US continues to export freedom: Pressures Canada in piracy (We're #1!)

Purchasing something does not give you the right to remove all copyright protection.

Sounds to me like circumventing copy protection for your own use is still a different "crime" than theft.

FWIW, I disagree. If you purchase bits representing a movie, you should be allowed to do whatever the **** you want with it provided it is still in your sole possession. I'm not stating this is how US law is, I'm saying the US has draconian laws and you should be ashamed of your country.

I prefer patriotism to nationalism, but at least you have a spine.

Customs Inspector Adam Angel died while on duty in 2004. Now he may not have gone down in the line of fire, but an officer dying on duty is always a tragedy.

I find it pretty disgusting and distasteful, that you find the death of your fellow countrymen, so damn amusing.

The guy died of a heart attack while on the job, that doesn't ****ing count.

I'm laughing at YOU because you are beyond pathetic.

The fact that you are using the tragic death of a man to simply push your own agenda is reprehensible.

Would it have been less tragic if it had happened after he punched out for the day?

bc1871, what do you do for a living?

So does a man have to be shot, or run over to be considered a hero in your eyes?

I find it rather disgusting, that it takes an extreme tragedy to honor a man’s service to his country. Our law enforcement officers are all VOLUNTEERS, and by so choosing to volunteer to serve the community, they take o n the risks inherent in the job. I salute those brave men, who give their lives for our nation.

Every officer should be honored!

I think he's a journalist.

You guys really should pay them. You'll get better law enforcement that way.

Frankly, I'm offended bc1871 doesn't show me more respect. For all he knows I'm a secret agent for CSIS working on items critical to national security.

Show respect, bc1871

[Solomwi]

Thank you for your selfless volunteer service to a country with which I have no connection, Asher.

[Asher]

I'm glad to be a hero in your eyes.

You always have been, but before it was for your Buddhaesque patience and restraint in the face of abject stupidity.

HEY! I'm the only Buddhist around here, do you understand that goddammit?
