maybe not 100% related to the topics above but relevant nonetheless
(and a good watch for anyone spending time on the interwebs and/or concerned with the locking down of the internet or monetization of idea & information) -
Not that it matters but I personally don't understand how you could choose to put these two things together.

because the way the power$-that-be are going to (or- are) controlling piracy is via criminalization and censorship of the internet.. and we need to be REAL carefully with agreeing with their stance as it's just furthering the whole patriot act/NSA spying thing..
there are some points in the documentary that do address stuff brought up in the thread (such as 'stealing is stealing').. things i feel are worth reconsideration or reevaluation of.
the documentary also revolves around copyright law and the hoarding of knowledge/information for monetary gains.
i don't know.. i just think it's relevant but i don't know how to (or if i should be) sales pitching the thing.. just sharing it is all..
but the first reviewer on the imbd seems to see relevancy as well:
"In the age of piracy, SOPA, and net neutrality, this is a must see."if it's of no relevancy to you then no biggie.. it will probably be interesting to someone else.

Your choice.
I see resurrecting this thread as detrimental to your point.
Posting a thread where a proper discussion can take place without the "banned" negativity would be far more productive in my humble opinion.
But what tfdik.Edit: not a fan of mods invisible edits. Posted as a new thread I would have applauded it.

But what tfdik.i don't start threads. i just hijack them*
but yeah, i see your point.. that said, i think ultimately, the 'banned' bit and it's negativity are still relevant in all of this..
*** i say that as a joke but i guess if i were to analyze my posting history, there's probably some truth in there..**

no.. it was a hoax.. maybe 8" of snow here..
i'm sure the news people who hyped all this up in the first place will find some crap town in eastern vermont where it dropped 28" and broadcast "over two feet of snow!!! snowmaggedon really happened!! it's the snowpocalypse!!" :0

ha.
I guess in this case, it's just an example of still not being able to predict the weather very accurately.. but I guess eastern Long Island got it pretty bad.here's my street right now. (and the piece of street art that led me to the video earlier.. I didn't know who Aaron Swartz was til I saw this painting. finally remembered to google him)
