Ah well, there go the three "R's" completely then. Too many kids are coming through the education system unable to spell/form cognitive dialogue and do any type of mental arithmetic as it is.

Quite! Let's find our next generations of IT engineers - not thumb pressers!

That's strange because it runs perfectly on my Acer netbook as well as my laptop and desktop, so I don't know what crappy spec machine you must be trying to run it on?!? An Acer netbook is a pretty basic spec...
quite apart from what you stated, there is also the assumption on their part that you were only ever in 1 location for the whole of that day!?! WTF! Some people make the rounds of visiting neighbours/family etc. on New Years Day FFS!

Hmmm... I don't think that quite works in this context, as (if you recall) Lenovo was the manufacturer of Thinkpads for IBM and subsequently bought the brand off IBM and now manufactures them for themselves. (Notwithstanding the outsourcing of assembly).
You seem to be obfuscating the fact that a number of these companies supply their components to each other/other manufacturers/fabricators. Acer actually started out as a component manufacturer to most of the other brands for example and Samsung actually manufacture a number of the components in the i******s - which are then assebled by foxconn for them... etc., etc.
Honestly though, all these different bacteria have been battling it out for millenia - why the surprise that the same resistances manifest themselves in bacteria from yonks ago?
Well... They shouldn't worry too much about that. Clearly, they will very soon be able to exert just as much pressure elsewhere as the US courts continue to inexorably take over the jurisdiction of other coutries' judicial systems...
That's a very good point you make there sir! If my details are in your address book, that doesn't give these A**H*** companies the right to slurp MY details from your address book, EVEN IF YOU have given them permission to splurp YOURS!
This raises another interesting question vis-a-vis the DPA - If I have the names & addresses, telephone numbers, emails, birthdays and other information about friends and aquaintances in my address book on my computer, does that also place me under the constraints of the DPA? Thereby making me liable to prosecution if that data leaks from my control (as the data controller of the data on my PC)?
You don't think they're going to actually stick your disc in a player and rip it do you?!?!
They'll be supplying you with the same digital resource that everyone else will be getting (access to the Full HD file on the server) - you just have to prove posession of the physical disc.
Most of the commentators here quite clearly don't have a clear understanding of the facts..
surrounding LVCR.
It was originally introduced EU-wide for goods coming into the EU from ANYWHERE outside the EU - not just the Channel Islands - because the cost of collecting the VAT on goods of low value was greater than the tax collected. That fact won't be changing just by reducing the value to zero - it will still be costing them more to process than they'll be collecting in tax.
The second thing is that they are just using the Channel Islands as easy target scapegoats unless they scrap LVCR across the board - for goods coming in from ANYWHERE (that's actually what the court case is about). Otherwise all that will happen, is that the DVD shippers (as opposed to the legitimate local retailers who are left carrying the can) will move to somewhere else outside the EU - like Switzerland for example.
Perhaps the other players have reduced their payments, say, from 2.25% to 0.25% by virtue of having reciprocal licensing to the tune of 2% in their favour. And maybe Apple hasn't got anything to offer by the way of reciprocation but doesn't think they should pay the full whack!?!

Ripping???
I think you're missing the point here.
You don't think they're going to actually stick your disc in a player and rip it do you?!?!
They'll be supplying you with the same digital resource that everyone else will be getting (access to the Full HD file on the server) - you just have to prove posession of the physical disc.

Or they just might supply them on physical media too.

Reciprocal arrangements - remember that bit?
