HBO's Game of Thrones

I haven't read the comics. What gated community?

You should. You're missing the good stuff

I like TWD, but I wish they would get the hell out of Georgia. I mean, I know the network has some kind of deal with the state or something, but I get frustrated that the characters don't travel far. I mean it's not like they should expect Georgia to be the best situation. What about the surrounding states? Didn't they say something about the zombies slowing down in winter? Couldn't the group mobilize then?

The white walkers live in the snow and they are zombies, right? They seem to tolerate it ok.

The white walkers are more supernatural than anything

Oh yeah, I forgot that the main one shattered when that kid hit him with the dragon glass.

The comics kept them in ga for a long while, though they should be moving on soon.

Go ahead and download them. Especially if you're a Canuck.

What does being Canadian have to do with anything?

I just read a summary of the whole comic book series, and it sounds like they run into multiple "Woodbury" type communities and have a bunch of little wars with them. I was really hoping there would only be 1 "Woodbury war".

There IS only one "woodbury war" there encounter some similar settlements.. but those lead to... different results.

I aalso preferred the way the woodburry incident went in the comics. was MUCH better.. especialy lori's death.

In canada, downloading of copywritten material is Legal so long as its for personal use.

People! This is a Game of Thrones thread. Can't you talk about comics and vampires somewhere else?

I don't see where I have insulted you. I could, if you'd like.

I could say something like I can see why someone who liked Pacific Rim doesn't like TWD, but I am not sure if I can use small enough words so she would understand.

And you're still insulting me.

1. Calling me a "she" after I have stated that I am a male, what are you? Twelve? Grow the **** up.

2. I've had the Pacific Rim avatar/sig long before the film came out. Which I was disappointed with. Still of higher quality than TWD season 3, though.

QQ moar pls.

While the unauthorized copying - uploading - of complete copyrighted works such as books, movies, or software is illegal under the Act, the situation regarding music files is more complex, due to the Private Copying exemption.

First, to qualify as Private Copying, the copy must be made onto an "audio recording medium". However, there remains some controversy as to whether certain things such as digital music players, or computer hard drives, constitute audio recording media. In 2003, the Copyright Board introduced levies of up to $25 on non-removable memory in digital music players such as the iPod. However, this was struck down when the Federal Court of Appeal ruled that memory permanently embedded in digital music players could not be considered an audio recording medium. The court also gave the opinion that a digital music player, as an entire unit or device, could not be considered an audio recording medium. However, the Copyright Board disputes the latter, and maintains that "it is not settled law that a digital audio recorder is not a medium".[5] Copying onto an audio recording medium for which no levy is currently charged still qualifies under the Private Copying exemption: "For instance, simply because the Board has not been asked to certify a tariff on hard disks in personal computers, it does not follow that private copies made onto such media infringe copyright."[6]

The application of the Private Copying exemption to copies made via the Internet is also a complex issue. Prior to 2004, some analysts believed that it was legal to download music, but not to upload it.[7][8]

For a brief period in 2004/2005, the sharing of copyrighted music files via peer-to-peer online systems was explicitly legal, due to a decision by the Federal Court, in BMG Canada Inc. v. John Doe.[9] Under certain conditions both downloading and uploading were held to be legal. Specifically, paragraphs [24] and [25] of the decision[10] stated that Section 80(1) of the Copyright Act allows downloading of musical works for personal use. This section specifically applied to musical works and therefore the decision made no determination as to the legality of downloading other forms of copyrighted works.

Paragraphs [26] to [28] of the decision also made a ruling on uploading, stating that

The mere fact of placing a copy on a shared directory in a computer where that copy can be accessed via a P2P service does not amount to distribution. Before it constitutes distribution, there must be a positive act by the owner of the shared directory, such as sending out the copies or advertising that they are available for copying.

However, the case was appealed, and on May 19, 2005, this section of the decision was set aside by the Federal Court of Appeal.[11] The appeals court dismissed the case, primarily due to lack of evidence linking the unnamed defendants to the alleged copyright infringement. However, it held that it was inappropriate for the original trial court judge to have ruled on the question of whether making music files available on peer-to-peer file sharing systems constitutes "distribution" (illegal under the Copyright Act) or simply facilitates "private copying" (legal under the Act) at that point in the proceedings. The appeals court specifically left open the possibility of future lawsuits, wherein the question of the legality of peer-to-peer sharing could be addressed. So far, no further such lawsuits have been filed in Canada, leaving it an open question.

In June 2005, the then-Liberal federal government introduced Bill C-60, which would amend the Copyright Act to, among other things, specifically make the "making available" of copyrighted music files on peer-to-peer systems illegal. However, parliament was dissolved later that year due to a non-confidence motion, and the bill was never passed.

A new copyright bill was expected to be introduced by the current Conservative Party government before the end of 2007. It was expected to have much stronger protections for copyright owners, including some provisions similar to the American DMCA.[12] However, due to massive public outcry in the days leading up to the bill's expected introduction, the government delayed its introduction.[13] Just before the end of the second session of the 39th Canadian Parliament, the Conservative government introduced Bill C-61.[14] Bill C-61 was superseded by Bill C-32 (40th Canadian Parliament, 3rd Session), which was introduced into Parliament on June 2, 2010.[15]

On September 29, 2011, Minister of Canadian Heritage James Moore and Minister of Industry Christian Paradis announced the reintroduction of the Government of Canada's Copyright Modernization Act under the new designation of Bill C-11.[16] This was signed into law on June 29, 2012 as the Copyright Modernization Act.[17]

Seems pretty sketchy.

I am stoked that Thor Bjornsson will play The Mountain. He came 3rd at World's Strongest Man this year. He is 6ft 9" and 440lbs lean. He is trained by Legendary strongman, Magnus Ver Magnusson who won WSM 4 times. I got to spend the day with Magnus 2 weeks ago which was awesome.

Only because it is hard to enforce. The government has begun collecting IP addresses of users who download pirated material. This will change I am sure.
