"Fight Club" is a grand example of pirating. The author got the book printed and movie made only because early version was so popular in Usenet. -- Wikipedia does not tell the truth, but it never does.

Particularly strange case of being alive. As we all remember Keith Richards as a walking dead was a constant joke on "Remote Control" MTV-show (~1985). Maybe he will never die. Most of the vital organs are probably replaced alread

Effect is exactly the opposite they are hoping for. One tries once or twice government-forced content and never again. So even when some independent producer in your country manages to make something actually good, it is shoved in the same-

Everytime I try Kdenlive it is no match for Cinelerra. I have lost all hope in 20 years. For example can I "Generate Keyframes while Tweaking". Does it even have Keyframes yet?
