Pictures of their faces on things that aren't their bodies? What if their heads were generated onto dinosaurs or broom sticks? What if the girl's head was generated on a naked man's body? Or a nude baby? I don't see a difference. None them are real. Nothing happened here. Their faces were super imposed onto a computer generated image. At what instance does putting a face onto a computer generated body turn into a crime? If the fake body resembles their real body with 55% accuracy? 25%? 99.9%? Who verifies the accuracy?

If you don't want your intellectual property shared, keep it to yourself. There's more music available now then at anytime in human history and it's accessible from any and every country on the planet. You're just mad that some corporate dope pushing music executive isn't holding your hand telling you what's cool anymore.
