Tell me, if I run a community market with 1000 attendees every weekend, and one person sells a copied DVD to another at my market, should I be fined and go to jail? Should I be forced to monitor each and every transaction to see whether it was legal or not?

Depends if you're incentivising the whole process in the way that Mega were.

do they stop teaching english south of fucking hamilton or something.

No capital to begin your last sentence, no capital on the word "English" (proper noun - the name of a language), "English" is an adjective which can be used to describe anything originating from the small country within the British Isles. While the meaning may be derived from the context, the word needs a noun to be associated with it to be grammatically correct - thus "the English Language" as opposed to English people. In your sentence here is no capital on "Hamilton" (proper noun for a city in Cow country), 'or something" is a colloquialism but still an incorrect use of the English language. No question mark on the end of your question (even rhetoric questions have question marks).

Clearly they stopped teaching the English language north of Orewa as well. (And if you want to parse my sentence - fuck off)

The decision to withhold the formal entry of conviction was only reached after legal argument and it is rarer than hens teeth.

However from a public point of view we should be relieved. A hung Parliament for four months is no use to anyone. A by-election in 3 months, followed one month later by a general election is even worse. Utterly pointless.

He was found guilty - conviction is the next step - the judge can decide not too (would be very stupid of him, but the judge can decide. ) Banks can be an MP until he is convicted - he has not yet been convicted .. technicality I know - but one that does exist ..

Yes, you should And because you are here, you should be prosecuted here. Not sent somewhere else ... if Fat.com has done it then he has broken NZ law ... If he was not been in America can he still be charged under American law? I think not ..

Otherwise we'd all better slow down - because US speed limit is lower than ours - and we don't want to be extradidted to the US for speeding.

But then you too should be charged and so should every other NZer because the market was in their country and therefore they are just as responsible for allowing to happen, and especially the Govt and Police as the civil control powers. Gets ridicidodalas real quick don't it? The whole copywrite thing is a load shit, as soon as big corp takes over ownership and extends it well beyond the original artists life.

Banks is a slimy condescending cunt who knew exactly what he was doing! He may be remorseful, but, fuck him! Every time I've met him I've felt like going and having a shower afterwards. He'll walk - the government will do nothing as long as he's useful to them

As Mayor of Auckland, he cost the city over $50mill on the Waikato water pipeline, putting it out for his mates. Still - he got a new Ferrari out of the contract......

Im looking forward to the Incest Moron party turning all bitter and twisted. Almost as much as that Hun being extradited to the US and facing the music. It will happen.

Robert is a man of high morals and honesty that I am sure he will flip out big time if that were to happen, he is one of the most honest people I have met in the motorcycling game.

I was not challenging you man, I was simply making a statement about the way Robert shows the way he conducts his life with honesty and morals which he stands tall about! Honesty and morals.
