Interesting and humorous (imho) article:

I wasn't sure if "legalise" was proper spelling so I right-clicked "define" in my context menu. I thought the definition that popped up was like far out, Dude! I heard dictionaries are never wrong...
Couldnt care less as I dont live in france but what extension are you using for the define context menu?
Do I detect some Frenchophobic hostility in your reply? How do you know I don't live in France? Maybe I'm a Frenchman with a Mac using Internet Explorer with Norton AntiVirus that never defragments any of my hard drives! Would you like FREEDOM fries with that?!
ha, no I dont hate the french. I really just dont care if they are allowed to steal files. Now if their law influenced ours then maybe...
Your post made me smile though.
Thanks for the links.
No problem
I doubt that the EU would allow France to do it anyway.
I was looking for info on the EU and found an article entitled:
I can't stop laughing long enough to read the article.
France sucks, its not as simple as their legalising file sharing.
There is a proposal to allow it, but then everybody in the country will have to pay taxes even if they share files which sucks for all old people who dont use computers.
France has also had proposals to make free software illegal.
France sucks!
That in itself is just plain retarded!
If such a thing were to pass what I would do is have whomever passes such a proposal tested for drugs, they'd also be subjected to an I.Q. test to find out just how damned stupid they really are. Then publically give the results; "they were high" and "they're stupid," I have the test results right here.
I agree, that is really retarded.
Sometimes people, life and the world is quite depressing...
France is just one of those countries that I could never understand.
Yeah, french people are strange...

Elimination of free software appears to be one of the major goals of the misnamed "Trusted Computing" initiative discussed in other threads in this forum. Although not eliminating free software directly, it would accomplish this by making it impossible to use free apps in conjunction with paid ones, for instance OpenOffice would be prevented from working with any of MS's applications.
I don't know which is worse, stupidity or greed...
I'm not from France but you guys says France sucks and they are strange but anything that is different from you and from where you live will always be strange it does not mean they suck. There culture is different so they are going to have different views on things then you do. There are some strange things about America i thing are kind of weird, s*** there are things about my county i think are strange im not going to go around dissing America of my own country just because there is something i don't understand about it.
well... i think winston churchill was a big fattie
What?
hahahahaha j/k
i thought that was hilarous , i guess i was the only laughing but i just ahve a really immature sense of humor, but it was all in good fun.
I just had no clue when you said
"well... i think winston churchill was a big fattie"
what on earth you was talking about, obviously apart from Winston being fat.
well you were saying that one shouldnt bash another ones country because they didnt understand the culture or customs, so I did exactly what you were saying that we shouldn't do.
I don't think you got what i was saying. Winston Churchill is a individual not a Country.
