This is not really a justification of all the shit they do rather an attempt to explain the insanity.
Then someone comes downs rightfully buys it and enjoys the fruits of others labours.
What is not right is to reward artists by telling them that their hard work is just information free to be handed out to everyone, seriously call it what you want, you are stealing from these people. They don’t want you to give it to your friends or random people off the internet, they want you to pay for it.
If you really don’t like it, go and create your content and release it under creative commons and stop watching and listening to commercial movies/radio.
That being said with any form of piracy it is in effect stealing. If one were to go down to the local store and steal a product from the shelves and make a run for the doors, you will also be caught, brought up to the police, charged and taken before the courts.
Now is the methods being used by the record companies correct? probably not. But do they have a right to try and protect their profits from looters and moochers of the world? they sure do.
I think digital media is the way of the future, especially being able to access it from anywhere in the world with little or no effort.
I just think that piracy in this sense has been taken for granted for much to long and we should work towards naming it as it should be named and stop getting up and arms about it as much as we do and just pay for what we use instead of running off to the local torrent site and downloading the shit out of it.
Mail queues need to be monitored and cleared, kernels patched, customer issues need to be escalated. When you start getting into the size of a company with over 100 non-technical staff you will find you need at least one or two admins just to keep up with issues that come up.
Getting back to the moon and/or perhaps chasing asteroids seems much more practical at this time I don't think colonisation of mars will ever happen unless we gain the capacity to build bigger ships in orbit of earth, it just costs to much to get things up there. If we can solve the issue of getting basic materials and manpower into orbit and then set up supply lines that do not involve earth then we will be ready to start making caravels instead of rafts.
we have greylog in place to help query these logs from our syslog server, it has helped us identify alot of different issues since we have put it in place, not to be rude to the poster but I dont think you have the experience with really big log files and how painful it can be (or how long it can take) when you have to grep through this information by hand, zcating an old compressed log file can take up to ten minutes before you even start seeing data let alone relevant data.
