Is it okay to download something if you've already purchased it?

Crouchosarus

Let's say I preordered an album, and then the album leaked. Is it cool to download the leak 'cause I already own the album?

Moriveth

You make too many threads.

This is, what, your fourth in a twelve-hour period?

ChicoBlue

There's an entire sub-forum for questions like this.

DarkPrimus

You don't own something if you've pre-ordered it, dipshit.

Druhim

I don't think you're going to fit in here at all son.

Guys I got the sexual headache thing yesterday. It really hurt. It has never happened to me before and I am afraid.
I also have a stiff neck and Wikipedia tells me I should see a doctor, should I?

Mysst

Like, your man wanted to have sex with you but you faked a headache, or he was plowing your ass and you got a headache?

Stim oh my god I'm so sorry for you

I was nearly to the point of orgasm once when the spermicidal lube from the condom got into my urethra and starting a fire inside my dick.

It really hurt.

It has only happened once.

Also Mystt I'm a dude and I was jerkin' it.

Time to ... test ... to see if it happens again tonight. If it does I'm sure I'll just have to leave it for a while, maybe a month from trauma. Kind of like when you get put off a certain type of booze after a really bad night.

And similar in the fact that the bad night was probably great too. Like jerkin' it.

It burned like a motherfucker, and then it burned when I had to pee for a few hours after. What sucks is that this was afternoon sex, so instead of a really good day it was fairly disappointing.

The RIAA says any digital copies of a CD are "unauthorized" and could bring legal penalties, whether you own an original disc or not. To the RIAA, all you own is a piece of plastic - not the content of the plastic disc. That said, so far they have only gone after people that "make available" those tracks, i.e. upload them to P2P filesharing programs...so as long as you don't SHARE the CD, you won't be found out.

DarkPrimus

The RIAA says things that go against Fair Use though so...

Snowbeat

Odin did you really tell him it's OK to pirate music

are you retarded

DarkPrimus

I think he said it's okay for you to make personal copies of the CD, ie, rip the tracks to your computer.

But it's a rather convulted statement.

Franko

what happens if a woman eats viagra?

OdinOwnsYeAll

It's a very convoluted legal interpretation that is probably going to be revisited and ruled on again within the next year.

To reiterate: The current ruling says all digital copies are illegal, even if you own an original disc (unless specifically authorized by the record label in the case of itunes store, etc.).

However, the RIAA says that personal copies (that aren't shared online) won't get you into trouble.

Alice,

My girlfriend is interested in all kinds of sexual experimentation, and she's recently been wondering what it would be like for a woman to take Viagra. I know it is intended to increase bloodflow in a man. What would it do to a woman? Also, what are the side effects? Would they be any different for a woman? And is there any safe and legal way for a woman to obtain Viagra? I'd like to support my girlfriend's curiousity, but I don't want to see her hurt herself.

Thanks!


Dear Reader,

Viagra, whose active ingredient is sildenafil, was launched in 1998 for use in men with erectile dysfunction (E.D.). Men have problems with erections for a variety of psychological and physiological reasons. Only a health care provider can determine if Viagra is appropriate for their individual situation. Viagra works by allowing increased blood flow to the penis, thus causing an erection. Some researchers theorize that sildenafil may have a similar effect in women, allowing the erectile tissue of the clitoris to engorge with blood. Tests on sildenafil's effects on women have been conducted by Pfizer (the company that developed Viagra), but the results were inconclusive. Other companies have tried to develop a female equivalent, but to no avail. While there is no form of sildenafil that has received approval for women from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some health care providers have reported prescribing Viagra to women who had physiological sexual dysfunctions. They do not recommend Viagra for women who have psychological sexual dysfunctions.

Men who take Viagra by prescription risk side effects, such as skin flush, headaches, indigestion, and muscle pain. Some men report that high doses cause visual disturbances, including seeing a blue "haze" surrounding objects. Priapism, a prolonged, often painful erection, has also been reported. Serious drug interactions can occur. Viagra users who take heart medications that include nitrates risk dangerously low blood pressure. (Illegal stimulants, such as ecstasy and cocaine, are often cut with other drugs containing nitrates.) Because sildenafil has not received FDA approval for use by women, side effects in women are not known. Women could experience side effects similar to men, but they could also experience others that could potentially be more serious.

Mail-order and Internet pharmacies have tried to cash in on Viagra's popularity. Since many of these pharmacies and the drugs they sell are not regulated by the FDA, customers run the risk of receiving low quality or counterfeit items or drugs that may cause the user great harm.

Men using Viagra need to have it prescribed by a health care provider and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist. Women who obtain the drug from their partner, a mail-order pharmacy, or the Internet run the same risks, including the known and unknown side effects mentioned above.

Your concern for your girlfriend's health and your support of her sexual expression and response show you not only care for the sexual side of your relationship, but also for her well-being. Rather than taking a risk with your girlfriend's use of a prescription drug that is not prescribed for her, why not encourage her to explore other sexual interests? Instead of spending money on Viagra, go together to an adult toy store and see what interests her. Perhaps adding sex toys, lotions and potions, role-playing, and/or watching erotic videos/DVDs will add to the excitement of her next sexual experience, and yours, too! Also, many books are available that can give you suggestions and ideas to enhance your lovemaking and relationship. One popular choice is David Schnarch's book, Passionate Marriage: Love, Sex, and Intimacy in Emotionally Committed Relationships.

The realm of human sexuality is only limited by our imagination. Since you and your partner are comfortable discussing your likes and dislikes, encourage your partner to experiment with other safer methods of arousal. Pleasuring and enjoying each other instead will be more fun than worrying about potential negative side effects.

I would feel bad if I went into a story and stole a CD, but I have never, not once, felt guilty about downloading it.

I have no idea why.

I think I've ended up buying ninety percent of all the media I've downloaded. The rest I just stream from YouTube, which is kind of piracy if you think about it.

You own the physical media, but that doesn't give you free reign to make as many copies of the music as you want.
