I'm glad the material is available. If only the music, movie and other industries didn't spend so much time fighting it, and instead learned to profit from it. It might be fairly parochial, but I only know about the US -- but you are right,

No, not an excuse to allow them to pirate stuff. The fact is, they are pirating stuff. That is not going to go away. It's just observing a fact. Criminalizing a whole generation is more morally wrong, to me, than bemoaning lost profits that

Most of those hundreds of thousands of youngsters would not be purchasing those products, anyway. Most just don't have the money. As I look at it, most piracy is free publicity. Notice how movie receipts haven't gone down as piracy has ramp

Personally speaking only, I've spent about $1,000 (conservatively) over the past few years that I absolutely would not have spent if it had not been for edonkey, bittorrent, and other technologies. My interest and time for music waned compl

A large corporation lying? No, not possible! Of course, this is just to maximize profit at all costs. It may be anathema here, but I believe corporations -- especially those granted a government monopoly -- should have more than a duty to i

Maybe. Since the developers are getting overzealous, my guess is that they might try to block tab use altogether, a la how the Gnome developers operate. All software projects that are successful seem to go through an open, inclusive, custom

If Firefox does away with tabs, then I will do away with Firefox. No reason to use it if it does this. Other browsers are already faster, more elegant, and better in many ways. What most of them don't have is extensions. But even with the s
