Bad comparison, you don't "buy" music, you buy the medium and rent the music. The woman bought the portrait.

Don't they, though? (Within copyright limits) If you buy a cassette, the quality and experience is much different than something more contemporary. Doesn't the work of data-conversion and remastering warrant additional funding? &g

I used to justify piracy by thinking that the digital data was more like particles in water than items on a shelf. If you pee into the water, it doesn't matter how much or where you aim, all the water is corrupted. In the same way, if

I graduated 3 years ago, so that's close to right. I imagine my professors would say that the comment posters are out of touch with the contemporary University environment. And then the comment posters might say that the University is

I used to listen to people like Ron Paul, and he would say something like... The stronger our economic ties and dependencies, the less likely we are to commit aggression against each other. I believe he supports the non-intervention policy.

And I would hope that a respectable court would consider sexual acts to be acts of expression between parties, which is a protected right.

If I'm understanding you, it sounds like you don't necessarily consider "natural rights" to be the best facilitator for "liberty", and that you're dissatisfied with people who praise that kind of idea. Am

Then I ask, why are we having such a tough time defending against illegal digital collection and searching by the government? Doesn't it seem like people care about their privacy from government? If public opinion isn't allowing o

Your post brings up some good points: Precedent is important. Also, being aware of your rights and theirs precedents in history is important. The Constitution is entirely written in a manner that grants citizens rights and restrains governm

Many constitutionalists consider three-letter government agencies to have constitution-violating powers that produced evidence that should otherwise be consider null and void by courts.

I would consider digital files to be akin to "papers and effects", and would be subject to the same discretion under a warrant. (I.e. the evidence we're looking for is specifically in this app's chat log from [reasonable

I always found it weird how people starting thinking gay marriage should be legal, when in fact it should just be protected under the first amendment all along. It's almost like people don't understand their first amendment rights

And from what I understand, this was a new point of view from governments at the time. The idea of natural born rights was kind of in stark contrast to how governments usually operated: with authority and a lack of respect of human rights.

I consider stop-and-frisk to be in direct volition with the fourth amendment. Boarder control is a little different. I have the intention of extending these rights to all humans, so the boarder shouldn't change the rights of humans. Be

Well are you trying to be surprised, or are you trying to defend your natural born rights? It sounds like you're not interested simply because it's redundant.

Are you really missing the point? The cost to build something in the private sector is almost always cheaper than asking government employees to do it. The public sector "didn't build it" like you said, but if they had, it wo

I think the argument of private sector vs public sector for quality also comes with a price. As in, how much did that fancy UI cost the public, vs. how much (edit: it would have cost) the private sector to build.
