The majority of the HNers believe that there should be no intellectual property at all. Whether this is wise or not hardly matters because changing the law to reflect such a radical position will be virtually impossible. Enforcing the cur

It's pretty appalling that people believe Dropbox has an obligation to bear all the burden so some "startup" can make a quick buck off of copyrighted material. Where are the thought leaders on this? Sitting around with eyepatches over their

Well I don't think it is ad hominen if the reference was metaphorical, but I could be wrong. Sorry I labeled you as pirate (god I hate that word now), but I thought that was implied. Dropbox has certain rights. Whether they spend capital on

Oh the noble pirate, Dropbox must throw themselves on their sword to be moral. You are way out on a ledge but your tinfoil hat fits well.

And you don't have to be a genius to see this coming. In fact you have to be amazingly tone deaf. Fanatasies about the great pirate revolution are fine but legitimate businesses have to deal with reality.

Thankfuly most citizens believe people deserve to be rewarded for their work. They may partake in illegal downloading but they don't pretend it is noble.

Neither party is ever going to go for this. You would have an easier time getting file-sharing recognized as a religion.

I have to say I have noticed a trend with these type of articles. They skyrocket to the top at first, but when valid arguments come up, they are flagged into oblivion. I assume this is done by the same people that upvoted it in the first pl

They may be wrong in shutting them off, but they certainly have the right.

What does the usability of their product have to do with it? It's their product. I know, "everything is free on the Internet, man".

I support the idea. PG's dismissal of IP in general is quite a bad idea, in my opinion. Yes it will be very difficult, but I think it is important.

Disagree about offline maps. They are very handy in remote locations. Also I recently showed some friends going to Europe the app CityMaps2Go and they were able to use their iPhones for navigation without having service by preloading maps.

True. But MDO and CDX can both be made from younger trees and although they are more expensive they are much more durable due to being layers of wood as opposed to glued fibers. LVLs are another good example. Edit: For DIY projects never us

This web page is a good example of simplicity gone too far. I guess you don't know where the boundaries are until you have crossed them. This design is off-puttingly empty. I am not saying you have to fill it with bling, but you have to hav
