Much more straight-forward. Much closer to being the same thing. Would still have been pretty ridiculous if a verdict had been made that this counted as copyright infringement. (They settled it amicably)

This seems like a non sequitor to me? Why would not blaming people for falling for scams* require that you make laws stopping people from scamming? *Using scams here as catchall for various kinds of deceit.

Did you play Ocean Rift (a game where you're moving around as if you're swimming)? Any mech games (sitting in a chair in game really alleviates the problem)? Uncharted Territory (you move around, while being inside a space suit)?

Here's some off the top of my head. I know they're nit picking, but that's pretty much what you have to do to create a decent UX * When you're under active torrents, select a torrent, wait for it to become unactive (ie g

Animals learn from other animals by observing them? I don't think that's groundbreaking news. It doesn't have to actively teach the other crows for them to catch on

It sounds like there's a pretty big amount of crows that got in on the "drop gifts for food" program. And a camera lens is well within the range of what a crow would usually be interested in. It doesn't sound unlikely to

Crow flies with thing in its beak. Sees food, drops thing, grabs food. Comes back later, sees more food! Assumes food came from dropping thing (See "Superstition in the pigeon" [0]). Meme spreads among the crows. No ethics or deep

If that's what they wanted to do, couldn't they just set it up so they continuously downloaded all new torrents and looked at the ip of the initial seeder?

If the gender roles were reversed, and the guy was a journalist writing a piece about his invisible girlfriend, then being offended by that joke would be equally ridiculous.

It's brave because it's talking very honestly about something very personal. I don't know whether I'd say it's beautiful, but it's definitely well written. It's cynical, but that's also part of why it
