Sep. 10th, 2008 07:21 pmIf you're running Windows and you burn dvds/cds a lot, I recommend ImgBurn. It handles most img/iso/etc formats and can reverse the +/- on a dvd automagically. It's also pretty fast, all things considered.

The answer is that it's completely unnecessary. They can lobby the State for new laws.
The movie/music industry doesn't need to assassinate filesharers. It has laws passed declaring such activity illegal. They don't even pay the cost of State crackdowns on filesharers. The cost is externalized to the State.
The banking industry doesn't need to assassinate gold/silver dealers. It has laws passed making such a business impractical/expensive/illegal.
The food industry doesn't need to assassinate small bakers. It has laws passed restricting what they can do (trans-fat bans, mandatory State inspections, etc.)
Large farming corporations don't need to assassinate small farmers. They get raw milk banned and they require RFID chips to be implanted in animals. They only sell terminator seeds, and declare usage of heirloom seeds illegal.
The answer is that large corporations don't need to assassinate their smaller competitors. The State does it for them! Under the guise of "rule of law", all sorts of amazing crimes can occur!"
