The printing press came into use in Europe in the 1400s and 1500s, and made it much cheaper to produce books. As there was initially no copyright law, anyone could buy or rent a press and print any text. Popular new works were immediately re-set and re-published by competitors, so printers needed a constant stream of new material. Fees paid to authors for new works were high, and significantly supplemented the incomes of many academics.
You're joking but it was 2400 movies over 7 years downloaded individually and not in bulk like they blatantly did with books. Apparently over 60% of adults admit to have viewed porn at work so yeah... someone should probably check on the engineers in the goon cave.
Yeah, I see them all the time on TV. They're also right behind the counter on 7-Elevens, and I can't get some Tylenol at a pharmacy without seeing them. Are you saying perhaps my own bias has led me to believe advertisement for condoms is more prevalent than it is? Interesting.
Last issue I had with Windows was that I couldn't update because my EFI partition was too small (the partition is created automatically on install). Why do I never get the funny ones?
I'm afraid I don't understand your comment, my good sir. Nothing has ever happened in Tiananmen. Certainly not in 1989.
