Dear Google: I don't want your 90 different apps. Stop downloading them for me.

@mashuga31 And they also actively support Open Source, create cool Open Source stuff (like Android), etc, etc. Google is a pretty good company, but I still don't want to give them too much info :P
-
@omni I never said they were saints and you should give them a whole bunch of info. But if I had to pick between selling my soul to microsoft or selling it to google, id choose google.

@mashuga31 Same here. Definitely Google.

Today in Dutch law: Downloading will remain legal and "compensated" by a few added Euro on each storage device bought in the Netherlands. Uploading remains illegal. @omni is happy about downloading staying legal, but thinks the compensation is complete junk as he doesn't want his money to go to the crappy pop bands who don't need it whatsoever instead of the small bands that need and deserve it.

@omni yeah if only there was some way to reward bands you like for producing music.
-
@ceruleanspark I do that. I buy their stuff. My problem is that every time I buy a mass-storage device, SOME of that money goes to bands that I specifically do NOT want to support.

"According to Verhoeven, an improved and simplified way to gain access to legal content will be much better in fighting illegal downloading than banning illegal downloading will be." ~ A Dutch computer magazine | Even though I think the choice of wording is rather poor (as downloading is not illegal here), it's good to see that we FINALLY have a politician who appears to be gifted with "common sense", something which is quite rare nowadays.
